My youngest dc's middle name is 'Fabulous'

Grin

My friends son has the middle
Name "tiger" he's now 13, incredibly skinny (more than just lanky), socially awkward, geeky, buck toothed and glasses. It's an AWFUL fit for him as a middle name and he's mocked mercilessly.

He's such a sweet lovely little boy but my god he's not a Tiger.

Our DD's middle name will be Lux. I think that's cool Grin

WankersHacksandThieves · 05/04/2017 11:18

Lux will always be soap to me.

nursebickypegs · 05/04/2017 11:25

Lux is from Virgin Suicides right?

ShoutOutToMyEx · 05/04/2017 11:51

It's actually from my school Latin textbook... it means light and I always thought it was a pretty word. I've always remembered it and liked it as a name.

Yes, Virgin Suicides.

And soap, and unfortunately the brand of choice of vacuum cleaner in DP's home country. That's why it's a middle name!

One Direction's hairdresser (who is super cool) also named her child Lux. Might be a boy though.

nursebickypegs · 05/04/2017 12:06

I love Lux. I think it's really pretty.

I knew a very cool little boy called Zeno. I think that would be a cool middle name. Also Galen.

mygorgeousmilo · 05/04/2017 18:09

I think make a list of weather and events and stuff when he's born. Turn the radio on, check out any family/cultural history on both sides. Might be a great-great somebody that had a v cool nickname that you can pass on with a story

I LOVE Snow and if I ever had a DD in winter I'm definitely using it as a middle name!

I also like the idea of using something a bit different or "out there" or even just something a bit fun for middle names. A friend of mine used Chandler as a middle name because her and her DH binge watched Friends on their first date- I think connections like that make for lovely MNs! I also know a spring baby with Neo as MN as it means "new" and a Bronte as parents bonded over their love of literature. Nice to have stories behind mns :)

Personally I don't think it's fair to give a child a middle name that they could potentially be mocked for, but each to their own!

HeadlessGummyBears · 06/04/2017 11:29

@countrybump Correction, Trouble is the ultimate middle name Grin

Littledidsheknow · 06/04/2017 13:48

River, Jupiter, Hound, Tyrion, Rock, Rocket, Wolf, Sunny

Silver is my favourite girl name but it sounds ridiculous with our surname! I absolutely love it.

Zeus, Kurt, Ace, Comet, Razor, Odin, Hawk, Jet, Red, Spike, Boo, Kane, Oz, Butch, Schwartz, Bear, Ludo, Ocean, Spirit, Gaia, Samson, Flame, Napoleon, King, Gentle, Flower, Rain, Zephyr, Casanova, Silver...

Some sound like characters from Gladiators.
