Can I use the same middle names for both daughters?!

[lvra]

Hi,

My first daughters middle name is after my mum, she passed away when I was a teenager, I've been wondering would it be strange for my second daughter to have the same middle name to?! Has anyone else ever done this?

Obviously the name does mean a lot to me because it was my mums name but I also just love the name.

Thank you in advance!!

My children have the same middle name for sentimental family reasons.
I wasn't sure if it was a bit strange but they are older and like it. Apart from that it just never comes up, it's fine.

Nothing wrong with using the same middle name.
Flora and May are also lovely.

As another thought, what about the name of their other grandmother?

I think it's kind of nice for siblings to share a middle name. Tbh it's not often that anyone has to say their middle name, it doesn't really matter what the middle name is. You're picking something that means a lot to you and that's important. I say go with it.

Sounds nice tbh.
How lovely.

I thought about doing this (for similar reasons) and decided against it. I’m glad I didn’t; you find that middle names are used for kids more than you might expect and I think it’s nice that each child has her “own” name.

My sister and I were given the same middle name and it's lovely to have that link. Particularly for girls who might change surname when married - it feels good to share something in our names

I would be more inclined to use a similar name instead. In this case I would go for something flower related so it still holds meaning..... Blossom, dahlia, iris... That kind of thing
