My name as a middle name...

[ComeONBridget]

I have quite a rare first name.

Would it be strange to use it as my little girls middle name?

I really like my name and would like to include it... thoughts? Too selfie?

I have my mum's first name as my middle name. I like having the link.
My brother has our dad's middle name as his given name.

Not a strange idea at all. Very commonly done, certainly in previous times if not so much now. And not 'selfie' at all - think of it as lovely family connections demonstrated through names.

I'm not a fan, mainly because if you have another then your first got the "special", name.

We would have done this but my name is rubbish! DS does have DH first name as his middle name as it is a strong, classic name; same for DH & his father. I think it's lovely. My first name is my mother's middle name. If your name is nice then definitely do it.

I think this is a lovely idea - I’m not keen on first names being after parents but I think it’s lovely as a middle name, and a lovely connection to share with your daughter.

Forgot to say in my post a couple of days ago, my middle name is also my grandmother's middle name. I love that I have that connection to her.

We had a boy and girl so it worked out with both our first names as middle names.

I didn't know what I was having both times so if DD had been a DS she would either have had my dad's name as a middle name or my middle name as a middle name (it's a gender neutral name) either way a special name from me.

My ds has his ggd name as a middle name and dd has her gnan name as a middle name.

Both on my dh's side I've just realised.

I have an unusual middle name and it's also my DDs middle name. My DS has my husband's name as his middle name. I wouldn't hesitate to use the name if you want
