Baby names

Family surname as middle name? One of my Grandad's middle names was Lamb for that reason, and stepdad's family also all have an extra surname as a middle name.
Otherwise, yes, it's a boys name.
And I think if you're doing the whole surname as middle name thing, probably best not to pick one that doubles as a first name, for the opposite sex...

In Belgium it is the tradition to give the new baby as second and third names the christian names of the godfather and godmother.
Hence many boys have got girl's names as middle names and vice versa.
Maybe they are following some tradition?
It really doesn't matter much if it's a middle name.

I have first name, middle name and a double barrel surname. I hate spelling out my name, it takes for ever, I was alway envious of Liz Smith.
A friend of mine had 3 first names, and 2 surnames. When she married she kept the first name which was Anna, and took her husbands surname which was very simple. Makes sense.
These days, I am fed up with my long name, and cut both my middle name and the first of the barrels.
Many names makes great palaver.
