Plus I figured we'd end up offending people who weren't honored, and everyone would expect it with future children. We just picked names we liked. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-kids-have-family-names#post-2546462 Wed, 11 May 2016 14:00:55 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2546462@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes.

But we found out after he was named that the middle name we chose was my grandma's grandpa's name.

Our living daughter is Liliana Rae. Ray is DH's middle name and the middle name of like half his family. The daughter we lost was Katlyn River. The name isn't really family related but we chose to use a K instead of a C because my sister's name is Katherine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-kids-have-family-names#post-2546402 Wed, 11 May 2016 13:33:44 +0000 Caly 2546402@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes.

LO1 is my grandmas first name. LO 2 is my moms first name. It's important to me that the middle names are family names. </p>
