FIL and DH's grandpa are variations of it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-have-a-family-name/page/2#post-1654732 Fri, 23 May 2014 10:11:22 +0000 Mommy Finger 1654732@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS's name is DH's maternal grandmother's maiden name. His middle name is DH's name, which happens to be my MIL's maiden name. So essentially, DS has 3 last names! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-have-a-family-name/page/2#post-1654364 Fri, 23 May 2014 08:26:06 +0000 Alivoo01 1654364@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>nope! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-have-a-family-name/page/2#post-1654336 Fri, 23 May 2014 08:16:38 +0000 LuLu Mom 1654336@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO's middle name is my great grandma's last name/grandma's maiden name. It's a tradition to give this name to the first born girl in each family. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-have-a-family-name/page/2#post-1654195 Fri, 23 May 2014 06:46:53 +0000 bookwormmama 1654195@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. L's middle name is DH's paternal grandfather's name. It is a big family name (DH's uncle and cousin both have it as theirs) but wasn't used in DH's immediate family. BIL has his grandfather's middle name though.</p> <p>If we have another son he will have DH's maternal grandfather's name as his middle. It is also a big family name...DH's uncle and brother have it as their first name. It is also my brother's middle name. He passed away the year before DS was born, so we debated using it this time, but we liked the other name a little better with his first and I knew DH's living grandfather would be happy we used it. He was really honored we chose the name. If we have a girl she will have my maternal grandmother's middle name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-have-a-family-name/page/2#post-1654187 Fri, 23 May 2014 06:38:35 +0000 Mamaof2 1654187@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS's middle name is after my FIL<br /> DD's middle name is after my grandma </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-have-a-family-name/page/2#post-1654179 Fri, 23 May 2014 06:24:19 +0000 oliviaoblivia 1654179@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD and FIL share their middle name, it was FIL's mothers maiden name.

It's LO's paternal great grandparents' last name as his middle name. We happened to be the second one in DH's extended family to do this. One of DH's cousins has the paternal maiden name of her grandma (LO's great grandma). DH's uncle thought it was pretty neat that we did it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-have-a-family-name#post-1653914 Thu, 22 May 2014 22:31:20 +0000 JoyfulKiwi 1653914@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep - but it's not our family's name! F has a pretty unusual name and people always ask us how we decided on it. Short story - we say it's a family name and leave it at that. Long story - we have a very good friend who has a family name that goes way back (like, 75 men in his family line, including his own son). We made a bet with him saying we'd name our firstborn after him if we lost. We won, but we loved it so much that we asked if we could do it anyway. And he said yes!</p> <p>We've moved away from those friends, but I'm so glad we got to strengthen our friendship by "borrowing" his family's name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-have-a-family-name#post-1653908 Thu, 22 May 2014 22:27:09 +0000 coopsmama 1653908@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes.

For future son(s) we think we will use my maiden name for a middle name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-have-a-family-name#post-1653893 Thu, 22 May 2014 22:16:57 +0000 MamaPhoenix 1653893@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes Every Female born in our heritage shares an older Females First name as their middle name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-have-a-family-name#post-1653890 Thu, 22 May 2014 22:15:05 +0000 Running Elley 1653890@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD's middle name (Jewell) was my grandma's name.
