No.

All of our children's middle names are family names.

Yes, exact names as middle names - DS on DH's side and DD on my side

Yep.

Evan Charles: Evans is D's middle name, his dad's middle name, and was his paternal grandmother's maiden name. If it wasn't his first name it would have been his middle. And Charles is my MIL's maiden name.

Grace Eleanor: Grace was D's paternal grandmother's name, as well as his great-aunt's. She was the petite lion in the family, and when we found out we were having a girl it was non-negotiable. Eleanor was chosen because I wanted the initials GEM, and it won over Eloise because we wanted to pay homage to Eleanor Roosevelt, but I found out after the fact that my great-grandmother was Katherine Eleanor.

Their middle names are family names.

Ds has two family names. First is my husbands grandpas name. Middle is my grandmas middle name (which was her moms maiden name)

This baby will have a family middle. Probably my moms name or my sisters name. I only like family middles!

Yes, LO has 2 middle names which are both our mother's first names. Had LO been a boy, his middle names would have been both our dad's names.

DS is named after his dad and grandfather. DD's middle name is after my great grandmother.

DS, yes, but it was completely a coincidence (I picked the names before I knew family members had them).

DD, no.

Sort of and yes. 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.

We did not choose a family name. But we found out after he was named that the middle name we chose was my grandma's grandpa's name. It's a classic name so that's not shocking.

DD1's first and middle name are family names. DD2's middle name is a family name.

No, I didn't want to honor any one particular family member. 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.

L's middle name is the same as mine/my mom's/my grandmother's/my great grandmother's (basically the first born female in each family)

K has two middle names: 1st is BIL's middle name, 2nd is my sister's middle name

Baby #3 will either have DH's middle name or MIL's middle name

My daughter's middle name is my grandmother's name, and my son's middle name is my brother and my grandfather's name.

D's middle name is my dad's first name. A's middle name is my MIL's middle name.

Middle names are family names.

Yes - LO's first name is a variation of my mother's name, and her middle name is DH's mother's name. I love the connection!

If we would have had a boy, I would have strongly advocated for my maiden name (which I still use professionally) to be his middle name.

LO1 has a family name for first and middle. LO2 has a family name for her middle.
