LO's first name is not a family name but her middle name is the female version of my grandfather's name.
Does your LO have a family name?
-
His middle name is my dad's middle name.
-
Her middle name is my mom and MIL's middle name. We lucked out in the fact that they both have the same middle name - easy to honour both!
-
LO's middle name comes from DH's great grandmother. I wish she could've lived to meet LO, what a great lady!
-
DD1 is named for my maternal grandmother and my sister
DD2 is a name we liked and DHs paternal grandmother -
DD's middle name is my maternal grandmother's middle name and a nickname of DH's maternal grandmother's name.
-
First name, no (although a bunch of people have asked, since it's old fashioned-ish). Middle name, kind of-- my middle name is Mary, my mom is Mary, both grandmothers and MIL are forms of Mary, so I wanted a form of Mary for C. My grandma's friends call her Mae and C was due right before her 90th birthday, so it was extra fitting.
-
Her middle name encompasses my mom, great-grandmothers and grandmother - they all have a version of her name.
-
His middle name is my maiden name.
-
Her middle name is DH's great grandmother's name. Although I suggested it without knowing that, it just sort of worked out.
-
@Foodnerd81: When I called to make M's ENT appt yesterday the receptionist said be sure to give her middle initial when we check in at the appt because there is another patient with her exact name but she's 80 years old! Lol!
-
Yes. R has my middle name which was also my daddy's name as her middle name. S is a III so he is clearly named after DH and FIL. All future children will have a family name either as first or middle.
-
Nope
-
Her first name is my great grandmas name and her middle name was the name my mom was given at birth (she changed it later because no one called her by that name) and it has special significance for my grandma.
-
His first middle name is his fathers and grandfathers name, and his second middle name is my maiden name.
-
Yes.
His name is Evan Charles.
D and my FIL both have the middle name Evans, and it was D's paternal grandmother's maiden name. In fact, had we had a girl, it's very possible she would have been named Grace Evans McK, which was his grandmother's name. And Charles is my MIL's maiden name (we also considered D's maternal grandfather's first name for a middle, but I didn't think that Evan Howard has the same flow as Evan Charles...)
-
Her first name is just a name we like but her middle name is my paternal grandmother's name.
-
His middle name is my maiden name.
-
Yep - both girls' middle names are their grandmothers.
-
Yeah. Her first name is from waaaaaay back in my family. Her middle is DHs grandmas name.
-
D has his dad's middle name. M's middle name is my dad's first name and DH's grandfathers name. I got M's first name off my family tree...my grandfather's grandfather.
-
His middle name is my dad's middle name and the name he goes by.
-
Our boys middle names are family names.
-
With N nope. E's middle name is DH's Moms maiden name. She is pasted on now. We thought it a nice gesture.
-
Both kids have their grandmas' maiden names for their middle names.
-
Same as you! First names are not, but middle names are.
-
my sons name is my grandfather's name - the man i respect most in the world! He passed away 15 years ago and i've hoped since then that i would someday have a boy to name after him
-
My DDs name is the female spelling of my late father's name (and also my middle name).
-
DS has the same middle name as DH. DD has the same middle name as me and my mom
-
Yes.. his first name is DHs paternal grandfather and his middle name is my paternal Grandma's middle name (which was her moms maiden name!).
If next LO is a girl she will have my maiden has first and DHs maternal grandma's middle as her middle! I
fam names.
-
DS' name is also the name of my paternal grandfather. We giggle that he looks like my Grandpa too
-
No, but this next one probably will.
-
DD's middle name (Jewell) was my grandma's name. It's my mom's first name legally as well but she goes by her middle.
DS' middle name is my husband's name.
-
Yes Every Female born in our heritage shares an older Females First name as their middle name.
-
Yes, Q was the fifth, so that was obviously a family name. For future son(s) we think we will use my maiden name for a middle name.
-
Yes. DS has two middle names - Matthew and James - which are his grandpa's names.
-
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!
We've moved away from those friends, but I'm so glad we got to strengthen our friendship by "borrowing" his family's name.
-
Yep. 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.
-
Middle name is my MIL's name.
-
Yes, middle names for both kids.
