[name_m]Hi[/name_m] all! We are officially pregnant with our 3rd! We have 2 girls: [name_f]Amelia[/name_f] [name_f]Kate[/name_f] (nn [name_f]Millie[/name_f]) and [name_f]Nora[/name_f] [name_f]Susana[/name_f]. Both girls’ middle names are very personal and special as they are after loved ones who passed away.
We are still unsure of the gender for our 3rd but are pretty set on [name_m]Miles[/name_m] for a boy and [name_f]Lucia[/name_f] nn [name_f]Lucy[/name_f] for a girl. My concern is is we have no ideas for middle names. We feel like the middle names should be special since our first 2 girls middle name are so personal to us. What do you guys think? I would like to use my husbands name as a boys middle name ([name_m]Joshua[/name_m]) but he’s against it. ”*”
Anyway, would it be weird if our 3rd didn’t have a super personal middle name?
Definitely not weird but it sounds like that is your preference. Maybe your maiden name or a dad or grandpa’s name? Berries are very good at clever honor names if you give them ideas…
What about your maiden name or grandfather’s name ? I don’t think honor names or special names are necessity what’s important is for you two to like the name of your child.
I personally think middle names should always be meaningful. Especially if siblings have meaningful names. If there are no other family names you want to use how about:
A character in your favorite book, movie, etc.
An artist, activist, etc you admire
The month, birthstone or season you and your husband met or got married
A significant place
A name with a definition that symbolizes your hopes for this child
