I really like both, but I’ve always been fond of [name_f]Sophie[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] [name_f]Magnolia[/name_f] and [name_m]Henry[/name_m] [name_m]Oliver[/name_m] [name_m]Birch[/name_m], and I love seeing two middles.

Thank you, everyone.

It’s hard because I am asking people that are not close family to choose what they like best. People that are not close family (or close friends) can only view these combos as names. They might view some as fabulous names, but still names. Close family know the people and stories behind the names. They know why specific loved ones have been honored together in the same combo.

I feel comfortable with single middle names because all but my brother’s children, wife, and her family have/had single middle names. But the single middle name combos, while they do honor, do not honor the same way the double middle name combos do. They are very special.

I guess I answered my own question. :slight_smile: I am familiar with single middle name combos but my specific double middle name combos speak to me more, are way more meaningful.

That’s most likely why I keep going back to the same combos. (facepalm) :slight_smile: haha
