We are stuck! [name]Both[/name] of us have lists for babe’s name but can’t agree on anything. We had decided on [name]Grace[/name] as a middle name but for many reasons I have changed my mind.
It popped into my head yesterday to use [name]Spencer[/name] as a middle name. [name]Spencer[/name] was my grandfather who was the MOST wonderful man in the world and I miss him more than anything. He never got to meet our oldest, I would have given the world for that. If we were having a boy it would be no doubt his name.
So what do you think?
[name]Adelyn[/name] [name]Cate[/name] is big sister (her middle name is a family name as well) and if you were choosing what would be your picks with [name]Spencer[/name] as a mn for this little girl?
I had a family surname (which is also a common boy’s name) as my middle and it never bothered me. I liked the family connection. However, most of my family and many of my friends also had middle names that were family surnames. I say go for it but be sure to use a clearly feminine first name - examples:
My first name is a family surname and that has always had great meaning to me. I think [name]Spencer[/name] would make a sleek choice in the mn spot. For the sake of flow I tend to like 3 or 4 syllable names without accents on S or N sounds. Here are some ideas:
If you wanted to honor a family member named [name]Mary[/name] and were having a son, would you name him [name]Spencer[/name] [name]Mary[/name]? I’m guessing not. [name]Spencer[/name] is a boy’s name. Use it for a boy. [name]Don[/name]'t waste it on a middle for the wrong gender.
I love [name]Grace[/name] [name]Spencer[/name] as well!
