Is it ok to use a siblings middle name as first name for next baby?
I don’t think so. The child’s middle name is a part of their identity, and it shouldn’t be something they have to share with their sibling, especially when siblings already have to share so many things growing up.

It’s not ideal, but it’s also not the end of the world.
It’s not something I would do. I’d find it a bit strange outside of certain circumstances (sibling passed away, etc.).

I really don’t think so.
I definitely wouldn’t. The only time I can get behind reusing a name is in the case of giving all the kids the same important family name for their middles, like how my friend and her sister both have their mom’s maiden name for a middle but still get their own unique first names.

If you feel okay with it - it would bother me a little since I like so many names and like everyone to have their own one, but it could form a sweet connection between them and it’s something I’ve seen done before
Like, your sibling’s middle name? Yes, it would be a sweet way to honour them. If you mean giving a baby the same name as their sibling, no. They’re individuals.
