My middle name is [name_u]Lee[/name_u]! It’s my dad’s middle name. I like it but I wish it was more interesting and feminine.

[name_f]My[/name_f] middle name is [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f], I like it and my mum hasn’t confirmed it but I think I am named after [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] [name_u]Taylor[/name_u] as my surname is [name_u]Taylor[/name_u] and my mum loves [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] [name_u]Taylor[/name_u] :woman_shrugging:t2: I actually love my whole name to be honest, I hope that doesn’t sound like I’m full of myself or something

Mine is [name_f]Catherine[/name_f], I’m named after my mom’s older sister [name_f]Cathy[/name_f] who died in a car accident when they were teenagers, and she was named after their grandma [name_f]Cate[/name_f].

I think it’s a beautiful name and I like that it’s been passed down through multiple generations of women in our family. Both the previous Catherines in my family were smart, kind, and capable women who didn’t get to achieve everything they should have due to tragic circumstances (my great-grandmother struggled a lot as a young widowed single mom and my aunt’s life ended before it had really started). So I feel like they’d be proud of everything I’m achieving in my life while carrying on their name.

I like that I have this hidden link with past generations while also having a first name that’s all my own.

[name_f]My[/name_f] middle name is [name_f]Magnolia[/name_f], and I like it enough that I go by it (well, [name_f]Maggie[/name_f]) both online and in real life! :sweat_smile: I really just don’t like my first name though, but I guess my middle name is good

My name is [name_u]Angel[/name_u] [name_f]Fleur[/name_f]. I like it but I have always felt like my name sticks out compared to my sisters with more traditional names, to name a few of my sisters, [name_u]Maria[/name_u] [name_f]Elidi[/name_f] [name_f]Danielle[/name_f], [name_f]Tabitha[/name_f] [name_f]Frances[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] and [name_f]Elisabeth[/name_f] [name_f]Margaux[/name_f], I felt like my name was really short compared to my sisters and I was the only sibling not to have a nickname. I think as I grew to my teens and adulthood, the more I liked my name and grew to appreciate it

Mine is also [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f]. I think it is a pretty name and I used to like it more than my first name. I always want to say it is after [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] Swann even thought I’m older than the movie and it’s actually after a family friend. Now that I’m older, I really don’t like how common it is. When people talk about common girls middle names [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] is always close to the top. I’m used to having an uncommon first name and I would prefer to have an uncommon middle as well.

Mine is [name_u]Lee[/name_u]. It was my Papa’s middle name, and I love it because it is one of the few connections I have left of him.

Mine starts with an R, is one syllable, very [name_m]German[/name_m], and very rare so I’m not going to share it. It is my moms maiden name. She only has a sister so her last name naturally wouldn’t have been passed down, so she gave me and my brother is as our middles (he has two middles and I have two firsts, so we both have four names). I really like it bc it has a lot of meaning and connect me to her side of the family. I used to get teased for it though bc it rhymes with a really bad swear word.

My middle name is [name_f]Anise[/name_f] (uh-NEES). It’s fine, but I’m not crazy about it.

Mine is Sanjana. It was the name that my mother had chosen for a baby since she was in the fifth grade, but my father shot her down. I intend to use it on a child to honor her.

I have not a middle name, but a patronymic - Aleksandrovna. [name_u]Love[/name_u] it because it sounds good with my name, it’s easy to spell and to say (well, in Russian).
