Would you use the feminine & masculine form of a name in the middle for siblings?

My top choice for a boy is [name]Avery[/name] [name]Daniel[/name] [name]Alexander[/name]. My second girls choice is [name]Sophia[/name] [name]Alexandra[/name] [name]Kate[/name]. Would you use these names for a son and daughter? To me, it doesn’t seem a big deal and I love both names/combos so I would have a hard time giving up either. Would this be a deal breaker for you? Thanks for any opinions!

p.s. I will add Alexander was chosen for its meaning, it is honoring to my husbands grandpa. Alexandra I chose simply because I’ve always liked it and I love the flow of it with Sophia, so I guess if I had to get rid of one it might be Alexandra because it isn’t honoring. But I just adore that combo of Sophia Alexandra!

I don’t think it’s an issue, especially with two middle names.

I agree… I actually think it’s kind of cute/cool that boy/girl siblings would have different forms of a name.

I wouldn’t do it, but it clashes with my own superstitions. :slight_smile:

I don’t see anything jarringly wrong as far as managing it in the real world. It’s just not for me.

I wouldn’t do it…

If you love those names, there is nothing wrong with using both! In most cases mn’s are not used except for documented issues anyway. [name]Alexander[/name] and [name]Alexandra[/name] are great names, I’d use both!

I would not do it for the simple reason being if I were to have another child, he or she would be left out of the club. Or would have to join in, and then I think it would just be weird and obnoxious to recycle the name that many times.

I also much prefer all of your other girls’ choices in your signature to [name]Sophia[/name]. It looks like you’ve been around her quite a while so I’m sure you’re well-aware that [name]Sophia[/name] is the #1 most popular name in [name]America[/name]. Your other choices are much more distinctive, [name]IMO[/name].

If it were fn’s I’d say no, but since it’s mn’s I don’t think it’s a big deal. Especially with 2 mn’s. And I think it’s a cute idea for a connection for them. :wink:

I don’t think it’s big deal at all in the middle names. If you really love both, go for it!

Personally I wouldn’t do it, but not because I think it’s bad, I just want to use different names for each child.
