  1. I have one nephew and 3 nieces and ALL of them have my SIL's maiden name.. I don't like it... They should have different middle names.


  2. I think that if it's a family name, it's ok.

    Otherwise, it's better to choose different names.

    But I have a friend which her religion in her middle name, and her brother has it too.  

  3. I wouldn't do it. I think there are so many names out there, it seems a shame to use one twice! Either name is a good choice, but I prefer Lily Margaret. Why not honor a close friend or family member for your other daughter's middle name?  

  4. No, it's not something I'd do, but it's definitely not unheard of.  

  5. I would never give my children the same middle name. Every child is their own person. They may share the same blood, but still every sibling is very different. Giving them the same middle names would take away from their independence. Instead, I would give the children the same initials or have their names be after people in the family.

  6. I think it's fun to find names that are unique to each child.  One less thing they have to share.  I wouldn't want to have the same middle name as my sister...I guess it wouldn't be as special.

  7. Yes it is.  What are you going to yell when they're really in trouble?  If you yell their middle name, both of them will come running.

    I know two families whose kids ALL have the same middle name.  Retarded.  Everyone deserves their own first and middle name.


  8. No thats ok

    The middle name is not used generally

    So if this is what you want to do then do it

    xx

  9. well, do you ever call the first one by the middle name?  if you don't then i don't see a big deal.  

  10. No that is not at all stupid...I am muslim and according to islam all children must be names after their father... my husbands name is Kovan...so al of our sons will have the middle name Kovan and our daughters will have the middle name Kovana.

  11. do you think its stupid? dont care what other people think. My best friend and her two other sisters all share the same middle name. My husband and his two brothers have the same initials. For me, I cant do either. A name defines who you are and if you share a name with your sibling I believe it cuts down on a persons individuality. but like i said its your opinion and your opinion is what matters the most.  

  12. I wouldn't personally do it but I know two sisters named Sage Elizabeth and Elizabeth Sage.

    Sage was 3 when her sister was born and her mother let sage name the new baby. Of course she wanted to name her Sage Elizabeth after herself but the mom convinced her to switch it around.

    I think it's kinda cute. They are both outta h/s now and don't really like it though.

  13. No. I don't think it is.

  14. I think it's wonderful if it's a family thing!  

  15. It's not stupid at all, it's cute

  16. No -- but only because I'm not keen on middle names at all. You can name your daughters whatever you want. It's not unheard of for parents to give their kids the same middle name.

  17. No but two of my nephews have the same middle names. They are brothers. Their names are Kaden Blade and Antonius "Tony" Blade.  

  18. I think that it is kinda weird. No offense or anything.

    Maybe you could use names that sound similar but aren't the same. Your daughters should be independent and have different middle names. They are there own person and have their own personalities and I think they should have their own middle names.

    Hope I helped! :-)

  19. no my niece did the same thing and it is also her middle name too.

  20. I would give my daughter my middle name but I wouldn't give them the same middle name.

  21. no its not stupid, me and my sister have the same middle name.

  22. Yes, that's stupid and uncreative.  Give your children names that show you put a lot of thought into them and that you love them.

  23. I'd REALLY prefer not to.  It makes the children more unique having there own middle name.  

    I'll name one daughter Miriam Elisabeth, and one Sarah Helen.  I was considering Sarah Elizabeth (after me), but because of M.E..... I won't

    If you truly can't think of good middle names for the first names you've chosen, you could use different spelling (i.e. Elisabeth, Elizabeth; Lee, Leigh, etc)

  24. No!  I think its cool.  I know someone who has 4 girls, and they all have a middle name of Mary.

  25. no its nice my middle is a family name

  26. I have 2 girls and a boy and they all have Ray in their middle names. My son's is Raymond, my middle child's is Rayne, and my youngest daughter's is Ray. Raymond was my dad's name and he passed away when I was pregnant with my son. Then I met my husband and it just so happens that his dad's name was Raymond too, and he passed away when my husband was in grade school. If we have more kids I don't know what we are going to do.  

  27. Kids usually want to feel unique.

    So  I  would say not too.

    I have cousins which both have the same name which is Louise they are fine with it now but when they were younger they werent to keen and because they had the same letter in there first name it made their initials the same which they hatted! You might think its quite cute when  there little but when they get older they might be moaning about it! there again it might not even bother them! what about similar names like if your daughters middle name is Emma why not have Emily for your other daughters middle name?
