Is it okay to give same middle name to second child?

[Anonymous]

I did not take my husband's last name. Our first child has my last name as their middle name and I am wondering if it is weird to do the same with our second child. I like having my last name as the middle name, because if anyone ever questions their connection to me you can see the relation in their name. Thoughts? Also, don't want the second child to feel left out for not receiving the name.

Of course it is. In my opinion, if you are going to give your child a middle name, give your last name. I also didn't take my husband's last name so I will give my children my family's last name as middle name. better than a random trendy middle name from nowhere.

My ex-husband's male siblings all share the same middle name.

My two nieces share the same middle name. It is the same middle name as my SIL, their mother.

I plan to give all of my children my maiden name as their middle name. It is what everyone on my mother's side has done for generations.

Yes. All our kids have the same two middle names (cultural tradition from husband's home country). Not a big deal, and even nicer when it means something special to you.

Perfectly fine.

I think that is the perfect situation in which to do it.

My maiden name and married name do not sound good together. There are only two letters different in the 6 letter names. I definitely would have changed it to my middle name or given it to all my kids if it didn't sound so horrible together.

I think it's completely fine to do. My mom gave me the same middle name that she had.

My oldest sister and I both have Ann as our middle names. The running joke is that my parents had so many children they ran out of names. I was the 4th of 5.
If we used my mother's maiden name, and all my siblings shared it, I don't think it would be a big deal at all.

Yes, my dad's full name (first, middle and last) is a part of me and my siblings' names in our family except for oldest who just has his middle and last name.

My cousin and her husband gave her maiden name to all four children as their middle names.

My son has my husband's first name as his middle name, and any other of our children will as well. It's a South Asian tradition.
