Mom's name as middle name

But the gender aspect of it? No prob. If you’d be comfortable naming a child after dad in a similar fashion then I don’t see what the hangup is.

You do know that everyone who is born is going to die, right?

Both my son and daughter have one of the grandmothers maiden names as their middle names-not the same one. I love carrying on the maternal names. I will admit both surnames happen to be usable as a name, I doubt we would have done it with different maiden names.

We used my grandmother's first name as DD's middle because my grandma was such an awesome, cool lady. I was named for my grandma, so people generally think I used my name for my daughter's middle. I love telling my daughter where her middle came from as they never met.
