[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it's great. [b] I felt strongly that any girls I had would have family names from my side of the family.[/b]  And actually, I would have held my DH to that if we'd had more than 1 boy too.  He only had any sort of naming "right" on the first boy.  After that, all my family.  Why?  I changed my last name and the kids have that last name, so I get the rest of the names.

How totally sexist.  [b]All family names came from my side since we all have his last name.[/b]  One of my sons has my mom's maiden name as his middle name.  The other has my dad's name as his middle.[/quote]

DP How is this sexist?  You are doing the exact same thing!  Except for the eldest boy..

Op:  To answer your question.  Using your first name as middle name is fine.  I have cousins named after the father and the mother as first names!

Sexist because the girls would have names from her family, but not the boys.[/quote]

I'm the first PP quoted.  I conceded on the first boy having my DH's name as a middle because he wanted it to be his FIRST name and I did not want that at all.  So I compromised with the middle.  If we'd had more than 2 children (we did not) he would have only had the oldest boy from his side.  We only had two, so it was split.  If we'd have two girls, I would have had both middle names.  Sure if I was re-doing things maybe I would have fought harder to have my DS' middle come from my side, but I was just happy to not have three living males with the same firstname lastname combo.[/quote]
