[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My American husband (age 51) doesn't have one and honestly it makes things - filling out forms, etc. - easier. His parents didn't like theirs so didn't give him one. [/quote]
OP here...makes sense but what if my son will not like his typical Italian name (we are Italians) and I should give him an American middle name as an option. Obviously I never went to school here but I heard bullying in schools is a real thing  :([/quote]

You can do whatever you want.

I know several immigrants (mostly Asian) who gave their children an American first name and a Chinese/Korean/etc middle name so they would be comfortable in both cultures. I’m South American and DH is European — we just picked names that worked in our native languages and English. I have a hard time imagining an Italian name that doesn’t have a close English counterpart. A boy named Vincenzo could easily decide to go by Vincent without needing an American middle name.

There’s no “wrong” answer here. Do what you like most. [/quote]

OP. here ..If it were only up to me I would name my son Jack :)))  but the son is the first born and it will break so many fragile old hearts to  give a son a name that is different from his grandpa's (traditions are strong in our families)

Sounds like Jack would be a great middle name, then! Or if you want to be formal, John is the name which traditionally led to the nickname Jack.[/quote]
