[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Doesn’t your baby have your FIL’s last name?  That’s enough.  Don’t get talked into even using the name as a middle name.  There are names I truly hate and  wouldn’t use as middle names.  [/quote]

+1. I hate the names Keith and Wayne.  I wouldn’t name a boy either no matter what!  [/quote]

I think that's sad and disrespective to the father and the father's family. It's a middle name. Who cares? My cousin used the middle name Herman for her son because it was a family name. That is kind of the point of middle names. [/quote]

Maybe you think that's the point of middle names, but others put a lot of thought into them and want them to be meaningful, nice-sounding, and fit with the first names. Not all of us see the middle name as just a dumping ground for ugly family names.

Example, my DH picked our son's middle name because he really wanted to use a family name. He chose Andrew, which is a great classic name and goes with our naming style. If he had insisted on something like Herman, I would have vetoed that so fast. Just like if I had picked something super dumb and trendy for the first name like Arrow or Wolf, he would have vetoed it. [/quote]
