maliksmommy replied: Malik's middle name is Gregory after my Dad:) We were originally going to name him Gregory Malik and still call him Malik but we thought that could be confusing when he gets older so we switched them around.

ediep replied: Jason's middle name is Michael. Michael is my dads name and we likes the way it flowed with Jason.

Shooter replied: Jeremy's middle name is David....I am a David, my dad's a David, my FIL is David...you get the picture. Also, both my mom and my MIL's first names start with J and my mom is a JD and Jeremy is a JD...it just fit all the way around. LOL

Plus, we were still tossing around names when he arrived 12 weeks early! ohmy.gif We had to decide on something quickly.

mummy2girls replied: jennas middle name is Lynn.... because aron wanted to name her after his sister because they were so close and still is. And i liked Lynn because my middle name is lynn plus it flows with jenna so nicely. Aron then told me his siters middle name is lynn also and my half sisters middle name also is lynn so we decided to use lynn. And his siters name is jennifer so jenna is pretty close to that. And i call jenna jen for short and she is called jen for short also...so everyone is happy.

I have a nephew with the same name! smile.gif course it was changed from steven to Jason but htat is another story.....

Kaitlin's middle name is Nicole. A long time ago when we talked about kids my husban said if it was a girl he liked the name Stormy Nicole, I liked it for a long time then I figured we would not have kids so I put it out of my mind. Well wheni was preggy we talked about names and I still liked Nicole but not so fond of Stormy anymore. Well every name we liked went well with Nicole so we had the middle name picked out first. wub.gif

Mommieto2Girls replied: Madison's middle name is Elizabeth, I chose that because my middle name is also Elizabeth and it went well with Madison. biggrin.gif

~CrazieMama~ replied: Brianna's middle name is Danielle. I picked this name because the nurse I had at the hospital while in labor is the one who delivered Brianna. The doctor was too slow in getting there. She mentioned the name Danielle for a first name (I didn't have a name or anything picked out yet) So I gave her that as a middle name. Brianna Danielle S. Nice combination... happy.gif My son Tyler's middle name is Tyler. His name is Robert Tyler K.
I like Tyler so much that I could not think of a good middle name that sounded good with it so, I named him after his father and game Tyler his middle name.

Schnoogly replied: Iain's middle name is Samwise, yep, we named him after a hobbit.

We picked it out right after we found out he was a boy--took a lot longer to pick his first name though! I liked the way it sounded as well as the fact that the character was so strong, kind, and loveable.

supermom replied: OK -

It's Paul Jeffrey (PJ) - and it's Junior, for his dad, who was in turn named for a uncle that died in WWII (he also has a cousin that has a son named Paul (but different middle names) so there were for a long time 4 (yes, four) Paul B's in town (confusing, huh??)

Leah Marie - Marie for my great Aunt, who, at almost 90 is still truly a hoot!! My kids nicknamed her Taint Ree -

Sara Jean - Jean for my mother - she was Betty Jean

Anders Jacob - Hmmmm......just because it sounded good together

And this poor new baby still doesn't have a middle name - I would love Grace after my Grandma, but my hubby doesn't like the initals then (EGG) Emily Grace......sounds good doesn't it?

mckayleesmom replied: Mckaylees middle name is Grace. I don't know why,,nomatter how much we changed her name while I was pregnant, Grace was always there....So it was Mckaylee Grace

mckayleesmom replied: Supermom,,,of course Im partial to Grace cause thats my babys middle name,,,but louise would sound pretty with Emily too,,,,just thought I would make a suggestion.

~CrazieMama~ replied: supermom- how abot Emily Paige, (EPG)

MomToMany replied: Here are mine:

Logan William, after X-FIL's and X-H's middle name
Quentin Theodore, after my dad's middle name
Ethan Andrew, after my grandfather's name
Hannah Rose, after my MIL and SIL's middle name

I always had the middle name picked out first, then went with a first name that sounded good with it.

razz05 replied: We have a

Laiken Rose (Rose is after Keith's grandmother Rosemary)

and a

Sawyer Quinn (Quinn was the ONLY middle name that we could think of that went WELL with Sawyer, and was also only a single syllable (long last name)).

Hillbilly Housewife replied: Zacharie doesn't have one. TOo much hassle and pressure!! biggrin.gif

paradisemommy replied: Taven Makamae - Makamae means precious in hawaiian which was the nickname that dh's late grandma had given dh. smile.gif

alice&arik replied:
arik 's middle name is Harley after my dad. His first name is after his dad, my dad died right before I got pregnant and his dad died when I was three months pregnant. I like the way it sounds anyway. sun.gif

alice&arik replied: oh his dad's name was spelled Eric and I always wanted an exotic name for a child. So that is what I came up with.

MomToJade&Jordan replied: Jade's middle name is Rose. We just thought it would sound pretty that way. wub.gif

¤Heather¤ replied:
How strange!!! My DH"s name is Jason Michael!! LOL it does sound very good together!!

Alison's middle name is Haillie. We were shopping for maternity clothes and DH was looking through a name book and he liked it, I liked it, so it stuck!!

mustangmomma1981 replied: Kaitlynn's middle name is Michelle. Rob's sister's middle name is Michelle so we thought it sounded pretty good with Kaitlynn.

Kirstenmumof3 replied: wub.gif My first DD is Emily Margaret and she is named after her great-grandmother and her great aunt (DH's side of the family), my DS's name is Spencer Kimball I just loved the name Kimball and of course my little peanut Claudia Jordan her middle name is after my brother! Also her initials are CJ, my DH picked her initials before we had her name because he wanted to name her after the character CJ Craig from the West Wing! He picked the intials and I picked the name! biggrin.gif

kit_kats_mom replied: Katherine's middle name is Taylor. I really liked that name but it was so popular and I didn't want it to be her first name (I was one of 7 Cary's (Cari, Carrie, Kari etc) in my HS so I didn't want her to have that happen.

MommyToAshley replied: Ashley Marie... we picked Marie after DH's grandmother. We actually agreed on the middle name, but couldn't agree on the first name. Her first name was almost Paige.

+Zemirah+ replied: Hey Beverly,

How's about Emily Rose? All the Rose names listed in this thread got me to thinking and it sounded pretty to me biggrin.gif
