| Caitlin is Caitlin Emma Lauren. Emma is after my cousin, and Lauren is after Stuarts sister.
For this baby im trying to think of family names too, & if its a boy will use George- FILs name and Maxwell -my granda's middle name. For a girl Im using Jean - my late grannys name.... and then im stuck as no other name on Stuarts side is nice. May end up using Georgia (female of George).
Im trying to go for 2 middle names again just because Caitlin has 2. I like middle names to come from somewhere and also if possible have one from each side of family.
How did you pick your childrens middle names? |

| Chloe has the same middle name as mine 'Grace' it was my nan's name (on my mum's side) and she died the year before I was born, so I quite like to pass it down, I think if I have another girl I'd do the same again. If there wasn't anyone I'd want to name them after, I'd probably just go with a middle name that I liked x |

| Ours are random... Aimee May (because we liked the sound of it) Lily Kate - because we had no middle name so we googled it x |

| My middle name is Kirsty Anne, Kirsty because my mum liked it and Anne was my great grans name. both my sister have Anne too and then one other name that my mum liked. Tylers middle name is Jay because it sounds nice with Tyler and when he's older he can be TJ or T Jay haha. However my Nan died the day after I conceived this little one and I want her name to be incorporated somehow... Its audrey though :/ |

| Well Stuart has just said he isnt fussed on Georgia or any name in his family so would like to just pick a name. He likes Holly because its Christmassy. So think we will prob go with that as it has some relevance I guess!

| elijah's middle name is thomas - we both love the name thomas but wanted something unusual, we also thought it would be nice for elijah if he wanted a more 'normal' name to use when he is bigger he could call himself thomas |

| Stephen has always been my favourite boys name and his middle name is George after my dad. However because I'm a huge Liverpool fan and my favourite player is Steven Gerrard, everyone thinks he's named after him because he's Steven George too |

| Imogen's middle name Lorelai is just a name we liked. I thought about using a name from family and I would have loved to have named her after my Nanna but my mum always goes on about how I love my Dad's parents more than hers so I didn't want to cause a problem. I kind of wish I had used the name now, as I know my Nanna would have loved it but I do love the names Imogen Lorelai.
For this little boy we're thinking middle name Matthew. Matt wanted to used Ronald, his Grandad's name (it's also my Grandad's name) but I didn't want to. Then suggested his Dad's name but again I said no, it's Leslie, I don't want to give my kid that name. I don't feel like my Dad deserves to have a child named after him so that was out. I wasn't particularly bothered about family name or not, although i do think the sentiment is nice. Decided on Matthew cause i like the name anyway and it'll be nice for little one to be named after his Dad.
I think if Imogen had two middle names I would give the next one two as well. I like Georgia too. It's a nice name and it's also got the family connection. |

| Not so sure about Georgina. I really want to use Jean and dont think jean Georgina sounds right (though I get that george and jean mixed make Georgina). I like Audrey too, iv a great aunt called audrey. My mum I know secretly wants her name used - but its Pauline! I just couldnt do that on the child! Its so hard not to offend someone |

| hahaha it gets a bit tricky haha my mums name is stella, i suppose i would use that if she wanted but i don't think she would ever say so. i reckon just use names you like and if they happen to cheer someone up by being the same as theirs, all the better |

| Snoops, I think I could happily fit jean or gene in but I couldn't do Pauline (although it's a lovely name for a mother) |

| I dont even think it is a lovely name for a mother lol! Even my mum hates it and says it makes people think of grumpy bake Pauline Fowler from Eastenders. My mum is 50 and thinks the names too old for her as most Paulines are 60+. God knows why then she would inflict it on a child. I guess middle names are a bit dif though.
Atm are names are Ruby Jean Holly Gray & Reece George Maxwell Gray.
Im sure they will change another 10x before Christmas!!! |
