I'm just curious about everyone's opinion on this.

I absolutely adore my last name, but I don't want to keep it when I get married since I'm rather old-fashioned I guess. I still want to pass it down, though. It actually could be used as a first name, but it's not exactly my style for a first name. I'm just wondering, what do you think of passing the maiden name down as a middle name to a child? I don't mean hyphenating the two last names. It would just be the middle name. What's your opinion?

Oh thank you! I mean, I have quite some time before I need to worry about this stuff, but I was just curious. So thanks again. =)

Good, do it. I'll definitely use mine as a son's mn it if I have one.

I love it, especially if its not like "Butts" or something. My friend's middle name is his mother's maiden. Martel.

Actually, it IS Butts! No, I'm kidding.

Well I'm glad people don't hate this idea. My friend's middle name is her mother's maiden name, and she's not too fond of it. But I think it sounds nice ....

I have two middle names. One is a "real" name (for lack of a better description) and one is my mom's maiden name. I don't really use the latter much (on forms and stuff i just put my first middle name) but i definitely like having it, especially since i'm much closer to my mom and to her side of the family.

LOVE the idea. In fact, I plan on using my maiden name for a boys middle name (it is more masculine sounding). My sister's middle name is my mother's maiden name, which is Bliss. Her name is so pretty I'm jealous! ha ha. I would definitey recommend passing it down!

I think it's a very nice idea. I wish my maiden name sounded remotely close to a first/middle name, but alas, it does not.

My best friend when I was a kid had her Mom's maiden name as her middle name... and my husband's Dad's middle name is also his Mom's maiden name. I think it's an awesome idea!

Wonderful idea :)

I've contemplated using Delaney as a middle since it was my great-grandmother's maiden name. And I just like to show off my Irish-ness. :)

i think it's a good idea. my grandma's maiden name is laurie, and they gave that to my mom as her first name. i think it's a neat idea to use last names as first/middle names.

I think it's a cool idea.

My brother's middle name is my mother's maiden name.

I think it's great =) My cousin has his mother's maiden name as his middle name [Bryan Perry McCracken] and I think his sounds really nice. I think it's a wonderful idea especially if you have a name that you think fits!
