home-to-me.livejournal.comDo you all think it would be too much to give a kid two middle names? They would both be names to honor deceased family members, and I realize the kid would never really use the second middle name in normal every day life. Superfluous to give two? Or a nice tribute to family members?
The names I am stuck on right now are:
Seth Gregory Thomas for a boy.
(Seth because the boyfriend and I were watching the History Channel one day, and heard the name Seth on some Bible show and looked at each other at the same time and said "Love that!" Gregory is my dad and oldest brother's middle name, and what my dad went by until he was a young adult - he never knew his real name was William until he was 18, I think it was. He now goes by Bill, but was a Greg as a kid. And Thomas after two of my uncles who passed away - one biological uncle and one super-close-family-friend uncle).
And for a girl, Alice Margaret Julia
(I don't think the order really rings right though. Would consider swapping Julia and Margaret, but Alice is my favorite as the first name. Alice for my great-aunt who passed away. And, truth be told, I am also a big fan of Alice in Wonderland. My first baby doll was called Annie Alice, after my two favorite movies as a little kid. Margaret is my first name, but was also my mom's first name. I wouldn't pass it on if it was just mine, but want to pass it on in my mom's memory. And Julia for my decease aunt, who actually went by Judy, which I don't understand, because Julia is SO much prettier, IMO).
If I had twin girls (my dream, lol), I would use Alice Faye (Faye was my g-gmother's maiden name, and I always thought it would make an awesome middle name for a girl) and Julia Margaret.
Other boy names I like are: Joseph and William (but wouldn't use it if I had a son with the current boyfriend, because he has a son named William. His son is much older - older than me in fact - so it wouldn't be like we had two kids living with us with the same name, but still. It would be weird).
There are a TON of girl names I like. An absolute TON. Would consider Ruth as a middle name (middle name of both my paternal and maternal grandmothers, first name of my paternal step-grandmother, and first name of my aunt) and Lillian (first name of my paternal grandmother. Was ALWAYS my top pick for a girl. Until my brother and sis-in-law named their first daughter Lilliana. I'd still consider Lillian for a middle name - especially now because it was also my boyfriend's mother's name. But my sis-in-law is super greedy about her names, and has gotten livid when her sisters/brothers have used names even remotely similar to her girls' names. I shouldn't care, especially because the girls wouldn't grow up close enough for there to be confusion. But I really don't want to hear her mouth, lol).
