A while back I gathered info about the names that will most likely be used for our future kids... now I'm doing middle names!!
 

Please indicate for each:
- sex as (m) or (f)
- family/honoring name (hn), inspiring person such as an author, political figure, musician, etc (ip), other reason - please identify, or no reason (nr)

1. What is your middle name?
2. Do you like your middle name?
3. What are your siblings middle names?
4. What are three names you are likely to use as middle names for your own children (please limit to three children of each sex)?
5. How many middle names do you intend to use?
6. Do you intend to call your child by their middle name or a nickname from their middle name?

So my answers would look like this...
1. Maree - f, hn
2. Yes
3. Kenneth - m, hn
Francis - m, hn
4. Maree - f, hn
Claire - f, nr
Elizabeth - f, nr
Daniel James - m, hn & m, hn
Kenneth - m, hn
Alexander, m, nr
5. Two middle names for first child of each sex, one name for following children
6. No

[nothingtolose19.livejournal.com]

1) Sarah - f, hn (my maternal grandmother)
2) Yes
3) Florence - f, hn (my aunt's middle name)
4) Oh, goodness, I have no idea. I know for sure that if I have a boy, I want to name him Benjamin James, so yeah, James is a likely candidate for a mn. Or, Daniel, after my cousin who drowned a few years back. As for girls, it will probably end up being a name that I really love, but I don't have enough girls to use it on. Or I might dig into my family tree a little, find names (for either gender) from there. So, yeah :P
5) Just one, more than likely.
6) Nope. I will call him or her by their name. Unless the initials happen to form a cute nn, like AJ, for example. Even then, it probably wouldn't be a nn used all the time, just sometimes.

[nothingtolose19.livejournal.com]

Oops! Forgot the whole initial thing for number 4. Well, I'm sure you got this anyway, but for the ones I listed:

James - m, nr (just like the sound)
Daniel - m, hn (my cousin)

[makeitstopjamie.livejournal.com]

Melinda "Mindy", f, nr (my aunt Wendy died a few months before I was born, so my nn I think kinda comes from her)
1. Sue
2. Yes, it's plain, but goes well with may name and it's cute.
3. (Rebecca) Ann, (Zachary) Anthony
4. First boy will be Lee (traditional middle name for the first boy on my husband's side and it's also my dad's middle name). For girls we like Ann (husband's grandmother) and Rose (my grandmother).
5. One
6. Probably not, but it kinda depends on the first name.

[sageharper.livejournal.com]

1. What is your middle name?
Clair - f, hn
2. Do you like your middle name?
Very much. The nane itself, and there's such good meaning behind it.
I wasn't crazy about when I was younger, the spelling was problematic; but actually now I like that. Claire/Clare is generally well liked, but Clair is obscure enough that people don't have negative connotations of it.
3. What are your siblings middle names?
Thomas - m, ip/other (I suggested it, inspired by my favourite tv show. But ultimatly my parents agreed so they must have just liked it)
4. What are three names you are likely to use as middle names for your own children (please limit to three children of each sex)?
Male; Richard, Jude, Edward (hn, other [the song], hn)
Female; Lily, Jane, Caroline (all are to honour people)
5. How many middle names do you intend to use?
One per child (or one mn, and then my last name as a second mn)
6. Do you intend to call your child by their middle name or a nickname from their middle name?
Not really; maybe a nn that involved their mn somehow, but not outright.
And I'd leave the option open in case they decided for themselves to go by their mn instead.

Adrian - m, hn

5. How many middle names do you intend to use? One.

6. Do you intend to call your child by their middle name or a nickname from their middle name? I kinda fancy the going-by-the-middle-name thing.

1. Amelie (f, ip)
2. I love it, that's why I chose it! (parents didn't give me a middle name at birth)
3. brother's initial is P.. mine used to be A until I got a middle name
I don't intend to have kids, I just like names so I lurk here. However if I do have kids, they will have two middle names each, the first middle name will be theirs, the second middle name will be my maiden name. They will go by their first name or a nickname from that first name.

3. Alexander, male, hn
4. Jane, no others picked out yet

4. What are three names you are likely to use as middle names for your own children (please limit to three children of each sex)? Lynn (m)- hn, father and grandfather's middle.

[intothefireugo.livejournal.com]

2. It's ok, but I'm probably dropping it in favor of my maiden name when I legally take my husband's name... so I'm not overly attached or anything.
3. Joseph - m, hn; Adele - f, hn
4. We aren't planning middle names, but if we do it will be my husband's first name with an -ovich (m) or -ova (f) added at the end, which is the Russian custom for middle names (yes, he's Russian). Both would, of course, be honor names.
5. Just the one mentioned above, IF we do at all.
