Same Middles names

What are your thoughts about all of your children (the same sex) having the same middle name?

Why not? It is more common than one might think.

Because there are tons of names out there, why would you name your kids the same middle name?

It reminds me of that Dr. Seuss story "Too many Daves"

I don't really see it that way, considering their first names are completely different. I've known lots of people who have done it, and I found it weird at first, but now I think it is kind of sweet to share a middle name.

Thanks for the feedback, though.

IMO it's a little strange. You already share a last name? IDK.

You're welcome?

Oh, not being snarky or anything, you were the only person who had commented at the time & I tend to thank everyone who replies :)

Oh! Okay! Good, I wasn't being snarky either, I'm not used to someone thanking me...x.X I'm not good at internet today.

Yeah, I guess I see that, already sharing the last name. The more I think about it, the more my "aww, its kind of sweet!" goes away. Then again, I don't think these people think about their names and others names to the extent I do or most of this community does, so it is probably not a big deal to them. :)

I just wanted to throw this out: just because there are so many names, doesn't mean people like a whole lot of them, especially once you get two people trying to agree on a name and it get more limiting if the two people have different styles.

I know I'll be hard pressed if I ever need to name a boy because I'm extremely apathetic to most boy names.

You said what I was thinking, too. I didn't know how to say it well. My husband & I discuss baby names a lot, and he dislikes -son names, and names that sound "English-y or Scottish-y" (Henry, Duncan, etc, etc), so it is hard for us to agree on anything (especially boy names), because I LOVE those types of names.
