Poll: what are your kids' middle names?

sooosie

I am always curious to see if people get a little more liberal/unusual with the middle names since they aren't used all that often.

Mine are:

Ian Clark (family surname)

Max Stefan (after my sis Stefanie who passed away at age 6)

 

Yours?

Matthew William (DH's middle name)

Sean Patrick (conceived on St. Patty's day weekend)

DandelionMom

Eireann, Stella, Frances (all family names)

Marce921

Kaden William (DH's and FIL's middle name)

Dawson Michael (DH's first name - it's also my bio dad's name, but definitely NOT why we named him that)

Dana Gabrielle

Her first name is unisex and short, so I felt like we needed a longer, girly middle name. To be honest, I don't really like her MN anymore. I wish I'd used a family name, Rae/Ramona, but I didn't like how it flowed.

KoriBrett

Samantha Rose (our compromise m/n)

Bryan Douglas (FIL's name. ?Means "from the dark waters" which I just think is badass)

Cameron Joelle -- I wanted a C first name and J middle name.  1. because I love the nn CJ for a girl.  2.  b/c my SIL's maiden name initials are CJY (and now those are Cam's) and 3. Joelle is a hybrid of my name (Jodi) and the end of my sisters' names (Michelle and Nicolle).
