It's my middle name, along with many other women in my family. Toying with the idea of passing it down. I always hated it as a kid, but have learned to love it in my adulthood. Thoughts?

It's on my list as a mn for a future daughter, after my grandmother Emma Louise. She did not like Emma and preferred Louise.
Ironically, bith my grandmothers went by their middle names so my two mns are Grace and Louise. Easy. Done.
We used it for DD's mn (see siggy). It's a big first and middle name all over DH's side, so we wanted to continue the tradition.
FWIW, I think middle names should be used to honor someone or follow tradition rather than just sound pretty (ie, it should be meaningful, not random).
