Baby Names

Middle Name Question

Found out we are having a little boy and have decided on the name Paxton as his first name. We are toying with doing something really fun for the middle name and love the idea of Danger as his middle name. Paxton Danger.

Middle names seem so insignificant to me (I don't even have mine on my license or any credit cards and never use it) so I thought we could do something a little more fun/off the wall/different. As for issues later in life with a job/resume, he can either choose not to use it or just use the middle initial.

I understand this may not be some of your styles and respect if some of you hate it but I'm just looking for some honest opinions on what you think.

Thanks!  

Re: Middle Name Question

  • Honest opinion: Please don't use Danger. Middle names are not insignificant.

  • I wouldn't do it, but for all intensive purposes most people wouldn't know his MN anyway.

  • If the MN isn't signifigant then just don't give him one.  They aren't required.  Because you never know, in the future he may be required to have it on his college transcript or passport application...it could happen.

     I agree.

  • MNs are used during the school years, on official government forms, and during background checks so future employers WILL see them.  I don't have a middle name and am constantly asked for mine.

  • please don't for your childs sake
  • No.  If a middle name is so insignificant to you, don't use one at all.  My grandfather did not have a middle name and lived a very successful life for nearly 90 years.

  • I definitely think middle names are a great place to play with risky choices you wouldn't use as first names, but Danger comes off as mom and dad trying too hard to be cool.
