How do you feel about this?

After years and years of being related, I just found out that one set of my father's cousins all have their mother's first name as their middle name. So, four sisters share the same middle name- Margarita. The individual first names flow with Margarita and none of them go by a compound name, but still, it strikes me as a bit odd.

    When I was researching my dad's family tree, I saw this happen a couple times, and I thought it was odd as well. Of course the name was Marie, so it was also a common saint name given during baptism,and is basically the default middle name in the Cajun culture.

    My personal take - it seems very egotistical to name all your kids after you, even if it's a middle name.

    My sister and I have the same middle name and now my daughter has my middle name also.

    Our next child will have MH middle name also as their middle name. 

    It's a family name and it's a middle name.  It's not like they are George Forman and every kid in the family is some form of George as a first name.

    I know a lady who named her kids Chriss and Bliss (identical twins). Then she had another baby and gave the new baby "Bliss" as the MN. Weird.

    But to each their own.

    I have family that has done this. Their mother had a special devotion to Mary so she gave all her daughters the mn Marie (and of course, my mn is Marie too, so it drives me a little crazy that not only do I share a mn with half my generation but also with half my family lol). But I don't think it's totally weird.
