Middle names

What's your child's middle name?
Does it have special meaning? a family name? A compromise?

Re: Middle names
DD's is Kaylin ...a smoosh of our mothers middle names, Kay and Lynn
DS's is Bentley. A more modern version of DH's name. Benny Lee.
LO's is Mason. We didn't have a middle name picked out ahead of time, and him coming almost a month early didn't help. We were laying in my hospital bed, looking through names on our phones and it just clicked for both of us.
If we ever have a girl, I have NO idea what her middle name will be...
Elise - We just liked it, no special meaning.
After we had her and announced her name, I found out that my grandma's aunt was named Elise and had passed a way only a year or two before...so she was my great-great aunt? Obviously I did not know her. I believe she was around 105 years old when she died, so I like to take it as a good omen.
Grace.
No special meaning really, it's just beautiful and we loved it. Plus, all of our names have the same initial for first and middle name so she's G.G.
I had this name in mind before I even knew I wanted kids.
O is Morgan, because I thought it sounded pretty together.
A is James, after H's grandfather whom he never met! I'm a little pissy about this because he wouldn't compromise the middle name and let me add my grandfather's name in. Grumble. H said he wanted a j name so he could call him aj. Whateves.

1 is Christopher, it's DH's middle name
2 is Marie. It's my fave deceased grandmother's middle name, my mom's middle name and DH's fave grandmother's middle name.
3 is Joseph because he's the Patron Saint of the family and real estate (our investments)
4 is Andrew because it sounded good
DS's middle name is Max after DH's great grandmother Maxene.
She lived to be 100 and was the neatest lady -- we thought it was a great way to honor her.
No boy names for 2.0 yet... but if we have a girl, her middle name will be Elle after my mother Michelle.
Jean. It's after DH's grandpa Gene who passed a few years ago. Our eventual #2 will have a MN from my family.

Benjamin and Victoria. No special meaning, but both intentionally strong traditional names in case either decide they don't like their less formal traditional first names down the line.
Patricia for my mom who I lost when I was 9.
We don't have one picked for 2.0 yet, but I think it's going to be Marie. I wanted to use a family name on DHs side, but he can't think of anything significant except a common middle name for girls of Marie, which is after his mom's grandmother, Mary.
My father, brother and BIL
A's middle name is Victoria. That is my middle name which my parents picked out of a hat when I was two (my sister doesn't have a middle name, and I didn't either until then). They put all the grandmothers' names in a hat, and that is what I got.
2.0's middle name is likely going to be Graham, which is DH's name.

It's DH's first name. In his family the dad's pass their first name on as the middle name.
In my family the girls get their godmother's name as their middle name.
