We named our daughter that we lost Kayla Kathryn, and if this one is another girl we'll likely reuse the middle name because it was after my mom, and it would be a happy coincidence that she could share her middle name with her sister. But if it had been just an old name that we liked, we would pick a new one. But people keep asking me....if this one is a girl, you could invert it, so Kathryn Kayla.....or do a play on Kayla like Kaylee or Kaylan. One person even asked if we'll name the new baby Kayla Kathryn. For crying out loud people, they are people, not dogs! My kids are not going to be Kayla #1 and Kayla #2. For that reason alone, I hope this one is a boy. People amaze me sometimes.

Re: Name vent
Of course your children deserve their own identities!!! Yes using a middle name that has meaning makes sense but just playing mix n match doesn't.
