what do you ladies think about not having a middle name just having a middle initial for a boy

Thats what we have ( for girl). My DH's very traditional american family does not give middle names to girls. We didnt plan on any but something happened and we ended up with initial. This kid wont have any middle name at all either

Idk how I feel about that. I dont think its something I would do.

You could probably do something like "Jay" where the middle name spells the middle intial?

Or just forego the MN all together. They are not a must

I was thinking C. Because both our fathers names start with a C. And then no feeling hurt

My stepdad has no middle name and neither does a good friend of mine. It's not something I would do but I don't see any issue with it.

It's tradition in my DH's family to just use "O" as the middle initial. I'm not crazy about it, but am willing to roll with it. I may insist on a christening name though

That is what we are planning on doing. Since my great-grandfather down to my brother's son, at least one son has the middle initial M. I'm going to do it for my first son too. I really wanted to honor my grandfather who I was very close with, but am not very fond of his first name. This way I can also honor my dad and brother too. Plus my husband likes it.

I have a friend that does not have a middle name and it can cause issues when filling out paperwork because they expect you to have one. Sometimes she has to make my a middle initial because it is a required field on the form. So I would vote for an initial over no middle name.
