We are having a 4th girl. Since we do not have a son I was thinking about using her grandfathers name along with my mothers.... Mary Andrew. Thoughts on the name?

    I personally wouldn’t use a male middle name. Andrea maybe?

    Mary Drew? I think Drew is more versatile than Andrew. 

    Having said that, I've known a Mary Charles, Mary John, and a Mary Larson. If it's special to you, it won't be 'weird' after you've given it to her.

    I like it because of the family link.

    I think that it works in the middle name spot!

    Although, I did just realize it sounds like a nun’s name... Sister Mary Andrew. Just something to think about.

    Do your first 3 girls have feminine middle names? Kids naturally compare middle names and if I were daughter #4 with Andrew and my 3 older sisters had pretty middle names, I’d feel jealous and wonder if my parents wished I’d been a son. I know male middle names are growing in popularity and family names can trump what sounds pretty, but you have to consider the context of the siblings too.

    They are all named after family members. Our last was Liberty Ruth

    Honestly, your daughter may someday think that they wished for a boy given such a strong masculine middle name, especially if the sisters have feminine names.  I would not do it!

    I feel like the name doesn't flow that well but it's up to you
