How did you choose the middle name ?

[Sorka]

We went with meanings. So B lake V incent A talik means 'dark' and 'conquering' 'like his father'. Was tough thinking up three names with good meanings for each child though. If I had of known I would have five boys I would have stuck with two

DS (Thor Stefan) is named for his great grandfather (Thor) and his grandfather (Stefan). We wanted Icelandic names (DP's heritage) which are pronounceable and spellable in English, and Icelandic custom is to re-use family names as well.

We used family names for DS and DD1, DD2 has DH's middle name. I also gave them my maiden name as a middle name.

DS - named after DH's favourite basketball player
DD1 - she has two - first one is a name that both of us liked during my pregnancy, and then the other one is my middle name
DD2 - has two as well - first one is my mum's first name, second one is MIL's middle name
DD3 - has two (sensing a pattern?) - first one is DH's grandmother's first name, second one is my grandmother's first name

For DD, we wanted something to beautiful & precious. Her middle name is Jewel.
For DS, we wanted to use DP's late brother's name, but with different spelling. His middle name is Rhys.

I actually wanted DD's middle name to be Rhys, as I just love it in a unisex way, but DP insisted we save it for a boy if we had one.

This time, if its another DD, her middle name will be a particular fruit, and if its another DS, we're thinking of using a family nickname. Nothing is set in stone though.
