How did you choose the middle name ?

DS1 we used Walter as all the first born males on my side had that as their middle name for at least 4 generations before (so at least 5 generations now); DS2 we used used DH's dad's name (Colin) as they had a tradition of using the father's first name as the middle name of the first male but DH's parents broke that tradition and DH didn't want his name to be the middle name so we went back to his dad's.

Dd1 has my middle name. Dd2 has my grandmothers middle name. If we had had a boy teu would have had the same middle name as my dad and brother.

DDs first name is a bit unusual so we picked a traditional middle name to balance it out. It had to sound right in terms of number of syllables etc. And DP decided it had to start with a roman numeral so DDs initials are roman numerals- geeky much?!

basically names that I love but I think are too common to use as a first name =p one of the middles names are after a family member (started by accident but kept the theme).
( for Spock and the future girl and boy name I already have picked)
oh and all names have a strong meaning, meaningbis more important than the nane for me
