same middle name for DD's???

[Party-of-five]

ok my middle name is Lee same as my mums, so we gave it to DD for her middle name now we have just found out we are expecting another beautiful daughter and DH thinks we should give her the same middle name?? im not so sure ive never heard of anyone else doing this. i know when i was little i used to think it wasnt fair that all my family have names that start with D and i got a name that started with N i dont feel this way any more i love my name lol, so i can understand that as an older child she may wonder why she didnt get the same middle name but i also worry she might think she should have had something different. there is no other names from our familys to use so we would just be picking a middle name for this baby because we liked it. babys first name is picked but its secret it is a traditional name and goes well with Lee but would just like some opinions...does anyone think its weird to use the name twice???

I dont think it's weird. My twin sisters have the same middle name, I guess that's abit different as being twins it signifies their connection, but I dont think it is odd. Very nice really! Alternatively my mum and aunties middle names are Renee Maree and Lee... all with the double ee's.

Both my girl's have the same middle name.... it was my surname before marriage, and get this... its Lee as well

My two Sister's and I both have the same middle name which is also my Mum's middle name.

I know a woman who gave her three DD's her middle name and I think it's a nice thing to do, like an extra connection kwim?

My DS and 2 DD's all have the same middle name. I don't think it's weird.

In the future when I have another bub, if it's a girl I was thinking of giving her the same middle name as my daughter but I don't know about that...seeing as DD's middle name is my first name - might be seen as a bit vain naming more than one child after me.

DS would have had the same middle name as DD if he was a girl - it is my maiden name that is also a girls name. If you like it go for it!

HI

I have the middle nameLee. We gave it to our first 2 girls and this time if we have a girl Lee will be used as part of her first name in remembrance of our second daughter,

Best of luck deciding

My two sister-in-laws both have 'may' as a middle name which is the same as their mum... they are also all born in May - presuming thats how the name came about....
I thought it was odd at first as i've never seen all girls/boys have the same middle name - only sort of one child... but i don't see anything wrong with it. I just wasn't used to it.

How about a varient... my mum is Leanne and I am Kirsty-Lea.... so one of my daughters i'm going to change it slightly and have Kaeleigh or Ashleigh. So the sound of 'Lea' is still in there but its unique to her.

I think it is a common middle name. I cannot re-use it for my children as my married surname ends with ......ley (pronounced Lee).

awww i just had a thought...maybe on day ill have a grandbaby with Lee as a middle name too damn hormones

My sister and I share the same middle name - it is the same middle name that our father and grandfather have. Its an unusual name and it always gets a conversation started when people ask, but it is a nice family connection for us and something we're both proud of.
