DS's middle name is Stanyford. The first boy of each generation of DH's family has this middle name, DH has it, plus it is his grandfather's first name. DH is very close to his grandfather.
If we have a girl next time around, her middle name will be Paige. That's my sister's middle name.
If we have a boy next time around, his middle name will be Thomas. That's my father's middle name AND DH's father's middle name.
I love the middle name to have a family connection. For DD1 it was simple, both my mum and MIL have the same first name, so we used that. For DD2, I chose her first name so I let DH choose the middle name, which was his grandmothers first name. If we have a boy we will probably use my dad's name as DH wants to name a son after himself, which is also his dad and great grandfathers name.
DS' name didn't seem complete without a middle name, and everything we came up with didn't sound right without a second name. So DS has two middle names.
We then chose names from our families and chose the two that went best together, so he wasn't named after the family, moreso that the other names we liked a being reserved for more boys as we had so much trouble agreeing on this one!
