What are your reasons for choosing a middle name?

[saslia]

DD's middle name is my last name (Prue - so still a "girls" name) and DS's middle name is DH's name Stewart (family tradition)

[AnyDream]

I wanted to give both my DD's meaning-full names.

DD1's middle name is Sophia - I really hope she grows in Wisdom.
DD2's middle name is Hope. She was born on a 9/11 anniversary so the name holds all our hope and longing for a more tolerant and harmonious world.

Thanks so much for all your replies girls. I really appreciate it. It's made me look at middle names a bit differently.

Looks like there could be more choices to make now!!

Cheers.
