Would you mind if your sibling named their child

[jnoellee]

The same name that was your child's middle name?

Just curious!

[chickatexxa]

Nope. Team "don't care." Copying my kid's first name? That would be awkward.

[muppetinma]

Nope. But to be fair, his middle name is a family name.

[TrudyCampbell]

Yes, because their middle names aren't that common. As it is, my husband's sister used Emma and Violets middle is Emmeline.

[Deleted]

No. Both their middle names are family names anyways.

[Deleted]

I honestly don't know my nieces and nephews middle names :/ Is that awful?!

[Deleted]

Kinda but only because we used my and my husband's middle names for our kids. I guess I wouldn't really mind but it would be weird.

Actually I just remembered my niece has the same middle name as me and Amelia. But she was 3 when my brother started dating my sil so her middle name has nothing to do with me.

[jnoellee]

I would mind if it were Rose and Jane's but I wouldn't mind if it were Elias' or Ezra's lol.

My sister is having a boy and thinking about Jameson, I think she isn't considering James because it's Elias' middle name. But I don't mind. I dont think it's 100% ideal but it's more common which makes me care less. And its our brothers middle name!

[jnoellee]

So it got me thinking if people think that's off limits or not. I think it depends.

[DesertMoon]

My a daughters MN is a super old fashion old lady Arabic name and I'd find it hilarious if she used it as a first name I would picture my grandma everytime.

[TrudyCampbell]

I wouldn't really care in the end but I would find it a little odd

[TrudyCampbell]

Jameson is different than James IMO

[bean47]

Not really, not for middle names since they are family names.

[redmonkeystomper]

No, and I wanted to name thus baby my nieces middle name but my dh wasn't a fan.

[katfco]

Unless it was something really special to me, no I wouldn't care.

[fusion]

Wouldn't bother me. And I fully support the use of Jameson as a name

[teamhayes]

It wouldn't really bother me but one is a family name and the other 3 are different so it would be sorta weird fornthose 3

But she is done with kids So it's moot

I think sils have a different naming convention than me so it probably wouldn't come to fruition but I'm not sure I would mind too much

[The Foozzler]

Meh, I wouldn't care. Though both of my kids have middle names after family, and I don't love either middle name as a first name for a baby.

My niece and I share a middle name for no other reason than my sister liked it. But our middle names are both Rose and it is a super common middle name.

[blane12]

I would if it was Blake's middle name (Austin) since that was our first baby's first name... I wouldn't care if it was Colton's middle name (Joseph) as that's more common, and is a family name on H's side.

I'm team it depends on the circumstances lol.

[PatBenatar]

Not at all, especially since both our girls have family names as their middle.

Not the same, but we gave DD2 the same middle name as our niece

[laurack]

Matildas middle name is my nieces name (my niece is older). It's not weird at all IMO.. it's my grandmothers name.

[onehitwonder]

Not weird at all, but this is coming from someone whose husband, nephew and son all have the same first name. SIL asked DH to use his name for her first born, which he considered an honor at the time (confirmed bachelor). It was a tough decision for us to go with a junior, but my dad and grandfather, both deceased, share the same name and it was always going to be part of any name I gave my son. We got the blessing of both my SIL and nephew.

[ktstorm]

Nope, it wouldn't bother me. But, I will admit that we did not use names that were middle names of my nephews, even though we really liked one of them. Buuuut my SIL is crazycakes, so I didn't want to take any chances.

[imimahoney]

I almost did that. My nephew is Ben and we really liked Ari Benjamin as a combo. Ultimately we decided to honor a different family member but I did ask my sister first and she said she was ok with it. Not sure if was lying or not though.

[monarobinson]

I wouldn't mind in the case of a middle name. I think people get too weird about names and assumed ownership.

[CrazyLucky]

I would have no problem with it.

[mumegs]

No, my niece and M have the same middle names. They are family names. I wouldn't care for a first name either though.

My sister has the same first name as her first cousin, and both my mom and aunt gave all their kids their maiden names as middle names. Also their last names are both one syllable and sound very similar so they almost have the same exact names. It causes confusion a lot, and one has always been Big Katie and the other is Little Katie. I have had my mom tell whole stories about things Katie is doing assuming she's talking about one Katie when she's talking about the other.

[jsillyfun]

I wouldn't care especially since both middle names are after our grandmas I would assume they just wanted to honor grandma.

Elizabeth's middle name is also Rose, and she's after great grandma Rose on H's side. But there's still a great grandma Rose on my side, so if my brother wanted to use it, go ahead. Because really, what Jewish family doesn't have a grandma Rose somewhere?

[nannerl]

This exact thing happened in my family. William is also my nephews middle name, but since he is called something different it wasn't a big deal. I did check with my sister ahead of time though and would have revisited other options if she and her DH weren't ok with it.
