HelpRe: Would you use an honouring name?
in reply to a message by Felie
The traditional use of middle names here is to use names that are honoring, almost always a parent's or grandparent's name. Pretty much no one I know has middle names that the parents gave them "just because they liked them".
I love the idea of having a connection to your past through your name/s. My middle names are from my mother and great-grandmother. My sister's middle names are from our two grandmothers. So all honoring. And now that my sister is expecting a girl one of her middle names will be Caroline after me.
I'm not superstitious when it comes to honoring names. I'm my own person. A name won't turn me into someone else or change my personality. I don't like the idea of using honoring names as first names but that's just me.
To answer your question: Yes, I would most definitely use honoring names (as middle names).
