Re: Boy's middle name for a girl
Hmmm I think if the name flows nicely, it's fine? Lizzie Andrew just kind of dies out on my tongue and I don't like the flow. My parents did a similar thing with my older sister, they thought she was going to be last kid (I was entirely a surprise) and gave her the middle name James for my dad. So her name is Samantha James, which I think sounds quite nice. It has spiraled out of control though, my oldest sister named her two boys after my dad as well (Kaihl (its pronounced Kyle, stupid I know) James, and James William Michael) and my other two sisters took that as a signal that they needed to name ALL future grandkids after my dad, even the girls. So we have total, Kaihl James, James William Michael, David Stephen James, Madyson Taylor Jaymes (according to my sister, the Y makes it more feminine), Kassandra Jaymes, Lucas James, Mariellen Jaymes and Case James. I will not be giving future children the middle name James, needless to say.http://www.behindthename.com/pnl/139762

Oh my gosh, that really did get out of control! :) Is you dad really really amazing? You should name all your kids after you mom! Just kidding.

Yeah, my dad was a great guy! It kind of spiraled out of control after he passed away and my sisters thought that was the only way to honor him. If they really wanted too, they would have named one of the girls Molly, his favorite name :)Unfortunately for my mom, none of us like Sandra or Louise, ahaha. Taylor is supposedly for my mom, but she doesn't think so. It's her mom's maiden name. My sisters tend to get a little crazy.
