[ - ] it seems like a lot of women use their last name as the middle name for their son. I didn't do that and I regret it. DS is 3..do you think I can change his middle name? 14 Replies [ Reply | Watch | More

I think it would be a huge pain for something so trivial. Middle names are reduced to initials 95% of the time. Nobody cares about a middle name and has virtually nothing to do with your identity. [ Reply | More

I gave both my DD and DS two middle names, the first is a name I liked, the second is my last name. I like that my family is acknowledged, it's also a cultural thiing. [ Reply | More

Ok, I have my mom's maiden last name as my middle name, so I can't use it instead of my first name. I'm pretty much stuck with my first name. I have her family name, which is nice, but really, that's about her more than me. My brother switched from his first name to his middle name, because he wanted a more ordinary name for a while. I didn't have that option. It's not a big deal really, but there you go. [ Reply | More

yes, but the OR gave her kids two middle names, only one of which was her maiden name, so they can still use the other middle name as their given name if that's what they want. [ Reply | More

Yeah, it is our version of The What (from Brownstoner). That is why we need split up by party lines. I take my political/social views for granted & don't want to waste my time being shot down by a provincial conservative. I could just call my MIL for that. [ Reply | More

you must have a huge freezer and lots and lots of extra bottles. this can work if you have a limited back up supply, but isn't necessarily practical for a working mom witha freezer stash. [ Reply | More
