I like Rose for a girl. It is Jessica's middle name and her nans maiden name, but Jessica is not so keen. As far as boys go, it would have to begin with an R as it is sort of a tradition of the Ords in my line. |

Michele,,,if it is a boy, I can name him and I think it will be Richard (after my grandad and great grandad Ord) but I have toyed with RobRoy (after Jess' dad, Robert, and grandad, Roy) but Jess doesn't seem keen, so we may give that as a middle name. If it is a girl, Jess has the choice and she still likes Filey or EllieMay or Rhiannah (however you spell it). I like the latter. It's all good fun at the moment, so any suggestions would be great! |

You have got to be kidding!! My mother wanted to name me after the Aunt that raised her and if it was not for my Dad my names would have been Wilhelmina Maria. She took the first two letters of both names and I landed up with Wilma as a second name. To make matters worse my given name is not any better. Think carefully before naming a child as they have to live with it. My two boys are Daniel and David. Not much imagination there but they are written exactly the same in English as in Portuguese just pronounced different. Good Luck Lindy :-) |

My son has my maiden name as one of his middle names, Chandler, and my daughter has my paternal grandmother's maiden name as one of her middle names - Coventry. Michele(Simone Caroline) |

It's a great name, I will add it to the list! Jessica wants to call the baby Filey if we have a girl. I think I even prefer Mixture to Filey! |

My middle name is the same as a bear who was an olympic mascot - should I be questioning who my real father is?? |

Middle names are often a clue to ancestry. I have 2 middle names, the christian names of both my grandfathers. One of my grandfathers had the same naming pattern. My wife Jessica's middle name is the maiden name of her nan, in the same way that my nan's middle name was her nannans. What about the rest of you? |
