Both of the middle names we have picked out are an homage to my husbands late parents.  We are using his moms first name (Rose) as the middle name if we have a girl, and his fathers middle name (Bronson) as the middle name if we have a boy.

If we have a boy his name will be Callum douglas... my SOs mothers sides last name is McCallum and so it would cover his grandparents and his middle name is my SOs middle name and his late fathers name.... my girls name will be Lainey... and either Elizabeth or May... Both from my grandma.... I have 2 daughters and their middle names are also family names.... Allisa Rae after my middle name and Danielle Anne after my MIL... and I didn't know at the time but it's also my late grandma's middle namr

If it's a girl we pulled a common middle name from our sisters, and if it's a boy the middle name will be William after my husband's middle name and my late father's name, this is our first, but picking names was easy for us this time

We have decided for a girl Zoey Reighn which is not a family name but for a boy we have chosen Calhan Timothy. Calhan was the first boy name that we both liked. And Timothy is after my stepfather who has one biological who refuses to have anything to do with him though he has tried multiple times to help her (long story). When my mom sugested it we weren't really feeling but after a while we liked it.

We've only decided on a middle name so far and we're going with my oldest brother's middle name. We actually haven't explored any first names yet, though.

My husband's family has a tradition where all the boys middle names are Ross.  So our 1 1/2 yo middle name is Ross. If we have another boy his will be Ross as well. We're debating on using my middle name for if we have a girl, just to keep the matching middle names thing going, if so, her middle name will be Alexandrea, but if we decide against it her middle name will be Wendy,  after against aunt of mine who has faced many troubles in her life but is still the brightest, happiest person that I know.
