Middle name...

How did you mommies choose baby's middle name?? Did you follow the name choosing guide thing??

My daughter's name is Kalyn JoLeigh M(his last name-mistake on my part)
        Jo- his name is Joe and Leigh because that's my middle name


I'm now having a boy with different dad- not pos between 2 guys..

I love the name Kasen----- this baby will have my last name(M)..
Guy 1 doesn't give a crap and won't talk to me since he told his gf I was preg(they had broken up and got back together)
Guy 2 wants to be involved some. Wants Scandinavin name because he's Scandinavin.

I don't really care what the origin is if I like the name. I went through a whole site A-Z on names and made list.
Fell in LOVE with Kasen- turns out it means Pure and is Scandinavin. Guy 2 likes it.. But I'm stuck on a middle name.. Kinda like Kasen Lee M. Since Leigh is my middle name and in Kalyn's BUT it is also Guy 2's middle name. Since I'm not sure if baby is really his. Feel that he is Guy 2. And he's the date doctor is going with for conceiving date..

What if its not his??! Then my baby will have a Scandinavin name and his middle name and spelling.

Thoughts???

We chose Abigail Delilah - the middle name came from my great grandmother her name was Elizabeth Delilah and I've always loved her name I have Elizabeth as my middle name and my grandmother say I remind her so much of her mom which is why I chose Delilah.

I think If you like It, then stick with It. Doesn't necessarily Involve guy number 2, juss seems like a coincidence.  
We decided our baby boy's middle name would be my boyfriend's first name since he originally wanted our son to be Michael Benjamin B the third and pass It down, but I personally didn't want to. So he wanted his name In our baby's name somewhere and decided to have Michael as his middle name to represent his father.

If we have a girl we are going to name her Aurora Eve. Aurora is the real name of sleeping beauty, who is my favorite princess and I have wanted that name for my daughter ever since I first started thinking about children in high school. We chose Eve because we found out about the pregnancy on new years eve and it just kind of fit. We can't decide on a boys name yet, but his middle name is going to be Ross because its his father middle name, as well as his grandfather and great grandfathers middle name. Either way the baby will take daddys last name because we do plan on getting married after the baby is born.

My son is Kaiden Isaiah...my hubby and I fell in love with it the minute we agreed on it. I am 26+2 with a girl and we had a very hard time we finally decided on Kieran Evee and calling her Kiera for short. My husband loved the name Evelyn and call her Evee (ee-vee) for short and I wasn't sold on evelyn but loved evee. So that's how we decided on our middle name :) I think the middle name lee is cute with kasen and think you should still use it bc its ur middle name too and it wouldn't necessarily be bc of guy 2.

Names I had considered quite a bit. I decided on Evelyn Rose for a girl because I thought it was pretty, and Rose is my middle name and my grandmothers. My man loved it because he was into E names for girls lol... But he picked the spelling to be Evalynn. Same thing with a boy--I eventually thought of John Thomas for a boy after my grandfathers. He liked it, but asked that it be Jonathan and we call him Jon. So essentially I got to pick the name and he got to pick the spelling lol.

If you loved the name before you found out it was Scandinavian I'd still stick with it. I personally like it but that's up to you.

My daughter's name is Elliana Hope Taylor. I had several possibilities for her middle name. Her dad chose to walk away completely but his family chose to be involved. His mom's name is Carol so I thought about that one. My daughter was due Christmas Day so I thought it would be perfect. Then I considered Joy, my sister's middle name. Then I considered Elizabeth, my grandmothers name and then Audrey, after my other grandmother. I thought about giving her two middle names because I just couldn't decide and i wanted to honor both my grabdmothers by naming my baby after them. By the time my due date came I still hadn't felt completely decided on a middle name. I had about 5 names but none of them seemed right to me. The day after Christmas, at my dr's appt, she told me I still hadn't dilated or was at all effaced. I had already been in to l&d twice with very painful and frequent contractions so by that point I was beyond frustrated. I told my dr I had given up all hope of my baby ever being born. Later that evening I was reading my bible and the passage that I had randomly chosen to read was about having hope even if you feel there isn't any reason to have any. That night my water broke. I hadn't even started having any contractions before hand. It all just sort of clicked for me that her middle name had to be Hope. I literally chose the name about an hour before she was born but I knew it was the right name for her when I did choose it.
