We are the same way. I like to reserve middle names for family names since family is usually the only people that know the middle names anyway.
As far as first names.... I like names that would work for a little kid, but also work well in the professional world. My yardstick is the Supreme Court...LOL.... if I couldn't imagine a Supreme Court Justice with my child's name, I won't name them that. I don't mind cute nicknames as an option. In fact, since I have a short name that has no nn options, I prefer giving my kids that option as they go through school.
That is my naming philosophy....
