2 middle names? WDYT?
| Mon, 11-01-2004 - 4:23pm |
I've been thinking that I'd like to give my maiden name to one of my children whether it's a boy or girl. But I just got to thinking...maybe I could give all of my children 2 middle names. And for each one the 2nd mn would be my maiden name. DF and I talked about how we think it's a bit silly that only the father's last name is passed on. We think that matrilineal naming makes more sense. He even said he'd consider taking my last name when we marry! I don't want to do something that out of the norm. I want to take on DF's name as my last name and make my maiden name a 2nd middle. so, I think it would be a nice tradition for my children to have my maiden name as a 2nd middle and DF's last name. Then maybe they will carry on that tradition. I think it works better than doing hyphenated last names because then what if the child with a hyphenated last name wants to do the same thing with their children? You'd end up with people with 4 last names! lol :P
What do you all think about this? Good idea? Anyone give their children 2 middle names or have 2 middle names themselves? If so, have you encountered any problem with this?
