Is my maiden name...

Is my maiden name too strange to use as a middle name for my son? It's Badger. I am thinking about Peter or Henry for a first name. What do you guys think?

I think Badger could definitely work as a mn.

IMO, it's OK for a middle name.

For a middle name, I think you're fine. I'd probably go with Henry to avoid the sing-songiness of Peter Badger (and the cross-current with Peter Rabbit.)

I think Henry Badger is a great choice, and I love the family connection.

wow, I don't think so - a Badger is a type of beaver, right?- as in the Wisconsin Badgers - also the word badger means to annoy someone or to continue to beg for something


sorry it's your maiden name, but no, I cant' see using that as a middle

I disagree with the pp. I think Badger is fine, especially since it was your maiden name. And
