I have two friends delivering in less than 8 weeks; we are all very excited.

Baby # 1 is Caydence Hope ~ her parents are Angie and Michael and her siblings are Samantha (11), Lee (8), Mackenzie (5), and Madison (2).

Baby # 2 is Pierce Anderson/Andrew ~ his parents are Jennifer and Tim and his big brother is Gavin (3). Parents are in disagreement about the MN...both Tim and Gavin have the MN Anderson, which Tim wants to use for baby Pierce. Jennifer is against it. My vote is for Anderson.

WDYT??

I agree with Jennifer. I wouldn't use Anderson for Pierce's MN. I understand the want to use Anderson as a middle name for the first born son but it is completely ridiculous to use it for both sons. Tim already has a son with his MN, why not let Pierce have a family name from Jennifer's side or use a different family name from his own side?

no, I think one baby's middle name being after the father is enough - I think it's egotistical for him to expect both babies to be named for him

I think they should look to other family members on both sides and see if there is a suitable name to be used

congrats to your friends!! personally i like pierce andrew as opposed to pierce anderson. it still has much of the same letters and since big bro gavin and daddy have the middle name anderson-i think it would be better if baby pierce has his own name, kwim? good luck to your friends!!
