The New Dad Blog Of The Day – Middle Names

My wife and I have figured out the baby's name. We did this a while ago and we were quite happy about it. We both find it kind of funny when we tell people her name, they all have pretty much the same deadpan response of "ok" or a variation of that phrase. So the nice part is that everyone is on board with the first name.

Now the question: the middle name.  Here is the plan, combine my Mom's name, my Mother-In-Law's name and my wife's late Grandmother's name. BUT, we haven't officially said that was the middle name. So why is it so hard to find the middle name. I am ok with any variation we have come up with, but neither my wife, nor I have committed to it. The first name was easy. I said the name and my wife said "Yes", almost immediately.

Because of that, I am letting my wife chose the middle name. I think that is fair.  I hope that is fair. I am sure we will be finalizing it soon...the baby is due in a little over 3 months.
