Middle names

I was always a bit sad when I was a kid that everyone I knew had one and I didn’t. I realise how daft that sounds but it’s true 😂 Doesn’t bother me in the slightest now though!
My children have middle names dedicated to family members but honestly it doesnt matter if they have them or not. They're only really used on official documents and its rare for people to go by their middle name instead. I'm sure more people go by nicknames instead so it really doesnt matter if you have one or not!
My mum wasn’t given a middle name and she is still slightly bitter about it…
They are a bit pointless really, you never use them. My kids do have middle names but they have family names as middle names which I quite like as they feel meaningful. But if you’re not going down that road and you can’t think of anything you like then I wouldn’t bother 🤷🏼♀️
I don’t have one. Me mum dad and Brother don’t. I gave my little girl one tho - an adaption of her cousins names put together.
It's definitely not necessary and I never really use mine! However my mum doesn't have a middle name and she grew up being so jealous of her friends so she pretended she had one 😂
We didn't bother giving our little boy a middle name, like others have said, it never really gets used anyway and it took us long enough just to agree on his first name 🤣
My siblings and I all have a middle name. My oldest sister has middle names for her kids. My older brother two older kids don’t have a middle but for their third and final kid does have a middle. Both of my boys have middle names. Some family and I do call them by their middle name.
My daughter has a middle name to commemorate her grandad she never got to meet x
Ladies, How much having a middle name is important?
I have one that I hate, I'd rather my parents had made that decision you're making 😄
My son is 17months old and I gave him a middle name and wish I didn’t. It’s honestly so pointless and I’ve never used it. I liked the name at the time but now think it doesn’t match him.
The only reason we gave our babies middle names is because we loved more than one name an I don’t have a middle name and always felt left out as a kid 😆
My MIL doesn’t have one and she’s definitely a bit sour about it and she’s in her 70s now. It’s probably more a societal thing. My daughter has 2 middle names after my 2 grandmothers but honestly apart from her birth certificate we never ever use them. In fact my partner asked me what they were the other day 😂

I don't have a middle name and I'm quite happy about it, it's a lot easier for forms etc!
It’s not necessary.
