I named my oldest daughter after my hubby, I just added a Y to the end.

My youngest has his middle name as her middle name.

I think its cool, until you get to the so and so the 4th

We plan on naming our son if we have one after my husband, and he will be the fourth.

My oldest daughter is named after her daddy. I changed one letter in her name. So instead of a Y I put and I and added Ann as part of her first name.

My youngest is named afte me.  We drop and A and added a Y and added ANN as part of her first name.

We decided after many discussions to name our son after his daddy.  We searched long and hard for a middle name that we liked (because we had already decided to give him daddy's first name), but couldn't come up with anything.  Finally one day, he suggested his own middle name, and I agreed.  We did NOT want him being called "Junior" at any point, so his official name is Robert Wayne M__, II.  His daddy goes by his middle name (Wayne), and we call him "Bobby," so we've passed on the name without having a "Junior."

If you both like that name I think it is fine.  My son has DH's middle name as his first name (Rees) and my FIL's first name as his middle name (Richard). It's all a personal preference. If you like it go with it.

My son is a II, way cooler than junior lol. My daughter also has my middle name Jouel (jo-elle).

My husband and I are naming our son after him and his father, so the baby will be James Michael Walter C.  He won't be a junior because he has both middle names.  I didn't want the junior part, so we compromised and the baby got two middle names.   Kinda long, but it's a family thing.  With my first son, he was named after his father, and he is a fourth.

My oldest son is named after my husband his father so he is the third.  We call him Trip for triple for the third.  I had a friend in high school who was the third that went by Trip.  He is William Roy.  Roy is also my grandfather's name.  Our families have been friends for generations so my Great Grandfather was best friends with my husbands Grandfather so my grandfather (LeRoy Burtram) is named after my husbands grandfather (Burtram LeRoy) my great grandfather just flipped the first and middle names.  Tons of family history there.

My second son has my BIL's middle name as his first name Terrence middle name Scott (family name on my side).  We pulled r-e-n out of the middle of TerRENce and that is his nickname, Ren. 

Our daughter is Mary Elaine (first name) Kathryn (middle name).  We call her Kitty which is a NN for Kathryn.  She is named after MIL (Mary Douglass), Grand MIL (Mary Will), and Great Grand MIL(Mary Elizabeth) as well as my Great grandmother (Mary).  With all those Mary's that was a slam dunk for us.

As you can see we LOVE family names.  Our kids just have non traditional nicknames.

I think it's a lovely tribute and a nice way to carry on a name that is important to you.

We aren't going to name any of our children after ourselves, but each of our children has a middle name that is a family name in at least 2 generations. 

If we have a son, His first name is going to be the name of a very special family friend. Then his middle name will also be my father's middle name.

I want my children to have names that are very special and filled with meaning, this is a way that I am giving their names something special that has meaning to my family.
