Spin off, because a reply in another post got me thinking...

Did any of you name any of your younger siblings?

Also, just to keep the conversation going, would you allow your children to name their younger siblings?

I named my little brother (who passed away, miscarriage) Dylan. My parents hadn't decided on a middle name for him and I don't think ever did give him a middle name.

I also named my little sister, who is now almost 15. Paige. My parents decided on her middle name after she was born, Marie.

I wouldn't allow my children to name their siblings unless it was something I really liked. I have three kids so it would be unfair for me to chose only one name.

We let our daughter name one of her twin brothers. His name is Lucas which was a name on our list.

Yes my brother and I got to pick a name for our sister. We had a list of names my parents like. 

We are letting our children help name our 4th. We decided we would come up with a list of names we like and let the girls pick what they like.

Nope. If I had she'd probably be something ridiculous like Toothpaste or Purplecrayon. LOL (I was 2 1/2 when she was born.)

No, I have one younger sibling that I did not name.

No, we wouldn't let our kids name a sibling.

No. I only have one younger brother, and my mom didn't really involve me in her pregnancy.

I didn't name my sister, as I was only about a year and a half when she was born... :P  Should we decide to have another child, I would let our son have some input with the name if he has ideas.  It's a family decision.
