Finding The Right Middle Name
View in gallery
For some parents finding the perfect middle name is just as important as finding the first name.
While other parents allow themselves to have a little more fun when choosing a middle name as they feel they are slightly less important as it is not the name the child will use every day.
But with that said, don’t let the wrong middle name take away from all your hard work finding the perfect first name for your little one.
If you really fancy a challenge, you could opt for two middle names. In the US, you’re only legally required to have a first name and a surname on your birth certificate. Anything after that is simply down to personal choice.
Where To Look For Inspiration
As we’ve said most people don’t use their middle name on a daily basis so you can take a step away from the more traditional names and opt for something that is a little more weird and wacky.
If you are looking for some inspiration here are a few ideas of where to look for that perfect middle name. Some of these options would usually be the first place that you would look for middle names.
Family Tradition
The most common place to start for most people is with their own family. Many families have a tradition of passing down a middle name from one generation to another or choosing a middle name that begins with a certain letter.
Or you may decide on a middle name to honor a relative. This could be a grandparent, aunt, uncle, or even a maiden name.
Take a good look into your family history and you’re sure to find a name that is both perfect for your child and connects them to their family heritage, even before they are old enough to understand the connection.

Two Is Better Than One
Maybe you and your partner had a first name choice that was pipped at the post for a variety of reasons.
That second place name may be able to be used as the middle name. As most middle names also make great middle names, there is nothing to worry about.
Memories Or Place Name
Celebrities are not the only people who can use place names for their children’s names. They are actually very trendy at the moment.
So if you and your partner have a special place that holds some fond memories or a favorite destination, go for it.
Other Inspiration
If you have exhausted your family heritage and you don’t want to go down the route of naming your child after a place, you could always look to your favorite tv programs, hobbies, or games for inspiration.

What To Be Careful Of When Choosing The Perfect Middle Name
Middle names are an opportunity to be a little wilder and daring with your children’s names. After all, it is not the name they will be using every day.
This is why you often find people who have a relatively normal name and then some weird or wonderful middle name that their parents just couldn’t let go of, but also couldn’t justify as a first name.
But there are a few things that you need to consider when choosing a perfect middle name.

Potential For An Unfortunate Nickname
You need to put yourself in the mind of a child and think as they do. If you can think up some cruel and not very nice names to tease your child, then you can bet that any child in the playground can too.
Initials
Remember that your children’s initials will often be written down on display so you need to ensure that they do not spell out any unfortunate words.
With Mason as a first name, there is always the chance that their initials could potentially spell out some less than desirable things.
Flow Of Entire Name
When you decide on the perfect first name, along with the ideal middle name, and of course you already know the surname, you need to check that it all flows together and is not too clunky when you say it out loud.
If you have any doubts get a second opinion from family and friends and say the full name in conversation. If you find yourself tripping over your words or the name sounds clunky, there’s a pretty good chance that it is not the right combination of names.
