I know that if, and I hope I do, have a daughter, she’ll have my grandmother’s middle name, Juanita, as a part of her name. It kind of works both ways, my grandmother and great-aunt share the same name, as does one of my cousins. So, but I really wanted something that would honor my grandmother first and foremost. I always had it that she’d be here when I had my baby, but, I know she will be in spirit…

I think their pact is cute and very special. I don’t have any kids yet, but am planning to for my daughter to have my sister’s middle name (Elizabeth) in some way. My mother has worn out her first name (Sara) from yelling it over the years so I’ll just use Elizabeth. It’s also our great-grandmother’s middle name so it’s even more special. Everyone in a our family is named after someone, so we have two or three of everything!! I think it’s sweet that they love each other so much to fufill their pact.

That’s so sweet how they kept a pact they made when they were so young, it’s a true indicator of how close they really are.

My maternal grandfather, a maternal uncle, my dad, and my brother are all named William. I’d use it for a middle name but I think we have enough Williams in the family already. Thanksgiving is confusing enough.

well, we went for the middle name, Michael. we would have used it for the first name, but my children actually have three uncle Mikes: my brother, ex-husband’s brother, and ex’s sister’s husband. that would have been too much to add a fourth. not to mention, i am now engaged to another Mike. lol

I love how close marlon and Shawn are. My son’s name will have frank either in it’s first name or middle name, and it’s in honor of my grandfather who I was very close to and my brother’s middle name, who I’m also close too.

I don’t have any kids yet but i can tell you this,if i have a daughter the name Caroline will feature in somewhere.
My sisters name is Caroline and she is so special to me that i will definitely use it in a daughters name

My uncle and brother have the same name and its really not confusing because they’re Scott and Scotty or little scott. Its far more confusing that I have 2 uncle Johns. (My mom’s brother and my mom’s sister’s husband)

I love how close Shawn and Marlon are. And its really nice how they kept the pact they made as kids.
