HelpRe: It's not the worst thing you could do...
in reply to a message by Chanel
Well, it's not like anyone is suggesting that the girl with the middle name Maeve is going to commit suicide or be seriously screwed up for life if her sister is given her middle name. You're right, there are more important things in life. But she may feel just a little cheated, and it may bother her just a little bit, (that's the way I would feel), and if this can be avoided, why not avoid it?

Personally I don't care about my middle name, and it really wouldn't bother me. My older brother is David Hawley, after a family name, and if I'd been named Hannah Hawley that'd be cool with me (especially since I like the alliteration there). Middle names almost never come up anyway. My brothers don't even know what mine actually is, and I sometimes forget theirs.

I'm the opposite, my brothers and I have the same middle name, and it bugs the hell out of me. I really wish my parents had put thought into my middle name, it would have been honoring no matter what, but I would have liked it to be something other than my mother's maiden name. This is mostly because I dislike my first name, but my middle name is about as unusable as you can get.
