HelpRe: Siblings with same middle name
in reply to a message by Tuesday
My MN is my mom's maiden name, and I'm sure that if I had had siblings, they would've had the same MN. I wouldn't have thought it odd either, because it's more like having 2 LNs rather than a MN. Why shouldn't the mom's name get passed down the same as the dad's name?
If the MN is a given name I find it boring. In that case it's not like a LN, and it seems impersonal to give them all the same given name. But I do understand if it's a family or religious tradition. Kinda cool if the tradition has been going on for many generations. I don't know what I would have done if I married into a family that did that.
