Can I use my sons middle name?

[MissMooMoo]

Ok so with our son we both loved the name Jacob and for his middle name we used Harry as that was my grandads name and he was very ill with cancer during the pregnancy (luckily he got to meet him!)

So we are now expecting again and the only boy name we love is Harry, would it be weird to use it because it is Jacobs middle name? (no one ever calls him Jacob Harry)

Thanks xxx

It's a little weird, but I don't see it as a big deal. It's a super cute name.

My LO's middle name is Lily, and I wish in a way we'd used something else as I'd love to use it if we ever had another daughter! I personally wouldn't use it, but it's your decision!

My husband's middle name is David and they had another boy, my bil. They named him David and I honestly don't think anyone has ever commented or thought it was wierd x

I like it! Don't think it's strange as not that many people that he meets will know his brothers middle name, plus nice connection for the 2 of them. We are thinking of using my stepdaughters middle name as our baby's middle name, if its a girl, thought it might help her to feel connected to the baby, she isn't thrilled about us having one!

I have some friends who have a Michael John and a Joesph Michael and their dad is also Michael. It doesn't seem strange to me.

You could call him Harry Jacob!

i think that's getting too silly... to have 2 kids with identical names is wierd and uncreative

You're such a killjoy.

Anyway, I think it would be cute.
