First names are hard to choose when you’re preparing to welcome a new son or daughter. However, middle names for girls and boys can be tricky, too. Many people decide to give their child a middle name that honors a close relative who has passed away. However, other parents will choose the middle name based on a doctor or nurse who helps deliver the baby. They might even choose a name that has been in their family for generations.

Of course, a middle name doesn’t have to honor anyone inside or outside of the family. Some parents choose middle names based on what sounds best with the first name. They might want the two names to have alliteration so they sound nice together. Middle names can also be symbolic. They can represent a person’s hometown or a personal hero. They could also reference a favorite, season, month, fruit, or emotion. When it comes to middle names, anything goes!

A Short History Of Middle Names

Although middle names are not necessary, it’s a common practice for children in America to be given middle names. In other countries, middle names are not used as often. Parents in Australia use the mother’s maiden name as a middle name. In Africa, multiple middle names are used to represent the time of day, religious affiliations, and relatives. Depending on where a person comes from, they might not have a middle name at all.

However, if you’re trying to choose a middle name for your own baby girl, you should pay attention to its meaning and origin. You can name your girl after a flower, a goddess, a famous celebrity, or a relative. Whatever you choose, you should make sure you’re confident about the way it sounds. Make sure it sounds good with their first name and last name.
