663.1Depends on the names.REEF::MCGOWANRWolves....The silent hunters.Mon Apr 08 1991 12:556
    I guess that would depend on the name and if you want a middle name...I
    guess we could use both but I think:
    Vincent Geraint McGowan  and
    Emerald Charity McGowan    would be some pretty long names, even though
    Snell would be their last name... I guess it would all depend.

    I agree with .1.  Until a few years ago, I never heard of using the
    wife's maiden name as a child's middle name.  But a friend of mine
    used her middle name for both of her sons.  It went very nicely with
    their last name and was very distinguished sounding together.
    
    Another friend of mine who is an only child, gave her maiden name
    as a middle name to her third child, who is a girl.  Again, the names
    matched nicely.  
    
    At confirmation, these children picked other names for themselves.  So
    they, in fact, have 4 names now - first, confirmation-middle,
    birth-middle, and last!

    I think it's a nice idea...  In fact, when I got married I took my
    husband's last name, but rather than hyphenating my maiden name
    with it, I turned my maiden name into my middle name.

    I tend to go by K.C., C. being the initial for my maiden name.  My
    ACTUAL middle name is Theresa.

    I did the same thing made my maiden name my middle name.  My father had
    all girls and there are not too many of us "Belfield" 's left.  So I
    went from Kimberly Anne Belfield  ->  Kimberly Belfield Ricks.
