    His initials are SLM so I was wanting her initials to be the same. Her middle name is going to be Lynn (which he picked out and I agreed) so there is no debate on that. I looked it up and it is in fact a Russian/Slavic female name.

      It's always been a favourite of mine. You may want to be careful with Lynn as a middle name because, as I understood it, Svetlana (light Lana or little Lana) and Lynn have the same roots (albeit via a circuitous pathway). But it would be like called a girl Jennifer and having the middle name Jenny.

        I didn't know that I'm glad you pointed that out. What about Lindsey? That was the second choice for the middle name.

          Lindsey/Lindsay works because it has an Old English root. I think a Lin is a pool or small lake. Nice name too. One of my favourite people in real-life is a Lindsay.

            Lindsey is my husband's middle name so that's why that was the second choice of middle name. Meanings of names mean a lot to me too so I'm really glad you mentioned that. We live next to the lake so that makes it fit even more :)

              I think you've got yourself a decision there!

              Middle names are important to me too. The eldest son in my family carries on a traditional middle name. My dad has it and I have it. :D
