Woodrow as MN?

[agm04]

If this baby is a boy, I would love to use Woodrow as a middle name.  It's both my dad's and my maternal grandfather's (who passed away years ago) middle name, and I love that it could be a nod to both sides of my family.  I'm not sure that I could get DH on board, but what do you guys think?

I like the tie to the important men who helped shape him, who he won't get to meet.

I think it's a great family connection. Flow depends on what you'd want to pair it with.

[honeylemon]

Yes. Family names in the middle spot are always good with me.

[blackbird]

I'm a big fan of family ties/special meaning names in the MN spot.

[seamonster]

I think it's great and MN is a perfect spot to honor people.

[Widget123]

Perfectly fine and appropriate!

[reginaphalange]

I'm pretty much anything goes as a middle name especially if it's a family name so has meaning.

[agm04]

Thanks guys! I never hear it used, but I agree with all of you.

[queenbone]

Definitely yes.

[normadix]

I think it works just fine in the middle name spot.

Agreed.

I flat out told dh that I was choosing the middle name because I took his last name.

Family names are very important to me. All of my names are family ones and on both sides of the family we always use family names for middle names.

He was ok with it and agreed it was fair

Eta: spelling

This is pretty much how I feel - his mom made a big thing about having one of their family names included, but especially since my dad doesn't have any sons, taking my husband's last name was something I did for him and a sacrifice, so this is something I feel pretty strongly about. If we have another girl, I wouldn't use Woodrow. Otherwise I might force it.
