Having got rather intimate with a friend it took us about a month to discuss it. Surprisingly the occasion we got intimate was also the same day we discussed it being a bad idea. Clearly it was on our minds and we still decided to sense out the window.

P.S. it doesn’t have to ruin a friendship but you should consider why it happened as you’re both in committed relationships.

Yes he can control it

I understand. One of my names has been used over 4 generations so far. The other middle name is another one I inherited from an aunt. I’m resigned rather than loving them. My first name is entirely my own.

I just get grumpy when only one of my middle names are used. It’s either both or none. Mum resorted to first name + 3 initials and surname in most cases.

I have two middle names, my mum had three middle names. Paperwork isn’t an excuse/ reason not to add an extra name. Add one to both your kids, or wait until your daughter can voice her opinion.
