How to Choose a Middle Name
Since it plays a supportive role, THE MIDDLE NAME should not be chosen until the first name is in place. The middle name seldom stands alone, yet it establishes the energetic influence around one’s self image. Select a middle name with careful regard for the initials and their connotations. Steer clear of negative associations like B.U.M or S.A.D. But more importantly, be sure the middle initial strengthens the full name whenever it is used.
The adoption a middle name to simply honor a relative or to pass on family tradition could be a disservice to your child. This is akin to insisting your son or daughter play a musical instrument that is permanently out of tune because it once belonged to a grandparent or cherished friend. It might well be that a particular name provides a strong influence as a first name, but plays a weakening role when in a secondary position. Since the full name affects job, career and finances, giving your baby the best possible middle name and initial is an excellent investment in his or her future.
