What are middle names for?

Middle names are often overlooked, but they’re an important part of a person’s identity. A middle name can be used to honor someone close to you who has passed on or it can help distinguish your child from their siblings.

Middle names can often take mom’s middle name or mother’s maiden name to honor the family tradition. Whilst some family members would love you to keep family names going, you don’t have to at all. You may decide they are too old fashioned, or they may not have special meaning for you.

Here at Mommyandlove, we have compiled some unique and inspiring middles that will match Laura perfectly. Often people can make the middle name a nickname later on or even you can put the initials together to form a new name, for example, Laura Belle could become Labe! 

Research has also indicated that having middle names improves people’s chances of getting a better job in the future! According to a study published in the European Journal of Social Psychology, people who have middle names are believed to have a high social position and to be intellectually superior. 

Multiple middle names are also common, there is no limit to the number of baby names you give your baby girl, go what feels right for you and with a short name like Laura, your child’s middle name can afford to be a bit longer.
