Is it dumb to reuse sons middle name in the future for second sons first name?

Question

I stupidly used the only 2 boy names I liked on my son (one for first and the other as the middle name) and now I want to reuse the middle name in the future if I have a second son as his first name. For example if my first sons name was Joseph Michael, my second sons first name would be Michael (middle name not determined).

Answer

I think names should be individual. 
You don't want him to think "why is my name my brothers middle name" which he is bound to eventually

Answer

it's fine so long as you don't put the middle name as Joseph lol.

Answer

I am thinking about doing the same thing with my son's name. He is Robert Vincent and if my I have another boy (pregnant now and not finding out the gender) I am thinking about Vincent for his first name.

Answer

Not at all :) I actually know a family that intentionally did this and it was super cute! They had: Christopher James, James Joshua, and Joshua Matthew

Answer

I actually know a pair of brothers and the one has the same middle name as his brothers first name. I thought it was kind of cool.

Answer

My husband and his brother share the same middle name "David"

Answer

I don't think it's weird! My parents did that.

Answer

who cares, its your kids!

Answer

I'd want my kids to have their own names.

Answer

I know 2 brothers that are called Paulo Sérgio and Marco Paulo. I personally find this a bit funny lol. On the other hand there are families that have the same middle name for all the boys like João, and for all the girls Joana(like me I know but it's not my family). But seriously every single person of this family has those names (cousins, uncles, brothers, sisters, it's whatever!). It's a family tradition though so makes sense but still a bit weird.
