I tried to pick a name that nobody else had and his middle name is his fathers

I am Hispanic and my hubby is Irish so we wanted her name to have both qualities.
Victoria sounds Spanish (Latin)
Rhiannon is Welsh
So we liked how they flowed plus Rhiannon is also a Fleetwood Mac song that we like a lot

Daughter Anikka (husband picked it out) Ree (his mom's first name. Anikka Ree

Son Dakota (I picked out) Allen (husband family name) Bailey (my family name) Dakota Allen Bailey (we couldn't agree on a middle name and since, my husband got to use his mothers name as my daughters middle, I got to do my son's middle name but, still couldn't agree so we gave him two middle names).

My daughters name is Victoria Rose
I read a book when I was younger and one of the characters was named Victoria and her middle name either came from the same book, same character or different one don't quite remeber, or another book. I like to read.
In the end it came down to the only name we could agree on.

My oldest and youngest children's middle names are family names. The rest are out of baby name books

My Daughters and son's First names are just names that I liked but their middle names are family names my Daughters is the same as mine and my moms middle names and my great aunts first name, I would have used it as her first name but we felt that it was too long. Our sons middle name is my husbands first name and his father's middle name.
