If you really want to honor her then legally use it as a first name. Trey is a very appropriate substitution (and nice sounding). Trey Xavier M.... I always like 4 letter names for boys for some reason. Girls can handle long names. Plus, in arizona there are so many boys named xavier (there is even a girl's school in phoenix called xavier). I vote for Trey, your family will appreciate it and see a little of your mom in him everytime they hear it and have inside meaning. Xavier, a Catholic latino name, will please his family more and gives him an external label without getting to know him first.
My 3rd child's midle name wasn't given till almost a week later (i wanted to use my brothers middle name and waited for permission, which i finally got. Even though i knew he was going to say yes i still thought it best to ask for the long run). You just need the names before you leave the hospital otherwise there is an extra step, a hassle, for the birth certificate.

A middle name is a great way to honor someone and have an unusual name b/c your child will rarely use it but it will still be special.

Personally, I like Xavier Trace so I say go for it! It's not like you will have Trace and Tracy hanging out together.... both middle names and both honoring someone very special to the parents.

My brother and I both have the same middle name for our daughters in honor of our mother who passed away when we were 16 and 18. At first I thought he and his wife would be upset about it..not sure why cause we get along so great...anyway they thought it was really awesome. It was an emotional moment between the two of us. We decided that it's a family name and hope our kids will use it to. My niece thinks it's really cool that her and her cousin have the same middle name.

Sounds great together! Go for it!

I gave my daughter a middle name to honor my deceased mother and I'm so glad I did.

I think its great that you want to honor your mom that way. BTW, I have known men named Tracy so its not like you are giving him the middle hame Jennifer or something. Middle names don't matter so much really. My brother's fiancee's middle name is George. As long as its not offensive, pick what you like!

I love the name Trace! Even for a first name! That is so strong and not like like an overdone one. I like Chase as well or last names like Reed, Foster,
etc..

I like your idea!! Go with it...What a way to honor your Mom!!!!

I think it sounds great together. The cousins will have similar middle names but who uses middle names all the time anyway. They will have a common bond with the grandma they never got to meet.

Trace is okay but I think I like Trey or Tyce better. I think the "Tr" beginning will still honor your mother. It's a personal choice though so you should choose a name that you feel comfortable with and enjoy.

Congratulations on the upcoming arrival of little Xavier!

Xavier Trace M

I think it sounds really good!

My first daughter's middle name was for my MIL, who passed awhile I was pregnant. And this baby is they are a girl (find out Tuesday) will have my and my mother's middle names together.

Since it would be your niece and your son's middle names, I wouldn't be concerned AT ALL! I think it's a sweet tie between them and to their grandmother they never got to know.

I don't care for it.
But again, not many people will know his middle name... it would be a name a kid would be teased for.
But I have a weird middle name too.

Xavier is nice.
Xaiver is a French name.

I think your name choice is a great one! You have to go with your gut or you will always second guess yourself. Middle names are a great way to honor family members no longer with us. My daughters middle name is a combination of my husbands middle name and my (passed) mother's middle name. So go for it! I also like Scarlett's suggestion that would be a good one too.

I love your idea! We always give our children family names for their middle names to honor various family members. Congratulations on your upcoming baby!

I like it and it should not matter that your brother used the name. You are both just trying to honor your mother.

That's a cute name! I think Trace is a great way of modernizing and masculinating Tracy.

Use Trace its good. I have the same middle name as all my sisters and 2 of my girl cousins it's no big deal. I am sure your brother would not be offended

Xavier Trace is a beautiful name, made even more beautiful because of its meaning. Best wishes for you and your son.

Sounds good to me!.

Don't worry about it sounding similar to your niece. Middle names in my family span generations and siblings.

If it does concern you, other choices could be
Robert
Michael
Thomas

I think it would help to know how many syllables are in your last name.
