Should a baby's middle name be a Saint's name?

[Donna63]

Do Catholics still believe that the middle name of a baby should be a Saint’s name? I was just wondering because my grandbaby is being baptised in a few weeks and I wanted to get her a gift that reflected her middle name, which does happen to be a Saint’s name, Rose. Thank you for your quick response.
