Thank you Legaleagle48 and Johanan, that’s what I thought (and later read in various articles).
The gift my wife and I gave each other this year was opening up a box with the results of what sex our baby is (expecting in May, it’s our first child). We’re having a boy and we love the name Calvin - not after Calvin & Hobbes directly, but I admit I have a genuine adoration for the comic strip and saw a lot of myself as a boy in Calvin’s character and always thought if I had a son, he’d be like Calvin!
So being careful not to make such a direct link, we wanted to make sure we didn’t give him a middle name that was by coincidence the same as the cartoon strip because then it would just be creepy!

Good to know, we’re free to pick a middle name!
Thanks for the responses, Happy New Year- G
