Bird for a middle name??
| Sat, 12-23-2006 - 9:05pm |
Hi Everyone,
We are considering using Bird as the middle name of our daughter, after my sister. This is not my sisters first name but everyone calls her Bird or Birdie (just a nn). Is it too ridiculous?? These are our front runners:
Mia Bird Haley
Mila Bird Haley (meelah)
Any comments/suggestions? Our second choice for a middle name is Rose after my grandmother. I really like it but it is SO common for a mn. Bird might be too out there... I'd love to hear what your thoughts!
Thanks so much

It is very out-there... but after reading your reasoning, I like it. Definately prefer Mia as a first name.

Best of luck!
I'd go for it (Bird) since it's a tribute to a loved one, not just some silly name you made up! It's meaningful.
I like both fns you've chosen, but Mia slightly more.
It's different, but if you love it and want to honor your sister that way I don't see a problem with it. You could also use her given fn or mn, but if no one calls her that I see the point of using the nn.
Another idea that would still honor her might be to use a different "bird" mn:
Lark
Raven
Robin
Sparrow
Aderyn -- Welsh name meaning "bird"
Avis -- Latin for "bird"
Mavis -- from a type of song thrush
Tzipporah/Zipporah -- Hebrew name meaning "bird"
Just to name a few. ;)
You could also use Brid (breej), an Irish form of Bridget, if you want to switch it around a bit.

Combined with the first names you're considering, it reminds me of mynah bird.
