Double first names?
| Mon, 11-27-2006 - 10:11pm |
I'd like to get some thoughts/opinions on double first names. I've been thinking about them more recently because I have a student (10th grade) named Jane Katherine, and I really like it. I've been trying to think of some other "original" combinations that sound good together, especially for girls.
Of course there are the obvious ones like Ann, Lynn, Lee, etc. added to anything. But what are some more interesting/ less common ones that you have seen or just think would be nice?
One of the top names on my list is Tessa, and I think it could be nice w/ a combo such as Tessa Kate (but I don't want to use Kate b/c it's SIL's top choice).
What do you think?

This topic interests me a great deal. One of the girl's names on our short list is Ivy Beth. If we put Ivy and Beth in the fn box on the birth certificate, will that make her fn Ivy Beth even if there is a space between the names? We have a seperate middle name picked out.
Some of the other double names I've seen:
Mary Grace
Maisie Rose
Dana May (or Mae, I never saw it written)

From what I remember, yes. Whatever you put in the fn box is exactly what the fn will legally be. So Ivy Beth (fn) followed by the mn you have chosen. I'm sure she'd still get simply "Ivy" once in a while (say, at the doctor's office or something), but legally both would be her fns.
FWIW, school's are very accepting/understanding of name preference -- most even have you fill out a short form listing the child's full given name and any short forms or nns they would prefer to be called -- so it really shouldn't be that big a deal in her daily life. From what I understand, the teachers receive copies of these forms and actually list the child on the roll as, for example, Mary Jane, Mary, Mary J., M.J., Molly or whatever her preferred name might be (or ask about it on the first day and make a notation at that time).
Ivy's always been a favorite of mine, btw. Lovely. ;)
