double names: wdyt?
| Fri, 03-03-2006 - 2:49pm |
Ok, I have to admit, I am from the south and have an affinity for both the use of family names and double names. I am trying to talk my husband into naming our next llittle girl: Anna Catherine and calling her Anna Catherine. My question is this: would Catherine have to be her middle name or is there a way to make Anna Catherine her first name legally? Do people ever hyphenate and then use another mn? Example: Anna-Catherine York + last name. I've always thought 4 names was too many in our culture (after all, I'm not royalty!) What does this mean for initials? Would her initials be ACP or ACYP (stupid!) or AYP? Last name is Precourt. General discussion encouraged.

A?Y. Anna Kate is cute too, but I like either Anna, Catherine, or Anna Catherine MUCH better, for what it's worth. Good luck!
The funniest thing is that I'm not even Catholic! And I would never assume that a little baby is a nun, of course.
Good luck talking your husband into the name you love! That's always such a chore. Of course, I've found that sometimes if you don't mention it for a couple days and then bring it up again they all of a sudden LOVE the name, like it was their own idea or something. Or maybe I just have a loopy husband.
Can't wait to see what you decide!
