Pressure on Middle Names
| Sat, 03-18-2006 - 12:02pm |
Both sets of parents are strongly hinting that they would like their grandchild named after them. Problem is that I don't particularly like any of their names. Do you think I could get away with combining the names of the grandmothers for a girl and the grandfathers for a boy, or would all four of them feel ripped off? Has anyone ever done this?
The dads are Wayne and Edi, and I was thinking "Edwin" as a middle name for a boy.
The moms are Ivana and Diane and I was thinking "Viviane" as a middle name for a girl.
I just can't picture using any of these names in their original form. It's either combining them or using my mom's middle name (Christine) for a girl and naming it after my brother for a boy (Jamie).
WDYT?

Wow ... I think those combos would work great as mns! Lucky you they work out that way! ;) Good job, IMO, and I think it would please everyone.

I like the combo names that you've come up with (ingenious names really, considering what you were working with), and I've known people to do this in the past.
unless you LOVE those names, I'd stay clear of family names. cant please them all ya know? name your child what you want, they had their turn. Family names are nice but not when you are pressured into it., JMHO. espcially if you arent in love with the names.
edited to say: however, the way that you have combined the names is very nice. You came up with combos that work well.
