Question:
If I use Elisabeth as a mn for a 1st hypothetical daughter, can I use it again as a fn for a 2nd hypothetical daughter? My DH's family always has boys, and he loves the name Elisabeth. He wants to use it for daughter #1, just in case there is not a daughter #2...but if there is a daughter #2, he would like it as a fn. Sorry if that is confusing. We won't be TTC until August though, and I think we are going to try for a girl specifically (since there are so many boys). For #2 (whenever that is) we will just try for either.
For example:
Rory Elisabeth & Elisabeth Lee
Thanks,
Tracy

I could see doing this if you only planned to have one baby, named _______ Elizabeth, then by chance or choice you had a second and just felt compelled to use Elizabeth as a FN. I think it could be kind of sweet for sisters to share a name like that, especially when it obviously means so much to you and your DH. Some siblings share the same mn, so I don't really see a problem with one having it as a FN and one as a MN. But truthfully,

I see your dilemma! Since Rory is even more important than Elisabeth, I do like Rory Elisabeth or even a longer version like
