[name]Donahue[/name] was my great-grandfather’s middle name, and I really like it. What are your thoughts on it? [name]Do[/name] you think it could work as a first name, or should it be kept in the middle name spot?

Also, what are some possible nicknames for [name]Donahue[/name]?

Note: I’m not pregnant, I just love names!

I like it. It’s a family name and not very common but not unheard of. Obvious nicknames would be [name]Don[/name] or [name]Donny[/name].

I think it would be cool and unique. I love that its a family name for you. I agree that the obvious nn would be [name]Don[/name] or [name]Donny[/name]. [name]Huey[/name] could also work, but I prefer [name]Don[/name] personally.
