For middle names, as suggested by my DH. I’m actually warming to the idea of maybe [name]Evelyn[/name] [name]Honey[/name] or [name]Rosaline[/name]/[name]Rosalind[/name] [name]Honey[/name], but Darling seems a bit silly to me.
Opinions? Thanks in advance for any replies! x
Darling is a bit silly to me too. For three reasons: I know a few Darling’s (surname), it’s a common term of affection and a word used to describe things.
[name]Honey[/name] is adorable!! I’ve gushed over this middle since [name]Kate[/name] [name]Winslet[/name] named her daughter [name]Mia[/name] [name]Honey[/name]. [name]Rosalind[/name] [name]Honey[/name] would be so beautiful!!
I think both seem cute for middle names.
I quite like [name]Evelyn[/name] [name]Honey[/name]. It may seem a bit cutesy to some, but I’ve heard of enough Honeys now to see it as a proper name (plus it’s #200 in E&W now). I think [name]Amelia[/name] [name]Clara[/name] and [name]Evelyn[/name] [name]Honey[/name] would go very well together 
Darling does seem a bit weird as a proper name. Although it’s a lovely term of endearment, it mainly reminds me of the Blackadder sketches with Fry & McInnerny 
I like the idea of [name]Honey[/name] in the middle spot, but I’m not crazy about Darling. [name]Evelyn[/name] and [name]Rosalind[/name] are solid first names and would pair well with sweet, cutesy [name]Honey[/name]. [name]Rosalind[/name] [name]Honey[/name] is my favorite.
[name]Rosalind[/name] [name]Honey[/name] is so charming, cute, and beautiful!!!
My brother wanted to have two daughters and name them Evanelle [name]Honey[/name] and [name]Lily[/name] [name]Sugar[/name]. He planned to name their brothers [name]Jack[/name] Hickory and [name]James[/name] [name]Rebel[/name]. He actually did name his one son [name]James[/name] [name]Rebel[/name], we call him [name]Ol[/name]’ [name]Reb[/name]. I do not know what we would have nicknamed [name]Honey[/name] and [name]Sugar[/name], but [name]Jack[/name] Hickory just makes me think of barbecue sauce. Anyhow, point is, I would personally save [name]Honey[/name] as a term of endearment and not as a legal middle name.
I agree that Darling sounds a little silly, I would prefer [name]Darla[/name], [name]Evelyn[/name] [name]Darla[/name] or [name]Roselyn[/name] [name]Darla[/name] sound cute
I think anything goes with middle namesake paired with a lovely first they would be fine, especially as most people at her wedding will assume Darling was your maiden name when the vows are made (for instance).
That said, these aren’t my taste and I think there’s a danger that what sounds cute on a tiny tot sounds stripperish or simply childish on an adult - one day she may be a 45 year old civil engineer in charge of a major project - she’s not going to be wanting to be called Darling. In giving our daughters names suitable for home, stage or screen but not for a dentist do we subconsciously send them a message that we don’t see them as a future prime minister or working in a ‘serious’ field?
I grew up knowing an older lady named [name]Honey[/name], and always thought it was such a sweet (pun not intended!) name. As a middle it is perfectly fine.
Darling, on the other hand, is a bit too much for me. I actually think of Lady and the Tramp where the dogs perceive their owners’ names to be “[name]Jim[/name] Dear” and “Darling.”
I’d thought of Darling in the middle before, but alas that faded. I’m not a fan really, it’s silly.
[name]Honey[/name] is lovely though.
I think it’s OK only if you would name a son [name]James[/name] Cutie or [name]Robert[/name] [name]Lovey[/name]. If you’re reserving infantile terms of endearment to girls only, have a think about why.
[name]Rosalind[/name] [name]Honey[/name] is a really beautiful name!
My sister in law’s fake ID in college was a girl named [name]Honey[/name]. My hairstylist also has a friend named [name]Honey[/name] Weiner, unfortunate last name. Anyways, I think they are both cute as nicknames but don’t hold up as names. Darling is an even bigger stretch than [name]Honey[/name].
[name]Honey[/name] is precious. [name]Rosalind[/name] [name]Honey[/name] is a lovely name.
