[name]One[/name] of my combos invovles [name]Kate[/name] as the second middle name, but I have [name]Katerina[/name] as my third favourite girls name.
I hadn’t realised it until recently, but hypothetically, if I were to have three girls, could I still use [name]Katerina[/name] as a first if her eldest sister’s second middle name is [name]Kate[/name]?
I think so. In a way it’s kind of like honoring the big sister.
I think it works if you make it a theme. [name]Katherine[/name] related middle names. I’m not sure how I’d feel about DD 1 and DD 3 having connected mn’s but DD 2 being left out. But that aside I say why not.
If you’re worried about it, how about [name]Karina[/name], it’s very close to katerina withoute the kate so blatently in it
People do this but I don’t think it is optimal. My daughter’s name is [name]Jacquelyn[/name] [name]Kate[/name] and while [name]Catriona[/name] [name]Poppy[/name] (just made up a combo) works I think that with SO many gorgeous names I would choose something else.
rollo
I guess it could work, as long as [name]Katerina[/name] wouldn’t be nicknamed [name]Kate[/name].
You could make it [name]Katarina[/name] and the names wouldn’t be that close afterall.
I think it´s beautiful to find (even though it´s unintended) a connection between your girls names. I´m considering [name]Sophia[/name] as a first name for one girl and [name]Sophie[/name] as a second name for another girl.
And I agree with the other comments here. You could always change [name]Katerina[/name] to [name]Katarina[/name] or [name]Karina[/name].
I don’t see a problem at all (but I wouldn’t nn [name]Katerina[/name] [name]Kate[/name], though).
Not a problem at all! My mn is the exact same as my sister’s first, never causes a problem (though i do wish my mother was a bit more creative…)
I’d never do it.
I don’t like siblings having variants of the same name. No [name]Seamus[/name] and [name]James[/name] and [name]Jacob[/name], no [name]Elizabeth[/name] and [name]Isabella[/name], and definitely no [name]Kate[/name] and [name]Katerina[/name] which sound a lot alike anyway.
I really love a number of [name]Katherine[/name]-variations myself, but I’m not sure about doubling up even on the ones that sound nothing alike ([name]Reina[/name] and [name]Caitlin[/name]?) much less ones that sound as close as [name]Kate[/name] and [name]Katerina[/name].
Repeated initials bother me a lot less than some Berries, though, I’d have two C’s or two K’s if the names sounded distinct and weren’t variations of the same name.
