Its a long-standing tradition in my family that the middle name is family name. Our son’s name is [name]Jackson[/name] [name]Fielding[/name] (used for generations on my grandfather’s side) and I wanted to use a middle name for a girl that was just as special with just as much history. Unfortunately, our female family names of [name]Ann[/name] and [name]Catherine[/name] don’t really pack much of a punch to me so I looked outside the box.
My great-grandmother’s maiden name was [name]Montgomery[/name] and I’ve recently fallen in love with the idea of pairing it with feminine classic for a combo all her own. I never met my great-grandmother but she was a strong, creative, artistic woman who’s creations still hang in our house and I think it would thrill my grandmother beyond words.
What do you think? Can [name]Montgomery[/name] be feminine in the right context?
I was thinking:
[name]Annabelle[/name] [name]Montgomery[/name] V________
[name]Elizabeth[/name] [name]Montgomery[/name] V_______
[name]Amelia[/name] [name]Montgomery[/name] V_______
I think [name]Montgomery[/name] is cute as a MN since it honors family. [name]Elizabeth[/name] [name]Montgomery[/name] and [name]Jackson[/name] [name]Fielding[/name] sound like an adorable sibset!!
I love maiden names as first/middle names, and I love the idea of [name]Montgomery[/name] for your daughter’s middle name. I know that I certainly would appreciate that sort of connection with a great-great-grandmother.
[name]Jackson[/name] [name]Fielding[/name] and [name]Amelia[/name] [name]Montgomery[/name] would be stunning. [name]Jackson[/name] and [name]Amelia[/name] are great together.
Thanks so much for the great feedback! I thought it sounded so nice with all of our top choices, but it’s always comforting to get an objective opinion.
I think it works well with all your names. I’d just be wary of anything too ‘M’ heavy in the first name position. [name]Elizabeth[/name] [name]Montgomery[/name] is gorgeous.
I like all of your girls names but I just wanted to say that [name]Elizabeth[/name] Mongomery was the actress who played [name]Samantha[/name] on Bewitched.
I like [name]Montgomery[/name] as a MN. What about…
