Middle name AND first name?

I took my two favorite names and combined them for my first daughter, [name_f]Maple[/name_f] [name_f]Violet[/name_f]. Now I am having another girl and wish I hadn’t used [name_f]Violet[/name_f] in the middle!

[name_m]How[/name_m] weird/wrong would it be to use [name_f]Violet[/name_f] as the new baby’s name? It’s not like we ever use the middle name anyway.

I wouldn’t do it. There are thousands of names out there! There have to be another two names you will love as much. You just have to open yourself up to them and enjoy the process of finding new name loves.

I have to agree. While I dont think it would be tragic, I think you should expand your horizons to some new names. This is one of those tricky name battles; to use what you love in case you never have more kids, or save some faves for future sibs.

There are so many great sibling names for [name_f]Maple[/name_f] – [name_f]Olive[/name_f], [name_f]Viola[/name_f], [name_f]Junia[/name_f], [name_u]Juniper[/name_u], [name_u]Vesper[/name_u], [name_m]Vine[/name_m], [name_f]Coral[/name_f], [name_f]Fauna[/name_f], [name_f]Hazel[/name_f], [name_f]Laurel[/name_f], [name_f]Azalea[/name_f], [name_f]Willow[/name_f], [name_f]Fern[/name_f], [name_u]Ember[/name_u], [name_f]Lilac[/name_f], [name_f]Poppy[/name_f].

Give her her own name

I agree! She needs her own name. I have struggled with this same thing, but there’s a whole world of names out there. I think [name_f]Flora[/name_f] would be so pretty with [name_f]Maple[/name_f].
