Middle Name Choices

I have been planning to name my daughter [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] [name_f]Kate[/name_f] but I heard the name [name_f]Lively[/name_f] as a middle spot and thought it was so pretty. I think [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] [name_f]Lively[/name_f] is unique but not totally weird. I have an unusual, made up middle name that sounds strange and hate it but I really like [name_f]Lively[/name_f]. What are your all’s thoughts?

[name_f]My[/name_f] grandparents and their siblings had more unusual middle names that are not typical names then or now. That’s where I got the inspiration from.

I thought about
[name_f]Josephine[/name_f] [name_f]Lively[/name_f]
[name_f]Josephine[/name_f] [name_f]Lively[/name_f] [name_f]Kate[/name_f]
[name_f]Josephine[/name_f] [name_f]Kate[/name_f]

Thoughts?

[name_f]Lively[/name_f] is super cool! [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] [name_f]Lively[/name_f] is lovely :blush:

As much as I really, really love the name Kate and adore the combo of Josephine Kate …I so agree with this:

Lively is so bright and so nice. I can’t give any reason not to use it—or not to love it! I’m in awe of this name.

[name_f]Josephine[/name_f] [name_f]Lively[/name_f] is fabulous - love it :slight_smile:

I like [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] [name_f]Lively[/name_f]!

[name_f]Josephine[/name_f] [name_f]Lively[/name_f] is gorgeous!

However my only hangup is that I strongly associate [name_f]Lively[/name_f] with the actress (Blake Lively) so I would wonder whether you were honouring her. Of course the actress appears to be truly lovely person I wouldn’t necessarily want to name my child after her. It really depends whether you can get past that association. If you can then [name_f]Lively[/name_f] is perfect but with me I couldn’t so I would go with [name_f]Kate[/name_f]. Also I love [name_f]Kate[/name_f].

[name_f]Josephine[/name_f] [name_f]Lively[/name_f] is so cool! [name_f]Lively[/name_f] is so bright and bubbly and makes a perfect name! You should absolutely go for it

I think I like [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] [name_f]Lively[/name_f] best of the three
