I think many people won’t notice it, but you probably will and so will a few others. But I think using a name you love is far more important than how it looks on the card. The vast majority of her life her name will be used on it’s own. Pick the name you think we’ll suit your daughter best in life and if a few people notice it so what.
I’m in the same situation as I have one daughter with a 9 letter name, my other 4 kids have 4 or 5 letter names, dh’s name is 6 letters and mine is 5. In my case we intended on calling my daughter [name]Kate[/name] instead of [name]Katharine[/name] but things haven’t worked out quite that way as she prefers to be introduced as [name]Katharine[/name].
