Poll: my daughters middle name

I’ve posted before about naming my daughter after my grandmother, but my grandmothers name (Jane) is not very melodic with the first name. Her maiden is maybe an option - Milliken. Her full name was Mary Jane. Another option is my name, Michelle. But I don’t feel particularly excited about giving a daughter my name. Would love to see which option has your vote!

Maybe [name_f]Millie[/name_f] could be an honor option? Like [name_u]Blair[/name_u] [name_f]Millie[/name_f] [name_m]Frederick[/name_m]?

I think [name_f]Jane[/name_f] [name_u]Blair[/name_u] [name_m]Frederick[/name_m] works the best, but maybe you want a different version of [name_f]Jane[/name_f] to be an honor name?

[name_u]Blair[/name_u] [name_f]Joanna[/name_f] [name_m]Frederick[/name_m] or [name_u]Blair[/name_u] [name_f]Giovanna[/name_f] [name_m]Frederick[/name_m] flow better than [name_u]Blair[/name_u] [name_f]Jane[/name_f]. Also [name_u]Blair[/name_u] [name_f]Jeanette[/name_f] [name_m]Frederick[/name_m] works well too, and could be a nod to your name, [name_f]Michelle[/name_f], since it’s a [name_u]French[/name_u] version of [name_f]Jane[/name_f].

[name_u]Blair[/name_u] [name_f]Jane[/name_f]!

I think something like [name_u]Blair[/name_u] [name_f]Millie[/name_f] would work

I really like Milliken! I’d be tempted to consider [name_f]Millie[/name_f] too maybe… [name_u]Blair[/name_u] [name_f]Millie[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f], [name_f]Millie[/name_f] [name_u]Blair[/name_u]. I like [name_f]Michelle[/name_f] too but if you’re meh about it then I wouldn’t go that route.

I don’t hear a problem with [name_u]Blair[/name_u] [name_f]Jane[/name_f]. [name_f]Blare[/name_f] [name_f]Milli[/name_f] is super cute.

Milliken is so lovely! Flowed very nicely with [name_u]Blair[/name_u] as well. :smiling_face:

I really like [name_u]Blair[/name_u] Milliken! [name_f]My[/name_f] daughter’s middle name is a family surname so I’m biased, but I think it’s a great way to tie family history to the name in a unique way. You won’t have to worry about her first/middle combo being trendy or dated.

[name_u]Blair[/name_u] Milliken would be so amazing! :heart_eyes:

I vote for Milliken! That is a sweet, unique, and meaningful name. I would love a middle name that cool.
