Hello,
We are still in need of a name for dd#2. Our first daughter is [name_f]Ada[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f]. We haven’t been able to find ‘the one’ for dd#2 and thought I would try another approach with confirming her middle name as [name_f]Alexandra[/name_f] (my husband’s middle name is [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] and mine is [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] so this way each kid will have the same middle as one of the parents).
So for siblings: [name_f]Ada[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] and ______ [name_f]Alexandra[/name_f], what would you pick?! Our last name is two syllables and starts with H.
Thanks everyone :). By the way - we have thought of [name_f]Kate[/name_f] [name_f]Alexandra[/name_f] or [name_f]Grace[/name_f] [name_f]Alexandra[/name_f]. [name_f]My[/name_f] father-in-law doesn’t like the name [name_f]Grace[/name_f] (it was his mother’s name) but we do. Would you still use a name a close family member didn’t like?
I like [name_f]Ada[/name_f] and [name_f]Grace[/name_f] and [name_f]Grace[/name_f] [name_f]Alexandra[/name_f] works well. It depends on how much you see you f-in-law and his personality. If you think he’ll get over it once he meets the baby, I wouldn’t worry about it. The first name I thought of was [name_f]Mae[/name_f] [name_f]Alexandra[/name_f] or [name_f]Mary[/name_f] [name_f]Alexandra[/name_f].
If he just didn’t like the name, I would still use it, but if he doesn’t like it because of a bad memory/ association that may be painful, I wouldn’t. It is the same circumstance with me: I love [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f], but could never ever use it, because one of my parents was adopted, and their biological mother’s name is [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f]- it ultimately proves too painful to them.
[name_f]Grace[/name_f] is beautiful! I say use it if you love it:)
I saw the name [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] [name_f]Alexandra[/name_f] yesterday in the restoration hardware catalog and I fell in love! Hubby did too-I sort of wish we’d thought of it!!
Good luck!

Thanks so much for the feedback and suggestions. We found out that my father in law doesn’t not like the name he just isn’t a fan of naming a baby after someone in particular (His mothers name is [name_f]Grace[/name_f]). So now we are heavily leaning to [name_f]Grace[/name_f] [name_f]Alexandra[/name_f] for this little one.
[name_f]Kate[/name_f] [name_f]Alexandra[/name_f] is beautiful. I would consider using a name a family member didn’t like, but if there are other names you’re just as happy with, I’d lean toward them. It’s one thing for a family member not to like a name, but it’s another thing for that family member to not like it because of a negative association with his mother. That’s a bit more serious and I’d be more sympathetic to his feelings.
[name_f]Ada[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] and [name_f]Grace[/name_f] [name_f]Alexandra[/name_f] are wonderful. Like people have said, if there are painful/negative connotations with the name [name_f]Grace[/name_f] then avoid it. If he’s just being awkward, go for it.
Other names I like are…
