Should we keep our M middle name theme for our girls. It was purely a coincidence that it happened. [name]Madison[/name] was after my brother and [name]Mariah[/name] was after his sister. There are no ore M family names to use, not really any family names left that we were close enough with to use their names. So should we use M names for the middle name for these twins or should we move on and use names that we like better?
I think that if both of the babies are girls then you could easily run with whatever middle names you wanted because they are a pair by themselves. If only one is a girl you might want to consider another M initial for cohesiveness, but honestly I wouldn’t pass on the perfect name just because it didn’t start with the right letter.
I think you could really go either way. Your boys don’t have “M” mns, so it wouldn’t look out-of-place if your twins don’t have them, and you already have the whole cowboy/cowgirl thing going on so I don’t think people would really notice the MN thing unless they just saw the names of your girls. If you want to keep using family MNs, I would just try to find family names that work with the FNs you like the best, or pick two family names for each gender you like best, and try to find FNs that work with them.
[name]Do[/name] you have FNs picked yet? I’ve seen you talk about [name]Boone[/name] and [name]Delaney[/name] quite a bit… if you do want to stick to the “M” thing for girls, [name]Delaney[/name] [name]Melissa[/name], [name]Delaney[/name] [name]Meredith[/name], [name]Delaney[/name] [name]Margaret[/name], etc., would be pretty.
Good luck!
I agree with both PP’s. If you only have one girl, it might leave her out but since [name]Dean[/name] and [name]Russell[/name] don’t have M name MN’s so she probably would not feel left out. I think as long as you stay with the cowboy/cowgirl/western theme that you will be fine either way
I don’t think twins are in danger of feeling left out. I say use the names you love, and don’t worry about sharing a middle initial.
Thanks all! We are almost sure that if one of the twins is a girl we are going with [name]Delaney[/name]. We don’t know what to do with the MN though. I really like the suggestion of [name]Delaney[/name] [name]Meredith[/name]!
