They are pretty names, for some reason I always here them as French though?

I guess they are actually 'old english' names?

> sorry got me started again but I do love names ;o)

Ok ... you said it ... I'm having terrible dilemmas about Babi's name, her

first name will be Nia (pronounced Near) but it's the middle names ... both

and Mari have two middle names:

Francis

Mari Sian Rhosyn

The first name purely by choice the other names are family names. Mari's

2nd name is my middle name and her 3rd name was my maternal grandmother. I

want Nia to have her 2nd name after me and her 3rd name after her paternal

grandmother to follow the same pattern so potentially:

Nia Madlen

Nia Jenni Madlen

Nia Gwenni Madlen

Nia Gwenhwyfar Madlen

Nia Gwennan Madlen

Nia Sian Madlen

HELP >>>>>>>> problem is I don't think any of them 'run' nicely together

>>>>>>> any different combinations/ideas etc. welcome/needed ... unless I come

up with something I'm going to lose this battle as Gethyn wants her to just

have one middle name because he thinks two are excessive but I'd hate her to

think we ran out of names when we got to her!!

I like Nia Madlen The best just flows beautifully together

;o)..

W regards to Phoebe and Eloisa.. Phoebe is Greek and Eloisa is either Hebrew (if

you take it from coming from ) or Teutonic (if coming from Louise)

Phoebe and Eloise where both names that was popular in shall we say upper class

families around 1900.. (so making me feel we should go for another name like it

if its a girl but dh doesn't see it <g>)

BTW I love the name Nia I know a little girl called Nia and I just adore it so

pretty and sweet..

My therapist told me the way to achieve true inner peace is to finish what you

start.

So far today, I have finished 2 bags of chips and a Chocolate cake.

I feel better already.

Just posted on this! think Gethyn just feels it's " over the top " !

personally I like giving 3 names because I like to use family names. When I

register them for school etc. I actually only use their first and surnames.

I was able to give Mari 2 middle names because I said if we called her:

Mari Rhosyn it would translate in English to Rose and Gethyn

didn't like that so I slipped Sian in too and I think he was fed up arguing

by that stage anyhow

I think she's got a beautiful name - lucky girl!

(whose always felt that her own name is brown and pointed)

We had the three names battle. DH has three names and said people

laugh - my sister (also three names) pointed out they were laughing

because the third name is Barry. And once one has three names, the

others have to have three (I envy my younger sister her three!) We

also worked it out so that the rhythm of the names is the same for

both, and the 'period' is the same.

It was very noticeable when I worked as a chartered accountant that you had to

have three names to make it to the top - all the partners (or so it seemed) in

KPMG, London had 3 initials.
