Middle name ,is this really silly?

[CinderToriella]

ok so we have a first name and a last name lol

we want a middle name that means something to us, and we want it to represent our Nan's who have passed

'Betty' and 'Barbara ' for the life of us we cant work out how to combine these names to make a middle name

we have started saying mayb just using 'bei' or bea'

so it would be just like a letter for the middle name

is this silly? can anyone think of any other suggestions ?

I like it

[Traveller]

I think that is lovely, a bit like homer Jay Simpson

[CinderToriella]

I think that is lovely, a bit like homer Jay Simpson

lol well yeah thats true didnt even think of that

we just really want to having our Nan's names in it somehow and this is the only way we can think of getting them both in there.

I think it is lovely idea! FWIW my DH's family has named people after someone by just using the first letter of the name.

its awesome i like Bea just looks a bit better

[ElleJay]

I like Bea, and I think it'll sound lovely

[CinderToriella]

Oh thanks guys

yeah we really like the name Bea as well

but then we added betara to the mix and thats very nice as well
so very confusing

But the main thing is we wanted a middle name that would have something to do with our Nan's that passed and if we couldnt work out how to do it we were not going to have a middle name at all, as we didnt just want to pick anything u know.

Oh so much to decide isnt there

Bea is a lovely name and a great way to pay homage I think.

My middle name is Kay, when I'm asked my full name I often have to say "Kay K - A - Y" so they don't think i'm just giving my initial, but that's no hassle and it sometimes gives people a giggle when they ask "what does the K stand for" and I say "Kay" and they say "yeah what does it stand for" and then it becomes like an Abbot and Costello film!

Bea is definately a nice name will do well as a middle name.

My middle name is Kaye as well and like the PP always have to spell it out when people ask lol

Not sure about Betara, but Beata is definitely a name.
Another combination could be Babette
Is Betty short for Elizabeth?

You woudl always use both names as middle names i.e. Baby Barbara Betty/Elizabeth Surname
