My eldest daughters name is Jemima her middle name is Alice but she tells people it is Puddleduck because I call her that so often. Alice is a family name but also from Alice in wonderland a name I loved but not for a first name.
She loves her name and she is only 6.
My youngest first name is my grandmothers and my mothers name hyphenated and her middle name is my middle name Cherie
I think with a hyphenated first name it was important to also give her a middle name so people didn't think her name was just the first part of the hyphenated name.
Baby in belly will have hubby's middle name if a boy and a random name we like if a girl, it helps keep it flowing because our surname ends in a eeee sound so any first name that ends in a eeee sound needs a buffer.
