Namechanged as this could out me!
So when DD was born we gave her a very safe some would say boring middle name. Then two years later had DS and couldn't choose between two middle names, so just thought what the heck and gave him both.
Never really thought about this until the last year or so, and then felt quite bad about making them different and 'uneven' IYSWIM. And then by complete coincidence DD recently commented about the difference.
So, DH and I have agreed that if she wants to she can choose another middle name and if we can, we will change it by deed poll. I don't know, maybe it's crazy and I haven't mentioned it to her yet, but if we could go ahead, I know she would be giddy with excitement.
We've said we would come up with a list of names for her to choose from.
Something a little 'out there' perhaps (DS' first middle name is unusual), and I know she would want/choose something quite pretty. I was thinking something musical or art related would really suit her but most of the associations I have are male (eg Vincent for her favourite artist ... or Banksy :o)
So far:
Melody (my middle name, she likes it)
Clara (nutcracker - although she would probably most associate it with the barbie version :o)
Dorothy (favourite book character)
Elise (one of her favourite pieces is Für Elise)
Rowan (just because I like it!)
Alison (my Nan's name)
I can't really think of many girls names generally, all the names I've fallen for recently have been for boys (Tristan, Elias, Benedict to name a few)
Thanks if you got to the end of that waffle - any suggestions please? :)
