Is this name to American for living in the UK?

She could be on Teen Mom with that name.

Savannah Kaitlynne surname is fine. Sure the spelling is very American but there is a very good reason...but Dallas in there too is too much. Naming kids after places, especially places they were conceived, is odd and unnecessary IMO. If I were you I would drop the Dallas.

Yes it sounds American and that's fine; however would suggest Savannah Kaitlynne Dallas as someone further up the post suggested. To me Savannah Dallas Kaitlynne has a geographical feel to it.

Two middle names is a lot but if you're going to have two, surely have one to honour your DHs family/heritage and one for your family/heritage. I imagine your parents are feeling that your side of the family is being pushed out.

My two have one middle name each, and one is from DHs side, one is my maiden name.

Oh dear.

I will remind you that you specifically asked for opinions .....

It's absolutely awful. It's atrocious and it sounds like the sort of child who gets injected with Botox at three and dragged around the beauty pageant circuit to support Momma's slot machine habit. I would expect to see a child named Savannah Dallas Kaitlynne in fake tan and glittery high heeled shoes at five, a padded bra at nine, and two kids and an alcohol problem at seventeen.

It's so trailer trash it's comedic. Don't do it. At least, at the very least, drop Dallas. There is a well known porn film called Debbie Does Dallas, don't make your daughter gain that nickname at high school.

well, you asked for opinions, and yes it is very American. I'd drop Dallas and go with Savannah Kaitlynne.

Seeing as you asked for oppinions, my own personal oppinion is that they're all bloody awful names. And in my, again asked for, oppinion, they do scream trailer trash/chav/illiterate etc. Because if people don't know you or your reasons for choosing them and only see the names written down or called out, then that's exactly what they're going to think, I promise you. MN can be very irght on at times but Joe Public? Not so much.

I am the only foreign parent up at the school, hard to think of any other foreign adults locally. Savannah would be fine around here (fits with the little Zarannes & Sarayas...) & nobody but relatives would remember the middle names, anyway. That said...

Debbie does Dallas screams to mind, sorry.

I think where you touched a nerve is by not honouring both sides, nothing in the names seems to come from her British heritage. conservative with a small c, all that.

the spelling Kaitlynne drives me batty but I understand: am American too, and my dad/DS2 middle name is a similar bizarre spelling on an ordinary name, there's a whole funny story behind our strange spelling.

I'd get rid of Dallas.

its your baby, and the name is fine.

Love the name savannah, and how special to have middle names that mean so much!

I think it's quite a nice name. I do prefer Dallas on the end, though. Savannah. Kaitlynne Dallas.

I like Savannah!
Granted, she is a much wanted baby and was concieved in Dallas, BUT, do you really need to call her after the place? What if she would have been concieved during a holiday to Saudi Arabia or the falkland islands? Would you have called her that?
Personally, naming children after dead relatives is not my thing but I can understand why your DH wants to do so, and it is a lovely name.

^ damn auto correct

I like the name Savannah.

I like the name Caitlin, but not with the alternative spelling I'm afraid. I can understand using it to honour your late sil, but you have to think about how you will feel explaining the name to others as you have said it wouldn't be your personal first choice. Don't use a name you are not 100% sure about.

I wouldn't definitely not use 'Dallas'. There is no need.

merry makes a good point actually. Have you thought about putting something from your family in there?

Sprinkle, you asked for people's opinions. Why bother? You're not going to change your mind. You were never going to change your mind. You don't care what people's opinions are. That's absolutely fine. You love the names, you want to call your dd those names.

I think: why not? The middle names will be important to no-one except her, and there's a lovely history there.

Just wonder though if your family's apparent bitteness is because there is nothing in her name to do with your family. If she is a long awaited baby, maybe they feel like it is all about your dh, is history and his family. Do they feel you are getting lost in him?

If I were you, I would dump the Dallas (which imo is the worst of the names) and put something in that has relevance to your history or your family, like your maiden name or your grandmother's name or whatever. That way you have something of you in there.

Sorry, OP - I love when names have meaning behind them. I think your choices are lovely, particularly the part that's after your dh's sister.

It's a beautiful way to give your daughter a strong connection to her auntie.

Yes, 'trailer trash' is offensive. Ridiculous that anyone should have to be told that.

Living in a trailer, probably because that's what he or she can afford, does not make a person 'trash'. Neither does being American. Neither does having a name that is not to your taste.

Grow up.

I would have Dallas at end rather than the middle. Savannah kaitlynne Dallas.

I do prefere this spelling rather than Caitlin.

I think it's beautiful. Especially having understood the reasons for your choices.

I would agree with toobreathless
