Less than 4 weeks until my due date and we still haven't been able to figure out a middle name for our baby girl!

My grandmas name was Doreen and I'd love to have something similar. I've considered "Dora" but the baby's first name ends in "a" and I think it sounds too similar.

Does anyone have any ideas please?Smile

My friend wanted to name her daughter after her grandma Doreen and called her Dolly (her actual nickname!)

You know what, just use Doreen. You'll be ahead of the curve - names always come back - and no one uses middle names anyway. What a lovely reason!

Did your grandma have a middle name?

Or maybe Dorothy/Dorothea?
