How to officially register Megan Rose

61 replies

We've recently welcomed our little girl into the world and need to register her name officially soon. Would you register Megan as her first name and Rose as her middle name or write Megan-Rose as the first name with no middle name? If the latter, would you need to write the hyphen?

Love the name but living with a hyphenated is a real pain, I have one! Go for rose as a middle name imo

Thanks! Excuse my ignorance perhaps but what's the issue with the hyphen? Does ut confuse people?

So with Rose as the middle name, would we introduce her as just Megan when saying her first name? We'd like both parts said as her first name - wouldn't be a mouthful right since it's not long?

No hyphen

Rose as middle name

Gorgeous name

I would have Rose as the middle name

Sweet names.

I'd keep them as first name and middle name, no hyphen.

Yep

Hyphens are the work of the devil and you don’t want her in the Lexi-Mai camp

Hyphenated names are a pain in the butt. One of my friends has one and insistent on them both being used and it's such a mouthful, I use her initials instead. She prefers that to just the first part of her name.
