Baby's first name will probably be Maria. We are British living in the UK, but Helga is the name of a much loved Danish relative. Can we use it as a middle name, or is it too out there?

As a middle name, sure

It will be a talking point at least.

She’ll probably drop it..

God no

No one really uses middle names so it doesn’t matter what you pick.

This will be one of those that, when friends and colleagues find out what it is, she’ll get teased.

Does that matter? It’s up to you. It’s not life-ending but also it’s not a ‘pretty’ name.

Since most people won’t know what your DD’s middle name is, Helga should be absolutely fine.

Maria is lovely & fairly unusual nowadays.
