What is the opinion on using one child's middle name as another's first name? For example, my first-born is called Mary Margaret but we rarely refer to her as both, 96% of the time she's simply Mary. We're expecting our second daughter now and we were originally going to call her Molly but I asked everyone here what they thought and it ended up getting vetoed. We decided to go with Jane Alice but now we're not sure. Simply put, I'm in love with Margaret and that extended to my love of it's nickname "Molly". My husband is also equally into the name, not surprising, since our first daughter's middle is Margaret.
I know some people do it and it works, like Eva Mendez and Ryan Gosling with daughters Esmerelda Amada and Amada Lee.
Is it bad form or should we go for it? She'll be here in a couple weeks according to the docs, but if she's anything like my older daughter we'll be meeting her sooner.
