Middle names to honour our Mums!

[Carriecotz]

Excited to be having twin girls!
Opinions on the below names please!

Both middle names are my Mum’s and MIL’s names

Clara Florence

Rosa Jannette

Thanks!

Congratulations! Clara Florence was almost my daughters name but we changed the first name. I'm a big fan of your choices

Lovely names. Good luck with the birth!

Very nice! It isn’t often this happens on this board.

They are both lovely x

I'm sorry but I only see cheeky fucker (CF) when looking at Clara Florence but that is probably just me spending too much time on mumsnet.

Really like these names. I like them as stand alone names but I also like that Clara and Rosa sound good together too. I also like the floral link "across" the names of Florence and Rosa. Really lovely.

I think janette is the only fly in the ointment.
But I’d go with it anyway. Love Florence.

Lovely names. Congratulations

I used my mums name as a middle name I really regret it. She doesn't bother with my daughter now and it's awkward when she asks why she even has her name in her name

Love love love! Clara and Rosa are names that I love so much. I love the middle names too.
My daughters middle name is Elizabeth and that's my mums name and my MIL middle name! Two birds one stone!. It's a really lovely and I think the names sounds beautiful.

I love Clara Florence.

Lovely names!

They're really lovely names. Congratulations!

Beautiful names and so lovely to honour both mums.

Lovely names maybe the spelling of Jeanette is a little softer that way?

I named my 4 week old first daughter after my mum she died 6 weeks before I gave birth and we were best friends I thought that way she will always have a part of her Grandma x

Really really great names.

Nice names.

Thanks all. However, ellaandthebella - no need to swear on this thread. Unnecessary and bears no correlation to the post.

I’m happy the vast majority of you like the names so we are going ahead with them! 😁

@Carriecotz, Ella is alerting you to a possibly unfortunate connotation of the initials CF. They can also stand for other not-great terms, but that’s the case for a lot of initials including F.

BlenheimOrange. I just didn’t think it necessary.
Swear words begin with lots of letters after all!

ellaandthebella - any need, really?!
