Helga??

[namechooser]

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?

I have an 80's first name and a very old lady middle name which I hated as a child but love as an adult because it's linked to a beloved relative who is no longer with us now.
Think along the lines of Jennifer Mildred or Lauren Agatha.

Maria is lovely as a first name and if the middle name is meaningful she'll grow into it, I would go with Maria Helga.

I think it's fine as a middle name. Usually we don't even know other people's middle names so if it means something to you, go with it. Maria is nice and not very common at the moment. I went to school with lots of Marias but I'm late 30s, you don't hear it much with little kids these days.

Maria Helga is strong and lovely, as is Helga Maria.

Came on to say this!

I thought she was a brilliant character tbf
