Re: Thoughts on These?
in reply to a message by WyMan
I like the reason behind the double middle name tradition. I'm not generally a fan of two middle names, but if there is a reason like and I think it's good. Especially if they hyphenate well like that.(Had our third been a girl, she would have been Mattea Ruth-Anne. Ruth for my mom and Anne for my husband's.) The one thing I would think about is how many children you plan/hope/think you might have. Is this a tradition you could carry on? Are there enough names that you like and would use? Would you want to give both fathers' names away at once? :)Theodore Jean-Pierre is great. Also, Theodore Jean would be great too.
Sebastien Henry Marshall is nice enough. Do the middle names have any significane? I ike Sebastien Marshall better.
I prefer Theodore over Sebastien.
Vera Theresa Renee flows well. I don't really like Vera, but the combo works.
Sylvie Tecla Leslie doesn't flow nearly as well, but I like Sylvie way better than Vera. How about Sylvie Tecla Renee or Sylvie Theresa Renee?Three boys nappin', one mama namenerdin'

Henry was my Great Grandfather's name. Marshall is her brother and grandmother's middle names. Theresa is her mother's name and Renee is my mother's middle name. Tecla is my Great Nonna's name and Leslie is her middle name and her Grandfather's name. Her family is French and our kids would go to a french school which is why we would choose the french spelling. :)
