Rosemarie Sienna. Sophia sounds like nails on a chalkboard to me (it's the harsh S combined with the fee-sound), sorry! I think it's a name that is loved by many, though, so I'm sure most kids would love to have it. I just don't care for the sound. Sienna is soft, pretty and less common so it's what I'd go with. I don't like the Sienna Miller association but it seems to fade now that more and more girls are named Sienna. I also like the color. Personally I think yes, she's too young to honor. Naming a child after her would be like naming your child after her older sibling or something. I don't know why I feel this way, but it just seems a little odd to me.But she's your daughter so you have to decide what works. If you want to honor your sister, you should.

You're not the only one who doesn't like Sophia. It's my own middle name, but I could never understand its appeal. I prefer Sophie - it's cleaner. I have to admit Rosemarie Sophia is a pretty combo. But then again, because so many people love Sophia, it could become a cliched middle name in its own right, like Rose, Marie, Elizabeth.

I was kind of thinking she was too young to honor as well. I was just trying to find another family name, but I think Sienna has more significance. It would almost be unfair to give her Sophia as a middle name, if that makes sense.
