Middle names for Caitlin
My friend (Caitlin) recently turned 18 and is considering changing her middle name (Victoria). She doesn't much like her first name either because it's too popular, but I think she'll keep it. What would you suggest as middle names for Caitlin? She doesn't want anything common like Elizabeth, Marie, Alice, etc. (Why go through the trouble of legally changing your name to Caitlin Marie?) It should be interesting, meaningful, and uncommon. Thanks!

But why does she want to change?I think Caitlin Victoria is a great name. I could understand if she wanted to change her fn, b/c it is too common or she just does not like it. But what is there to dislike so much about a mn, that you would go to the trouble to change it?Without knowing the reason, I cannot come up with any suggestions. I like old-fashioned and feminine names (like Victoria) but maybe your friend does not like such names?"You sought a flower and found a fruit. You sought a spring and found a sea. You sought a woman and found a soul. You are disappointed." (Edith Södergran 1891-1923)

Caitlin Victoria is a pretty name. I have a very common name (I'm not crazy about that fact), but I don't think that it's worth legally changing. I sometimes use the nickname Jae just so I can feel slightly different. Maybe she can pick a more unusual nickname that isn't too different from Caitlin or Victoria (i.e. Cai, Cay, Cail, Cal, Linnie, Linna, Cailie, etc.) There is nothing wrong with Caitlin Victoria. Most people don't even talk about their middle names anyways, so I don't think that it's really worth changing a middle name unless it's offensive and embarrasing. That's just my opinion though.ideas:
Caitlin Amara
Caitlin Eugenia
Caitlin Isadora
Caitlin Ruby
Caitlin Emerald
Caitlin Sky / Skye
Caitlin Miranda
Caitlin Gabrielle
Caitlin Gabriella
Caitlin Rosalie
Caitlin Amaya / Amaia
Caitlin Meredith
Caitlin Noelle
Caitlin Joelle
Caitlin Josette
Caitlin Serenity
