HelpUsing Zoe
So I was thinking about middle names again and i've come back to Zoe..
Long story short:
* My grandparents had two daughters: Jacqueline (mum) & Lisa, they moved then to Australia and had another child, a boy named Guy. My grandmother was hoping for a third daughter to name Zoe.
* The whole time my mother (Jacqueline) was pregnant with me I was going to be called Zoe and was referred to as Zoe (I think mainly because of my grandmothers influence). When I was born my dad decided that Zoe didn't suit me and named me Rebecca Simone (obviously mum liked it because they went with it).
* Gran was disappointed, and has suggested the name Zoe for every baby born since then. Then my uncle Guy's wife was pregnant with Quads (1 boy, 3 girls) and before they were born they named the girls Emma, Zoe & Sophie. The three girls did not survive and my cousin Jackson was the only survivor.
I'm thinking about using Zoe as a middle name because of its significance in my family, for my mum, grandmother and aunt. Would it be strange for a child so share the same name as a deceased cousin? I would obviously ask my aunt if she minded etc. Also what other middle name would you pair with it??
Our top 2 girls names are Daphne & Theodora
So:
Daphne Zoe ________ (Arnold) or Daphne Zoe _____ Arnold
Theodora Zoe ______ (Arnold) or Theodora Zoe ______ Arnold
I'd love some suggestions! We love really old fashioned, not common names.
