Baby Girl Middle Name

nicholssquared

I've asked this a while ago, but DH and I still haven't decided and now I can make a clicky poll! FN is Matilda. I want the MN to be for the Virgin Mary. We have a few options: Mary - direct and obvious, Marie - flows a little better, but isn't as obvious since my middle name is also Marie - I don't want people to think she was named for me when she wasn't, Maria - I like the flow, but is it too similar in sound to Matilda? I'm not a huge fan of using a title or other reference to Our Lady besides a variation of Mary. DH is for 'Marie', and I'm for 'Mary,' - Maria has yet to be discussed. If you've got another idea, please post. Also, if you feel strongly enough to share your reasons, I'd be happy to hear them! Thanks!

I voted for Matilda Mary.  I am assuming you are Catholic?  These are other "names/ NNs" that are often associated with Mary

Guadalupe

Conception (Con-sep- she- own)

Stella ("Star" of the Sea)

Maris ("the Sea")

Madonna

Just throwing those out there in case you wanted something a little more abstract.

I voted Matilda Marie, but I also like Matilda Maria. I really don't like Mary as a mn for Matilda.

A little less traditional Catholic, but a plausible reference to the Virgin Mary could be Virginia.
