Which middle name for Maren?

edited January 2014 in Baby Names
We chose Maren for a girl's name. I was going to use my grandma's name (Rosella) for the middle name, but now am considering others that I think sound prettier. My husband suggested using my father's name (Michael). I'd prefer to save that in case we have a boy later. (I do want to use Michael at some point because my father and I were close and he passed away a few years ago) What do you think?

  • I'm a sucker for a family mn  so chose Rosella.  I actually think Maren Rosella is beautiful.    If you used your father's name for a girl would you be open to Michaela?  I always thought that was so pretty and think would be honoring your father just the same
  • I do like Michaela, but husband does not. I suppose if we have a baby #2 that is a girl as well we could revisit the name then.
  • I definitely like Maren Rosella. Pretty and great with the family connection.

  • I like Maren Rosella, very pretty and unique. Maren Elyse is my 2nd fave. Definitely save Michael for when you have a boy.
