It's hard sometimes!!! DS's #1 and #2 both have family names (John Mason, John after DH and his dad - Andrew Grant, Grant after my dad). DS #3 is almost here and we want him to have a family name as well. At least we still have David and William we can use, but DH is INSISTING on naming after his grandpa. Leslie. And not even using it as a MN or calling him something else.
i like them, too! Francis is cute nn Frankie or make it fem and go for Frances or Francine. Dorothy is sweet and classic- nn dottie, or dorrie! I love 'em. GL!
I think Maria is really pretty. If you aren't sold on any of them, but still want to use one, why don't you use one for a middle name? It still pays a tribute!

DON'T THINK SO!!!
This is a fairly new impulse... that list doesn't even include DH's family. I will look for middle names though- thats smart!!!
LOL because the same goes for my family (Bertha and Herman.. I think not!)
I like the bolded ones.
