Family mn help

tierragirl

Hi Ladies -

We're trying to settle on a middle name for Olivia, and given that it's the first grandchild and great-grandchild on either side, I'd like her mn to be somewhat family-related or at least have some meaning vs. picking out of a book.

Our last name begins with T, has four syllables, and is very italian (think "Tortellini")

Do any of these options strike you?

Olivia Cate (first two letters of my MIL's middle name Catherine + Last two of my mom's mn Annette...yes I know it's a nickname for Catherine but I need to justify it to my mom this way)

Olivia Margaret Emma or

Olivia Emma Margaret (DH's great grandmother and my great grandmother)

Olivia Dawn (my mn...if all else fails)

Thanks!

Olivia Margaret Emma is so sweet! I like this a lot. Cate is nice, but I like the connection with both great grandmothers and the feel of the three names together. I picked the order Margaret Emma because I don't like the MA-MA sound of EmMA MArgaret side-by-side.

Olivia Cate or Olivia Dawn would be my picks.

Olivia Cate is lovely...I'm not a big fan of multiple middle names.

I really like Olivia Dawn

None. I'm not a fan of naming kids after other people. For Olivia Cate, why would you need to "justify it" to your mom? It's YOUR child.

I really like all of those, but given the fact that your LN is so long, I'd go short and sweet for the first and middle names.

Olivia Cate gets my vote, with Olivia Dawn coming in 2nd.
