Baby Names

Twin girls + older sister sibset

DD1 is Vivienne Lea (my mn) her nn is Vivi.

DD2 will be Elizabeth Ann (MIL'S mn) we may call her Betsy,if any nn.

DD3 will be Katherine __?____ ( my mom's given name) and will go by Kate.

Now we need a mn for Katherine/Kate. Is it odd that Vivienne and Elizabeth have "their own" first names with a family name, and that Kate will be the other way around?  Any mn suggestions,general feedback?

Re: Twin girls + older sister sibset

  • Not sure if you want to do a three letter middle name like the other two, but if you are, you could do:

    Eve/Eva

    Zoe

    Mae

    Joy

    Ada

    Ali

  • Don't think it's weird at all and I think all three of your names are beautiful, but i don't like the nn Betsy, but that's just my personal preference... I like Elizabeth Ann though... nn Elle, Ellie, Liz, Lizzy..

     Love Katherine. How about Katherine Rose, Olivia,  Eleanor or Isabelle?

  • I love Katherine Joy!

    Also, I don't think it's weird to have Kate's fn be a family name when the others are swapped. My twin sister's first name is our mom's middle name, and my middle name is a variant of my mom's first name and a family name (got that? lol). What matters to us is that our parents gave us names they loved and felt fit us. You chose Kate to honor family, yes, but you wouldn't have bestowed it on her as her first name if you didn't also love the name (hopefully).

  • My vote goes to Katherine Mae, I too really like the idea of a 3 letter MN.

  • Love your choices and your siggy pic! Adorable! Anna Elizabeth is on our short list :)

    I also like the idea of a three letter mn for Kate since other daughters have that as well.

    Katherine Kay? I usually don't like alliteration, but this combo I like!

    I also like: Joy and Mae.

    I don't think it's odd about the switch between family names/other names.
