middle name came to me in a dream?

somethingchangd

Ok, so totally random, but I dreamed a middle name last night for our little girl.  We're likely naming her Margaret (after my grandma, nn Greta) and in my dream we gave her the middle name Dove.  I kind of like it, especially since Dove is a symbol of peace, and DH, who vetoes just about everything, seemed to like it too.  Do I have my blinders on - is it a terrible name?

And on a related note, DS is Oliver Robin - I don't dig matchy names in a family.  Would it be dumb or just quirky to have 2 bird based middle names?

I like it I think the bird thing is subtle enough, seeing as it is middle names!

I'm not sure, I kind of like it! The bird reference isn't bad since they are middle names!

I think it's perfect! It's not too matchy but I think it's cute to have Robin & Dove as your kids MNs

I love different names in the mn spot.  Why not?!

This!  Also, I am really liking the name Dove, esp as a middle name.  Great dream!

I like it! I think it fits well as a middle name and with your sons name. My #1 little girls name came to me in a dream also, but its her first name.

I think Dove is a good MN, and it's kind of cute that your son also has a bird MN. Just make sure you keep up the tradition if you have a third!

See - I would *never* do that.  It drives me crazy when people think if they give 2 kids a "P" name, all the kids need a "P" name.  That's what makes me nervous about this bird thing!  :P

I really like that!  I think the two bird names are really neat.

Too matchy and cutsey for me...

I like it and dont think its too matchy, but if i did that then got pregnant again, i would be back and forth about not wanting to 'have' find a third bird reference and being worried that the younger one would feel left out

I love Dove as a middle name but it seems I am one of the few people on here that thinks the bird thing is a little wierd. I think it's annoying when people give their children all flower names (ex Poppy, Rose, Violet, Iris, Daisy, Lily) or season names (Summer, Autumn, Winter) or themed names (Marina & Sailor). Robin and Dove would def fall under this category and make me roll my eyes. I would think that your next would be given Wren or Jay as a middle name. I do however think that using them as middle names is a much lesser evil than first names.

I think it's cute.
