Middle Name Help

[erikalyn.livejournal.com]

I think I've just about decided on the first name for my baby girl due in May but I'm having some trouble with middle names. I would like to honour my mother somehow but I'm not a huge fan of either of her names (Karen Ann), so I'm looking for some other variations/names I could use that would still honour her without being the exact same name. All I've been able to come up with is Katherine, which doesn't exactly make me all warm and fuzzy inside. Help!

Stella (insert middle name here) Trenholm

EDIT: I found one I like, Katrine, but I would still like to hear other suggestions :)

Pretty name you have picked :-) I love it's meaning.

[erikalyn.livejournal.com]

Thanks :)

I really like the name Kasia and had actually considered it but I'm unsure of how I feel about having 2 names that end with "a" .. it seems too matchy, if that makes sense? Maybe I'm just crazy :P

[anapology.livejournal.com]

I really like similar-ish names paired together..
Maybe it sounds too sing-songy to people but it sounds perfect to my ear.

Do you pronounce it kash-uh or kas-ia?

[erikalyn.livejournal.com]

I have a client named Kasia who pronounces it ka-sha, so sometimes I say it that way but sometimes I say it the other way (although I pronounce it more like kas-ya than kas-ee-a). I guess it just depends on who I'm talking to and the context really.

[anapology.livejournal.com]

I love the spelling Cassia, but I guess the K would be better for your family reasons.

Stella Kasia (kas-ya) sounds gorgeous :-)

[miss-tee.livejournal.com]

I second Stella Annabel

[erikalyn.livejournal.com]

I like that idea but my mom was never married, and nor am I, so her "maiden" name is my last name, which will end up being my daughter's last name as well. It doesn't really work in this situation but I have a few friends that have their mom's/grandmother's maiden names as middle names and I do like the idea of it.

How about Stella Corinne ? :)

[janelleandheart.livejournal.com]

I second this.

[cathblue7.livejournal.com]

Stella Catherine! :-)

[amyames.livejournal.com]

stella is a great name! what about corrine? stella corrine sounds nice.
btw just noticed you are from halifax too :)

I don't have any ideas for you, but I just wanted to say how much I love the name Stella, and that I think Stella Katrine Trenholm sounds amazing:)

[admirari.livejournal.com]

katrine sounds like latrine, to me. i'd go with katrina

[th3-unicorn.livejournal.com]

on that note, latrina is the italian word for latrine :P

[admirari.livejournal.com]

as a word, it's beautiful. both: latrina, latrine. but it means toilet. which sucks. words and language can be so fucking limiting :( :(

[mimiwrites.livejournal.com]

I like Stella Corrine. If you like different spellings maybe spell it Karrine.

[arbus.livejournal.com]

i like stella catherine. but i dont see anything wrong with stella karen. especially with the meaning for you.

[cathblue7.livejournal.com]

Stella Catherine is still my favourite! :o)

[requiem-morrow.livejournal.com]

I usually don't like fn and mn with the same ending, but the very first thing that came to mind is Stella Annora (Annora is actually a varient of Honour, but you're honoring your mom and it has Ann in it). I think it goes well with your last name.

[cxtxc.livejournal.com]

Stella Anastacia, although I don't think it particularly flows well :P They're both nice names though.
