i think i've **finally** come to a decision on a name. i'm almost afraid to post it for fear of being berated and then doubting myself. i want to know what you think in terms of the two middle names thing. no one in my family has two middle names, but i'm torn about it and i want to use two middle names--but i think it might be too long.

so for better or worse..here are my names, parenthesis on the middle name that would be second if i chose to have a second name.

Boy:
Landry Mark (Otis)

Girl:
Ainsley Margaret (True)

edit: I should note that I'm due Nov 27th. And hopefully I'll find out here within the next month what I'm having.

If you were really confident about your name choices, being berated wouldn't make a difference in how you feel about your name choices.

I generally don't like two middle names, but I don't mind when a mother's maiden name is used as a second middle name; second middle names are rarely, if ever, used and only make signing official documents take longer (passport, multiple copies of mortgage papers, credit cards, et cetera). Honestly, though, I don't think middle names are necessary at all.

I like your names for the most part. However, I would prefer Mark Landry to Landry Mark and I like Mark Otis even more; Landry is a pretty common last name in my area, as well as the name of a popular seafood restaurant, so I just don't care for it.

I LOVE Margaret, but I dislike Ainsley and I strongly dislike True. Ainsley has a nasal, whiny sound to it that I dislike and I also think it sounds like a boy's name. True just sounds as silly as the middle name Candles, which was recently given to a co-worker's manager's young daughter.
