Middle Name and Questioning
I was wondering which one of these names sounded best. I know Kaifu is a bit of a strange middle name but it has a lot of personal significance to us so it's staying.
Lorelei Kaifu Grey
Freya Kaifu Grey
Freja Kaifuh Grey (my husband's half-Danish and prefers this spelling)
Delilah Kaifu Grey
Anastasia Kaifu Grey
Stephanie Kaifu Grey
Also am I the only one who ever starts second guessing name choices even though I was SO CERTAIN I loved all these names? Like:
Lorelei...is it too Gilmore Girls? Too trashy? Too Lorelei Lee/Marilyn Monroe? I don't really like Lora or Lori....
Frey(j)a... is it too hard to really pull off? Are the mythological connotations too strong? Does it sound bad? I really like it but would other people?
Anastasia...I hate Anne and Annie and Stacy, even Anya is sometimes shorted to Ann. And who knows if people WILL call her Ann instead of Anya? In the end I don't have that much control over nicknames right?
Delilah...Too Samson? Too "Hey there Delilah"? Does it not sound as good as I once thought it did?
Stephanie...too 80's? Too common?
It's amazing how something like choosing a name can become so stressful. I have half a mind to just choose Jane Doe Grey instead. (Of course then the Lady Jane Grey connotations pop into my head....) Le sigh.....
