Naming...

[sleepy-tears7.livejournal.com]

Okay. The ex and I are on a debate about what to name our daughter.

The name he wants to go with:
Bailey Jaimes Hannah ____
Now, I'm okay with Bailey... Baily Jaimes gives the intials BJ. His argument is, she doesn't have to tell anyone her middle name. He is STUCK on this name. *sigh*
I will NOT give my daughter the first name Hanna. It is a family name for him.. And well, his mother REALLY wants us to pick it. I hate his mother. I refuse to pick any name that she likes, so as not to give her the idea that I picked it for her or that she won in any way. (Immature of me, I know.. What's worse is, I like the name. But I can't, won't, will not do it)

I like Kyra Sage (now, we could either put Jaimes or Hannah here, I'm not oppose to either one as a middle name really, I am just opposed to BJ)
Kyra pronounced Ky-rah (rhymes with Tyra like Banks)

Now,  I know how a lot of you feel about 2 middle names, and I'm doing it anyway.. I have 2 and so does my sister lol. BUT I do ask, can you suggest any kind of comprimise between the two names. OR maybe, some ideas I can throw his way?? I mean, he is really stuck on this name. And while I'm not STUCK on my name, I really like it a lot.

Thanks guys!

Jaimes is awful in any case, and I don't like Bailey on girls.

I don't mind Kyra Sage.

Oh and I know a girl named Belinda Jane who actually goes by BJ as a nickname and no one ever mentions the obvious associations.

I know a boy who has always gone by BJ too and still continues to do so, so presumably he doesn't get too much crap.

I do know the association, but maybe it's not such a big deal here in aus?

agreed...I dont know any 'BJ's' but I didnt make the association immediately

Yeah maybe! Perhaps kids are just nicer here lol.

Here, its less bad for a boy to go by that name.
IDK why, but in my area the poor girl would get torn apart, while any boy would get left alone.. In fact his pals might laugh about it.

I guess I come from a really immature area. ha.

I know a few kids whose initials (either first + middle or first + last) were BJ... I don't recall them ever getting flack about it. Especially since a lot of kids didn't know their middle names anyway.
