In reference to middle names for Gemma

[ladydreamfire.livejournal.com]

UPDATE: I've poured through all the ideas so many of you have given me, plus what I've taken from online sites, 2 name books, and one contender my son threw in. A lot of heart-wrenching editing later and it leaves me with this list. I have 2 HUGE favorites (meaning I love them all, just those two a little more) so my last option is where I combined those two. I don't know how I feel about having two middle names in general, but I kinda like it here. Probably because I'm indecisive. What do you think of these:

1) Gemma Cosette Gibbons
2) Gemma Suntine Gibbons
3) Gemma Hermione Gibbons
4) Gemma Delphine Gibbons
5) Gemma Mignonette Gibbons
6) Gemma Hermione Cosette Gibbons (I can't help it, I really love both!)

You helped me so much in making a decision! Thanks!


P.S. I just wanted to say thanks again! I love this community! <3

It's either going to be #3 or #6. I really loved Delphine, but I love Hermione more. Now it's only a question of if I pair it with Cosette or not.

And then there's my husband's choice to consider, well he doesn't have one, he just retains veto power. Maybe. I don't trust his judgement about names anymore after he didn't like Roma Aubrielle. Or Rafe Hollis! He usually says that he couldn't care less. That lasts right up until I have a name I'm 100% on and then he magically cares. I want another name geek like me! That's why I love this community, I have a ton of you people!! haha :) (FYI, this paragraph counted as the writers block rant challenge)

How many middle names is legal exactly? And if you're filling out forms, do you only fill in the first of those middle names, or do you have to list them all? I have heard of people using 3 or 4 middle names, and I've always wondered how that would work.

After that whole Talula does the Hula from Hawaii name I can see how a long official name could be problematic.
