I am toying around with the name Magdalena for a girl. I absolutely love it. My husband is set on his chosen name for a girl, but it's totally unacceptable for me (it insinuates a type of deformity, is a play on words, and is the name of a character he loves).

Anyway. Suggestions on middle names are appreciated. I like the following:
Magdalena Marie (continuing tradition - it is my MN & my mother's as well)
Magdalena Mercy (my grandmothers first name)
Magdalena Therese (my husband's grandmother was Theresa, I prefer the flow of Therese)
Magdalena Violet
Magdalena Leigh
Magdalena Iris

I like Magdalena Therese the best because of the way it flows, but to be honest, everything else either sounds weird or has a weird association... I can't help but think of "Mary Magdalene." So Magdalena Marie is just like Mary Magdalene backwards and slightly varied. Magdalena Mercy sounds like you're naming her after the story of Mary Magdalene.

Mary Magdalene was actually my second choice for my patron Saint when I was confirmed. I went with Cecilia because I was thirteen and it was ~*pretty*~. Anyway, I guess it doesn't bother me that people would think I named a girl after her or in honor of her.

That's cool then if you don't mind, she is actually my favorite female biblical figure anyhow :)

I still think Magdalena Therese is the bet choice regardless, though.

I do too. I think since we'd be using Henry for a boy, in honor of my grandfather, then honoring his grandmother would be sweet for a girl and she's the only grandparent of his I ever met. I adored her, she was amazing!
