To Hyphen or Not to Hyphen?
Aug. 22nd, 2013 12:26 pmWe find out what our baby's gender is in about a week and I'm cursed with to hyphen or not to hyphen.
We're doing a gender reveal but I want to have created a poster thing for us to show the names and say them because we're going to send this video to a lot of family across the country and deaf people.
So we want to set it up with the boy name we've chosen and the girl since we wont know prior to this day and it'll be a surprise for us too. I'm just a little stuck on the girl name. This might also frustrate you as I will not be releasing the first name(a couple real life people followstalk me on the web) yet but if you could still tell me what you think I'd greatly appreciate it! :)
Both names we've had picked out in their exact form since our first year of dating which was about 6 years ago.
BUT how to write it out is tricky. Let me try to explain...
My mother is my whole life, best friend and #1. Husband is well aware. :) So we're going to use her middle name if we have a daughter. However, not a big fan of "Lynn" as a name, just a personal thing! Nothing against it.
And we want to add that to the name we've picked out for her first name that we love!!! BUT I can only think of Ted and the JamieLynn, CarrieLynn, SammieLynn...joke.
I'm also a massive massive MASSIVE Beatle fan and have been since BIRTH and I know it's crazy and you'll all hate it but I couldn't pass up the opportunity to have her middle name be Strawberry since our last name is Fields. Her first name is normal though! Haha. Relatively.
So it would be...
First name is ONE syllable and flows well.
Name-Lynn Strawberry Fields Hard to see with the strike out but this was the hyphen.
NameLynn Strawberry Fields
Namelynn Strawberry Fields
OR
Name Lynn Strawberry Fields
Can't do polls here? :(
Help? TIA
EDIT TO ADD: Since quite a few people like the four name idea...would it sway your vote if you knew that the first name was primarily a boys name but I feel SHOULD be a girls name?

r0ck_y0ur_s0ul for guessing the name out of the blue with no hints! LOL. Thank you for deleting your comment too. :)
