Please give my DD a great, rocking middle name!

Dovetailing on Renee, how about Renata (rebirth)?

Naming your child after a famous person who you don't know seems really dicey. Many of the people mentioned had serious mental health issues. I love Frida Kahlo, but her relationship with Diego Rivera was not one to be admired. Most historical people have things about them that are troubling, and I think we should stop naming ANYTHING after dead people. Schools, bridges etc.

Maybe find a natural name you like. A color (Hazel, Violet) or a place (River, Lake) and go form there.

My favorite so far is Elliot. Mary Elliot sounds awesome and doesn't give off the Southern or Catholic double-barreled name vibe.

For those saying Mary Vincent, google that name (and then cross it off the list).

Mary J'Blige is my worthless contribution

Conservative Catholics can be funky.

OP is there someone you admire you'd want to give a nod too? Either someone alive now or in the past? Like I'd love Mary Harriet for Tubman who was a kickass woman.

+1. Mary Indira (Gandhi)

This is a terrible idea.

What reason were you given to not skip a middle name? One rarely uses her middle name, and I feel like the purpose of a middle name is to honor a relative/family so I wouldn’t stress about “finding” one (esp since with a hyphenated last name, presumably 2 parental branches are already being used).

But, I’d go with Jo or Louisa.

Not what PP meant, but you could do Lovelace, in tribute to Ada Lovelace.

For that matter, you could do Mary Shelley or Mary Wollstonecraft.
