All my 3yo's Barbies have the middle name Honey- Pinky Honey, Ginger Honey, Daddy Honey, Tilly Honey, and Sweetie Honey

How about Mary Honey?

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.

Love.

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.

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.

-Indian person

Mary Mary
Merry Mary
Mary Marry
Mary Quite-Contrary

Mary Louise
Mary Rose
Mary Christine
Mary Elizabeth
Mary Hannah
Mary Catherine

Mary Bryn

Is there a street name that means something to you

Mary Bridget
Mary Laine
Mary Knox (MK is a cute nickname)

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

Mary J'Blige is my worthless contribution

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

Mary Austen
Mary Hemingway
Mary Woolf
Mary Poet
Mary Mozart

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.

Dovetailing on Renee, how about Renata (rebirth)?
