,I have a friend who's daughter's name is Ava Rose & her other daughter is Mia, I love both of those names, they're so elegant sounding. That's why I chose Lydia Evie, it just sounds classic to me.

Re: Baby Names
Why do people give their children middle names? Is it like having two kids because you couldn't make your mind up about the first one?

I was going to be Siobhan if I'd been a girl. To HD, I say go with the Celtic name and to hell with the spelling. Furthermore, I'd like to suggest Ciaomhe (Keevy)? Or how about Roisin?

I hear ya!!
Getting called Sarra constantly by my in-laws gets annoying. from everyone else I either get Sarra or Sear-ra. That and no-one but no-one ever spells my name with an 'H' at the end. With banks and anything else I have to now make a point of saying 'Sarah with an H'
One old guy told me only Jewish girls spell Sarah with an H. I politely told him I was very much a gentile

I like having a middle name. No idea why. just do!
Stranger is when they choose to call them by their middle name from birth or something- not by the child's choice or anything, i know loads of people like that!
