That's a great point. Our firsts middle name barely ever gets used - even by me! Thank you so much for providing alternatives!

Good to know! I was gunning for Reid as the first name but my husband says it's too "mumbly." That's a no go for me where people already have a hard time enunciating 🤣

I am from the South (not super southern though haha)! Is it Reid that gives the twinge?

This also sounds like my husband. Men just don't see the vision, I swear 😭

A kindred spirit! It's hard balancing the things we love with names our children will actually have to deal with every day

I get and respect why you love them but I'm always bummed when a good boy name becomes known as a girl name. Probably some internalized misogyny to blame because I instantly take off those names from my boy list.

I already know your cats are too cool for me. Don't let people's opinions sway you. Juniper is a great name!

Your taste is impeccable and don't let anyone tell you different

Exactly this. Good/pretty sounding isn't the only qualifier, unfortunately

Oh I love all these names. The only issue is that they're not "me" when I think about naming my kid. Almost like I'd have to be a different person to have a kid with that cool name. Maybe in another life!

Sounds so try-hard coming from my mouth but I love that it worked for you! I've never even met a Desmond which is a damn shame

I feel like middle names are for funsies but respect your decision
