So I think we have our boys names sorted but still trying to find something nice for a girl. We would like to use the middle name Magdalena after my Oma but we're not sure what to go with. I have always loved Harriet but it doesn't really go with Magdalena, our second fav is Lucy with goes a bit better also. We would love some suggestions, anything sweet and easy to pronounce and also goes well with DD Hayley is welcome. Also DD has two middle names, would it be an issue if this baby only has one? Or do we have to keep the two middle name thing going?

Magdalena is so fabulous, any chance of using it as a first name? I like both Lucy and Harriet. Lucy Magdalena is a good combo but I don't think Harriet Magdalena is terrible.

I like cats, but I couldn't eat a whole one.
I'd use it as a first name. It's all kinds of fabulous.

Why yes.. maybe we could. Though it's quite a different style to DD name?

I don't think Harriet Magdalena is that bad unless your surname is also three or more syllables, then the rhythm may be off. I much prefer Harriet to Lucy. I think Magdalena is a whole lotta MN as it is, so I wouldn't be adding a second MN just for balance.
