Middle Name - Fort Stewart,GA

My sister named her baby Sean and my brother is Sean. She didn't name him after my brother. In the beginning my brother joked that she named him after him, but that went away quickly. My nephew is 2 now and we haven't heard my brother say anything in well over a year. Maybe in the beginning you may hear something, but it will go away. My sister never corrected him, and I think that helped quiet the conversation. I'm one to think if you like a name use it despite who's name it is, with one exception. When my twin boys were born we loved the name Jackson and the name Michael. I just couldn't name by babies Michael Jackson.

What's the big deal about her thinking the baby's middle name was named after her? Is it wrong to make her feel good? Are you going to call the baby Amy or Elizabeth?

Amy Nicole
Amy Benet (sounds like Benay)
Amy Sinclair

There is nothing wrong with Amy, it just sounds very dated but not so dated that it's cool. If you like it then go with it, but to me, it's like picking Jennifer.

She will probably joke that you did, but who cares?!?!

Or, even if she thinks you did, why is that not o.k? I think it is nice! If I had a 2nd boy the middle name was goign to be after my dad, but I would have considered my brother if the opportunity came up.

I do think the combination sounds great together! No other suggestions. I think that if it has the right ring to you, you should go with it. Otherwise you may regret it later as thinking you gave your baby the "wrong name"!

I went to school with a girl names Amy Jo, and I just loved that, still do. But I do like Amy Elizabeth also. Even though you wouldn't be naming your daughter after your SIL, you'd still score some points, so don't not name her that if you wanted to.

I love the name Amy.
I'm no spring chicken and I only know one Amy. She is 35. It's a lovely name and not one of these new fangled "popular" names that your daughter will have 5 other kids with the same name in her class at school.

Amy Elizabeth is a perfectly beautiful name.
I don't think you should worry about the inference that the name Elizabeth is in "honor" of someone.

Talk about pressure over a name.
I heard that Prince William and Kate are a bit under pressure to name their baby, if it's a girl, Elizabeth. How many Queen Elizabeths does England really need? They can't name their kid just anything. Thank heaven we aren't under that scrutiny.

You can name your baby whatever you want!!!!

Best wishes.

I would pick whatever name you love. Our daughters name is Annaliese and we could not for the life of us find a middle name we liked so we settled on marie, which happens to be my middle name.
As far as our son, his first name is Gary (after dad and grandpa) but we picked a different middle name. we went with Allen.
good luck to you and congrats

Forget the SIL, go with whatever you like! (side note: When I read that, first thing I thought was "ooh, I'd like the name Amelia" it's like a mixture of both names)
Anyways, we named dd Isabella Marie (combined family names) and go figure, she has the same name as the main character from Twilight (which I had never read, and the movie came out a few weeks before she was born). Whatever. I was hoping she'd let us call her "Isa" and my MIL tried to call her "Izzy" but nope, she wasn't having it. She decided early on that she wanted to be called... you guessed it: Bella! We do get away with calling her Belle, sometimes. :) I wanted Isabella Grace. Oh, now the boy names (for sometime in the future kid #2)... those have me worried... :)

Ellison, Emerson, Isabelle, Lane, Madeline, Olivia, Paige, Quinn, Reagan, Victoria, vivienne.

Maybe change the spelling to S instead of Z? Or Amy Alizabeth? And speak up when someone says that.

I love Amy Elizabeth. I wouldn't worry one bit about his sister. When I was preggers with #2. I liked the name Stephanie. That was my cousin's name and I most certainly wasn't naming my child after her!! I had a boy. =)

My second daughter is name Bethany Elizabeth. Our oldest is Kelsey Rebecca.I think my aunt middle name is Elizabeth(which i didn't know) til after we named her. Oh well....We loved it!

My girls' names are Elizabeth Asenath and Alice Shire. We studied long and hard on both first and middle names to come up with something that had a strong meaning for us. Elizabeth means "consecrated to God" and Asenath means "I belong to my father." Alice means "truthful" and Shire is a variation of the Hebrew word for "song", so together her name means truthful song.

I guess my point is that you can look for something really unique, that has a lot of meaning for you. I can't remember what sight I was using, but you could look up any word and it would come back with names that had that meaning. I'm sure you could find it!

My sister in law is Amy Christine.

One of my friends growing up was named Amy Rose. I always thought that was pretty:)

I love the name Grace. If we had another girl I would have named her

Hanna Grace
or Brianna Grace.

I am not a big fan of the name Amy. It is lovely for a little girl but for me is not a strong adult name. I always look at that as little girls grow up to be big girls who run companies and are the bosses of things (house, kids, jobs etc) and Amy just doesn't have an authoritative ring for me.

I agree with BB-it's a common name. One of my step daughter's middle name is Marie-that is also my mother and sister in laws middle name. They think it's cute that they all have the same middle-but it's VERY common.
I named my daughter Annelise Clare (her middle is my mother's first). Everyone thinks I say Aunnalee-but she is four now and will correct people.
My son is Kaden Charles (middle is my brother's first). Everyone warned me that he would get called Katie (last name D)-he does and it is no big deal.
I like Amy because you really can't shorten it into a nickname.
Just go with your gut.

we named our daughter brianna leigh.. it took us longer to pick the middle name than the first name.. we couldnt decide between leigh, lynn, rose, layne, marie.. and about 10 more but i cant remember them at the moment.. i like amy lynn

If you like Elizabeth, maybe just use Eliza or Beth/Bethany? That way the SIL can't say it's after her. :)

Choosing names is so personal because we all have different reactions to names when we hear them based on personal experiences with people with the same names. Go with your gut and don't look back. Unless of course your want to name them Apple or ipod or something like that. ;)

Good luck and congratulations!

I think any of the common, go to middle names would work with Amy.

You have to take your last name into consideration, but...

Amy Lee?
Amy Kate?
Amy Marie?
Amy Ellen?
Amy Rose?
Amy Beth (not Elizabeth)?

Our son is named after hubby's best friend and most influential teacher/mentor. If we'd had a girl, she would have been named for my MIL - but in this case, I chose a name that had a similar sound (Rebecca), not the exact name itself (Robin - there were already 2 in the family). Is there a person in your lives that you would like to honor with the middle name? If so, see how that works, or chose something similar that reminds you of that person if the actual name doesn't work.

If you love the name, I'd still go with it.
You can always quell your sister-in-law's self-absorbed personality by
saying "We named her after a good friend of mine or an old friend of the
family".

Amy Ray

Amy Raylene

Amy Marie
Amy Elaine
Amy Christine
Amy Grace (my favorite!)
Amy LeeAnne

I would go with Elizabeth if that is the name you like. If she thinks its after her, let her have that little extra pride... really who is it hurting? Its not like he has another sister to get jealous about it.

My #2 has the same middle name as his dad.. that is also the same as my older brother.

My #3 's middle name is after my BIL...

My daughter has my Dad's middle name..

While they were all happy to have my kids middle name the same as thier names, the kids were never given any special treatment because of it. I'm sure your SIL wont either.. go with Elizabeth.

You could always say you named her for Queen Elizabeth (1st or 2nd, take your pick) if/when SIL Elizabeth pipes up.
I like the name Amy.
Almost anything would go well with it.
