Help[Opinions] Re: Elinor
in reply to a message by Lily
Elinor is much better than Eleanor, I agree. However, I do think it's getting too common. It's become my big pet-peeve name because of its rapidly rising popularity. Sad, really. A nice name in theory.
I love Summer Rain and Summer Rose too, in terms of sound and aesthetic, but it does sound like a detergent I'd buy. I think it would be pretty difficult to carry. Middle names can come up in a lot of places, legal documents, job applications, things like that. It feels pretty flighty and flaky for that. Summer's a great name, though.

I never had the impression. I have two middle names and I could have kept them secret from just about everyone, had I wanted to. They didn't appear on my class list, on my certificates when I graduated. Never put them on my resumé. They only show up on my passport. I think they're not even on my health insurance card. For years I didn't know that one of my best friends was actually named Mary. She goes by her middle name and just never told anyone.
Of course you have to show people you work for your passport or something similar for identification but by then they would already have hired you.
I just think you can go crazy with middle names because hardly anyone will know about them. I'm more worried about whether she will like it. But I guess you can never know whether your children will like their name anyway.

Huh. My middle name comes up a lot. :P Funny how all that tends to work out. I'd be less likely to give my own child a crazy middle name based on my own experiences with MNs.

I was at my school's graduation this year (I had to see my headache for the past seven years officially get out of my hair), and we had the middle names in a slide show that was shown while everyone waited for the start of the ceremony. I also remember them used in my confirmation. (7 girls, 4 with the mn of Marie.) My nephew also gets yelled at a lot with both names, and his big sister has started to get that too.
