[Opinions] Re: Please help!!! Considering using the middle name(s) for our twins. Is it a bad idea?

If you spell Alana in the Irish way I'm used to - Alannah - you get out of the backward-spelling problem and acquire Ann or Annie as a possible nn as well as Allie.
And if you like Irish and don't much like Chloe, how about Clodagh? I knew a Clodagh once who was a wonderful person and had no trouble with it at all.
My husband has been known by his middle name all his life, which is pretty merciful seeing that his fn is Ernest. It's never been a bother. Same with my cousin Robin, whose initials spell ART instead of RAT!
