I have my Daughter's Name Picked Out!!!
 

but there is one problem I don't know how to put it on paper.....Ok her FIRST name is going to be Jaci-Renee (like Mary-Kate) but Jaci-Renee (pronouced J.C. Ree nay) of course :p Should I hypenate it it or should I just spell it JaciRenee no hypen? My daugher's middle name WAS going to be Renee and her first JUST Jaci but me and my best friend had promised each other that we was going to name our daughters after on another and she has a lil 2 year old daugher and her name is Morgan Renee (which she took my middle name) so I have to in return take her middle name which is Danielle SOOO that the whole reason why I made Renee part of my daughter's FIRST name.....I'm quite sure we will just call her Jaci for short though....so how should I do it no hypen or hypen it...JaciRenee or Jaci-Renee or should I spell Jaci different Jacie, Jacey, Jacy, etc. ANY FEEDBACK is appreciated :thumbup: ...oh yea I forgot to tell ya I'm not pregnant just already got my daughters name picked out and I also got my son too but thats another story...my husband likes it either way...so he's no help :rolleyes: Another option could be just just not use my BF's middle name and make it Jaci with MIDDLE name Renee and tell my friend when I have my second daughter I will use her middle name because is 4 names too long?? well the first too is her FIRST NAME though..ugh I'm LOST..

Another issue is if my dauther is indeed name Jaci-Renee...I would want people to acknowledge that JACI is not her first name her first name is JACI-RENEE but I know my daugher will be correcting people all day LOL

I like Jacey-Renee...

Oh thats cute!

Another option everyone is just to have my daughter have 2 middle names...which one? I think I have to many options LOL

I like JacieRenee I think if you leave the hyphen out more people will call her by her full first name rather than Jacie. I dont think with a name that long she needs a middle name.

My cousin has a little boy with 2 middle names, IMHO thats the way to go. I love the fact that he has 4 parts to his name, it makes him extra special!

You make a very good point because if the name is Jacie-Renee I would want people to say her FULL name and not think its just Jacie........can I do that on the birth certificate have two names put together? I'm sure I can right?

Yea but I don't know if I really want my daugher to have 2 middle names maybe if me or my husband had 2 middle names I would be more opt to that but HEY its an option ;)

JaceRenee no hyphen would show it was one name.

Yes you can combine them on the birth certificate :-)

I like it with the hyphen. Not many people have a hyphen in their name and I like how it looks on paper. Jaci really isn't a common name so when I looked at it I thought it was either said JC or Jacky. She might get called Jacky if it's spelled that way.

My grandson has a short first name..TY and two middle names..sounds really good that way.

I would also spell it jayci or jayce because at first glance I thought it was pronounced Jackie. Just a thought, then again I am horrible at pronouncing things the right way at first. Also I like JayceRenee or JayciRenee without the Hyphen. My thought is that when she goes through school and has to fill out her name on standardized tests and such they don't have places for hyphens.

:thumbs_up :thumbs_up

I like these two spellings and having them together.

I have a friend who named her son (first name) John Thomas....soooo cute! I never thought of two names when I was pregnant. Oh and another lady I know, her daughter is MaryMattison......sweet!!!

I guess it is more personal preference....would you rather have two first names that everyone will use or two middle names that don't get used much.

So, who is to say you cant give her two middle names? Jacie Renee Danielle?

Can do Jacie Renee as the first name or Jaceerenee. Just be cautious of what you are going to do to this poor child for the rest of her life!

I'd do whatever would be easier for the child to learn. A hyphenated first name might be a little complicated for her to learn to spell and write.....and then, there's school. It's really hard for kids with complicated names. Teachers were forever pronouncing my name wrong in school....it can be very annoying!

I think I like just Jaci Renee Danielle-two middle names...otherwise she'll have a 4 syllable name, with a hyphen and two capital letters which will be a lot for a kid to write out each time. And then...you've got to think of what people will call her..

You might get "Jackie" with the spelling of Jaci (but JACI is my fave spelling of the name, I like it more than Jayce, Jaycee or the other spellings...)

You might get people calling her J.R. if you give her the first name JaciRenee. That's up to you if you're cool with that!

About the Danielle as a middle name, I think it sounds great as a second middle name, but I just want to let you know that just because you promised her you'd use it doesn't mean you're stuck with it. You are allowed to change your mind on this-it will be the name of your child!

I had the same BEST friend for 12 years, we did everything together, told each other everything, kept in touch daily even though we were 1500 miles apart in college, and then, BAM! something happened (don't need to go into it here), but it changed us forever. It's so sad, and it still upsets me, but we don't talk anymore. If I would have named a child after her or after a promise I made her, it would remind me of her and the situation every time I said my child's name, and that would be really hard.

My point is that friends can change, so be sure that you like the name yourself before committing to naming your child that. If you like it just because YOU like it, then the name works great for two reasons!

We don't have children yet, but we have had our kids' names chosen for years! I won't tell ANYONE-not even my family or close friends what those names are-partly because I don't want anyone to use them before I do, and also because I don't want to hear things like "oh my gosh-I went to school with a "NAME", and I HATED her...you can't name your kid that!" and other annoying things like that!

Whatever you end up doing, just be sure you're happy with the name because it's personal to you and your partner-your child will have that name for the rest of her life :)

When I look at Jayce I would prounce it like "J-ACE"......

another thing to think about....choose the name based on what you will actually call her. My husband and I could NOT agree on a name. I wanted Chase, he didn't like it. We both liked the name Jeremy, so we went with Jeremy Chase. However, our other son who was two at the time couldn't pronounce Jeremy, he said "Jermy", so we ended up calling him Chase. But on all class roles, legal documents, things of that sort it is always Jeremy that comes up and it kinda is a pain for him and for us. If I had to do it all over again, Chase woulda been the first name:) oh well, live and learn!!
Oh yeah, when he did start school and everyone called him Jeremy at first, he didn't know they were talking to him:p

I think I will spell it JACIE and she will either have 2 middle names or I will tell my BF when I have my next daugher I will use Danielle.......or I will just blame it on my husband as the reason why my BF name is not in it LOL

ooooh that's pretty!

I like it hyphenated. It's easier on the eyes and I think it will be easier for your child to learn to spell when she starts school.

spelling the name different is unique and a great touch but you have to becareful LOL some people just wont get it. my daughters name is Mayah (my-ah) and sometimes she gets called May-ah. all that and all i needed to do was spell it mya lol then her middle name is Evalynn (evelyn,after my mom) but sometimes people say E-va-lynn when its ev-alynn. lmao u guys confused yet...i am and i named her LOL
