Re: Madeline and Peter
I've really been liking Peter a lot more lately. Like to the point where I'd consider using it. I think it's a nice strong name, but it's gentle and kind and friendly at the same time. I want to give it a hug.Peter and Madeline are amazing together! Madeline is pretty, but I'd stay away from it too if you have two relatives already with that name. Magdalene is a really similar name (well, technically the same name!), and it's very nice too. You don't see it around nearly enough. I know you dislike Maggie though, and your nickname options are more limited with Magdalene than with Margaret. I think Magdalene fits better with Peter, although I'd never dissuade anyone from considering Margaret!I'm not keen on either of those Jacob combos, but I think Jacob Leonard is nicer looking.

They do sound lovely together, don't they?Peter has always been one of my favorites and I was thrilled when I finally got the okay to use it as a middle name. I'm not sure I will - there are some negative family connotations with it. Still, Madeline isn't a top choice for me. I like it, but it's almost "too nice" of a name. Margaret seems more earthy - and I love the nn Magda. (I'd use Magda by itself if I could!)Thanks - I'm not sure about Jacob at the moment. It's something we have plenty of time to iron out out, though.
