... Although I would also be tempted to name the girl Daphne Susanna.
The reference to Christian figures in the mns (Mary, St. Erasmus, the scholar Erasmus) and water (Stella Maris; St. Erasmus as the patron saint of sailors) in the middle names is intensional. My husband I live few feet from water and are aspiring sailors ... We'd like to live on a boat and travel with any future children. So the ocean is a big part of our lives.
The alternate name, Daphne Susanna, would be a way for me to use a favorite first name and to honor my mother and mother-in-law Suzanne and Susan.
