Possible middle name
Back story I love my middle name. It is a mix of my two Grandmother's names I have never heard anyone else with it before. I loved my maiden name and possibly would have made it my middle name when I married if my middle name was just a random name my parents liked. I liked my middle name so I kept it. My sons nickname happens to be a combo of my mom and dad's name. Not planned just happy coincidence. My maiden name is very unique hard to pronounce. I would not give it as a name to a child first or middle. I know I recently asked about Jacobina on here. I love it because it sounds pretty it's Biblical which fits my other kids and it is a family name. Thhe nickname potential could be a mix of my in laws which makes me think it is perfect. My husband thinks it sounds made up and doesn't like it so we have not used it. For fun I started looking at middle names for it and saw Bobina. Jacobina Bobina. It's a little much but kind of fun. One of our previous middle names was Bo after my maiden name. Curious if you guys like it as middle name?

I don't like Jacobina, bobina or Bo
Jacobina Bobina doesn't flow at all. Both names ending with INA. Bobina sounds like a made up name. Both names are somewhat masculine sounding with Jacob and Bob. I hate the combination and I definitely don't like Bobina.
Jacobina is not Jacob Ina my ancestor pronounces it Yacobina as they lived in Norway. I live in America so I don't think people would make the Jacob connection unless they saw it written
Also would likely just call them Bina
I know they sound ridiculous together but that's how I found the name. Would Bo Bina as a double middle name be something you could bear. It's not the first name mind you and my middle name is completely made up where that is actually a name?
Bo Bina sounds absolutely comical. I'm sorry, just not a fan of these names at all.
You would love my maiden name then 🤣
I don't mind that name. My husband doesn't agree to Jacobina so this is unlikely to go anywhere. If we have a girl we are planning to call her Josephine middle name will probably be Anne or Charlotte. Although I think Charlotte Josephine sounds so pretty I would be OK with that too.
