HelpRe: I say/You say/You think - middle name
in reply to a message by aquanoun
You say:
"Her middle name is Cade - it's an acronym of our grandmothers' first names: Catherine, Alvina, Dorothy and Elizabeth."
I say: That's a nice way of honouring them.
I think: It is but it's a pity it makes such a masculine and trendy name.

Is Cade really that trendy? Maybe on this board, but I haven't heard of any out in "the real world". Caden is a different story, though. And I still like it for a girl. But thanks for the honesty - now I know what I may be up against! ;)
EDIT: I actually never even knew it was a boy's name before I came up with the acronym, thought it sounded cool, then went out to see if it meant anything. Maybe that's why I don't think it's trendy, because I didn't know about it til after I THOUGHT I made it up. :-/

Maybe trendy-sounding would be better, I don't know any either. It just seems to be another in a long line of AYD sounds and especially trendy-sounding on a girl.

Okay, fair enough. I don't care if someone thinks it's masculine, but I would care if they thought it trendy. For me, I think the REAL trend (although, it seems everything is a trend nowadays as everyone scrambles to find new and Kreeativ ways of naming their kids) in girl name is overly feminine, long, vowel-filled names. e.g. Angelina, Isabella, Madeline, etc. There's also the surname and place name trends...there's too many to keep up with!!
