As long as you let them know why you're picking it there probably won't be an issue. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-question#post-21727 Thu, 24 Nov 2011 19:32:28 +0000 MsMini 21727@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think it is strange at all, just give your sister a heads up before and I can't see her having an issue with it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-question#post-21722 Thu, 24 Nov 2011 19:06:41 +0000 Andrea 21722@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not strange at all, go for it!

Sometimes you just need others to say it's ok. haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-question#post-21506 Wed, 23 Nov 2011 21:23:21 +0000 cyndistar3 21506@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it would make a great middle name, connection or not :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-question#post-21505 Wed, 23 Nov 2011 21:21:52 +0000 cupcakemama 21505@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I meant to add that the names are lovely together. I think they 'go' because they are of a similar vintage. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-question#post-21501 Wed, 23 Nov 2011 21:20:10 +0000 cupcakemama 21501@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Personally I think that would be fine. If I were in your sister's shoes I would not be upset, especially as the name has family meaning. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-question#post-21500 Wed, 23 Nov 2011 21:19:16 +0000 Mrs. Bee 21500@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think it's strange at all! That's a lovely name! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-question#post-21493 Wed, 23 Nov 2011 21:11:50 +0000 junebugmama 21493@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH has always wanted to name a daughter after his Grandmother. They were very close and she had Alzheimer's when she passed away. Her name was Lillian, which I really loved. Well, my sister had a daughter 2 years ago and named her Lilly. DH was a little heartbroken, because obviously the names are way to close. However, if we do have a girl, do you think it's strange if we use Lillian as a middle name? I think since it's obviously due to a connection it's not a big deal, I just don't want people to think we've lost our marbles. We were thinking Violet Lillian. </p>
