Baby Names Question

So DH and I both like the Name Zoe, but I still want Mollie in there some where. I have two middle names I am allowed to use, Mollie or Malka( my great grandmothers name before she changed it to Mollie) How would you put them with Zoe and which one?

Re: Baby Names Question

  • I'll be honest:  Two names that end in the -ie / -ee sound is just not my thing.

    Zoe Mollie Streff is a little better because Streff is a single syllable with hard consonants, so the -ie / -ee sound softens it a little. 

    So, if the option are Zoe Malka and Zoe Mollie, I think I would go with the first one, but I know you love Mollie, so, not sure how to do that...

  • I would go with Zoe Malka
  • I'm with Kathy, the double ee sound is NMS. So, I prefer Zoe Malka.

    Is there another family name that you guys may want to use? Or are you dead set on Mollie/Malka?

    My overly happy baby girl!

  • If you like Zoe Mollie use it. It's not like she'll use both names together. Avery's middle name ends an in "ie" nd I wouldn't have it any other way :) I like Zoe Mollie

    I would wait until baby is born and then maybe your husband will change his mind on the name Mollie. I think its a beautiful name and it has a special meaning to it. If you husband really hates it then I like Zoe Malka. I love it spelled Zooey .

    She's a ham & loves her picture taken. I have over 400 on my phone Embarrassed Just to help me not strangle someone at work, while working 12hr shifts. You should see her Santa photo. The people took about 8 different pictures because she was such a ham. She makes me giggle a lot. Thanks for the kind words Kathy.
