Trying to combine two names for our baby name?

My husband and i are trying for a baby - and got onto the topic of baby names.... we like the idea of combining 2 names to create one.





If the baby is a girl we have decided that as he is called Michael and my middle is Elissa, we'l take his M, and my middle name and call her Melissa. using my mums 1st name as her middle one.


Melissa-Lynn.....so cute





Now if the baby is a boy, this is where we are stuck. My hubby is called Michael and my Dad is called Desmond ( but we call him Des for short ) - i wondered if there was any one who could think of a way to combine the two, or there were any suggestions to include both names into a nice boy name.





My hubbys name is Michael Dennis Collins and my Dads is Desmond Anthony Wright


????? Please help - and everyones advice is very much appreciated xxxx

What happens if you have a second baby? That baby would be left out by not having a combined name. Just go with a name you both like and give him/her a family middle name. It's a win/win!
Reply:combining names like that is TACKY as hell. melissa is an eighties name, and melissa lynn has too many Ls in it.





how about just giving your children classy names that they can grow up with and not be embarrassed of? and what happens if you name your first child melissa, and then have another daughter? she just gets some random name? it isn't practical.
Reply:Well, I love the Melissa-Lynn for the girl's name. For the boy's name, maybe Michael Anthony or Michael Desmond or maybe even Desmond Michael.
Reply:How about Anthony Michael? I love that!!





You could also try...





Matan (It's Hebrew, It means gift and is written: מתן in Hebrew. M from Michael, Ant from Anthony)
Reply:Edmund Mitchell, kind of like each first name, but changed.





THe boys are hard because of the names you have to choose from. THey can't easily be split.


and i'm usually so good at this :(
Reply:Moses----M from Michael, O from DesmOnd, S from DenniS, E from DEsmond, S from CollinS.
Reply:Micmond, Desel, Michond? - no I wouldn't either! I would choose an individual name for your child and put the Desmond bit in as a second name - if you reeeeeeeaaaallllly have to!
