I had a baby girl 3 months ago and we named her Lauren Rebecca (Rebecca is my husbands sister’s name). However, it does not seem to fit and we would like to change her name to Emma Lauren. But, my husband does not think it would be appropriate to drop Rebecca since she was named after his sister. I don’t want our daughter to have four names Emma Lauren Rebecca [last name], and we don’t want to drop Lauren either. How do I handle this situation. Please help! I would like to change her name before she starts knowing her name!!

Holy cow.

I fully endorse this amazing insult to her child’s aunt on one condition. She explains in no uncertain terms how a middle name (which has been used for millennia) can fail to fit an infant who is just barely old enough to discover she has feet and they can fit in her mouth.
