Which middle name for Zella?
We aren't pregnant, I'm just daydreaming. We've chosen Zella for a girl name. With the last pregnancy, we were going to go with Zella Irene. Irene is my MIL's middle name which is part of why we chose it. Thanksgiving, a month and a half after our son was born, my husband's niece announced that her baby due in April is a girl and the name she's chosen is Abagail Irene as her name. I realize that my initial "hey, you stole our name!" feelings are irrational and hormone-fueled. After all, we only told my mom that we were going to use Irene as a middle name so there's no way my husband's niece could have "stolen" it and besides, it's not like we own the name anyway.
So, while I still like Zella Irene, and we haven't ruled out using it as I am not totally set against a daughter having the same middle name as someone else in the family, it has made me consider possibly using a different middle name. Some other thoughts I've had:
Zella Marie. Marie is my middle name and we have considered using it as a middle name for a daughter in the past.
Zella Frances. My brother, father, and grandfather's middle name is Francis and when I was younger I had thought I might use it as a middle name for a son. But none of the boy's names my husband likes go well with this name. It might be a nice twist to tradition to use it for a first-born daughter's middle name instead of a firstborn son.
Or stick with the original Zella Irene. Which do you prefer.

Here are my thoughts on using Irene. The name "Cole" is a family name in my husband's family (his grandmother's maiden name) and we used it as the middle name of our 2nd son. Then one of my husband's cousins named her son Cole. And then my husband's brother used the name for his son's middle name. We were the first to use it, and it didn't really bother me too much that it was used two more times. Now, however, in hindsight, the only thing that does bother me a little bit is that if I had known it was going to be used 2 more times, I probably would have chosen a middle name for my son that would honor someone on MY side of the family. I love the name Cole, but I chose it to honor his grandmother. Had i know she was going to be honored 2 more times, well I would have come up with a different name. So that might be reason enough for you to NOT use Irene and use Frances instead. Your hubby's mom has been honored already, now maybe honor the men in your family.
Zella Marie is also pretty. But hindsight is 20/20, and while it's nice to use your own name, I really wish I had honored someone on my side of the family. I am out of the baby making business now, so I don't get another chance :(

Zella Marie does sound cute to me, I particularly love names that begin with a z and Zella sounds pretty interesting. Zella Irene is also pretty, but tbh I would go with Zella Marie because it sounds better, cuter and slightly more prettier. I don't think your niece did steel the name either as you said, but I am one of those people who like to have a different name from the other people, not the usual lily grace if you get what I am saying... I don't think that it is a mega big deal, but I know how you feel about not having gracious feelings towards your child having the same name as another child somewhere in your family and in the younger ones. I think also if you we're going to use Zella Frances, I would change Frances to something a little more feminine, like Zella Francine or Zella Francesca. This way you are still in honour of the name, but are giving it a 'twist' whilst still being in respect of your family.
