But I can't vote on my phone
I know you might not want to hear this for a suggestion.... BUT, *i* think the best way to "name" someone after a loved one is give your child your moms middle name. That way there wont be two margrets at the same party.... and so on. My daughter is named after my mom, Isabella has her grandmas name for her middle name, yet she has her *own* name.
Maybe even your mom would like it better too, bc most ppl dont like thier names anyways..... just a thought.
A friend of mine just had a baby girl and named her Maggie. I think it's cute. But I like Margaret as well. :)
I like Margarita.... Itll give your daughter some sense of individuality.... different from your moms name. Her nick can be Rita... which is cute.... =) i dont think of "margaritas" when i see that name either.
