It turns out that your baby’s name affects a lot more than just her monogram! According to thegoneapp.com, the name can have a significant impact on how people see you.
Your identity can also be affected by your name.
This is why so many people spend an overwhelming amount of time searching Google for the perfect first name. After hours of poring over endless search results, it’s no surprise that many people let the middle name take a backseat.
That’s why I’ve been putting together my How To Pick A Middle Name series. So with a quick glance, you can find the perfect middle name for your daughter!
Without any further ado, here are the best middle names for a girl named Mia.
I’ve compiled these from baby name databases, parent discussion forums, and other sources then whittled them down to the ones I personally think sound the best.
It’s a good idea.
The importance of picking a good middle name for your daughter
Legally, there is no requirement or formal reason to have a middle name.
Although a middle name is optional, it’s something that many people choose to have.
If you are looking for the perfect name for your daughter, then you have probably already decided that including a middle name is a must.
That’s a good choice because that extra name between your first and last can have a lot of benefits!
Here are 3 big reasons you should think and research carefully about a good middle name that goes well with Mia:
A middle name lets you preserve even more family or other important names
It’s natural that you would consider naming your child after someone who is important to you, but if you have more than one person you want to honor, then how do you choose?
The possibility to honor multiple people in your life through a middle name is a great way to do so.
You just need to ensure that the names flow well together.
Their middle name can, and might, become their nickname
You’ve probably told your kids on more than one occasion, “You get what you get, and you don’t throw a fit.”
Well, a middle name lets kids have a little bit of a choice, and it lets them have a nickname!
Many people choose to use their middle name full-time.
Your child might share her first name and middle name with someone in her school class. This can make it easier. It is possible that your daughter prefers to use her middle name, simply because she likes it more.
This is something to keep in mind as you make your decision. Avoid names that could be embarrassing.
The full name power play
Nothing beats the classic full-name warning delivered by parents everywhere, for example, “MIA GRACE JOHNSON, DO NOT PAINT YOUR BROTHER!!”
Every child knows that when mom plays the FULL NAME card, it means BIG trouble.
So, parents, try out your child’s potential full name by practicing this warning.
You’ll be a blessing to your future self, as the more it glides off your tongue the better it will work.
