Hi Jennifer,
My husband and I have been talking about names ever since we first found out we were expecting our second child. We had decided on Maggie for a girl, and now that we know for certain that we are expecting a daughter, Maggie it is. However, I recently read a celebrity baby name article where someone named their daughter Magnolia and called her Maggie for short. I LOVE the idea!-but, my husband isn’t sure because our last name is Cobb. He fears she might be teased for being a Magnolia Cobb.
Does this name sound too “nature inspired”?
Sincerely, Tia
Dear Tia,
I absolutely love the name Magnolia and LOVE LOVE LOVE it combined with your last name. Magnolia Cobb is easy to spell and pronounce but put together is so distinctly unique it sounds like a very important person.
My opinion: Magnolia Cobb is an A+++ baby name. Run with it! And if you don’t, let me know. I’ll use it for a character in one of my books 🙂
Sincerely,
Jennifer
