A mother-to-be is seeking advice on whether she should choose a name for her daughter that begins with the letter “M” because she is set to inherit family jewellery pieces with that monogram. She’s concerned that basing her daughter’s name on the inherited items might seem “stupid,” but she also wants to ensure that the jewellery continues to have a special meaning within the family. The expectant mother has considered names such as Marina, Matilde, and Miriam, which all have “Mia” as a nickname. She and her husband initially favored “Amelia” as a more formal legal name, but they are open to suggestions.
