[Opinions] Re: Madeline and Peter
I love Peter, but I'm not so keen on Pete. Still, that wouldn't be a problem with a middle name.
I don't mind Madeline, but it has been a bit overused lately. Margaret has much wider nn options, and a dragon-fighting saint! - so that would be my choice.
Jacob Cosmas is definitely interesting and I quite like it, although I suspect everyone would think it was Cosmos. Jacob Leonard is not as interesting, but it's a perfectly good name. I'd choose the one you both agree on. :)

Dragon-Fighting?I'll have to check that out - I'm just learning about my saints. I'm using it honor of Margaret of Cortona (http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/09653b.htm) Thanks for the info - I love Cosmos, but my husband doesn't. Ah well. :-D

That's an interesting story too, thanks for the link! The dragon-fighting saint is St Margaret of Antioch. There are some pictures of her, with dragon, here: http://www.isidore-of-seville.com/dragons/39.html
