Help[Opinions] Re: Sandra or Cassandra?
in reply to a message by schandrou
If you don't think it'd mean anything to your mother then I guess it might be trivial. I was thinking that the name might represent a connection to your mother and those on her side, that you'd want to consider.
But, having an extremely long double surname that you have to sign (rather than just a middle name that you never have to really deal with) is a real practical consideration that might just trump any of that. I think I might try to make the mother's surname into a second first name that could be omitted, if possible, rather than deleting it, but I'm not sure if these things would mean the same to you.

I don't think so actually.. I think both of my parents will understand how I think, or they will respect my opinions of my own name. They have always been very supportive. I think that my mothers surname doesn't actually represents any connection to her when so many others have that name too.. But her firstname is Marianne, so I could use Mari or Anne or Maria as a middlename I guess. But it doesn't actually sound any good with Cassandra in Norwegian.. But maybe it would be a good thing to do for my mother.
My mothers surname, Hansen, do not work as a second first name, because everyone knows it is a surname. I think it is the most common surname in Norway or so. I think people would think it was weird. But, as mentioned, I could have used Mari or something, just to have a piece of my mother in my name. It may work if it is Marí and not just Mari.
