I agree that Lua's a nice name. Congratulations.

Were you really required to give her a middle name or did you do it 'to be safe'?

If you were asked to: Are you upset about that decision? Do you care? I'm not sure if this anecdote is arguing that a restriction in naming is bad or if it is a data point showing that you can name your child in a special way, rules be damned?

We added the middle name to be safe really. We had heard some horror stores about parents being denied kinder-geld due to an "incorrect" name.

We're both English, so middle names are common there (not sure about the US) and the middle name we chose rally suits the whole name, sort of finishes it of nicely.

I guess the point of the anecdote is really that in Germany, this sort of thing must be considered, but more of a light hearted Friday story!
