Naming our daughter.....

Okay so I know this isn't really about stepparenting but things have been going pretty smooth in that arena lately (thank god)! But I do need advice on another matter.......
I was wanting an honest opinion about naming my daughter after me (well in a way). My name is Nicole. And I had the idea to name her Nicolette. Does this sound cheesy? And my husbands name is Shawn. So I thought it would be cool to name her Nicolette Shawna. But I do have some reservations about it. I like the idea but need some thoughts. Does it sound weird?

Names

I should ask my hubby if he

I should ask my hubby if he likes that. Its a good idea...... I like it but I don't know what he will say. Thanks

Ok I am being honest..

How about Shawna Nicole? I am sorry personally Nicolette is not my favorite but its not my child either. Just trying to help..

We first had talked of

We first had talked of Colette Shawna. But I liked Nicolette better. I had though of reversing it so that Shawna was first but the hubby said no But I really do appreciate your thoughts. I guess what I'm really hung up on is if we name her this does is sound egocentric on my part? I mena I know men have j.r's and all but I just don't want it to seem snotty, you know what I mean?
