My husband passed away 3 weeks ago in a car accident. I am 6 months pregnant with our 5th child, our 2nd daughter.
Our other children are:
Katherine Louise (katie) 6
Cody Christopher(cody)4
Miles Matthew(matt)4
Timothy Thomas (tommy)4
My husband wanted to name our daughter:
Kira Elizabeth
But now that my husband [Michael Robert] has passed away I would like to honor his memory by naming our daughter
Michaela Roberta, is that too similar to his name?

you would honor him if you name her what he wanted. you don't have to name her after him. You could give her 2 middle names Kira Michaela Elizabeth has a nice ring to it.

Oh gosh, I'm so sorry to hear about this. I can't imagine what this must be like with 4 kids and another on the way. :(
Your other 4 children have beautiful names! You guys did great on that! I love the name Kira Elizabeth. It's really pretty for a little girl. That would be honoring him too, since he wanted to name it that. I think the name Michaela Roberta is unique and sweet, too. It is very similar to his name of course, but that's not a bad thing is it?
If I had to pick one of the names I would pick Kira Elizabeth. I think it just sounds a little more feminine, not that there's anything wrong with the other name. If you want to name her that, then go ahead! You can't go wrong with the names you've picked out. :)
Good luck, and again I'm so sorry to hear about your husband.

I'm very sorry for your loss.....
I would leave the Roberta out. You could name her Kira Michaela Elizabeth (or Michaela Kira Elizabeth), that way you will be using the name your husband chose and be honoring his memory. A lot of people have two middle names, it is not that uncommon and that a very pretty name. .

I think that you can combine the two and call her Kira Michael (which is a girls name... though it's rarely sued that way). That way, she's being named a name her father liked as well as being named after him. No one is going to make any comments about her middle name being Michael, ESPECIALLY if they know the reason. This way, she still has her own identity but still carries her father with her. I hate to say it this way, but the name Michaela Roberta might be a burden on her, it's a reminder every day that she's named after her father and why and that could be depressing, if that makes sense. I am very sorry to here about your lose and I hope you and your children are coping well.

Choosing either name would honor his memory as he wanted to name her Kira Elizabeth...I like Michaela just not Roberta as it's just a little too old-fashioned for my tastes.
You could go with Michaela Elizabeth or Kira Michaela ...Normally I don't go for the same sounds in a name..but I kind of like how that goes.
In the end, it's all up to you. Go with what you feel is best.

I think that you should combine them like do Kira Michaela (since he wanted Kira and Michaela would be honoring him) or Michaela Kira or Michaela Elizabeth. It would be nice to honor him but I think the first and middle name is a little bit too similar. Judging by names, probably Kira because I like the nicknames. And it's more unusual (theres someone in my grade named Michaela but I don't know many Kira's that are my age (14) or younger. Either way, it is nice to pick what he wanted.

I'm sorry for your loss!!! But after giving it some thought why don't you do both?? Unless Elizabeth has a significant meaning to the both of you...why don't you name her Kira Michaela?? that way you get to use the name you two picked out together and honor your husband!!!

First of all I am very sorry to here about the loss of your husband. May God be with you and your kids.
If it was what your husband wanted then I would name her Kira Elizabeth and if you wanted to incorporate part of his name into hers then it is your right. My husband has two middle names. I would use Michaela though. Maybe Michaela Kira Elizabeth or mix them up to see what sounds better. Good Luck to YOu and may God be in your heart.

How about Kira Michaela, Kira Roberta, Michaela Kira, or Michaela Elizabeth?

Maybree is nice. It kind of sounds like Maybe but May is a pretty nickname. I don't, however, like Trayson Shane Johnson. Trayson does sound like treason, and also, if you take the middle name out, as he wont be going by that much, he'd be Trayson Johnson. The "-son" endings on both names do NOT compliment each other at all. Maybe try Trey Johnson instead. Or Trevor, Tyler.

I like both names and I can understand wanting to honor your husband. How about Kira Michaela? That way you get part of the name your husband had chosen for your daughter and part of is name.
