January 2012 Moms

how should I word my birth announcements?!

alright I know I'm not due until January so this is early... but because I'll be moving out of my parents' after LO is born, (I'm 22 - I feel super young here!) I can't start a nursery for her. so I'm focusing on everything else I can do :)

we are naming her Margaret Amelia... it was my great grandmother's name who I loved and I adore the full name. BUT, Margaret has been the first name of the first girl in the families on my mom's side for ages (including mine) so we are calling her Amelia - I prefer the name anyway (though not its recent popularity... oh well!)

now here's the question... family knows she will be called Amelia, not Margaret but I will still need to send out announcements with the full name. how do I make sure that people know we are calling her Amelia but that legally, it's her middle name?
