A good middle name for Ayla?

General Name Discussion
1

So I am in love with the name [name_f]Ayla[/name_f] right now, SO suggested it randomly and after I looked it up I saw the ‘Clan of the Cave [name_m]Bear[/name_m]’ movie which made me like the name even better. Since the name itself is 2 syllables and the last name is 1, I am looking for an elegant 3 syllable middle name. So far my SO was thinking of [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] but it seems a little too clashy with [name_f]Ayla[/name_f]. I was thinking something like [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] or [name_f]Carolyn[/name_f] and also I think [name_f]Ayla[/name_f] [name_f]Naomi[/name_f] is adorable. Let me know what you think! I don’t want her to sound too grown up as a baby :stuck_out_tongue:

[name_f]Ayla[/name_f], what an adorable name! [name_m]How[/name_m] about [name_f]Ayla[/name_f] [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f], [name_f]Ayla[/name_f] [name_u]Cassidy[/name_u] or [name_f]Ayla[/name_f] [name_f]Marie[/name_f] (I know it’s not three syllables, but it’s cute)?

[name_f]Ayla[/name_f] [name_f]Madeline[/name_f] ([name_f]Madeline[/name_f] is pronounced Mad-uh-[name_f]LINE[/name_f], not Mad-uh-lynn).

Books, lol. They’re a whole series of books. I know there was a film made but - as with pretty much every conversation to cinema - I’m 99% sure the books are better. :wink:

The first book in [name_u]Jean[/name_u] Auel’s [name_f]Earth[/name_f]'s Children series was great, but I have to say that the novels that came after Clan of the Cave [name_m]Bear[/name_m] didn’t seem quite as good (to me, at least).

For [name_f]Ayla[/name_f]'s middle name, I would use “Jeanalue,” which honors author “[name_u]Jean[/name_u] Auel” in anagram. :slight_smile:

[name_f]Ayla[/name_f] Jeanalue

– [name_f]Nephele[/name_f]

Woah thanks for the names guys they sound awesome! I especially like [name_f]Ayla[/name_f] [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f]. I have heard of the book series but I looked it up and was confused whether the whole series was the ‘Clan of the Cave [name_m]Bear[/name_m]’ or if it was just the one book with sequels but I will be sure to read it when I have finished my Song of Ice and [name_m]Fire[/name_m] series by [name_m]George[/name_m] R.R. [name_m]Martin[/name_m]! I actually like the idea of honouring the author with her name but not sure how it would sound lol and not so fond of the name [name_u]Jean[/name_u] unfortunately :confused: Thanks for the ideas, it’s really helping!
