A Middle for Marigold 🌈

[seawillow]

Hello, friends!

[name_f][/name_f]

I absolutely adore the name [name_f]Marigold[/name_f][name_f][/name_f]. It’s been on my list for ages, although I am rather hot and cold on it depending on the day. [name_f]My[/name_f] current combo is [name_f]Marigold[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f][name_f][/name_f] However, I’ve been loving [name_f]Winifred[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f][name_f][/name_f] as my “Grace” combo lately, so I would like to find a new middle for [name_f]Marigold[/name_f].

[name_f][/name_f]

So far, I’ve toyed with:

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Marigold[/name_f] [name_f]Faith[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Marigold[/name_f] [name_f]Evelyn[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Marigold[/name_f] [name_f]Eve[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Marigold[/name_f] [name_f]Hannah[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Marigold[/name_f] [name_f]Abigail[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Marigold[/name_f] [name_m]True[/name_m]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Marigold[/name_f] [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f]

[name_f][/name_f]

I’m not quite sure about any of them, although I’m leaning towards [name_f]Marigold[/name_f] [name_f]Faith[/name_f], [name_f]Marigold[/name_f] [name_m]True[/name_m], and [name_f]Marigold[/name_f] [name_f]Hannah[/name_f].

[name_f][/name_f]

What middle do you think [name_f]Marigold[/name_f][name_f][/name_f] should have? [name_f]Do[/name_f] I already have a winner here? If not, do you have any suggestions? I would like the name to have a positive meaning go semi-well with my favorite names – [name_f]Lucy[/name_f] [name_f]Hallelujah[/name_f], [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] [name_f]Love[/name_f], [name_f]Cornelia[/name_f] [name_f]Joy[/name_f], [name_f]Ada[/name_f] [name_f]Remember[/name_f], etc.

[name_f][/name_f]

Also, my names are NOT[name_f][/name_f] for real kiddos, so usability isn’t a factor!

[name_f][/name_f]

Much love,

[name_f][/name_f]

From your list, I really love the warm, cosy familiarity of [name_f]Marigold[/name_f] [name_f]Hannah[/name_f] (I feel like a more cosy name for a middle makes it extra matchy with the rest of your UC!) and the beautiful sound of [name_f]Marigold[/name_f] [name_f]Eve[/name_f]. I’d probably avoid using another long name or a word name with [name_f]Marigold[/name_f] (ignoring that [name_f]Eve[/name_f] can also be a word name, shh!)

[name_f][/name_f]

Maybe [name_f]Marigold[/name_f] [name_f]Tessa[/name_f] / [name_f]Marigold[/name_f] [name_f]Tess[/name_f], [name_f]Marigold[/name_f] [name_f]Vera[/name_f], [name_f]Marigold[/name_f] [name_f]Thalia[/name_f], [name_f]Marigold[/name_f] [name_f]Tallulah[/name_f], [name_f]Marigold[/name_f] [name_f]Shiloh[/name_f], [name_f]Marigold[/name_f] [name_f]Sybil[/name_f], [name_f]Marigold[/name_f] [name_f]Sally[/name_f], [name_f]Marigold[/name_f] [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f], [name_f]Marigold[/name_f] [name_f]Ruth[/name_f], [name_f]Marigold[/name_f] [name_f]Niamh[/name_f], [name_f]Marigold[/name_f] [name_f]Nell[/name_f], [name_f]Marigold[/name_f] [name_f]Louisa[/name_f], [name_f]Marigold[/name_f] [name_f]Lainey[/name_f], [name_f]Marigold[/name_f] [name_f]Helen[/name_f], [name_f]Marigold[/name_f] [name_f]Harriett[/name_f], [name_f]Marigold[/name_f] [name_f]Frances[/name_f], [name_f]Marigold[/name_f] [name_f]Estelle[/name_f], [name_f]Marigold[/name_f] [name_f]Eliza[/name_f], [name_f]Marigold[/name_f] [name_f]Cleo[/name_f], [name_f]Marigold[/name_f] [name_f]Clara[/name_f], [name_f]Marigold[/name_f] [name_f]Anya[/name_f]?

[EloiseT]

I think you’ve picked the three strongest of your list! Faith is my fave as I like the name the best of the three but Hannah has something really open, warm and homespun about it.

Meanwhile, I think Grace - and Abigail - too G heavy. And Cordelia almost competes with Marigold (to me).

Otherwise, how about:

Marigold Jane
Marigold Faye
Marigold Catherine
Marigold Elaine
Marigold Helen
Marigold Willa
Marigold Claire
Marigold Kate
Marigold June
Marigold Susan
Marigold Louise / Louisa

They’re not virtue names but think they match Marigold while also playing second fiddle.

[OliveShoot]

[name_f]Marigold[/name_f] is so sweet, and I like all of your middle name ideas.

[name_f][/name_f]

Here are a few more, might repeat some:

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Marigold[/name_f] [name_f]Claire[/name_f]

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Marigold[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f]

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Marigold[/name_f] LaRue

[love.endures]

I feel the same way about Marigold & have also struggled with finding the right middle for her. I absolutely love Marigold Faith! She is gentle, steadfast, & warm I might be a little biased as my sweet sister’s name is Faith. Marigold True is my 2nd favorite from your list
Other ideas:
Marigold Blessing
Marigold Amias
Marigold Praise
Marigold Winsome
Marigold Blythe
Marigold Jubilee
Marigold Promise
Marigold Alethea
Marigold Thallo (bringer of marigold blossoms)

I love [name_f]Marigold[/name_f]!

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Marigold[/name_f] [name_f]Hannah[/name_f] and [name_f]Marigold[/name_f] [name_f]Evelyn[/name_f] are pretty

[name_f][/name_f]

I like

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Marigold[/name_f] [name_f]Iris[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Marigold[/name_f] [name_f]Mary[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Marigold[/name_f] [name_f]Alexandra[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Marigold[/name_f] [name_f]Lucy[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Marigold[/name_f] [name_f]Susan[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Marigold[/name_f] [name_f]Patricia[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Marigold[/name_f] [name_f]Avery[/name_f]

[kachenka]

[name_f]Marigold[/name_f] [name_f]Faith[/name_f] is perfect. I love [name_f]Faith[/name_f] but find it’s a difficult one to place – here it really works. It complements your favourites really nicely too.

[name_f][/name_f]

If not, here are a few more ideas:

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Marigold[/name_f] [name_f]Calla[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Marigold[/name_f] [name_f]Galilee[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Marigold[/name_f] [name_f]Selah[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Marigold[/name_f] [name_f]Rejoice[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Marigold[/name_f] [name_f]Verity[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Marigold[/name_f] [name_f]Esme[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Marigold[/name_f] [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Marigold[/name_f] [name_f]Irene[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Marigold[/name_f] [name_f]Aoife[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Marigold[/name_f] [name_f]Constance[/name_f]

[Greyblue]

[name_f]Marigold[/name_f] [name_f]Hannah[/name_f] is beautiful! Balanced, warm and strong! I think [name_f]Marigold[/name_f] [name_f]Faith[/name_f] has a nice sound and spiritual feeling about it, while [name_f]Marigold[/name_f] [name_m]True[/name_m] sounds poetic and lovely. I’d agree those are the best on your list, with [name_f]Marigold[/name_f] [name_f]Hannah[/name_f] my being my personal fave, followed by [name_f]Faith[/name_f]

[name_f][/name_f]

I’ll throw in the ideas of:
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Marigold[/name_f] [name_f]Liv[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Marigold[/name_f] [name_f]Celia[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Marigold[/name_f] [name_f]Liza[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Marigold[/name_f] [name_f]Clara[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Marigold[/name_f] [name_f]Esme[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Marigold[/name_f] [name_f]Cherish[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Marigold[/name_f] [name_f]Lois[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Marigold[/name_f] [name_f]Prue[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Marigold[/name_f] [name_f]Elspeth[/name_f]

I love Marigold

I really love Marigold she’s such a joyous choice that has a naturally sunny disposition. She definitely works with the likes of Lucy Hallelujah, Evangeline Love, Cornelia Joy & Ada Remember and if it was
me I would completely embrace this positive noun theme you have going on by choosing Faith in the middle spot.

Faith is such a lovely middle name really sweet, homespun, virtue choice. I think Faith sounds gorgeous with Marigold really wholesome. Such a lovely name. I also love Faith! Faith is beautiful. One of my favourites.

You’ve had lots of lovely suggestions so count any repeats as me being in agreement with the berries

Marigold Blessing
Marigold Prosper
Marigold Hope
Marigold Winsome
Marigold Truly
Marigold Evermore
Marigold Vision
Marigold Nobel

Hope this helps

@tallemaja[name_f][/name_f], thank you so much, [name_f]Maya[/name_f]! I am really loving [name_f]Marigold[/name_f] [name_f]Hannah[/name_f]. I also love [name_f]Marigold[/name_f] [name_f]Shiloh[/name_f] (!!), [name_f]Marigold[/name_f] [name_f]Helen[/name_f], [name_f]Marigold[/name_f] [name_f]Eliza[/name_f], and [name_f]Marigold[/name_f] [name_f]Vera[/name_f].

[name_f][/name_f]

@EloiseT[name_f][/name_f], [name_f]Marigold[/name_f] [name_f]Faye[/name_f] is beyond gorgeous! Thank you so very much for your input and suggestions. It’s very appreciated!

[name_f][/name_f]

@OliveShoot[name_f][/name_f], thank you! I agree – [name_f]Marigold[/name_f] is just the sweetest! I’ve always adored [name_f]Jane[/name_f], and [name_f]Marigold[/name_f] may be a perfect fit with it! I also really like LaRue (Larue, perhaps). So cute!

[name_f][/name_f]

@love.endures[name_f][/name_f], [name_f]Faith[/name_f] is such a lovely name! Some might see it as dated in 2025, but I absolutely adore a virtue name (obviously) and [name_f]Faith[/name_f] is one of the best! I love, love, love [name_f]Marigold[/name_f] [name_f]Promise[/name_f]. Thank you so much for your time and feedback!

[name_f][/name_f]

@spring_rain[name_f][/name_f], thank you for all of the suggestions! [name_f]Marigold[/name_f] [name_f]Susan[/name_f] is lovely. I have [name_f]Susanna[/name_f] [name_f]Blythe[/name_f] on my short list, but I love the idea of [name_f]Susan[/name_f] as a middle name. It reminds me of The Chronicles of [name_f]Narnia[/name_f].[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f][/name_f]

@kachenka[name_f][/name_f], thank you! [name_f]Marigold[/name_f] [name_f]Selah[/name_f] is gorgeous.[name_f][/name_f] I don’t know why [name_f]Selah[/name_f] isn’t on my list [name_f][/name_f] already! [name_f]Marigold[/name_f] [name_f]Esme[/name_f] and [name_f]Marigold[/name_f] [name_f]Constance[/name_f] are also incredible. Thanks again!

[name_f][/name_f]

@Greyblue[name_f][/name_f], thank you ever so much, friend! I must admit I am quite tempted by [name_f]Marigold[/name_f] [name_f]Hannah[/name_f] today. But I adore your idea of [name_f]Marigold[/name_f] [name_f]Liv[/name_f] (!!) and [name_f]Marigold[/name_f] [name_f]Prue[/name_f]. I find [name_f]Prue[/name_f] so hard to place, but she’s gorgeous here.

[name_f][/name_f]

@tori101[name_f][/name_f], I do love [name_f]Faith[/name_f]. I think as of now my top choices are [name_f]Marigold[/name_f] [name_f]Hannah[/name_f], [name_f]Marigold[/name_f] [name_f]Faith[/name_f], and [name_f]Marigold[/name_f] [name_f]Selah[/name_f]. Your idea of [name_f]Marigold[/name_f] [name_m]Prosper[/name_m] is brilliant.[name_f][/name_f] Thank you so, so much! I can never find a proper feminine combo for [name_m]Prosper[/name_m], but [name_m]Levi[/name_m] [name_m]Prosper[/name_m] is in my top ten for boys, so I do adore it. [name_f]Marigold[/name_f] [name_m]Prosper[/name_m] is definitely going on my maybes! [name_f][/name_f] Thanks again, friend.

[LibelluleClaire]

I had [name_f]Eve[/name_f] [name_f]Marigold[/name_f] on my list forever, but am no longer able to use it, so I came to suggest [name_f]Marigold[/name_f] [name_f]Eve[/name_f] and see you’ve already got it on your list!

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Marigold[/name_f] [name_f]Eve[/name_f] definitely gets my vote! I feel like [name_f]Eve[/name_f] balances out [name_f]Marigold[/name_f] well both in familiarity and sound without being opposite to it (I dont know how else to explain it). It makes me think of autumn sunsets and cool air.
