A middle name like Whimsy

Girl Names
1

Can anyone think of another fun, whimsical word name like “Whimsy” to go with the first name [name]Pearl[/name]? My 3-syllable surname starts with “S” so the middle name cannot begin with any of these letters: M, I, or U.

We might just go with Whimsy, but it’s the middle name of my best friend’s tween niece, so I’m not sure. I guess with such a completely unusual name, I’d rather it be my own original creation!

If it helps, DD1’s name is [name]Dahlia[/name] “[name]Dolly[/name]” [name]Bluebelle[/name].

Thanks!

[name]Just[/name] looking through the thesaurus, I found a couple synonyms for whimsy that have some name potential:

[name]Caprice[/name]
[name]Dream[/name]
[name]Fancy[/name]

[name]Winsome[/name]! I saw [name]Winsome[/name] listed at Behind the Name years ago, and thought it was a cute way to get the nn [name]Winnie[/name]. It seems to have since been removed from their archives. It’s rather similar in sound to Whimsy, and I think it could make a lovely middle name.

Wimsey is adorable. Here are my suggestions:

[name]Pearl[/name] Susilva
[name]Pearl[/name] Merryweather
[name]Pearl[/name] Arietty (pronounced Ar-ee-et-ee)
[name]Pearl[/name] [name]Wisteria[/name]

What about [name]Pearl[/name] [name]Kismet[/name]? ([name]Love[/name] the meaning of the word kismet, and I also think it’s a very cute name!).

10

[name]Pearl[/name] [name]Felicity[/name]?

Thanks for all the great suggestions (and the compliments on [name]Dahlia[/name]'s name)!

[name]Winsome[/name], [name]Kismet[/name], and [name]Reverie[/name] are all awesome. I’m definitely going to let those marinate.

I’m trying to have a different theme for DD2, but [name]Blossom[/name] and Bloom are both lovely and I may have to reconsider since neither are technically flowers.

DH has already vetoed Darling, but I think it’s a fantastic middle name.

I’m also adding [name]Ondine[/name] to my list because the water meaning goes well with [name]Pearl[/name].

Decisions, decisions. Naming the baby is the most stressful part of being pregnant, imo :slight_smile:

We are strongly considering the middle name of Wonder (but not with [name]Pearl[/name]). Although [name]Pearl[/name] Wonder may sound like a clearning product.

[name]Love[/name] the suggestion of [name]Winsome[/name]! What about…

[name]Pearl[/name] [name]Remarkable[/name] - love [name]Remarkable[/name] but it may be too masculine
[name]Pearl[/name] [name]Vienna[/name]
[name]Pearl[/name] Nightingale
[name]Pearl[/name] [name]Winter[/name]
[name]Pearl[/name] [name]Scarlett[/name]

[name]Pearl[/name] [name]Calia[/name]

Since [name]Dahlia[/name] and [name]Bluebell[/name] are both flowers, why not give [name]Pearl[/name] a middle name that is either another semi-precious stone or ocean related?

[name]Pearl[/name] Tourmaline
[name]Pearl[/name] Citrine
[name]Pearl[/name] [name]Amber[/name]
[name]Pearl[/name] Larimar

I love the idea of [name]Pearl[/name] [name]Kismet[/name]!

Maybe:

[name]Pearl[/name] Verily
[name]Pearl[/name] [name]Blythe[/name]
[name]Pearl[/name] Memory (too much like a bad [name]Avon[/name] fragrance?)
[name]Pearl[/name] [name]Celestial[/name]
[name]Pearl[/name] [name]Avalon[/name]
