Hi berries! Would love your thoughts on this name! I adore Adele Petra and have been looking for a second middle for her for a while. There’s a lot of options I like, but I’m having trouble committing to just one of them. I do like that I would include Natalia here, which is a family name I’ve been loving for a while now. Something about this feels really cozy to me, but partly it also just doesn’t feel as special as some of these other combos? Would love to know your favorite of all of these if it’s not Natalia, and feel free to suggest something if you like.
Some of my other favorites for reference:
Evangeline Dagny Louise
Vera Eliane Charlotte
Olivet Lyra Joy
Ariane Larkspur Eliza
Eleanor Lærke Grace
Arabella Lilac Jane
Adelaide Rahab Joy
Other Adele options I’m considering for reference:
Adele Petra Christiana
Adele Petra Elisabet
Adele Petra Galilea
Adele Petra Jacinthe
Adele Petra Liliosa
Adele Petra Magnolia
Adele Petra Rosamund
Adele Petra Seraphine
Adele Petra Susanna
Adele Rosamund Lily
Adele Sofia Eloise
[name_f]Adele[/name_f] [name_f]Petra[/name_f] is lovely and I enjoy [name_f]Adele[/name_f] [name_f]Petra[/name_f] [name_f]Natalia[/name_f]! [name_f]Natalia[/name_f] is one of those names that feels familiar but also has plenty of flair and brightness, so to me at least, [name_f]Adele[/name_f] [name_f]Petra[/name_f] [name_f]Natalia[/name_f] feels arty, bright and sparkly!

I also like:
[name_f][/name_f]
[name_f]Adele[/name_f] [name_f]Petra[/name_f] [name_f]Liliosa[/name_f] → this sounds gentle and sparky at the same time [name_f][/name_f]- I really like the flow of [name_f]Liliosa[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f]
[name_f]Adele[/name_f] [name_f]Petra[/name_f] [name_f]Susanna[/name_f] → quietly regal and sunny in feel
[name_f][/name_f]
[name_f]Adele[/name_f] [name_f]Petra[/name_f] [name_f]Magnolia[/name_f] → unexpectedly floral with a summery, vivid vibe
[name_f]Adele[/name_f] [name_f]Petra[/name_f] [name_f]Natalia[/name_f] feels bright, youthful, but with a slight rugged edge that I think comes from [name_f]Petra[/name_f]. I like how [name_f]Natalia[/name_f] picks up the ‘t’ sound from [name_f]Petra[/name_f] (and the ‘l’ from [name_f]Adele[/name_f] too). It’s all unexpectedly cohesive.

(Adelaide [name_f]Rahab[/name_f] [name_f]Joy[/name_f] is lovely [name_f][/name_f]- I feel like I never see Rahab.)

Of your other options for [name_f]Adele[/name_f], I like:
[name_f][/name_f]
[name_f]Adele[/name_f] [name_f]Petra[/name_f] [name_f]Christiana[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]- Flows well, and I like [name_f]Christiana[/name_f].
[name_f][/name_f]
[name_f]Adele[/name_f] [name_f]Petra[/name_f] [name_f]Elisabet[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]- [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] and variants never get old. [name_f]Elisabet[/name_f] adds a bit of strength, elegance and an international vibe to your combination.
[name_f][/name_f]
[name_f]Adele[/name_f] [name_f]Petra[/name_f] [name_f]Galilea[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]- I just like the flair of [name_f]Galilea[/name_f]. She makes the combo feel grander (and starrier).
[name_f][/name_f]
[name_f]Adele[/name_f] [name_f]Petra[/name_f] [name_f]Magnolia[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]- This is lovely. I can’t pin down why [name_f][/name_f]- [name_f]Magnolia[/name_f] is one of those names that’s simultaneously grand (because of the length and sound) and simple (because it’s a flower name). It makes any combo really sweet and pretty without sacrificing a backbone, I guess?
I think I like [name_f]Adele[/name_f] [name_f]Petra[/name_f] [name_f]Natalia[/name_f] best, its a gorgeous combo. Out of the others I also like [name_f]Adele[/name_f] [name_f]Petra[/name_f] [name_f]Magnolia[/name_f], [name_f]Adele[/name_f] [name_f]Petra[/name_f] [name_f]Rosamund[/name_f], [name_f]Adele[/name_f] [name_f]Petra[/name_f] [name_f]Susanna[/name_f], and [name_f]Adele[/name_f] [name_f]Rosamund[/name_f] [name_f]Lily[/name_f].
@Greyblue[name_f][/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]- I knew you’d go straight for [name_f]Adele[/name_f] [name_f]Petra[/name_f] [name_f]Liliosa[/name_f]! [name_f][/name_f] I don’t know if [name_f]Adele[/name_f] [name_f]Petra[/name_f] [name_f]Magnolia[/name_f] feels like me, but it’s a family name I’ve wanted to use for a while, and I’ve been in love with magnolia trees this spring… I love the image of a little girl with purple ribbons in her hair reading under a grove of magnolia trees, their perfume filling the air. [name_f][/name_f] I’m intrigued by [name_f]Adele[/name_f] [name_f]Petra[/name_f] [name_f]Mirabelle[/name_f], but don’t know if I like the repeated ends of [name_f]Adele[/name_f] and [name_f]Mirabelle[/name_f]? [name_f][/name_f] Maybe [name_f]Adele[/name_f] [name_f]Petra[/name_f] [name_f]Mireille[/name_f]? [name_f][/name_f] I want to love [name_f]Adele[/name_f] [name_f]Petra[/name_f] [name_f]Xanthe[/name_f], but the flow seems off? [name_f][/name_f] I do think I like her visually though!
[name_f][/name_f]
@GinnyPotter[name_f][/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]- thank you! [name_f][/name_f] [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f] [name_f]Rahab[/name_f] [name_f]Joy[/name_f] just snuck up on me… I read a novel about the Biblical [name_f]Rahab[/name_f] and fell in love with the author’s version of her story. [name_f][/name_f] I have been really smitten with [name_f]Adele[/name_f] [name_f]Petra[/name_f] [name_f]Elisabet[/name_f] today—Adele [name_f]Petra[/name_f] feels most right with an E middle for me, and my true [name_f]Adele[/name_f] love, [name_f]Adele[/name_f] [name_f]Petra[/name_f] Evangeline… I don’t think I could use it since [name_f]Adele[/name_f] and [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] are both in my top 3. [name_f][/name_f] [name_f]Galilea[/name_f] honors my grandmother… sometimes I adore it and sometimes I feel it’s too short visually? [name_f][/name_f] But I do like the pastoral images I get with [name_f]Petra[/name_f] [name_f]Galilea[/name_f]. [name_f]Marigold[/name_f] is really lovely, but I think I might like [name_f]Magnolia[/name_f] more with [name_f]Petra[/name_f]?
I love[name_f][/name_f] [name_f]Natalia[/name_f] for you, but I feel like there are just too many “A-” sounds close together in this combo? It is perfect for you, though, and flow is absolutely not the most important part of a name, so I wouldn’t completely rule it out.
[name_f][/name_f]
I adore the idea of [name_f]Adele[/name_f] [name_f]Petra[/name_f] [name_f]Liliosa[/name_f] and [name_f]Adele[/name_f] [name_f]Petra[/name_f] [name_f]Galilea[/name_f], too.
Oh thank you lovely! [name_f][/name_f] Yeah, I keep waffling on if [name_f]Natalia[/name_f] works with [name_f]Adele[/name_f] [name_f]Petra[/name_f] or not… I wonder if it’s close but not quite close enough? [name_f][/name_f] I had considered [name_f]Adele[/name_f] [name_f]Natalie[/name_f] _____ when I first started loving [name_f]Adele[/name_f], too. [name_f][/name_f] It is definitely one of my finalists but I’m not 100% sure about it yet.
[name_f][/name_f]
I’m glad you like [name_f]Adele[/name_f] [name_f]Petra[/name_f] [name_f]Galilea[/name_f] and [name_f]Adele[/name_f] [name_f]Petra[/name_f] [name_f]Liliosa[/name_f]! [name_f][/name_f] As I’ve been mulling on this thread I think I have my options down to [name_f]Natalia[/name_f], [name_f]Elisabet[/name_f], [name_f]Liliosa[/name_f], [name_f]Magnolia[/name_f], [name_f]Galilea[/name_f], and maybe Christiana—I had her as my middle for [name_f]Adele[/name_f] for years, but she didn’t click like I’d hoped she would, so part of me feels like going back to [name_f]Adele[/name_f] [name_f]Petra[/name_f] [name_f]Christiana[/name_f] is pointless, but I do love the combo.
[name_f][/name_f] but [name_f]Adele[/name_f] [name_f]Petra[/name_f] [name_f]Mireille[/name_f] is so pretty!!
