I prefer [name_f]Ariana[/name_f]!

[name_f]Ariana[/name_f] [name_f]Catherine[/name_f]
[name_f]Ariana[/name_f] [name_f]Josephine[/name_f]

[name_f]Ariana[/name_f]! [name_f]Ariana[/name_f] [name_f]Catherine[/name_f] would be lovely.

Oooh [name_f]Alethea[/name_f] is so gorgeous, and I think any of those middles would work with it

I love the name Alethea! I know someone with a daughter named Alethea and every time I hear it I absolutely love it. So unique and pretty. Alethea Frances… Alethea Catherine… love them!

[name_f]Ariana[/name_f]!

[name_f]Alethea[/name_f] !

[name_f]Alethea[/name_f] is lovely!!!

[name_f]Alethea[/name_f] [name_f]Constance[/name_f]

I really like [name_f]Alethea[/name_f]! [name_f]Alethea[/name_f] [name_f]Frances[/name_f] is my favourite combination, but I also quite like [name_f]Alethea[/name_f] [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] and [name_f]Alethea[/name_f] [name_f]Mary[/name_f].

I prefer [name_f]Ariana[/name_f].

I would go for [name_f]Alethea[/name_f]. It’s a lovely and rare name. I really like the sound of [name_f]Ariana[/name_f] but I would worry about constant [name_f]Ariana[/name_f] [name_f]Grande[/name_f] comments.

I prefer [name_f]Alethea[/name_f]! [name_f]Alethea[/name_f] [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] is lovely.

[name_f]Ariana[/name_f]!

[name_f]Ariana[/name_f]

I love [name_f]Alethea[/name_f]! So pretty and ethereal sounding, I like [name_f]Ariana[/name_f] but I know quite a few little Ariana/Ariannas so I like the more uniqueness of [name_f]Alethea[/name_f].

As for middle names I like your style of more traditional middles with a more unusual first name. I really like [name_f]Alethea[/name_f] [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f].

It’s very hard, but I slightly prefer [name_f]Alethea[/name_f]. They’re both so pretty though!
[name_f]Alethea[/name_f] [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f]

[name_f]Ariana[/name_f] [name_f]Constance[/name_f]
[name_f]Ariana[/name_f] [name_f]Josephine[/name_f]

I prefer [name_f]Ariana[/name_f]. [name_f]Ariana[/name_f] [name_f]Mary[/name_f] or [name_f]Ariana[/name_f] [name_f]Catherine[/name_f] would be lovely.

I love [name_f]Alethea[/name_f] on paper but when I say it out loud it feels lispy to me so I prefer [name_f]Ariana[/name_f]

[name_f]Alethea[/name_f] :relaxed:

[name_f]Alethea[/name_f] [name_f]Constance[/name_f] [name_f]Mary[/name_f] :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

I used to feel that way about the pronunciation until I started saying it “al-ih-THAY-uh”
