We’re not yet expecting, but hubby and I have officially decided on middle names for our first children.
Our first son will have the middle name [name]August[/name] after hubby’s grandfather, and our first daughter will have the middle name [name]Adeline[/name] after my grandmother.
What I’m wondering from you amazing berries, is what first names you would choose?
(Our last name starts with a B and rhymes with “march”)
Thanks Berries!
I adore [name]August[/name]!
[name]Edmund[/name] [name]August[/name]
[name]Nicolas[/name] [name]August[/name]
[name]Victor[/name] [name]August[/name]
[name]Phineas[/name] [name]August[/name]
[name]Fabian[/name] [name]August[/name]
[name]Walter[/name] [name]August[/name]
[name]Jolyon[/name] [name]August[/name]
[name]Gregory[/name] [name]August[/name]
[name]Mary[/name] [name]Adeline[/name]
[name]Juniper[/name] [name]Adeline[/name]
[name]Lydia[/name] [name]Adeline[/name]
[name]Frances[/name] [name]Adeline[/name]
[name]Juliet[/name] [name]Adeline[/name]
[name]Florence[/name] [name]Adeline[/name]
[name]Helen[/name] [name]Adeline[/name]
[name]Lilias[/name] [name]Adeline[/name]
Thank you! I was really excited to learn that our grandparents have such amazing middle names! ([name]Both[/name] [name]August[/name] and [name]Adeline[/name] are their middles) I would put them both up front, but I’m not a fan of [name]Augie[/name] or [name]Gus[/name] and [name]Adeline[/name] is just become much more popular than I would like. Makes me sad, really…
My current top favorite names are [name]Mabel[/name] [name]Adeline[/name] and [name]Lincoln[/name] [name]August[/name]. I think hubby is maybe on board with [name]Mabel[/name], but not so much [name]Lincoln[/name].
Of your suggestions I like:
[name]Walter[/name] [name]August[/name] - though a family friend has a dog named [name]Walter[/name]…
and
[name]Juliet[/name] [name]Adeline[/name] - do you think it is too close to “[name]Julie[/name]”? I have an aunt named [name]Julie[/name] that I don’t really want to use as a namesake
[name]Lydia[/name] [name]Adeline[/name] - I do really like this. Unfortunately, I wrote a script and used her as my lead character…a serial killer. 
I’ve never heard of [name]Jolyon[/name] before…
It’s the Medieval form of [name]Julian[/name], which I’ve always found simpering. Might be that odious character in [name]Bridget[/name] [name]Jones[/name].
To me, a family friend’s dog isn’t really a consideration in the naming process unless you will see the dog very, very frequently. [name]Mabel[/name] [name]Adeline[/name] is delightful, I really don’t like [name]Lincoln[/name] - it’s all car and surname, ans
As for [name]Juliet[/name], I would err on the side of caution when it comes to that namesake; it is so very close - how about [name]Octavia[/name], [name]Flavia[/name], [name]Cleo[/name] or [name]Harriet[/name]?
I actually love [name]Hattie[/name]. Can that be a nn for anything other than [name]Harriet[/name]? I very much don’t like [name]Harriet[/name]. All I can think of is “So I Married an [name]Axe[/name] Murderer”…
I think a 3 syllable fn would work well with [name]Adeline[/name] - going to use [name]March[/name] as the last name just to clarify so M names dont imply alliteration.
[name]Vivienne[/name] [name]Adeline[/name] [name]March[/name]
[name]Genevieve[/name] [name]Adeline[/name] [name]March[/name]
[name]Meredith[/name] [name]Adeline[/name] [name]March[/name]
[name]Eloise[/name] [name]Adeline[/name] [name]March[/name]
[name]Josephine[/name] [name]Adeline[/name] [name]March[/name] (depending on how your’e saying [name]Adeline[/name])
[name]Georgia[/name] [name]Adeline[/name] [name]March[/name]
[name]Carolina[/name] [name]Adeline[/name] [name]March[/name] (too rhymey?)
Suggestions for [name]August[/name]
[name]Edward[/name] [name]August[/name] [name]March[/name]
[name]James[/name] [name]August[/name] [name]March[/name]
[name]Henry[/name] [name]August[/name] [name]March[/name] (maybe too popular?)
Loving [name]Eloise[/name] [name]Adeline[/name] (I say [name]Add[/name]-a-line) and [name]Henry[/name] [name]August[/name]!
Though you are correct, I think [name]Henry[/name] might be too popular.
[name]Hattie[/name] could be a nickname for [name]Henrietta[/name], or maybe [name]Charlotte[/name]? [name]Helen[/name], [name]Hermione[/name] (that could give you [name]Hettie[/name], too), or [name]Hyacinth[/name]?
If you like [name]Henry[/name] [name]August[/name] maybe you would like
[name]William[/name] [name]August[/name]
[name]Joseph[/name] [name]August[/name]
[name]Andrew[/name] [name]August[/name]
[name]Theodore[/name] [name]August[/name]
[name]Vincent[/name] [name]August[/name]
[name]Isaac[/name] [name]August[/name]
Then some other names I came across
[name]Clayton[/name] [name]August[/name]
[name]Wendell[/name] [name]August[/name]
[name]Laurence[/name]/[name]Lawrence[/name] [name]August[/name]
[name]Nathaniel[/name] [name]August[/name]
[name]Love[/name] [name]August[/name] and [name]Adeline[/name]! I’ve toyed with [name]Jack[/name] [name]August[/name] (which obviously stuck, haha) and [name]Daphne[/name] [name]Adeline[/name]. What about:
[name]Elias[/name] [name]August[/name]
[name]Caleb[/name] [name]August[/name]
[name]Felix[/name] [name]August[/name]
[name]Julian[/name] [name]August[/name]
[name]Linus[/name] [name]August[/name]
[name]Zane[/name] [name]August[/name]
[name]Clara[/name] [name]Adeline[/name]
[name]Hazel[/name] [name]Adeline[/name]
[name]Georgiana[/name] [name]Adeline[/name]
[name]Olive[/name] [name]Adeline[/name]
[name]Tess[/name] [name]Adeline[/name]
[name]Poppy[/name] [name]Adeline[/name]
[name]Penelope[/name] [name]Adeline[/name]
[name]Fleur[/name] [name]Adeline[/name]
[name]Violet[/name] [name]Adeline[/name]
Good luck!
Unfortunatley these names are out because of family members or friends:
[name]Clara[/name]
[name]Olive[/name] (which I [name]ADORE[/name]!)
[name]Elias[/name] (my sister’s name is [name]Alia[/name] – I think its too close)
[name]Zane[/name]
[name]Caleb[/name]
[name]Nathaniel[/name]
[name]William[/name]
[name]Jack[/name]/[name]Jackson[/name]
[name]Andrew[/name] (my ex right before hubby…that’s not going to fly ;))
I love [name]Violet[/name], [name]Hazel[/name], [name]Wendell[/name], & [name]Felix[/name]. I’ve actually been trying to convince hubby of [name]Felix[/name] for awhile! He doesn’t mind [name]Hazel[/name], but likes [name]Mabel[/name] better…
I think I have to let go of my [name]Hattie[/name] like. I just can’t see myself using any of those full names, and I’m very much in need of a full name with the nickname. I’m fairly difficult…
Oh, I love [name]August[/name]!
I love [name]Julian[/name] [name]August[/name] and [name]Camilla[/name] [name]Adeline[/name].
Sorry for any repeats but here is what I like with [name]August[/name] and [name]Adeline[/name].
[name]Julian[/name] [name]August[/name]
[name]Theodore[/name] [name]August[/name]
[name]Henry[/name] [name]August[/name]
[name]Samuel[/name] [name]August[/name]
[name]Felix[/name] [name]August[/name]
[name]Jasper[/name] [name]August[/name]
[name]Benjamin[/name] [name]August[/name]
[name]Edward[/name] [name]August[/name]
[name]Milo[/name] [name]August[/name] or [name]Miles[/name] [name]August[/name]
[name]Jude[/name] [name]August[/name]
[name]Ronan[/name] [name]August[/name]

[name]Frederick[/name] [name]August[/name]
[name]Dexter[/name] [name]August[/name]
[name]Graham[/name] [name]August[/name]
[name]Declan[/name] [name]August[/name]
[name]Petra[/name] [name]Adeline[/name]
[name]Scarlett[/name] [name]Adeline[/name]
[name]Juliet[/name] [name]Adeline[/name]
[name]Beatrix[/name] [name]Adeline[/name]
[name]Juno[/name] [name]Adeline[/name]

[name]Nora[/name] [name]Adeline[/name]
[name]Phoebe[/name] [name]Adeline[/name]
[name]Clover[/name] [name]Adeline[/name]
Unfortunately [name]Julian[/name] is a no go for us. Bad memory… [name]Camilla[/name] is actually on our list! The only thing holding me back is its closeness to our dog’s name ([name]Kyra[/name]) and my in laws dog ([name]Kali[/name]). I think another C/K name will get too confusing…
What lovely middle name choices! I would use them in the first name spot though, they are just so popular.

[name]Maeve[/name] [name]Adeline[/name]
[name]Nora[/name] [name]Adeline[/name]
[name]Phoebe[/name] [name]Adeline[/name]
[name]Maeve[/name] is one of my [name]FAVORITE[/name] names! I’m just a little worried about the lack of syllables paired with a one syllable last name…
Am I being a spaz? (Our last name starts with a B and rhymes with [name]March[/name])
I like [name]Zephyr[/name] [name]August[/name], but I think it might be too out there for us to use. Its the kind of name I’d love to see on someone else’s kid. 
[name]Ethan[/name] has always been a favorite name of mine, but its become too popular over the years…
[name]Daniel[/name] [name]August[/name] - [name]Daniel[/name] is my husband’s name
[name]Leo[/name] [name]August[/name] - A friend has claimed this name and I don’t love it enough to argue over it
[name]Thackeray[/name] [name]August[/name] - What would a nickname for [name]Thackeray[/name] be? I like it, but I’d want something shorter as well
[name]Leah[/name] - my sister is [name]Alia[/name], this is too close
[name]Sophie[/name] - my cousin
[name]Phoebe[/name] [name]Adeline[/name] - I like it
[name]Iris[/name] [name]Adeline[/name] - Already on my list
[name]Ruby[/name] [name]Adeline[/name] - Another name that I’d love on someone else’s kid
