We have a little girl due in [name_u]August[/name_u].
We’d like her middle names to honour family members who are no longer with us so looking at
[name_f]Shirley[/name_f] [name_f]Alice[/name_f]
[name_f]Shirley[/name_f] [name_f]Mae[/name_f] ([name_f]Mary[/name_f])
[name_f]Shirley[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f]
We can not decide on a first name at all.
Top contenders so far have been [name_f]Esme[/name_f] and [name_f]Amelia[/name_f] but we’ve just not stuck on anything.
Any thoughts?
I like [name_f]Esme[/name_f] 
[name_f]Esme[/name_f] [name_f]Shirley[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] is sweet

I like [name_f]Esme[/name_f] and I also think [name_f]Esme[/name_f] [name_f]Shirley[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] would be great. Some other suggestions:

I [name_u]LOVE[/name_u] [name_f]Esme[/name_f]! It’s my favourite name and it feels sophisticated, has a lovely meaning, and is known but not common. [name_f]Esme[/name_f] [name_f]Shirley[/name_f] [name_f]Alice[/name_f] or [name_f]Esme[/name_f] [name_f]Shirley[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] are both nice.
I really like [name_f]Amelia[/name_f] [name_f]Shirley[/name_f] [name_f]Mae[/name_f] 
I love [name_f]Esme[/name_f] so much!!
[name_f]Esme[/name_f] [name_f]Shirley[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] is a great combination
Thanks lovely ladies.
Husband has decided he doesn’t like [name_f]Mae[/name_f] or [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] as middle names now but likes [name_f]Alice[/name_f]. So looks like we’re going for [name_f]Shirley[/name_f] [name_f]Alice[/name_f] as the middle name combo.
Naming humans is hard!
I think [name_f]Shirley[/name_f] [name_f]Alice[/name_f] is a lovely set of middle names! [name_f]Alice[/name_f] topped my shortlist for girls for many years, and I’ve been enamored with [name_f]Shirley[/name_f] ever since watching The Haunting of [name_m]Hill[/name_m] House. You’re on a great track so far!
[name_f]Esme[/name_f] [name_f]Shirley[/name_f] [name_f]Alice[/name_f] - I think [name_f]Esme[/name_f] is stunning. Sweet, demure, and charming with a soft vintage feel and a core of velvety strength. I love [name_f]Esme[/name_f] with [name_f]Alice[/name_f], but I’m not sure the whole combo is my favorite, and I’m not sure it feels like you think it’s the one.
[name_f]Amelia[/name_f] [name_f]Shirley[/name_f] [name_f]Alice[/name_f] - I think [name_f]Amelia[/name_f] flows quite well with [name_f]Shirley[/name_f]. There are some great associations here, from the fairytale-esque [name_f]Amelia[/name_f] Pond to the brave and iconic [name_f]Amelia[/name_f] [name_f]Earhart[/name_f]. This would be a great name, but I sense that you’re not madly in love with it.
Some more suggestions:
[name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] [name_f]Shirley[/name_f] [name_f]Alice[/name_f] - I love this for you. It’s of the same era as [name_f]Shirley[/name_f] and [name_f]Alice[/name_f], and makes a great stylistic bridge between them.
