[name_f]Zoe[/name_f] [name_f]Adeline[/name_f] is perfect; I might be biased as it’s my favourite [name_f]Zoe[/name_f] combination!

I like electra the best, and I have heard it as a first name. However, there might be a bit much ‘e’ sound

I would use [name_f]Zoe[/name_f] [name_f]Adeline[/name_f], but I am kinda liking [name_f]Zoe[/name_f] [name_f]Electra[/name_f]:slight_smile: The others don’t flow as well, imo.

No, I don’t think [name_f]Electra[/name_f] is too much if you love it. The middle spot is really the best place to use the unexpected or gp names you love:D

All of them are pretty options. [name_f]Electra[/name_f] is a little out there, but as long as the association to the complex doesn’t bother you there’s nothing wrong with it. The middle is the perfect spot for out-there names.

I’ve had a crush on [name_f]Amandine[/name_f] for a long time, and this seems like the perfect place to use it. I find it so warm and unusual-yet-cozy.

[name_f]Zoe[/name_f] [name_f]Electra[/name_f] is so awesome! [name_f]Amandine[/name_f] is also really classy and unexpected.

I voted for [name_f]Adeline[/name_f] (hard choice between [name_f]Adeline[/name_f] and [name_f]Violette[/name_f], pretty close tie for me).

however, I saw the headline and [name_f]Minerva[/name_f] popped into my head.
[name_f]Zoe[/name_f] [name_f]Minerva[/name_f] has a nice ring. [name_f]Minerva[/name_f] means wise, intellect, and strong. Thought it had a similar vibe to the [name_f]Electra[/name_f] style.

[name_f]Hope[/name_f] this helps :slight_smile:

I voted for [name_f]Zoe[/name_f] [name_f]Adeline[/name_f] which I think is beautiful! I also really like [name_f]Zoe[/name_f] [name_f]Amandine[/name_f].

11

I really like [name_f]Zoe[/name_f] [name_f]Violette[/name_f]-- it’s sweet and pretty but strong too.

12

This is sooo tough! I’m sort of leaning towards [name_f]Electra[/name_f] (because I like something a bit more unusual/unexpected or “eclectic” for the Middle name. )

BUT [name_f]Adeline[/name_f] seems to be the most popular, pretty and “flowy” sounding. I just fear that [name_f]Adeline[/name_f] (like [name_f]Madeline[/name_f]) is moving up the charts and will be in the top 10 soon - also the pronounciation varies a lot with that name.
