I’m struggling with middle names right; trying to balance Anglo-Celtic heritage with family names and Shakespearean favourites is so much harder than it sounds! Just wondering if you could list your favourites of these…‘‘foreign pns’’: Eilidh=AY-lee, Ailbhe=AL-veh, Aoife=EE-feh and Eibhlin=EV-lin - sorry, I know they’re awkward and similar if you’re unfamiliar with them
Sibylla Eilidh Margaret (nn Billie)
Ophelia Eilidh Margaret
Eilidh Viola Margaret
Agnes Ophelia Margaret (nn Aggie)
Celeste Amelia Margaret (nn Lettie)
Fenella Amelia Rosemary
Rosemary Beatrix Amelia (nn Romy/Mosie)
Bluebell Agnes Amelia (nn Billie)
[name_f]Agnes[/name_f] [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f] [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f]
[name_f]Eibhlin[/name_f] [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f] [name_f]Margaret[/name_f]
[name_f]Eilidh[/name_f] [name_f]Celeste[/name_f] [name_f]Viola[/name_f]
[name_f]Ophelia[/name_f] [name_f]Eilidh[/name_f] [name_f]Margaret[/name_f]
Best options in no particular order:
[name_f]Ophelia[/name_f] [name_f]Eilidh[/name_f] [name_f]Margaret[/name_f]
I would mix up the [name_f]Fenella[/name_f] combo’s to [name_f]Fenella[/name_f] [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f] for better flow
[name_f]Ophelia[/name_f] [name_f]Eilidh[/name_f] [name_f]Margaret[/name_f]

[name_f]Eilidh[/name_f] [name_f]Viola[/name_f] [name_f]Margaret[/name_f].
I also like [name_f]Celeste[/name_f] as a first name, but not with [name_f]Amelia[/name_f].
[name_f]Eilidh[/name_f] [name_f]Viola[/name_f] [name_f]Margaret[/name_f]
[name_f]Rosemary[/name_f] [name_f]Eibhlin[/name_f] [name_f]Amelia[/name_f]
[name_f]Celeste[/name_f] [name_f]Amelia[/name_f] [name_f]Margaret[/name_f]
[name_f]My[/name_f] favorite from your list is [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f] [name_u]Ailbhe[/name_u] [name_f]Margaret[/name_f].
I really like your [name_f]Eilidh[/name_f], [name_f]Agnes[/name_f], and [name_f]Sibylla[/name_f] combos, but my favorite is definitely [name_f]Fenella[/name_f] [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] [name_f]Margaret[/name_f].
[name_f]Agnes[/name_f] [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f] [name_f]Margaret[/name_f]
Couldn’t pick my favorite 3, but have two combos tied for both 1. place and 2. place.
[name_f]Eilidh[/name_f] [name_f]Viola[/name_f] [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] or [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f] [name_f]Eibhlin[/name_f] [name_f]Amelia[/name_f]
[name_f]Agnes[/name_f] [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f] [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] (nn [name_f]Aggie[/name_f]) or [name_f]Celeste[/name_f] [name_f]Amelia[/name_f] [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] (nn [name_f]Lettie[/name_f])
[name_f]Eilidh[/name_f] [name_f]Viola[/name_f] [name_f]Margaret[/name_f]

I like these, but if you’re in the US, you might avoid the pronunciation issues by keeping [name_f]Eilidh[/name_f] out of the first name spot (though it’s lovely!)
[name_f]Sibylla[/name_f] [name_f]Eilidh[/name_f] [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] (nn [name_u]Billie[/name_u])
I am completely in love with your two options you have listed, they are just perfection! [name_f]Agnes[/name_f] [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f] [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] and [name_f]Bluebell[/name_f] [name_f]Aoife[/name_f] [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] - they are just so beautiful!
If I were to pick a third option I’d go with [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f] [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] [name_f]Amelia[/name_f]!
[name_f]Ophelia[/name_f] [name_u]Ailbhe[/name_u] [name_f]Margaret[/name_f]
[name_f]Agnes[/name_f] [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f] [name_f]Margaret[/name_f]
[name_f]Rosemary[/name_f] [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] [name_f]Amelia[/name_f]
[name_f]Ophelia[/name_f] [name_f]Eilidh[/name_f] [name_f]Margaret[/name_f]
[name_m]Just[/name_m] a thought, if you have to explain the pronunciations to berries you are going to have nothing but trouble trying to use those names in the “real world”.
