[name_m]Hi[/name_m],

First baby due in a couple of weeks, I would like thoughts on name combos below. Surname similar to Johns, middle names have meaning in our family.

  • [name_f]Claire[/name_f] [name_f]Florence[/name_f] Johns

  • [name_f]Claire[/name_f] [name_f]Juliette[/name_f] Johns

  • [name_f]Claire[/name_f] [name_f]Julianna[/name_f] Johns

  • [name_f]Claire[/name_f] [name_f]Marianna[/name_f] Johns

  • Above combinations with [name_f]Clara[/name_f] (pronunciation Klah-rah) instead of [name_f]Claire[/name_f]

  • [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f] [name_f]Florence[/name_f] Johns (pronunciation [name_f]Em[/name_f]-e-leen)

  • [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f] [name_f]Mabel[/name_f] Johns

  • Above combinations with [name_f]Amelie[/name_f] (pronunciation [name_f]Ama[/name_f]-lee) instead of [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f]

Thank you

I really like [name_f]Florence[/name_f] as the middle for both, it would be my first pick for either. I also like [name_f]Claire[/name_f] [name_f]Julianna[/name_f] and [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f] [name_f]Mabel[/name_f].
I prefer the line pronunciation over the leen of [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f], but it still wins over [name_f]Claire[/name_f] for me due to its beautiful femininity. I prefer [name_f]Clara[/name_f] over [name_f]Claire[/name_f] as well, and [name_f]Clara[/name_f] [name_f]Florence[/name_f] is very pretty to me. I am not a fan of [name_f]Amelie[/name_f] as a name, but am a huge fan of [name_f]Amelia[/name_f] and [name_f]Amelie[/name_f] as a nn. [name_f]Amelie[/name_f] [name_f]Mabel[/name_f] could be cute.
Overall, I like [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f] [name_f]Florence[/name_f], [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f] [name_f]Mabel[/name_f], and [name_f]Clara[/name_f] [name_f]Florence[/name_f].

[name_f]Claire[/name_f] [name_f]Juliana[/name_f] is beautiful!! [name_f]Clara[/name_f] [name_f]Juliet[/name_f] is amazing too
[name_f]Emmeline[/name_f] [name_f]Mabel[/name_f] is beautiful but i think my favourite would be [name_f]Amelie[/name_f] [name_f]Florence[/name_f]!!

[name_f]Claire[/name_f] [name_f]Florence[/name_f] or [name_f]Claire[/name_f] [name_f]Juliette[/name_f] :slight_smile:

[name_f]Emmeline[/name_f]! I am biased it is my daughter’s middle name. I like either [name_f]Florence[/name_f] or [name_f]Mabel[/name_f].

[name_f]Amelie[/name_f] [name_f]Florence[/name_f] is my favourite choice followed by [name_f]Clara[/name_f] [name_f]Florence[/name_f] and [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f] [name_f]Florence[/name_f]. All beautiful names!

I like [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f] [name_f]Florence[/name_f] and [name_f]Clara[/name_f] [name_f]Juliette[/name_f].

  1. [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f] [name_f]Florence[/name_f]
  2. [name_f]Amelie[/name_f] [name_f]Florence[/name_f]
    I don’t think [name_f]Claire[/name_f] sounds the best with your surname, since they’re both just one syllable. I adore [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f]! It’s so sweet, vintage and underused.

Hm, not sure if I prefer [name_f]Claire[/name_f] or [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f]. Both lovely either way. I love the spirited vibe of [name_f]Claire[/name_f] and the poetic feel of [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f].

[name_f]Claire[/name_f] [name_f]Florence[/name_f] or [name_f]Claire[/name_f] [name_f]Juliette[/name_f] would be my choices.
[name_f]Clara[/name_f] is lovely too. I think it would sound great with the same middle names. I still prefer [name_f]Claire[/name_f].

[name_f]Emmeline[/name_f] [name_f]Florence[/name_f] has a romantic sound and I like it.
[name_f]Amelie[/name_f] is nice, but I still like [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f] better.

Other suggestions:
[name_f]Emmeline[/name_f] [name_f]Claire[/name_f]
[name_f]Claire[/name_f] [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f]

Would sound good together:
[name_f]Emmeline[/name_f] [name_f]Iris[/name_f]
[name_f]Claire[/name_f] [name_f]Josephine[/name_f]
[name_f]Emmeline[/name_f] [name_u]Eloise[/name_u]
[name_f]Claire[/name_f] [name_u]Eloise[/name_u]
[name_f]Emmeline[/name_f] [name_u]Ruby[/name_u]
[name_f]Claire[/name_f] [name_f]Daisy[/name_f]

[name_f]Clara[/name_f] [name_f]Florence[/name_f] is my favorite for you! Gorgeous.

Thanks for all the suggestions and comments. I have narrowed down to:

[name_f]Clara[/name_f] [name_f]Juliette[/name_f]
[name_f]Emmeline[/name_f] [name_f]Florence[/name_f]
[name_f]Claire[/name_f] [name_f]Florence[/name_f]

I feel the name [name_f]Claire[/name_f] is pretty safe, although agree doesn’t sound as good with a single syllable surname. I like [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f] a lot, but am worried people will confuse it too much with [name_f]Emily[/name_f] and think it is made up (I have had a couple comments that they have never heard of it before…). Any thoughts on that?
