ETA: My girl name list is in post #15. It’ll help get a feel on the type of names I like.
I’ve recently added [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] into my top 4 girl names, but I have no idea what middle name I would pair it with. I typically like traditional classic names. My naming style has been called “classic, solid names with a few more daring or more biblical ones”.
I don’t like misspelled names, made up names, unisex names or boy names on girls.
These are my three other combinations. I don’t want any names similar to these.
[name_f]Madeleine[/name_f] [name_f]Pearl[/name_f]
[name_f]Caroline[/name_f] [name_f]Hazel[/name_f]
[name_f]Rosemary[/name_f] [name_f]Gloria[/name_f]
Some combinations I’ve been thinking of, but I’m not sure about are [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] [name_f]Naomi[/name_f] and [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f]. [name_f]Naomi[/name_f] and [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] are family names.
What middle name would you pair up with [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f]?
Suggestions please!
Thank you, Berries!
I lean toward one or two syllables for middle names and I do like to put more unusual names in the middle spot.
To get a feel on my naming style I’ll post my complete girl list in a little while.
[name_f]Claire[/name_f] - I used to like [name_f]Claire[/name_f], but not so much anymore.
[name_u]Rae[/name_u] - [name_u]Rae[/name_u] is too short and I don’t like the -ae. It looks a bit tryndy.
[name_f]Grace[/name_f] - I don’t like the sound of it and I have a a negative association with someone named [name_f]Grace[/name_f]
[name_f]Rosalee[/name_f] - [name_m]Way[/name_m] too close to [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f]. All [name_f]Rose[/name_f] names are out!
[name_f]Juliana[/name_f] - I do like [name_f]Juliana[/name_f], but I love [name_f]Juliet[/name_f] so much more. I wouldn’t be willing to give it up for [name_f]Juliana[/name_f].
[name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] [name_f]Estelle[/name_f] - I don’t like the alliteration of it.
[name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] [name_f]Violet[/name_f] - I like it! It’s definitely a possibility because it would honor my grandmothers as it is her birth month flower.
[name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] [name_f]Flora[/name_f] - Pretty, but I don’t like it for myself.
[name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] [name_f]Hattie[/name_f] - It’s too nicknamey to me.
[name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] [name_u]June[/name_u] - This used to be on my list! I had [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f] [name_u]June[/name_u] on my list, but decided on [name_f]Gloria[/name_f] for my grandmother. Definitely a possibility.
[name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] [name_f]Greta[/name_f] - I prefer it as a nickname
[name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] - I don’t like it as a full name. Also my [name_m]SIL[/name_m]'s mother is [name_f]Daisy[/name_f].
[name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] [name_f]Clara[/name_f] - Pretty, but I don’t like it for myself.
[name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] [name_f]Juliet[/name_f] - On my list! I can’t believe I didn’t think of it
[name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] [name_u]Julie[/name_u] - I have a Aunt [name_u]Julie[/name_u] and I don’t like the short form.
[name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] [name_f]Cora[/name_f] - I don’t like it for myself.
[name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] [name_f]Mabel[/name_f] - I don’t like it for myself.
[name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] [name_f]Maude[/name_f] - I don’t like the sound of it.
[name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] [name_f]Anna[/name_f] - It doesn’t have the best flow.
[name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] [name_f]Agnes[/name_f] -I don’t like the sound of it.
So far I have [name_f]Violet[/name_f], [name_u]June[/name_u] and [name_f]Juliet[/name_f].
[name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] - [name_f]Jane[/name_f] always makes me think of plain [name_f]Jane[/name_f].
[name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] [name_u]Ruby[/name_u] - I don’t like for myself.
[name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] [name_f]Sarah[/name_f] - I prefer [name_f]Serafina[/name_f]/[name_f]Seraphina[/name_f], but I wouldn’t use it myself.
[name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] [name_f]Valerie[/name_f] - I don’t like it for myself.
[name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f] - I don’t like the sound of it and I have a a negative association with someone named [name_f]Grace[/name_f]
[name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] [name_f]Luna[/name_f] - I like [name_f]Luna[/name_f] a lot, but I wouldn’t use myself.
[name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] [name_f]Isis[/name_f] - I don’t like the sound of it.
[name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] [name_f]Anneliese[/name_f] - I like [name_f]Anna[/name_f], but not [name_f]Annaliese[/name_f].
[name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] [name_f]Michaela[/name_f] - Negative association
[name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] [name_f]Cassandra[/name_f] - I don’t like it for myself
[name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] [name_f]Miranda[/name_f] - I don’t like it for myself.
[name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] [name_f]Katherine[/name_f] - I prefer it as a first names and I really love the variant [name_f]Katarina[/name_f].
[name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] [name_u]Regan[/name_u] - I don’t like surnames.
[name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f] - I have a cousin named [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f].
[name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] [name_f]Reina[/name_f] - I like it, but not enough to use.
[name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] [name_f]Emilia[/name_f] -I don’t like it for myself.
[name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] [name_f]Celeste[/name_f] - I don’t like the sound.
I like [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] [name_f]Naomi[/name_f], because it’s a very traditional/classic first name paired with an “underused classic” (nameberry’s designation).
[name_f]Naomi[/name_f] is also my sisters name. I’m big on family names so all the girl names have a family name as the middle except [name_f]Caroline[/name_f] [name_f]Hazel[/name_f].
I saw someone these forums that considered [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] Nightingale…I love it! But, from your choices I like [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] [name_f]Naomi[/name_f]
[name_u]Jordan[/name_u] is a family name, my grandfather’s middle, and I have always liked [name_f]Elisabeth[/name_f] [name_u]Jordan[/name_u]. [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] [name_f]Naomi[/name_f] also works beautifully!
I like [name_u]Jordan[/name_u], but not enough to use. It doesn’t fit with [name_f]Pearl[/name_f], [name_f]Gloria[/name_f] and [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] either.
[name_f]Rosemary[/name_f] is one of my favorite names so [name_f]Rose[/name_f] and [name_f]Mary[/name_f] are out. I prefer [name_f]Serafina[/name_f] to [name_f]Sarah[/name_f], but I wouldn’t personally use it. I don’t like [name_f]Cora[/name_f] and wouldn’t use it with [name_f]Caroline[/name_f]. I like [name_f]Violet[/name_f], but it doesn’t have the best flow. I don’t like sound of [name_u]Kerry[/name_u], [name_f]Jane[/name_f], [name_f]Anne[/name_f] or [name_f]Noelle[/name_f].
