Trying to finally pick a girl’s name and be done with it, but gosh darn it - this one has my head spinning! Planning to name our little girl [name]Eugenia[/name] after a very dear family member, but having a tough time settling on a middle name. I am torn between . . .
[name]Eugenia[/name] [name]Grace[/name] (my grandmother’s name + my husband’s grandmother’s name)
and
[name]Eugenia[/name] [name]Violet[/name] (initials E + V)
She will be nicknamed [name]Evie[/name] - I’m a big nickname girl - and this I am set on. What I’m questioning is which middle name I should use in light of this fact.
[name]Eugenia[/name] [name]Grace[/name] flows better in my opinion and has more meaning, but [name]Eugenia[/name] [name]Violet[/name] ties in the E + V initials, and therefore ties in “[name]Evie[/name].”
So, knowing all this, which name do you think I should go with…?
I love [name]Jeanie[/name] as a nickname for [name]Eugenia[/name]. Perhaps [name]Gigi[/name]. Or [name]NIA[/name]! Sweet [name]Nia[/name] ^^
If you’re going to use [name]Evie[/name], you should go with [name]Eugenia[/name] [name]Violet[/name]. I would personally forsake the nickname for the family connection [name]Grace[/name] has.
Based on personal preference, I would totally vote for [name]Violet[/name] over [name]Grace[/name], but having two grandmother’s with the name makes [name]Grace[/name] a very compelling and meaningful option. However, if you are certain that you want to give her the nn [name]Evie[/name], then I recommend [name]Violet[/name].
[name]Jeannie[/name] I would find too similar to [name]James[/name] personally, but [name]Nia[/name] is stylistically very different.
I would go with [name]Nia[/name], but siblings [name]Jeannie[/name] and [name]James[/name] could be very cute ^^
J is not my favourite letter, I love [name]Jeanie[/name] because it’s a name in an old ballad I really love called ‘Annachie [name]Gordon[/name]’.
Would you consider doing double middle names? [name]Eugenia[/name] [name]Violet[/name] [name]Grace[/name] sounds lovely and you could use still use “[name]Evie[/name]”! Or do something like [name]Eugenia[/name] [name]Verity[/name] - a virtue name like [name]Grace[/name], but with the initials E.V. to get [name]Evie[/name]. Good luck!
