We are expecting our first (and it’s a girl!!!) in [name_u]January[/name_u]. I have been set on the first name [name_f]Amelia[/name_f] (nn. [name_f]Mila[/name_f]) since before she was born. I know it is very popular, but I grew up with a very popular name and didn’t mind, and if she goes by [name_f]Mila[/name_f] than it will be less popular.
We are struggling with coming up with a middle name though. I like one or three syllable names as our last name is two syllables and find that one or three just flows better.
Some family names that we are currently considering include:
If there are any suggestions for a middle name for our little bundle they would be greatly appreciated, or a vote on which of the family names you like best!
I think [name_f]Grace[/name_f] or [name_f]Mae[/name_f] flow well. [name_f]Lucille[/name_f] does too though not a favorite of mine. If you aren’t set on a family name, you might consider something a bit more unusual. I had a popular name and liked that my middle name was less popular.
I love the idea of [name_f]Amelia[/name_f] [name_f]Lucille[/name_f], which lets you use [name_f]Milou[/name_f] in addition to [name_f]Mila[/name_f], or maybe even [name_f]Maisie[/name_f]?
[name_f]Amelia[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f] is also nice, but with such a popular name I would definitely use a more uncommon middle, [name_f]Grace[/name_f] is one of the most common middles along with [name_f]Rose[/name_f].
[name_f]Barbara[/name_f] does little for me, and not much for [name_f]Amelia[/name_f] either. [name_f]Mae[/name_f] is a little like [name_f]Grace[/name_f], seems to make the name more commonplace or even dull.
Trying to put a spin on [name_f]Barbara[/name_f], I really like [name_f]Amelia[/name_f] [name_f]Briar[/name_f] or [name_f]Amelia[/name_f] [name_f]Bryony[/name_f]. ^^
I love [name_f]Amelia[/name_f] [name_f]Mae[/name_f]. Both that and [name_f]Mila[/name_f] [name_f]Mae[/name_f] sound so cute to me. I love the alliteration in there.
I’ll be the odd man out and say that [name_f]Amelia[/name_f] [name_f]Barbara[/name_f] could have an acquired taste factor to it. While [name_f]Barbara[/name_f] is a bit dated, and is a more challenging name to combine as a second, [name_f]Amelia[/name_f] [name_f]Barbara[/name_f] actually flows pretty well.
If you have a [name_f]Barbara[/name_f] who you really want to honor by using her name, [name_f]Amelia[/name_f] could be the right first name to pair her with.
The more I write it and say it in my head, the more I like it. [name_f]Amelia[/name_f] [name_f]Barbara[/name_f].
(The other family names do come off as more ‘filler’ sounding. [name_f]Barbara[/name_f] has a real presence!)
[name_f]Amelia[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f] flows well if you have no problems with popularity. Its a darling name . [name_f]Mae[/name_f] would be my next choice. I also love the alliteration of [name_f]Mila[/name_f] [name_f]Mae[/name_f]
I love [name_f]Amelia[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f] but it’s a popular combo. [name_f]Amelia[/name_f] [name_f]Mae[/name_f] is also beautiful. Although [name_f]Amelia[/name_f] [name_f]Mae[/name_f] is repeated M I think I sounds balanced whereas [name_f]Amelia[/name_f] [name_f]Lucille[/name_f] is just too many Ls.

[name_f]Amelia[/name_f] [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f]
[name_f]Amelia[/name_f] [name_f]Mae[/name_f] is cute, although it seems a little… plain? to me, same with [name_f]Amelia[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f]. I like [name_f]Amelia[/name_f] [name_f]Lucille[/name_f] too, how about [name_f]Amelia[/name_f] [name_f]Lucy[/name_f]?
