[name_u]Baby[/name_u] has Mexican heritage, and honoring that is really important to us. We want her to be fully able to embrace her heritage and culture, and as part of that we decided a while ago to give her at least one Spanish middle name.
Here are our favourites as of yet… (We’ve gotten a BUNCH of suggestions from our Mexican friends, so special shout-out to them )
[name_u]Alma[/name_u]
[name_f]Valentina[/name_f]
[name_f]Paloma[/name_f] (this one’s special, it’s baby’s birth-mother’s name)
[name_f]Antonia[/name_f]
[name_f]Elena[/name_f]
[name_f]Mariana[/name_f]
Lucia/Luciana
[name_f]Catalina[/name_f] (this one was suggested here for honoring her grandmothers, [name_f]Katherine[/name_f] and Maureen)
[name_f]Soledad[/name_f]
[name_f]Araceli[/name_f]
[name_f]Liliana[/name_f]
[name_f]Florencia[/name_f] (we had [name_u]Florence[/name_u] on our list)
[name_f]Luisa[/name_f] (same with Louisa!)
Which is your favourite on the list, which go best as middles for our top three names, and what other names would you recommend?
I especially love [name_f]Catalina[/name_f] and [name_f]Paloma[/name_f] for you guys. [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] is absolutely my favorite first name for baby! Oh, it’s glorious. [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] [name_f]Paloma[/name_f] has incredible flow and a beautiful spirit about her. Flowers and birds… oh, just utterly sunny and delightful.
[name_f]My[/name_f] personal favourite is [name_u]Alma[/name_u], but for you my favourites are [name_f]Paloma[/name_f], [name_f]Catalina[/name_f] and [name_f]Florencia[/name_f]. They are all so beautiful!! [name_f]My[/name_f] favourite first name option is [name_f]Daisy[/name_f], and I think all of these go so nicely with it.
I adore [name_f]Paloma[/name_f]. It’s one of my favorite names and, among a list of others I really like, I think is my favorite from the list. Of your top 3, I think it works best with [name_f]Daisy[/name_f].
With [name_f]Eliza[/name_f], I like [name_f]Soledad[/name_f] or [name_f]Araceli[/name_f] best. [name_f]Kate[/name_f] I like more as a mn than a fn with most of these, but with it as a fn I think I like [name_f]Kate[/name_f] [name_f]Florencia[/name_f] or [name_f]Kate[/name_f] [name_f]Luciana[/name_f].
[name_f]Eliza[/name_f] [name_f]Antonia[/name_f] or [name_f]Eliza[/name_f] [name_f]Florencia[/name_f] or [name_f]Eliza[/name_f] [name_f]Paloma[/name_f]
[name_f]Daisy[/name_f] [name_f]Paloma[/name_f] or [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] [name_f]Valentina[/name_f]
[name_f]Kate[/name_f] [name_f]Paloma[/name_f] or [name_f]Kata[/name_f] [name_f]Luciana[/name_f] or [name_f]Kate[/name_f] [name_f]Araceli[/name_f]!
[name_f]Eliza[/name_f] [name_u]Carmen[/name_u], [name_f]Kate[/name_f] [name_f]Rafaella[/name_f] and [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] [name_f]Lorenza[/name_f] came to mind

@ac9nec5 tysm! I love [name_f]Kate[/name_f] [name_f]Mariana[/name_f]!
I think that Ximena could also be sparky and cool.

Fiona
Rosa
Elsa (Love this too!)
Nora (This is superb, and I recall you liked Eleanor!)
Luna
Minerva (Since you like mythological names)
Nina
Estela
Magda
Lara
Amalia (This one is underappreciated and super cool!)
Matilde (I like this too!)
Leila
Noemi (This would be cool, it means “bliss” or happiness. Goes well with Eliza being both biblical.)
Viviana
Maya
Frida (I love this name. Frida Kahlo is Mexican by the way, and a very strong woman, so…)
Alida // Lida
Lina
Sara
Camelia
Noa
Gabriela
Sarai
