Are you open to the idea of two middle names?
Our younger son has two, and our older only has one.
I like the combination of [name_f]Lauren[/name_f] [name_f]Jade[/name_f], though I really like [name_f]Laurel[/name_f] [name_f]Jade[/name_f] and it is fairly similar.
With the idea of two middles I like:
[name_f]Catherine[/name_f] [name_f]Natasha[/name_f] [name_f]Marie[/name_f].
Good luck, and congratulations!
My favorite is [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] [name_f]Anne[/name_f].
[name_f]Catherine[/name_f] [name_f]Marie[/name_f] is classic, pretty…I feel like the combo is a bit safe though and doesn’t stand out. Maybe [name_f]Catherine[/name_f] [name_f]Maeve[/name_f]/[name_f]Maeva[/name_f]?
Same with [name_f]Jemma[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f]…[name_f]Jemma[/name_f] is pretty but [name_f]Rose[/name_f] feels filler/expected. [name_f]Jemma[/name_f] [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f] or [name_f]Rosalind[/name_f] would be pretty.
[name_f]Lauren[/name_f] I love, but I’m not a big [name_f]Jade[/name_f] fan, nor do care for the combo much. It’s definitely not frilly, but might be a bit too abrupt for me. I would like [name_f]Lauren[/name_f] [name_f]Eliza[/name_f] or [name_f]Lauren[/name_f] [name_f]Cecily[/name_f] or something similarly not frilly but with a little more flow.
[name_f]Natasha[/name_f] [name_f]Lauren[/name_f] would be pretty.
Aside from [name_f]Jade[/name_f] these are very common one-syllable middles. [name_f]Do[/name_f] you really want to stick with a short middle name or are you open to something longer? Here is some elaboration on your list. Let me know if anything hits the mark. As a general guide you can create good flow by balancing with overall syllables including your last name so if the first name has three syllables like Carherine, and the last name two, then a one- syllable middle will sound good. But in the cast of two-syllable [name_f]Lauren[/name_f] you will do better with a longer middle or the name can sound too brief.
[name_f]Lauren[/name_f] [name_f]Violet[/name_f]
[name_f]Lauren[/name_f] [name_f]Clementine[/name_f]
[name_f]Lauren[/name_f] [name_f]Coralie[/name_f]
[name_f]Natasha[/name_f] [name_f]Rosalind[/name_f]
[name_f]Natasha[/name_f] [name_f]Caroline[/name_f]
[name_f]Natasha[/name_f] [name_f]Lucia[/name_f]
[name_f]Catherine[/name_f] [name_f]Louisa[/name_f]
[name_f]Catherine[/name_f] [name_f]Lydia[/name_f]
[name_f]Catherine[/name_f] [name_f]Adela[/name_f]
[name_f]Gemma[/name_f] [name_f]Zadie[/name_f]
[name_f]Gemma[/name_f] [name_f]Marguerite[/name_f]
[name_f]Gemma[/name_f] [name_f]Cecile[/name_f]
[name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] [name_f]Clara[/name_f]
[name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] [name_u]Marian[/name_u]
[name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] [name_f]Alice[/name_f]
Although [name_f]Lauren[/name_f] [name_f]Jade[/name_f] is a great combo, I feel not only is [name_f]Lauren[/name_f] a bit dated, if seems overused and “tuckered out” as well. If you like [name_f]Lauren[/name_f] [name_f]Jade[/name_f], you may like:
[name_f]Laura[/name_f] [name_f]Jade[/name_f] (I think [name_f]Laura[/name_f] is more classic than [name_f]Lauren[/name_f], I could be wrong though)
[name_u]Laurence[/name_u] [name_f]Jade[/name_f] -nickname [name_u]Wren[/name_u], or [name_f]Lauren[/name_f], [name_u]Laurie[/name_u], etc
[name_f]Laurette[/name_f] [name_f]Jade[/name_f]
[name_f]Lorelei[/name_f] [name_f]Jade[/name_f]
[name_f]Gemma[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] is very pretty, I just prefer the G spelling, yet [name_f]Rose[/name_f] doesn’t do [name_f]Gemma[/name_f]'s prettiness any justice. I feel if I used [name_f]Gemma[/name_f] for a first name, the middle should be complimentary to the first name, yet not override it. [name_f]Rose[/name_f] is a very common middle.
Maybe you will like:
[name_f]Jemma[/name_f] [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f] or [name_f]Jemma[/name_f] [name_f]Rosalind[/name_f] (jemma rose could be her nn)
[name_f]Jemma[/name_f] [name_f]Rosalyn[/name_f]
[name_f]Catherine[/name_f] is sort of in the same category as [name_f]Lauren[/name_f] as far as being so popular, possibly dated, but it does seem like more of a classic than [name_f]Lauren[/name_f]. I feel like [name_f]Catherine[/name_f] with a K looks better and fresher, sort of a facelift for [name_f]Catherine[/name_f].
[name_f]Katherine[/name_f] [name_f]Marie[/name_f] is ok. [name_f]Marie[/name_f] is the same as [name_f]Rose[/name_f] as far as being a very popular, and somewhat boring(no offense) middle name for girls.
If you like [name_f]Catherine[/name_f] [name_f]Marie[/name_f], maybe you will like:
[name_f]Katherine[/name_f] [name_u]Meredith[/name_u] or [name_f]Catherine[/name_f] [name_f]Marielle[/name_f]
[name_f]Catherine[/name_f] [name_f]Mariah[/name_f] or [name_f]Catherine[/name_f] [name_f]Melody[/name_f]
[name_f]Catherine[/name_f] [name_f]Meadow[/name_f] or [name_f]Catherine[/name_f] [name_f]Melanie[/name_f]
[name_f]Catherine[/name_f] [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] or [name_f]Catherine[/name_f] [name_f]Natasha[/name_f]
[name_f]Gemma[/name_f] [name_f]Catherine[/name_f]
[name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] [name_f]Catherine[/name_f] or [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] [name_f]Natasha[/name_f]
[name_f]Lauren[/name_f] [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f]
[name_f]Natasha[/name_f] [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f]
Hmm…
[name_f]Lauren[/name_f] [name_f]Jade[/name_f] - For me this combination feels very 90s. I like [name_f]Lauren[/name_f] it’s a simple choice and I also like [name_f]Jade[/name_f] she’s a good gem stone name. But together this combination feels so 90s and bland. I would prefer [name_f]Laura[/name_f] [name_f]Jade[/name_f] or [name_f]Lauren[/name_f] [name_f]Jana[/name_f].
[name_f]Catherine[/name_f] [name_f]Marie[/name_f] - [name_f]Catherine[/name_f] is a very pretty regal choice. She sounds elegant and looks demure. I love the nicknames attached to this name [name_f]Cat[/name_f], [name_f]Cate[/name_f], [name_f]Catey[/name_f], [name_f]Kitty[/name_f], and [name_f]Cathy[/name_f]. [name_f]Marie[/name_f] feels very light with [name_f]Catherine[/name_f]. The whole combination is pretty.
[name_f]Jemma[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] - [name_f]Jemma[/name_f] is a nice name she has a vibrant sound and feels elegant. I prefer [name_f]Gemma[/name_f] spelling wise it’s just looks better. Visually more rounded. [name_f]Rose[/name_f] sounds elegant with [name_f]Gemma[/name_f]. The whole combination is sweet.
[name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] [name_f]Ann[/name_f] - [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] is elegant, pretty, demure, and soft-sound. I also the nicknames attached to [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] for example [name_f]Gen[/name_f], [name_f]Ginny[/name_f], [name_f]Evie[/name_f], [name_f]Eve[/name_f], and [name_f]Eva[/name_f]. I think [name_f]Ann[/name_f] cuts [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] soft melodic sound short. I’d prefer a softer sounding choice like [name_f]Lily[/name_f] or [name_f]Pearl[/name_f].
[name_f]Natasha[/name_f] - A sweet elegant name, she has this beautiful Russian inspired sound and looks lovely. [name_f]Natasha[/name_f] has grown on me so much of recent. Middle name suggestion [name_f]Natasha[/name_f] [name_f]Elise[/name_f]?
Suggestions:
[name_f]Gabrielle[/name_f]
[name_f]Violet[/name_f]
[name_f]Eloise[/name_f]
[name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f]

Thank you soo much for your advice:D
I am open to two middle names, does your son like having two? I like [name_f]Laurel[/name_f] [name_f]Jade[/name_f] as an alternative.
I Really like [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f]!
First off maddyair, I am so glad you like [name_f]Lorelei[/name_f] [name_f]Jade[/name_f]!
[name_f]Kathryn[/name_f] [name_u]Juniper[/name_u] is AWESOME-sorry don’t mean to shout but it is so pretty.
[name_f]Gemma[/name_f] [name_u]Rae[/name_u] is adorable and pretty, but not too frilly-yet still gorgeous. Raw beauty just like [name_f]Kathryn[/name_f] [name_u]Juniper[/name_u].
I am not sure I am fond of [name_f]Snow[/name_f] after [name_f]Catherine[/name_f]. [name_f]Cat[/name_f] is an adorable nn choice-I agree.
[name_f]Luna[/name_f] is ok, I don’t hate it but when it is paired with [name_f]Penelope[/name_f], I really just don’t care for it-no offense please.
[name_f]Catherine[/name_f] [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] sounds far superior.
[name_f]Laura[/name_f] [name_f]Marie[/name_f] just seems like it gets the job done and that is about it. Sort of plain. I would even prefer [name_f]Laura[/name_f] [name_f]Mae[/name_f].
[name_f]Katherine[/name_f] [name_u]Juniper[/name_u], [name_f]Gemma[/name_f] [name_u]Rae[/name_u], [name_f]Lorelei[/name_f] [name_f]Jade[/name_f]- I love all three equally. This doesn’t happen often either!
As for [name_f]Catherine[/name_f] [name_f]Snow[/name_f], [name_f]Luna[/name_f] [name_f]Penelope[/name_f], and [name_f]Laura[/name_f] [name_f]Marie[/name_f]~
Well, if you like [name_f]Laura[/name_f] [name_f]Marie[/name_f], you may like [name_f]Lorelei[/name_f] [name_f]Marie[/name_f] better? I think it flows better than just [name_f]Laura[/name_f].
[name_f]Catherine[/name_f] [name_f]Snow[/name_f]- if you like this, you may also be interested in:
[name_f]Lori[/name_f] [name_u]June[/name_u]
[name_f]Natasha[/name_f] [name_f]Soleil[/name_f]
[name_f]Luciana[/name_f] or [name_f]Lucienne[/name_f] are so pretty and [name_f]Luna[/name_f] could be a nn-
[name_f]Luciana[/name_f] [name_f]Jade[/name_f]
[name_f]Luciana[/name_f] [name_f]Marie[/name_f]
[name_f]Luciana[/name_f] [name_u]Rae[/name_u] is really refreshing!
[name_f]Catherine[/name_f] [name_f]Fay[/name_f]
[name_f]Lucienne[/name_f] [name_f]Marie[/name_f]
[name_f]Catherine[/name_f] [name_f]Willow[/name_f] or [name_f]Catherine[/name_f] [name_f]Meadow[/name_f]
[name_f]Luciana[/name_f] [name_f]Paige[/name_f]
[name_f]Fern[/name_f] is another middle name option to think about if you like nature-ish middles. [name_f]Hope[/name_f] this helps.
I think you’re absolutely right about [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f]. [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] [name_f]Lily[/name_f] is my fav of your suggested alternatives.
