My husband and I are expecting twins. We have two boy names picked out which honor my husband’s dad (by using his middle name, [name_u]Murphy[/name_u]) and my grandmother (by using her last name, [name_m]Stone[/name_m]). We will use [name_u]June[/name_u] [name_u]Murphy[/name_u] if we have two girls. [name_f]My[/name_f] grandmother’s middle name was [name_f]Lena[/name_f] and I really want to find a way to use it as a middle name for our second girl name. However, we’re struggling to find a first name to pair with it.
We tend to like classic, underused names. We have been leaning towards [name_f]Naomi[/name_f] [name_f]Lena[/name_f], except that [name_f]Naomi[/name_f] is being used a lot right now. Does anybody have other ideas for names that are a little less popular but still classic? Our first child is named [name_f]Lydia[/name_f] [name_f]Claire[/name_f], which is why [name_f]Lena[/name_f] needs to be a middle name—[name_f]Lydia[/name_f] and [name_f]Lena[/name_f] are too similar for my taste. Our last name is [name_m]Stevenson[/name_m].
June [name_u]Murphy[/name_u] is a very spunky happy sounding name with a cute vintage flair she works beautifully with [name_f]Lydia[/name_f] [name_f]Claire[/name_f]. I think [name_f]Naomi[/name_f] is a brilliant option really elegant and peaceful sounding. I think [name_f]Naomi[/name_f] would be a great sister for [name_u]June[/name_u] & [name_f]Lydia[/name_f]. [name_f]Naomi[/name_f] [name_f]Lena[/name_f] sounds gorgeous.
