Looking for a middle name.
[name_m]Will[/name_m] join big sisters Amaré [name_f]Elyse[/name_f] and Sélah [name_f]Carys[/name_f], so I can’t use any form of [name_u]Amor[/name_u] or [name_f]Carys[/name_f] now.
First name most likely [name_f]Hadassah[/name_f] (nn [name_f]Haddie[/name_f]) and while [name_f]Hadassah[/name_f] [name_u]Love[/name_u] is definitely the top choice, I’m interested in names I may have overlooked in my search, that might overtake the straightforward virtue word name “[name_u]Love[/name_u]” itself (which I quite like! But open to ideas or things I haven’t seen/known).
Open to other virtue names, but my top considerations so far are [name_u]Love[/name_u], [name_f]Verity[/name_f], and [name_f]Faith[/name_f].
I really appreciate the meaning of [name_f]Grace[/name_f] and while it’s lovely, doesn’t quite match the unique style of my other girls (didn’t try this at first, but now it’s happened, ha!).
Thanks for any ideas!
I love [name_f]Hadassah[/name_f]. Some love related name ideas:
[name_f]Freya[/name_f] - goddess of love
[name_f]Cordelia[/name_f] - heart
[name_f]Imogen[/name_f] - beloved heart
[name_f]Kalila[/name_f] - heart
[name_u]Paris[/name_u] - the city of love (lame or cool? Haha not sure)
[name_f]Venus[/name_f] - goddess of love

Creda - faith
[name_f]Nadine[/name_f]/[name_f]Nadia[/name_f] - hope

I’d like to second the suggestions of [name_f]Desiree[/name_f], [name_f]Esme[/name_f], [name_f]Kerensa[/name_f]/[name_f]Kerenza[/name_f], and [name_f]Nadia[/name_f]! [name_f]Hadassah[/name_f] [name_f]Desiree[/name_f] or [name_f]Hadassah[/name_f] [name_f]Esme[/name_f] would be lovely, imo.

Oh thanks! Yes, I had thought heavily of [name_u]Shiloh[/name_u] Esmé before when we were considering [name_u]Shiloh[/name_u] for a girl (we may still!). It fits my other 2 girls perfectly. I had not thought of it with [name_f]Hadassah[/name_f]. A definite contender!

Really like Esmé and [name_f]Philomena[/name_f]. 
These are quite lovely. [name_m]Will[/name_m] have to look up proper pronunciation tho!
