Hello! My hubby and I have agreed on the first name of [name_u]June[/name_u] for our baby girl but we are stuck when it comes to agreeing on a middle name. We originally liked [name_f]Marie[/name_f] but are now second-guessing it (it’s a family name that has been used often and it is used often as a middle in general). I like [name_u]Eloise[/name_u] but my husband is not a fan. He likes [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] and [name_f]Victoria[/name_f] but they are close family members’ names. We tend to like vintage and classic names but don’t mind underused options. Oh, and we’re looking for at least two syllables (as both [name_u]June[/name_u] and our last name are one syllable). Other names we considered as a first name (to give you an idea of our taste): [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f], [name_f]Phaedra[/name_f], [name_u]Marion[/name_u], [name_f]Fiona[/name_f], [name_f]Rebecca[/name_f].
Can anyone help with generating some ideas for us?
I like [name_u]June[/name_u] [name_f]Alexandra[/name_f] & [name_u]June[/name_u] [name_f]Victoria[/name_f]
[name_m]How[/name_m] about [name_u]June[/name_u]…
[name_f]Kathleen[/name_f]
Aulora - just found this one thought it was a cute spin on [name_f]Aurora[/name_f]
[name_f]Evangeline[/name_f]
[name_f]Veronica[/name_f]
[name_f]Penelope[/name_f]
[name_f]Eileen[/name_f]
Because [name_u]June[/name_u] and your surname are both so short, I favor the idea of a longer middle for you. I’m sure you already thought of this, but with first name [name_u]June[/name_u], you may want to avoid place and word names (such as: [name_u]June[/name_u] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] or [name_u]June[/name_u] [name_u]Brooke[/name_u]).
What about:
[name_u]June[/name_u] [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f]
[name_u]June[/name_u] [name_f]Adeline[/name_f]
[name_u]June[/name_u] [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f]
[name_u]June[/name_u] [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f]
[name_u]June[/name_u] [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f]
[name_u]June[/name_u] [name_f]Madeline[/name_f]
[name_u]June[/name_u] [name_f]Magdalene[/name_f]
[name_u]June[/name_u] [name_f]Noemi[/name_f]
[name_u]June[/name_u] [name_f]Penelope[/name_f]
[name_u]June[/name_u] [name_f]Philomena[/name_f]
[name_u]June[/name_u] [name_f]Susannah[/name_f]
[name_u]June[/name_u] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] is the first name combo that popped into my mind. I love it. [name_u]June[/name_u] [name_f]Marie[/name_f] is very pretty. I also like [name_u]June[/name_u] [name_u]Eloise[/name_u]. I’m not helping much by adding to your list but there is something about [name_u]June[/name_u] [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f] that I find divine.
Thanks everybody! [name_u]June[/name_u] [name_f]Marie[/name_f] is still in the running and we really like the suggestion [name_u]June[/name_u] [name_f]Alexandra[/name_f]! We wouldn’t mind some more modern suggestions too!
My first thought was [name_u]June[/name_u] [name_f]Louise[/name_f]. Second was [name_u]June[/name_u] [name_f]Cecilia[/name_f]. [name_m]How[/name_m] about:
Oooh, all of these are pretty but I really like [name_f]Mariella[/name_f]! [name_f]Marie[/name_f] was meant to honor DH’s grandma so this would allow us to still do so.
Based on names you like:
[name_u]June[/name_u] [name_f]Elinor[/name_f]. [name_u]June[/name_u] [name_f]Elspeth[/name_f]. [name_u]June[/name_u] [name_f]Louella[/name_f]. [name_u]June[/name_u] [name_f]Marina[/name_f]. [name_u]June[/name_u] [name_f]Marianne[/name_f].
[name_f]Elouise[/name_f] is a personal favorite and I also love the name [name_u]June[/name_u], but I have to admit, it’s not a perfect flow - not bad at all, but not perfect either.
Have you considered [name_u]June[/name_u] [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f], [name_u]June[/name_u] [name_u]Marion[/name_u], [name_u]June[/name_u] [name_f]Fiona[/name_f], [name_u]June[/name_u] [name_f]Rebecca[/name_f], etc.?
Also, I feel like with a single-syllable first and last, this name could be a good candidate for two middle names if you’re interested in that!
[name_u]June[/name_u] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] is beautiful. I also like [name_u]June[/name_u] [name_f]Victoria[/name_f]. I included some possible substitutes for those names in my full list below.
I love the suggestions of [name_u]June[/name_u] [name_f]Marielle[/name_f]
[name_u]June[/name_u] [name_f]Marianne[/name_f] or [name_u]June[/name_u] [name_f]Marietta[/name_f] would also be pretty.
[name_m]How[/name_m] about [name_u]June[/name_u] [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u]? I had a friend who was considering this for her baby and I thought it was a darling combo! It’s similar to [name_u]June[/name_u] [name_u]Eloise[/name_u] and [name_u]June[/name_u] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f]. [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u] is vintagey, but favored by modern day parents. I love [name_u]June[/name_u], and I love [name_u]June[/name_u] [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u] even more!
