Help me pick a middle name!

Girl Names

We want to name a daughter [name_f]Belle[/name_f] and want to use a middle name from our list of family names. But I can’t decide what sounds right.

Also open to using [name_f]Belle[/name_f] as her middle name and one of the family names as first name.

Our last name is Bolt. So the one syllable names sound rather choppy to me.

Please help!

[name_u]Morgan[/name_u]
[name_f]Maggie[/name_f]
[name_u]June[/name_u]
[name_f]Lynne[/name_f]
[name_u]Lane[/name_u]
[name_f]Lula[/name_f]
[name_u]Pepper[/name_u]
[name_m]Culley[/name_m]

I think you should cross off [name_f]Belle[/name_f] [name_u]Pepper[/name_u]…!

What about [name_f]Lula[/name_f] [name_f]Belle[/name_f] — or even Lulabelle? Something like Lulabelle [name_u]Morgan[/name_u] Bolt…

I like the sound of [name_f]Morgana[/name_f] [name_f]Belle[/name_f].

Otherwise, [name_f]Belle[/name_f] [name_f]Maggie[/name_f] or [name_f]Belle[/name_f] [name_m]Culley[/name_m] are the only choices I like from your list.

from your options I like

[name_f]Maggie[/name_f] [name_f]Belle[/name_f] Bolt
[name_f]Belle[/name_f] [name_u]Morgan[/name_u] Bolt

Ideas;

[name_u]Juniper[/name_u] [name_f]Belle[/name_f] Bolt
[name_f]Belle[/name_f] [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] Bolt
[name_f]Belle[/name_f] [name_f]Tallulah[/name_f] Bolt ( very L heavy but that might appeal to you)

You are right about that!!! I didn’t realize until I went through and reread lol. [name_f]Belle[/name_f] [name_u]Pepper[/name_u] would be horrible! :smiley:

I love the suggestion of [name_f]Morgana[/name_f] [name_f]Belle[/name_f]! I think a one syllable name with [name_f]Belle[/name_f] would be too choppy, and I wouldn’t use anything that sounds nicknamey like [name_f]Lula[/name_f] or [name_f]Maggie[/name_f]- [name_f]Lula[/name_f] [name_f]Belle[/name_f]/[name_f]Belle[/name_f] [name_f]Lula[/name_f] or [name_f]Maggie[/name_f] [name_f]Belle[/name_f]/[name_f]Belle[/name_f] [name_f]Maggie[/name_f] sounds a bit too cutesy to me.

With a one-syllable last name, [name_f]Belle[/name_f] doesn’t flow too well. What about [name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] nn [name_f]Belle[/name_f]? You could call her [name_f]Belle[/name_f] most of the time, but in more formal contexts- which is pretty much the only time our first and last names are said together anyways- she would be [name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] Bolt which sounds lovely. I really like [name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] [name_u]Morgan[/name_u] Bolt nicknamed [name_f]Belle[/name_f].

I agree with poster above [name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] [name_u]Morgan[/name_u] Bolt sounds beautiful and flows so well. If not, [name_f]Belle[/name_f] Bolt needs a three syllable name in there: [name_f]Belle[/name_f] [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] Bolt (if [name_f]Maggie[/name_f] short for [name_f]Margaret[/name_f], for eg).

I like [name_f]Belle[/name_f] [name_u]Morgan[/name_u] and I like the suggestion of [name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] [name_u]Morgan[/name_u] even more. [name_f]Lula[/name_f] [name_f]Belle[/name_f] called [name_f]Belle[/name_f] is another great option. Good luck!

here’s some suggestions from your list:
[name_u]Morgan[/name_u] [name_f]Belle[/name_f]
[name_f]Maggie[/name_f] [name_f]Belle[/name_f]
[name_f]Belle[/name_f] [name_f]Lula[/name_f]

I think you’d be better off using a variation of one of the names, like these:
[name_f]Belle[/name_f] [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] (full version of [name_f]Maggie[/name_f])
[name_f]Junie[/name_f] [name_f]Belle[/name_f]/[name_f]Belle[/name_f] [name_f]Junie[/name_f]
[name_u]Laney[/name_u] [name_f]Belle[/name_f]/[name_f]Belle[/name_f] [name_u]Laney[/name_u]
