I love [name]Ingrid[/name] [name]Marguerite[/name], but [name]Genevieve[/name] is one of my favourite names. I voted for [name]Ingrid[/name] [name]Genevieve[/name], but I love both of your first two choices.
It was a toss-up between [name]Ingrid[/name] [name]Marguerite[/name] and [name]Ingrid[/name] [name]Genevieve[/name]! I chose [name]Ingrid[/name] [name]Genevieve[/name], because I love the flow, and the way it looks.
Hmmm… they all sound good to me! I don’t care much for the name [name]Genevieve[/name] in general. I voted for [name]Ingrid[/name] [name]Marguerite[/name] although I love the name [name]Eliza[/name]. But [name]Marguerite[/name] flows so well with [name]Ingrid[/name].
[name]Ingrid[/name] [name]Eliza[/name] is both sweet and spunky, love it!
Thanks, everyone! I am relieved that we aren’t the only ones who are having trouble choosing between these combinations. Please keep the votes and comments coming! We really appreciate it!
I think the name [name]Genevieve[/name] is beautiful, and its rhythm will work with [name]Ingrid[/name] (two-syllable name ending with a closed syllable, accent on the first). [name]Both[/name] [name]Marguerite[/name] and [name]Genevieve[/name] are three-syllable names with the stress on the third syllable, so from a metrical point of view, they are identical.
However, [name]Marguerite[/name] has my vote. The softer M sound is a bit gentler coming after the hard closed -grid. “Ja” in [name]Genevieve[/name] is pronounced farther back on the palate and is more “work” to say. [name]Both[/name] names are skew delicate and feminine, but I think [name]Marguerite[/name] is more delicate and feminine than [name]Genevieve[/name], which balances the firm Germanic [name]Ingrid[/name] just perfectly.
I love [name]Ingrid[/name] [name]Eliza[/name] <3
Thanks so much, everyone! I am leaning slightly toward [name]Ingrid[/name] [name]Marguerite[/name], though I love the spunkiness of [name]Ingrid[/name] [name]Eliza[/name]. I think that my husband is still leaning toward [name]Ingrid[/name] [name]Genevieve[/name]. Please keep the comments and votes coming!
I love the way [name]Ingrid[/name] [name]Eliza[/name] sounds. As to why- maybe it’s the particular combination of stressed and unstressed syllables. It just dances!
[name]Marguerite[/name] sounds the prettiest, but I’d personally want [name]Genevieve[/name]
I love all these middle names, especially [name]Genevieve[/name]. But when I say [name]Ingrid[/name] aloud with each of them, the only one that is easy to say is [name]Ingrid[/name] [name]Eliza[/name]. Something about jumping off the “d” of [name]Ingrid[/name] into the “M” of [name]Marguerite[/name] is tricky, and the same for the “G” of [name]Genevieve[/name]. But it all other respects, I like the names equally, and since the first and middle names will probably not be said “together” all that often after the first few months, you cannot really go wrong. Good luck!
I love the name [name]Ingrid[/name], great choice!
My favorite combination is [name]Ingrid[/name] [name]Eliza[/name]…I find it very sweet and spunky. Second favorite is [name]Ingrid[/name] [name]Genevieve[/name]. While I do like the names [name]Genevieve[/name] and [name]Marguerite[/name], I don’t know if they are my favorite paired with the strong (and gorgeous) name [name]Ingrid[/name]. I feel that [name]Ingrid[/name] needs to be paired with a lighter first name to balance it out a bit. [name]Ingrid[/name] [name]Marguerite[/name] is beautiful, but it feels too heavy and clunky to me. Maybe due to the repeated heavy “G” sounds? It isn’t ugly to my ears (after all, I love both names), but I do find [name]Ingrid[/name] [name]Eliza[/name] to be much prettier and more balanced to my ears than the other combos.
But really, any of these would be great – you can’t go wrong!
