Help with middle names please! :)

General Name Discussion
1

We are compiling a little list of names for our nugget, who is due in a few months and are stuck for middle names. Hoping to find some name suggestions that are vintage-y, but fresh sounding and also have a nice meaning. We like [name_m]Albie[/name_m] (“noble”) as a middle name for a boy, but can’t use any names that start with ‘A.’ We also like [name_f]Florence[/name_f] as a middle name for a girl, but are looking for other options too :slight_smile:

List of first names (we do not want to use any of these as middle names)

  • [name_f]Esther[/name_f] - “[name_f]Star[/name_f]”
  • [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] - “Life”
  • [name_m]Vincent[/name_m] - “Conquering” (not super keen on the meaning, but still like the name)
  • [name_m]Frederick[/name_m] ([name_u]Freddie[/name_u]) - “Peaceful”
  • [name_m]Reuben[/name_m] - “Behold, a son”

Would be so grateful for any ideas!! Thank you, berries!

Thank you so much for your response of suggestions.

[name_f]Esther[/name_f] [name_f]Florence[/name_f] is our top contender for girls! But I don’t really love it with [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] for some reason…

I like [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] and [name_m]Felix[/name_m] from your list! I also love, [name_m]Oscar[/name_m], but my partner doesn’t :frowning:

Thanks again for your help! :slight_smile:

[name_f]Lovely[/name_f] choices. It’s a shame ‘A’ names are off the table, there are so many good ones! Is there anything here that stands out?

[name_f]Esther[/name_f] [name_f]Bronte[/name_f] “thunder”, [name_f]Esther[/name_f] [name_f]Renee[/name_f] “reborn”, [name_f]Esther[/name_f] [name_f]Lucinda[/name_f] “light” [name_f]Esther[/name_f] [name_f]Dorothea[/name_f] “gift of God”, [name_f]Esther[/name_f] [name_f]Rosalind[/name_f] “pretty rose”, [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] [name_f]Esme[/name_f] “esteemed, beloved; emerald” [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] [name_f]Faith[/name_f], [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] [name_f]Helena[/name_f] “bright, shining light”, [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] [name_f]Maia[/name_f] “close to God”, [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] [name_f]Freya[/name_f] “noble woman”

[name_m]Vincent[/name_m] [name_m]Gabriel[/name_m] “God is my strength”, [name_m]Vincent[/name_m] [name_m]Hugo[/name_m] “mind, intellect”, [name_m]Vincent[/name_m] [name_m]Maxwell[/name_m] “great stream”, [name_m]Frederick[/name_m] [name_m]Edmund[/name_m] “fortunate protector”, [name_m]Frederick[/name_m] [name_m]Wilbur[/name_m] “resolute, brilliant”, [name_m]Frederick[/name_m] [name_m]Ethan[/name_m] “strong, firm”, [name_m]Reuben[/name_m] [name_m]Tobias[/name_m] “God is good” [name_m]Reuben[/name_m] [name_m]Dominic[/name_m] “belonging to the lord”, [name_m]Reuben[/name_m] [name_m]Xavier[/name_m] “new house or bright”

I agree, it is such a shame that ‘a’ names are off the table!! Our last name, however, starts with a J, so [name_m]Vincent[/name_m] and [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] would have the unfortunate initials of VAJ!

I’m liking [name_m]Hugo[/name_m] and [name_m]Edmond[/name_m]! :slight_smile: And also [name_f]Freya[/name_f], [name_f]Esme[/name_f] and [name_f]Dorothea[/name_f]!

Thanks so much for your help! :smiley:
