Hello, we have some rather conservative old-fashioned names on our short list. I love them all, but I feel like they need middle names that add a little pep and improve the overall flow of the name, and I am having trouble coming up with options that don’t sound like I am trying too hard. As you can probably tell, I like names that are vintage-y, maybe a bit quirky, but still familiar. And I don’t really care about popularity in the middle spot, I just want something that makes a good combination. Last name is Peters. DD is [name_f]Sylvia[/name_f] [name_f]Lucille[/name_f]. The names are:
[name_f]Jane[/name_f]
[name_f]Eleanor[/name_f]
[name_f]Margaret[/name_f]
Other names under consideration are [name_f]Daphne[/name_f] and [name_f]Johanna[/name_f], but I am having an easier time with middle name ideas for these.
Any ideas would be appreciated!
Thanks for the suggestions. So far my favorites are [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] [name_f]Adele[/name_f] and [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] [name_f]Lillian[/name_f].
I suppose I should mention that I don’t want to use any variations of [name_f]Claire[/name_f], [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f], or [name_f]Catherine[/name_f].
Keep them coming!
[name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] [name_f]Louise[/name_f] (may be too similar to [name_f]Sylvia[/name_f]'s middle name, but it could be a cute way to link them)
[name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] [name_u]June[/name_u]
[name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] [name_f]Ann[/name_f]
[name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] [name_f]Edith[/name_f] (I think the alliteration works)
[name_f]Jane[/name_f] [name_f]Magnolia[/name_f]
[name_f]Jane[/name_f] [name_f]Aurora[/name_f]
[name_f]Jane[/name_f] [name_f]Virginia[/name_f]
[name_f]Margaret[/name_f] [name_f]Alice[/name_f]
[name_f]Margaret[/name_f] [name_f]Ruth[/name_f]
I think [name_f]Sylvia[/name_f] and [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] would be a darling sibset.
Well, my name is [name_f]Margaret[/name_f], so you really can’t go wrong with that.
I love previous suggestions of [name_f]Jane[/name_f] [name_f]Magnolia[/name_f], [name_f]Jane[/name_f] [name_f]Penelope[/name_f], and [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] [name_u]Skye[/name_u]. I’ll add:
[name_f]Jane[/name_f] [name_f]Augusta[/name_f]
[name_f]Jane[/name_f] [name_f]Marguerite[/name_f]
[name_f]Jane[/name_f] [name_f]Mirabelle[/name_f]
