How would your names change if you could only use one middle?

Thanks @missniwalyra! I love your [name_f]Ambrosia[/name_f] [name_f]Isabel[/name_f] (so exotic), [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] [name_u]Hazel[/name_u], [name_f]Gaia[/name_f] [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f], [name_f]Elvira[/name_f] [name_f]Leonor[/name_f], [name_u]Archer[/name_u] [name_m]Barnaby[/name_m], [name_m]Fabiano[/name_m] [name_m]Alexei[/name_m], and [name_u]Miles[/name_u] [name_m]Colden[/name_m]. I dunno about you but my names felt naked without their second middle (with exceptions of course).
For example, [name_f]Twila[/name_f] [name_f]Luciana[/name_f] [name_u]Aberdeen[/name_u] changing to [name_f]Twila[/name_f] [name_u]Aberdeen[/name_u] was fine. But Malèna [name_f]Ione[/name_f] [name_u]Adair[/name_u], for instance, just was not going to work for me. I thought it was a bit of a trip to see a naked name lol and I wanted to get other people thinking

Most of the time I’d just use the first middle name because it carries more meaning, only [name_f]Ofelia[/name_f] gets [name_f]Mary[/name_f] instead of [name_f]Rosalind[/name_f], because it’s the family name and because I think two Shakespearean names without any other names to balance them out may be a bit much.
Also, this would leave [name_f]Rosalind[/name_f] to use with [name_f]Emma[/name_f] again, which is a combo I love.

[name_m]Hugo[/name_m] [name_m]Nicanor[/name_m], [name_f]Flora[/name_f] [name_f]Olalla[/name_f], [name_f]Ofelia[/name_f] [name_f]Mary[/name_f], [name_m]Edgar[/name_m] [name_u]Lionel[/name_u], [name_m]Victor[/name_m] [name_m]Odilon[/name_m], [name_f]Emma[/name_f] [name_f]Rosalind[/name_f]
[name_f]Mabel[/name_f] [name_f]Augusta[/name_f], [name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Lavinia[/name_f], [name_f]Alice[/name_f] [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f], [name_u]Arthur[/name_u] [name_u]Vyvyan[/name_u]

Hugo Nicanor and Arthur Vyvyan are so unique, it’s always a treat to see names like this

I could probably do one middle for most of my combos, just because usually one flows better with the first than the other. Anyway, I think I’d go (there will be a few repeats):

I don’t use two middle names, so they wouldn’t change at all. :joy:

Well… Where I live double middles are not allowed. So my combos would not change :wink:

Back in my earlier NameBerry days, I was a 2 middler with a different style, though my style is never consistent. Most are the imaginary kids from the teenberry thread, back when that was a thing. I went through old lists and so much nostalgia!

Celina Estacia Marigold > Celina Marigold
Dorian Andrei Fable > Dorian Fable
Gwendolyn Elodie Celeste > Gwyneth Celestiel
Gavriel Amias Danver > Gavriel Amias
Perseus Leander Fern > Perseus Leander
Cassian Finnick Emery > Cassian Emrys
Angeline Rosemary Blythe > Angelina Rosette
Dahlia Verity Meadow > Dahlia Meadow
Delphine Aviva Lark > Delphina Lark
Lysander Adrian Moore > Lysander Moore
Cody Theodore James > Cody Theodine
Lysandra Elowen Blair > Lysandra Elodie

And my double barrel combos if they were different middles:

Tori-Kate Josephine > Victoria Kathleen
Sasha-Luna Adair > Sasha Lunaria

Oh dang. Since pretty much all my combos have honors in the middle, I would keep the honor names, although it would make me so sad to not use the other names. I’m just gonna do some of my top names cause I got way too many combos~

[name_m]Osiris[/name_m] [name_m]Samuel[/name_m]
Zephiro [name_f]Glory[/name_f]
[name_u]Loki[/name_u] [name_u]Hyacinth[/name_u]
[name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] [name_f]Wildflower[/name_f] (this feels weird without [name_m]Hades[/name_m] there)
[name_u]Raven[/name_u] [name_u]Angel[/name_u] (ahn-hel)

Fortunately I don’t actually have to worry about this, because having two middles is very common here. But if I for some reason could only use one middle name, my user card combos would be:

[name_m]Filip[/name_m] [name_u]Julian[/name_u] :small_blue_diamond: [name_m]Nicolas[/name_m] [name_m]Carl[/name_m] :small_blue_diamond: [name_m]Frederick[/name_m] [name_u]Auberon[/name_u] :small_blue_diamond: [name_m]Leopold[/name_m] [name_m]Otto[/name_m] :small_blue_diamond: [name_m]Theodor[/name_m] [name_m]Valentin[/name_m] :small_blue_diamond: [name_m]Frans[/name_m] [name_u]Oliver[/name_u] :small_blue_diamond: [name_u]Luca[/name_u] [name_m]Augustus[/name_m]

[name_f]Victoria[/name_f] [name_f]Anna[/name_f] :small_orange_diamond: [name_f]Amalia[/name_f] [name_f]Estrid[/name_f] :small_orange_diamond: [name_f]Viviana[/name_f] [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f] :small_orange_diamond: [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] [name_f]Theresa[/name_f] :small_orange_diamond: [name_f]Odilia[/name_f] [name_f]Margaret[/name_f]

Where’s that may I ask?

If I listed every name I liked I’d pretty much just be re-writing your list so I’ll stick with names that are newbies for me.

Estacia | I will be reading about this lovely in a bit
Lunaria | a hidden gem
[name_m]Gavriel[/name_m] [name_m]Amias[/name_m] | umm you combined these perfectly!

Only foreign parents or parents with double nacionality can choose more that one middle name. We can choose up to 4 surnames, though.

Thank you! If you go to “Love/Like/Lose Names not in the system” thread or “name of the day” you can find great new names!

Where I live I can’t legally use more than one middle name expect if my partner if from another nationality so I don’t even bother to think about those beautiful combos with two middles cause I know I would love them and it would be hard to “get rid of them”
