[name_f]Ida[/name_f] [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f]

I love [name_f]Irene[/name_f], especially with the [name_u]French[/name_u] pronunciation!
For middles…
[name_f]Ida[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f]
[name_f]Irene[/name_f] [name_f]Marguerite[/name_f]

I like the sound of [name_f]Ida[/name_f] [name_f]Leonora[/name_f] or [name_f]Irene[/name_f] [name_f]Leonora[/name_f], and I also really love the middle names [name_f]Ariadne[/name_f], [name_f]Winifred[/name_f], and [name_u]Antonia[/name_u].

I love so many of these names !

[name_f]Ida[/name_f] [name_f]Mary[/name_f]
[name_f]Ida[/name_f] [name_f]Winnifred[/name_f]
[name_f]Ida[/name_f] [name_f]Frances[/name_f]
[name_f]Ida[/name_f] [name_f]Caroline[/name_f]
[name_f]Ida[/name_f] [name_f]Ariadne[/name_f]

[name_f]Irene[/name_f] [name_f]Mary[/name_f]
[name_f]Irene[/name_f] [name_f]Marguerite[/name_f]
[name_f]Irene[/name_f] [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f]

i prefer irene since ida sounds to much like ‘i da’ to me :confused:

i love irene ariadne, irene guinevere, irene lavinia, and irene leonora. i would recommend to pair irene with something a bit unexpected since it could be seen as a bit of a ‘grandma name.’

i prefer ida !

if i could choose only one middle, i would go for ida ariadne - not the best flow, but i love ariadne.

otherwise:

ida cecilia margot
ida virginia ariadne
ida guinevere marguerite
ida lavinia frances

[name_f]Ida[/name_f] [name_f]Frances[/name_f]!

[name_f]Ida[/name_f] (as ee-duh)! I’d probably go [name_f]Ida[/name_f] [name_f]Frances[/name_f], but I love [name_f]Ida[/name_f] [name_f]Margot[/name_f] (nearly tied with [name_f]Frances[/name_f] tbh), [name_f]Ida[/name_f] [name_f]Winifred[/name_f] (also close), [name_f]Ida[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f], and [name_f]Ida[/name_f] [name_f]Guinevere[/name_f].

[name_f]Ida[/name_f] [name_f]Margot[/name_f] :slight_smile:

[name_f]Ida[/name_f] [name_f]Marguerite[/name_f]
[name_f]Ida[/name_f] [name_f]Frances[/name_f]
[name_f]Ida[/name_f] [name_f]Leonora[/name_f]

I’d use [name_f]Ida[/name_f] [name_f]Guinevere[/name_f] :white_heart:

[name_f]Ida[/name_f] [name_f]Marguerite[/name_f] is lovely too.

This is a tuffy…

[name_f]Irene[/name_f] [name_f]Victoria[/name_f] or [name_f]Irene[/name_f] [name_f]Ariadne[/name_f]

I prefer [name_f]Irene[/name_f]. For a middle name, I would choose [name_f]Sophia[/name_f].

There is not way for me to choose! I love both of these names so much! and they are both underused and forgotten about! they are both short, spare, and LOVELY! [name_f]My[/name_f] favorite combos are:

[name_f]Ida[/name_f] [name_f]Caroline[/name_f]
[name_f]Ida[/name_f] [name_f]Bernadette[/name_f]

[name_f]Irene[/name_f] [name_f]Susannah[/name_f]
[name_f]Irene[/name_f] [name_f]Virginia[/name_f]

Oh, my heart swoons! I think for me personally I like, [name_f]Susannah[/name_f] [name_f]Irene[/name_f] and [name_f]Virginia[/name_f] [name_f]Irene[/name_f] a little bet in terms of flow. but you really cannot go wrong either way!

I’ve always liked [name_f]Ida[/name_f], pronounced with the long I.

[name_f]Ida[/name_f] [name_f]Frances[/name_f]
[name_f]Ida[/name_f] [name_f]Lavinia[/name_f]
[name_f]Ida[/name_f] [name_f]Margot[/name_f]

I prefer [name_f]Irene[/name_f], and for a middle name I would choose either [name_f]Irene[/name_f] [name_f]Caroline[/name_f] or [name_f]Irene[/name_f] [name_f]Matilda[/name_f]!

[name_f]Irene[/name_f] if pronounced ee-ren-eh! I love [name_f]Irene[/name_f] [name_f]Caroline[/name_f] or [name_f]Irene[/name_f] [name_u]Antonia[/name_u]

[name_f]Ida[/name_f] Margot🥰 hope this helps.
