I think [name_f]Maple[/name_f] makes for a very sweet middle name.

I second this but, beyond that, I think it’s totally usable! I actually really like it.

Right now my front runner is [name_f]Philippa[/name_f] [name_f]Maple[/name_f], or [name_f]Pippa[/name_f] [name_f]Mae[/name_f] as I think in my head sometimes, I am trying to sell my fiancé on the idea of [name_f]Maple[/name_f] in the middle as of a few hours ago, his tastes run more conservative than mine do, so it’s a bit of a tough sell, I am making strides though! It helps that it’s getting a positive response on here, he thinks I am a bit less crazy!

I agree it needs a good grounding first name, some of the suggestions I love so far are:
[name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] /[name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] [name_f]Maple[/name_f]
[name_f]Helena[/name_f] [name_f]Maple[/name_f]
[name_f]Anna[/name_f] [name_f]Maple[/name_f]
[name_u]Evelyn[/name_u] [name_f]Maple[/name_f]
[name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] [name_f]Maple[/name_f]
[name_f]Hermione[/name_f] [name_f]Maple[/name_f] (Great flow!)
[name_f]Cordelia[/name_f] [name_f]Maple[/name_f]
[name_f]Cecily[/name_f] [name_f]Maple[/name_f]
[name_f]Amabel[/name_f] [name_f]Maple[/name_f]
And obviously [name_f]Pippa[/name_f] [name_f]Maple[/name_f] itself!

Gorgeous in the middle! I absolutely [name_f]ADORE[/name_f] [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] [name_f]Maple[/name_f] and [name_f]Pippa[/name_f] [name_f]Maple[/name_f] in particular!

I think it would be really nice as a middle name, I don’t mind it as a first name but I just like the whimsy of it in a middle name. I think something feminine yet strong would be epic with [name_f]Maple[/name_f], such as:

[name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] [name_f]Maple[/name_f]
[name_f]Sophie[/name_f] [name_f]Maple[/name_f]
[name_f]Leonora[/name_f] [name_f]Maple[/name_f]
[name_f]Jacquetta[/name_f] [name_f]Maple[/name_f]
[name_f]Dorothy[/name_f] [name_f]Maple[/name_f]
[name_f]Josephine[/name_f] [name_f]Maple[/name_f]
[name_f]Harriet[/name_f] [name_f]Maple[/name_f]
[name_f]Adelaide[/name_f] [name_f]Maple[/name_f]
[name_u]Vivian[/name_u] [name_f]Maple[/name_f]
[name_f]Georgina[/name_f]/ [name_f]Georgiana[/name_f] [name_f]Maple[/name_f]
[name_f]Annabelle[/name_f] [name_f]Maple[/name_f]
[name_f]Alice[/name_f] [name_f]Maple[/name_f]
[name_f]Freda[/name_f] [name_f]Maple[/name_f]
[name_f]Louisa[/name_f] [name_f]Maple[/name_f]
[name_f]Isadora[/name_f] [name_f]Maple[/name_f]
[name_u]Evelyn[/name_u] [name_f]Maple[/name_f]
[name_f]Octavia[/name_f] [name_f]Maple[/name_f]
[name_f]Florence[/name_f] [name_f]Maple[/name_f]
[name_f]Willa[/name_f] [name_f]Maple[/name_f]
[name_f]Lydia[/name_f] [name_f]Maple[/name_f]
[name_f]Clara[/name_f] [name_f]Maple[/name_f]

[name_f]Zara[/name_f] [name_f]Maple[/name_f]

Definitely! I think it’d be an adorable middle name for perhaps a three syllable first name?

[name_f]Emmeline[/name_f] [name_f]Maple[/name_f]
[name_f]Georgina[/name_f] [name_f]Maple[/name_f]
[name_f]Annalise[/name_f] [name_f]Maple[/name_f]
[name_u]Everly[/name_u] [name_f]Maple[/name_f]
[name_f]Sophia[/name_f] [name_f]Maple[/name_f]

[name_f]Emmeline[/name_f] [name_f]Maple[/name_f] is gorgeous, but our puppy is named [name_f]Emmy[/name_f]! [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] [name_f]Maple[/name_f] is lovely as well but E names give unfortunate sounding initials with the Z last name. Which really sucks, I love so many E names!
So many great suggestions! It looks like [name_f]Maple[/name_f] for the most part has gotten a great response and my fiancé did not give it a resounding No or shoot it down at all so it’s definitely in the running and a strong contender so far! I am a bit wary of how it will be perceived by our families, I can see them taking the way of thinking it’s ridiculous or silly. But how often is a middle name said anyway?
