My husband and I have struggled with girl names, and we’ll probably keep looking but right now we’ve narrowed down girl names to [name_f]Maren[/name_f] or [name_f]Eve[/name_f]. I’d really appreciate your thoughts on these two names, which you prefer, any other suggestions, or any middle name suggestions! I love the name [name_f]Caroline[/name_f], and I think [name_f]Eve[/name_f] [name_f]Caroline[/name_f] sounds good, but I don’t think [name_f]Caroline[/name_f] works as well as a middle for [name_f]Maren[/name_f]. Thanks for your help everyone!
Both gorgeous names!
[name_f]Eve[/name_f] feels more simple, chic and timeless, while [name_f]Maren[/name_f] feels more unexpected. I personally prefer the perfect simplicity and symmetry of [name_f]Eve[/name_f], but I think [name_f]Maren[/name_f] would make for a gorgeous, sophisticated choice too.
Middle names for [name_f]Maren[/name_f], in a similar vein to classic [name_f]Caroline[/name_f]:
[name_f]Maren[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f]
[name_f]Maren[/name_f] [name_f]Isabelle[/name_f]
[name_f]Maren[/name_f] [name_f]Margaret[/name_f]

[name_f]Maren[/name_f] [name_f]Mirabelle[/name_f]
[name_f]Eve[/name_f] [name_f]Caroline[/name_f] is a great combo so I’d go with that. [name_f]Maren[/name_f] is a little heavier as a fn, so I think something lighter works better as a mn-- [name_f]Maren[/name_f] [name_f]Eliza[/name_f], [name_f]Maren[/name_f] [name_f]Felicity[/name_f], [name_f]Maren[/name_f] [name_f]Juliet[/name_f], [name_f]Maren[/name_f] [name_f]Clothilde[/name_f], [name_f]Maren[/name_f] [name_f]Ivy[/name_f], [name_f]Maren[/name_f] [name_f]Eve[/name_f], [name_f]Maren[/name_f] [name_u]Ruby[/name_u], [name_f]Maren[/name_f] [name_f]Zoe[/name_f], [name_f]Maren[/name_f] [name_f]Lucy[/name_f], [name_f]Maren[/name_f] [name_f]Cecilia[/name_f], [name_f]Maren[/name_f] [name_f]Violet[/name_f], or [name_f]Maren[/name_f] [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] are suggestions.
I love both but [name_f]Eve[/name_f] [name_f]Caroline[/name_f] is such a lovely combination!
I like both choices a lot, but [name_f]Eve[/name_f] [name_f]Caroline[/name_f] is really fantastic. It gets my vote!
I like both but my preference leans more towards [name_f]Eve[/name_f]. It’s quite elegant, symmetrical as others have said. I tend to think of the [name_f]Eve[/name_f] doll played by [name_f]Tyra[/name_f] [name_m]Banks[/name_m] costarring [name_u]Lindsay[/name_u] Lohan in the movie “Life Size”. Not a bad thing, just my first ever memory of the name as a child.
I don’t mind [name_f]Eve[/name_f] paired with [name_f]Caroline[/name_f], but I find going from the V to the hard C sound a little difficult on my tongue.
[name_f]Maren[/name_f] plus [name_f]Eve[/name_f] remind me of [name_f]Maven[/name_f] and [name_f]Maeve[/name_f]/[name_f]Maeva[/name_f]. [name_f]Eve[/name_f] plus [name_f]Caroline[/name_f] makes me think of [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u]/[name_f]Evelina[/name_f]. [name_f]Maren[/name_f] plus [name_f]Caroline[/name_f] make me think of [name_f]Marine[/name_f]/[name_f]Marina[/name_f] and [name_f]Karina[/name_f].
Like @justthinkin, I thought of [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] as a name you may like that combines both. That said, [name_f]Eve[/name_f] [name_f]Caroline[/name_f] is clearly a winning name. I think [name_f]Maren[/name_f] is just as lovely as [name_f]Eve[/name_f], and a bit more unique. Here are some ideas for a middle name for [name_f]Maren[/name_f]:
[name_f]Maren[/name_f] [name_f]Kate[/name_f]
[name_f]Maren[/name_f] [name_f]Lucia[/name_f]
[name_f]Maren[/name_f] [name_f]Sofia[/name_f]
[name_f]Maren[/name_f] [name_f]Emily[/name_f]
[name_f]Maren[/name_f] [name_f]Hope[/name_f]
[name_f]Maren[/name_f] [name_f]Celeste[/name_f]
[name_f]Maren[/name_f] [name_u]Simone[/name_u]
[name_f]Maren[/name_f] [name_f]Camille[/name_f]
[name_f]Maren[/name_f] [name_f]Giselle[/name_f]
[name_f]Maren[/name_f] [name_f]Miranda[/name_f]
[name_f]Maren[/name_f] [name_f]Viviana[/name_f]
[name_f]Maren[/name_f] [name_f]Annelise[/name_f]
[name_f]Maren[/name_f] [name_f]Cecilia[/name_f]
My top picks for you would be:
[name_f]Eve[/name_f] [name_f]Caroline[/name_f]
[name_f]Maren[/name_f] [name_f]Viviana[/name_f]
[name_f]Maeve[/name_f] [name_f]Caroline[/name_f]
[name_f]Eve[/name_f] [name_f]Caroline[/name_f] is lovely!
I love both [name_f]Eve[/name_f] and [name_f]Maren[/name_f]! I admit I do slightly prefer [name_f]Eva[/name_f] and [name_f]Maris[/name_f], but [name_f]Eve[/name_f] and [name_f]Maren[/name_f] have always been near and dear to my heart, too, and they’re stunning names! [name_f]Eve[/name_f] [name_f]Caroline[/name_f] was even on my list, years ago, haha. I think it’s super timeless and sweet.
[name_f]Maren[/name_f] [name_f]Eve[/name_f] would be sweet, or I even like the simplicity of [name_f]Maren[/name_f] [name_f]Elisabeth[/name_f]. [name_f]Maren[/name_f] [name_f]Isabelle[/name_f]? [name_f]Maren[/name_f] [name_f]Eliza[/name_f]?
If I had to vote, [name_f]Eve[/name_f] [name_f]Caroline[/name_f] would get my vote, but [name_f]Maren[/name_f] is super lovely, too!
All the best!
I like [name_f]Maren[/name_f] better, but I do love the combo [name_f]Eve[/name_f] [name_f]Caroline[/name_f].
I prefer [name_f]Eve[/name_f] to [name_f]Maren[/name_f]. I see [name_f]Eve[/name_f] as elegant and timeless. [name_f]Maren[/name_f] reminds me of [name_f]Karen[/name_f] and has the same vibe to me. [name_m]Even[/name_m] though it’s not dated it sounds like it’s from the same era as [name_f]Karen[/name_f], which is not to say I don’t like it - it’s a perfectly nice name.
