Middle for Catherine?

Girl Names

[name_f]Catherine[/name_f] was on my list for my first daughter and I keep coming back to it this pregnancy. So, maybe it’s the one? I do love that it’s classic and has lots of nickname options. I’m exploring middles now. My other two kids have family middle names. What do you guys think of these?

[name_f]Catherine[/name_f] [name_u]Carter[/name_u] (nn [name_f]Kate[/name_f], Cici) - [name_u]Carter[/name_u] is my dad’s middle name and I’d really like to honor him.
[name_f]Catherine[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] (nn [name_f]Kate[/name_f], [name_f]Kate[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f]) - I’ve considered [name_f]Rose[/name_f] as a first and don’t love it as a middle since it’s so popular there. However, the double barrel [name_f]Kate[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] intrigues me. Would we use it? Is it too much?
[name_f]Catherine[/name_f] [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] (nn [name_f]Kate[/name_f], [name_f]Tilly[/name_f], [name_f]Tilly[/name_f] [name_f]Kate[/name_f]) - My grandmother’s first name is [name_f]Matilda[/name_f]. I love it but my husband doesn’t. Pretty sure I could slip it in as a middle without an issue though. :wink:

[name_f]Catherine[/name_f] [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] is my favorite of your options. Very elegant. I also like the idea of using Cici as a nickname if you go with [name_u]Carter[/name_u]. I love [name_f]Rose[/name_f], but prefer it as a first name.

I love [name_f]Catherine[/name_f] [name_u]Carter[/name_u] with the nn of Cici!

I’d go for [name_f]Catherine[/name_f] [name_u]Carter[/name_u], to honor your dad. It’s definitely a nice thing to get out of a name.

[name_f]Catherine[/name_f] [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] is my favourite, though I think you have good reason to use [name_u]Carter[/name_u] as well and [name_f]Catherine[/name_f] [name_u]Carter[/name_u] works well.
