Hubby is really pushing for [name_u]Adair[/name_u] (and [name_u]Sloane[/name_u] but [name_u]Sloane[/name_u] doesn’t work with our last name). I’m okay with [name_u]Adair[/name_u] but I cannot find a middle name I like. [name_f]My[/name_f] #1 ([name_f]Daphne[/name_f] [name_u]Lane[/name_u]) uses a family name in the middle and I think part of my problem is i don’t have a family name that works with [name_u]Adair[/name_u]. I’d also prefer something rather feminine to pair with such a non-frilly FN. Last name is Cummings.
Options on our MN list are:
[name_u]Lane[/name_u]
[name_f]Delight[/name_f] ([name_f]MIL[/name_f]'s MN)
[name_f]Reverie[/name_f]
[name_f]Mirabel[/name_f]
[name_f]Gloria[/name_f]
[name_f]Annabel[/name_f]
I just don’t feel like anything flows with [name_u]Adair[/name_u]. Maybe its just me? Thoughts? Suggestions?
From pp’s suggestions, I kind of like [name_u]Adair[/name_u] [name_f]Cecilia[/name_f] and [name_u]Adair[/name_u] [name_f]Felicity[/name_f]. It’s hard to pick middles for [name_u]Adair[/name_u] because, with the emphasis on that second syllable, [name_u]Adair[/name_u] flows better in the middle spot itself. Have you considered using [name_f]Daphne[/name_f] [name_u]Adair[/name_u]?
I have a daughter named [name_u]Adair[/name_u]. This was a problem for me, but I realized that in order for it to flow, the emphasis needed to be on the second syllable of the middle name. Our daughter’s first and middle names are [name_u]Adair[/name_u] Irei (pronounced I-ray…it’s a family name)…There is a website that has a list of names that have the second-syllable stressed Name Nerds! middle names
