My sister is expecting soon and she and her husband can’t agree on a middle name. She asked me for suggestions so I thought I’d post here since I received help a few months ago for my own.
The first name is definitely [name_f]Alexandria[/name_f] (note the “i”). I think they will call her [name_u]Alex[/name_u] for short. My sister’s ideas are [name_u]Drew[/name_u] and [name_u]Quinn[/name_u] (she’s thinking [name_f]Alexandria[/name_f] is so feminine maybe something less so for the middle). He likes [name_f]Octavia[/name_f] and [name_f]Olympia[/name_f]. She thinks these may be too much with [name_f]Alexandria[/name_f]. You can see how far apart they are on this. It took them forever to agree on a first name.
Their last name us only one syllable, which makes me think maybe it should be a two-syllable name for better flow.
I’d love people’s thoughts on this and some good suggestions. Thank you!
[name_f]Alexandria[/name_f] has been one of my favorites for a while now. I usually paired it like this:
[name_f]Alexandria[/name_f] [name_u]Quinn[/name_u]
They could have more options if they drop the ‘i’ and go for [name_f]Alexandra[/name_f] (and consider nn [name_u]Sasha[/name_u]). But [name_f]Alexandria[/name_f] [name_f]Marie[/name_f], [name_f]Alexandria[/name_f] [name_f]Camille[/name_f], [name_f]Alexandria[/name_f] [name_f]Odette[/name_f], [name_f]Alexandria[/name_f] [name_f]Perrine[/name_f], [name_f]Alexandria[/name_f] [name_f]Isolde[/name_f], [name_f]Alexandria[/name_f] [name_f]Renee[/name_f], [name_f]Alexandria[/name_f] [name_f]Yvette[/name_f].
Thanks for all your suggestions. I’m passing these on to my sister and hoping that it will help them pick a good middle name! Please keep sending your ideas. They are greatly appreciated.
