[name]Hi[/name] all 
We’re still TTC, but …
[name]Avalon[/name] is near the top of our list for a girl. I love it, but can’t seem to find a middle name that fits well. Our last name is one syllable and starts with an H. [name]Do[/name] you have any suggestions?
hmm kinda hard… avalon lily
avalon grace
avalon riven
avalon paris
i really like avalon elizabeth
let me know what you think i’ll try to think of more =]
[name]Avalon[/name]'s a “new” name that sounds old. I don’t know whether I should go modern or retro. What other names have you rejected and why?
I love [name]Avalon[/name]! I would suggest sticking with 1-2 syllables for the mn since your last name is only 1. Here are some of my picks.
[name]Avalon[/name] [name]Maris[/name]
[name]Avalon[/name] [name]Lenore[/name] (not sure about the 2 "L"s here but I like it)
[name]Avalon[/name] [name]Clara[/name]
[name]Avalon[/name] [name]Delia[/name]
[name]Avalon[/name] [name]Kay[/name]
[name]Avalon[/name] [name]Rayne[/name]
[name]Avalon[/name] [name]Celine[/name] (2 “N’s” ?)
[name]Avalon[/name] [name]Tess[/name]
[name]Avalon[/name] is very unique, I like it
A few random suggestions:
[name]Avalon[/name] [name]Day[/name]
[name]Avalon[/name] [name]Irene[/name]
[name]Avalon[/name] [name]Flora[/name]
[name]Avalon[/name] [name]Iris[/name]
[name]Avalon[/name] [name]Mira[/name]
Thanks for the responses everyone! Most of these pairings I haven’t considered and it’s really fun to see other people’s creativity and point of view.
jessyyjess - I especially like the flow of [name]Avalon[/name] [name]Elisabeth[/name]… I just don’t love [name]Elisabeth[/name].
triplicate - It’s funny, I’ve known an [name]Avalon[/name] half my life - she’s now in her 80’s- so it’s always seemed like an “older” name to me.
Family names I’ve considered:
[name]Adele[/name], [name]Josephine[/name], [name]Jean[/name] (which I hate, but it’s big in Hubs’ family and is my mn)
Other names from our list:
[name]Aurelia[/name], [name]Claire[/name], [name]Julia[/name], [name]Cate[/name], [name]London[/name], [name]Ireland[/name], [name]Willow[/name], [name]Miriam[/name], [name]Ariel[/name], [name]Brooke[/name], [name]Genevieve[/name]
It’s hard to balance because [name]Avalon[/name] seems like a place name as well as a nature name (not to mention fantasy-inspired)… and Hub’s doesn’t want to get “too hippie.” 
Seperate question(s): Is your first impression “alternative to [name]Ava[/name]?” I thinks [name]Ava[/name]'s okay, it’s just not what I’m going for. Also, [name]Avalon[/name] seems to be one of those names new medical clinics/condos like to name themselves (and there’s that minivan)… does this make the name too, I don’t know… generic?
I love [name]Ava[/name] and [name]Avalon[/name]. If I preferred more of an unisex sound I would opt for [name]Avalon[/name] and put a frilly mn with it.
[name]Avalon[/name] [name]Genevieve[/name]
[name]Avalon[/name] [name]Alyssa[/name]
[name]Avalon[/name] [name]Matilda[/name]
[name]Avalon[/name] [name]Marissa[/name]/[name]Mary[/name]
[name]Avalon[/name] [name]Calista[/name]
[name]Avalon[/name] [name]Skye[/name]
[name]Avalon[/name] [name]Jessamine[/name]
[name]Avalon[/name] [name]Lacey[/name]
[name]Avalon[/name] [name]Charlotte[/name]
[name]Avalon[/name] [name]Scarlett[/name]
PS [name]Love[/name] all the names on your list just make them middles for [name]Avalon[/name].
I love [name]Avalon[/name]…

A few suggestions of middle names I sent you. [name_f]Hope[/name_f] they help
What about …
[name_f]Avalon[/name_f] [name_f]Brenna[/name_f]
[name_f]Avalon[/name_f] [name_f]Emerald[/name_f]
[name_f]Avalon[/name_f] [name_f]Nicole[/name_f]

My personal favorite has always been [name_f]Jane[/name_f]. It also uses all the same letters as [name_u]Jean[/name_u].
[name_f]Avalon[/name_f] is a lovely choice! I think a pretty feminine name would make a lovely middle choice.
[name_f]Avalon[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f] (although [name_f]Grace[/name_f] is becoming a filler)
