Hello, I have been lurking for many months! I would like to ask some help for a middle name. I think we have decided on [name]Celeste[/name] as a first name for our baby girl, who is due really soon. Our last name is two syllables and consonant heavy so I like the softness of [name]Celeste[/name] against that. Now I’m looking for a middle name. I think I would prefer either a one syllable name (I have been thinking about [name]Joy[/name] as a possibility) or a three syllable name. For the longer option I’d like one with a Latin/Italian origin, probably ending in -a. Nothing trendy or super popular! Thanks so much for your ideas, I am feeling a little stuck!

Thank you! My favorites so far are either [name]Celeste[/name] [name]Joy[/name] or [name]Celeste[/name] [name]Valentina[/name]. I also like [name]Camilla[/name], [name]Allegra[/name], and [name]Veronica[/name]. I’m a little concerned about the growing popularity of [name]Valentina[/name], but it’s hard for me to imagine it will become super popular (like [name]Isabella[/name]). [name]Allegra[/name] is nice but a little consonant heavy, like our last name, not sure about the -gr at the end. Any further thoughts welcome!
I think [name]Celeste[/name] [name]Joy[/name] is lovely. Her name would mean heavenly joy. Doesn’t get much better than that.
My only concern with [name]Celeste[/name] [name]Joy[/name] is that I’m not particularly religious, and ‘heavenly joy’ seems like it has strong religious overtones. I like [name]Celeste[/name] more for the celestial/space meaning rather than heaven, per se.
Anyone have any more polysyllabic, flowery Latin/Italian names to suggest?

Italian for dear little one or cute
