DH and I are currently TTC #2, and if we have a girl, she’ll be [name_f]Claudia[/name_f]. We’ve been settled on this for over two years, but we are still stuck on her middle name, and I’d like to get unstuck sooner rather than later.
DD is [name_f]Ramona[/name_f] [name_f]Audrey[/name_f], and I feel like I compromised too much with her middle name. I don’t want to feel that way this time around. DH doesn’t seem to agree that I compromised, so he’s not willing to do the same. I don’t know if my best shot is to wow him with something fresh and new or to try to get him on board with something I truly love, but either way I’m in need of some outside perspective and input.
DH would like something like [name_f]Claudia[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f]. (I like [name_f]Jane[/name_f], but not as a middle name.) I’d prefer something like [name_f]Claudia[/name_f] [name_u]Vesper[/name_u] or [name_f]Claudia[/name_f] [name_u]Hero[/name_u]. We might be able to meet in the middle with something like [name_f]Claudia[/name_f] [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f], but I’m not totally sold. Her surname will be double-barrelled and six syllables long, but we don’t feel that we need to limit ourselves strictly to shorter names (though they obviously might flow better).
What middle names would you suggest for [name_f]Claudia[/name_f]? Give me everything you’ve got!
I also thought of [name_f]Claudia[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] but I like the genre of names like [name_u]Hero[/name_u], to compliment [name_f]Claudia[/name_f].
