Middle name for daughter Winifred

[name_f]Morning[/name_f]!

We’re due [name_u]January[/name_u] and [name_f]Winifred[/name_f] is one of our top name contenders (along with [name_f]Fenella[/name_f], [name_f]Rosalind[/name_f] and Alberta).

We’re a bit stuck on middle names for [name_f]Winifred[/name_f]. Her second middle name would be [name_m]Jacob[/name_m], and her surname is short and starts with S.

Any ideas?

[name_f]Winifred[/name_f] is so sweet! [name_u]Love[/name_u] your other options as well. If you’re open to it, I really like the sound of [name_f]Winifred[/name_f] [name_f]Rosalind[/name_f] Jacob; [name_f]Winifred[/name_f] [name_f]Alberta[/name_f] [name_m]Jacob[/name_m] is also nice.

[name_f]Winifred[/name_f] is gorgeous :candle::basket:

She’s so cute oozing cottagecore vibes which makes me smile and the meaning ‘blessed peacemaking’ is beautiful. I also love the nicknames [name_f]Winnie[/name_f] and [name_u]Freddie[/name_u] as well.

[name_f]Fenella[/name_f] + [name_f]Rosalind[/name_f] are gorgeous too! [name_f]Alberta[/name_f] is a strong unexpected choice but I do prefer [name_f]Fenella[/name_f], [name_f]Rosalind[/name_f] and [name_f]Winifred[/name_f].

You’ve had lots of lovely suggestions so count any repeats as me being in agreement with the berries

This is why I love this forum! Some real standouts here.

  • Winifred Rose Jacob S is simple and pretty. Winifred Opal Jacob S is also simple but a bit edgier, and I love that it’s something or a tribute to my partner’s South Australian roots.

  • Winifred Isolde Jacob S also weirdly works for me. Jacob and Isolde seem similar but symbiotic?

  • Winifred Cecily Jacob S strikes that balance: is she a cottagecore maiden (as someone suggested above!) or is she a British socialite?

  • Winifred Ernestine Jacob S! Ernest is my dad’s name, how did you know!

  • Winifred Polly! This is so not the direction I thought we’d go, but it really tickles me.

  • Winifred Hannelore Jacob S. Hannelore really caught me attention as a name, though I don’t think we have interesting enough heritage to pull it off!

(Separately, I’ve told two people that Fenella is on our list and had two diametrically opposed reactions! But for some reason I just can’t get it out of my head. Fenella Florence Jacob S? Fenella Fern? I also have this huge soft spot for Alberta because it’s so unusual and how can you resist the nicknames Albie and Bertie?)

Your list of girls names is so stunning! You really cannot go wrong.
[name_f]My[/name_f] immediate thought was to use one of your other lovely contenders for Winifred’s middle. I think the one that works best is likely
[name_f]Winifred[/name_f] [name_f]Alberta[/name_f] [name_m]Jacob[/name_m].
I live [name_f]Fenella[/name_f], but find the f’s in [name_f]Winifred[/name_f] [name_f]Fenella[/name_f] a little trippy, so what about

You mention [name_u]South[/name_u] Australia so I took a glance at a map-

I wasn’t sure about Polly either but it flows so jauntily to Jacob! :tangerine:

I’m not sure about Florence or Fern after Fenella - the Fl of Florence a bit of a tongue twister after Fenella, and I’m thinking there could be a better one syllable name linking Fenella to Jacob (unless you’re treating Jacob more like a double-barrel with the last name?). Fenella Heidi Jacob? Fenella Claude/Claudie Jacob? Fenella Faye Jacob? Fenella Winifred Jacob? Fenella Rosie Jacob? Fenella Marnie Jacob?

What about Adelaide nn Daisy/Lady/Della as a first - seems to be closely related to your other faves and it’s a clear nod to South Australia without being too cute (said as a fellow Australian, it’s a beautiful name). Adelaide Fenella Jacob would be so enchanting!

[name_f]Adelaide[/name_f] was a strong contender to be her first name, but I worried it was getting a bit too popular both in Aus and in [name_u]London[/name_u] (where we live). But as a middle name, it might be perfect.

[name_f]Augusta[/name_f] is the other one we hadn’t considered! Another [name_u]South[/name_u] Australia tribute, and so pretty!

Ok [name_f]Winifred[/name_f] [name_u]Willoughby[/name_u] is also insanely cute.

Last cents from me, but another option - given the first likely to be turn of century Brit name - is to have a less well known Australian/Australia-relevant name, like Bronte, Kirrily, Airlie, Elanora (this spelling), Camira, Kirra, Eden (Eden Valley in SA), Morgan (SA), Lincoln (though not sure you’d want to use it with Jacob), wildcard: Rosella. Opal is a good option too!

Matilda and Adelaide are more well known Aussie contenders but could be nice to go for something less expected with the style of the first name.

(Oh and Alberta v Augusta - I like Bertie better than Auggie/Gussie but I prefer to say Augusta! Good luck!)
