Currently hung up on the name [name_f]Eleni[/name_f] for our little girl due next year, we’d nn her [name_f]Leni[/name_f]. I’m struggling for a middle name though, preferably something short as its already 3 syllables. The ones on my list so far but not grabbing me are:
[name_f]Eleni[/name_f] [name_u]Wren[/name_u]
[name_f]Eleni[/name_f] [name_u]Willow[/name_u]
[name_f]Eleni[/name_f] [name_f]Autumn[/name_f] (but she’s due in winter/spring!)
[name_f]Eleni[/name_f] [name_f]Sofia[/name_f] (too many syllables?)
[name_f]Eleni[/name_f] [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] (too rhyme-y)
Thanks!

What a beautiful name you have chosen. [name_u]Unique[/name_u], strong but also very feminine. It was my grandmother’s name and my daughter’s name and thus, I can relate to your struggle to find a middle name.
As for a middle name, I agree with you, I like the sound of the middle name to be shorter and something to compliment [name_f]Eleni[/name_f] and not detract from it. Have you considered [name_f]Eleni[/name_f] [name_f]Ruth[/name_f], [name_f]Eleni[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f], [name_f]Eleni[/name_f] May/Mae or [name_f]Eleni[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f]. I like [name_f]Eleni[/name_f] [name_f]Sophia[/name_f], it was on our list too, but I think [name_f]Sophia[/name_f] may compete with it too much. If I were to use [name_f]Sophia[/name_f] and [name_f]Eleni[/name_f], I would flip it to be [name_f]Sophia[/name_f] [name_f]Eleni[/name_f].
Good luck with your decision.
[name_f]Eleni[/name_f] [name_u]Wren[/name_u] caught my ear immediately! I think it sounds fantastic and complete.

Ohh, [name_f]Eleni[/name_f] is gorgeous and I adore [name_f]Leni[/name_f]! [name_f]Eleni[/name_f] [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] nn [name_f]Leni[/name_f] has been on my list for years and years, I love her. Obviously I’m biased toward [name_f]Eleni[/name_f] [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f], but I think [name_f]Eleni[/name_f] [name_f]Sofia[/name_f] is also gorgeous! I like [name_u]Wren[/name_u] and [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] but I don’t love them with [name_f]Eleni[/name_f] for some reason.
[name_f]Eleni[/name_f] [name_f]Giovanna[/name_f] was on my list prior to [name_f]Eleni[/name_f] Charlotte; I agree [name_f]Eleni[/name_f] is pretty tricky though. I think virtue names are nice with [name_f]Eleni[/name_f] though? [name_f]Eleni[/name_f] [name_f]Joy[/name_f] and [name_f]Eleni[/name_f] [name_f]Hope[/name_f] in particular are really nice.

Thanks all. I think we’re leaning towards [name_f]Eleni[/name_f] Sophia/Sofia. I really like the suggestions of [name_u]Snow[/name_u], [name_f]Faye[/name_f], [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] and [name_u]Fern[/name_u] but they’re all family names which we are avoiding! Adding [name_f]Eleni[/name_f] [name_f]Joy[/name_f] and [name_f]Eleni[/name_f] [name_f]Violet[/name_f] to the list though.
We’re now torn between [name_f]Eleni[/name_f] and [name_u]Willow[/name_u] as a first name, I may start a poll about this if we can’t figure it out soon! If we use [name_u]Willow[/name_u] then Sophia/Sofia will almost certainly be the MN (which makes me sad as it’ll mean I won’t ever get to use Leni!)
