the husband and I have chosen [name_f]Eulalia[/name_f] (with the nickname [name_f]Lallie[/name_f]) for our third daughter, but can’t decide on middle names that sound right or that we’re both keen on.
our two older girls are
[name_f]Clementine[/name_f] [name_f]Celia[/name_f] [name_f]Alice[/name_f] ([name_u]Clemmie[/name_u])
[name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Madeleine[/name_f] ([name_f]Bea[/name_f])
We’d like to use [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] somewhere, but otherwise we’re fond of eclectic classic names (not keen on made up/ word names!) and obviously there needs to be two of them! arrgh!
love [name_f]Iris[/name_f], [name_f]Olive[/name_f], [name_f]Daisy[/name_f], [name_f]Jane[/name_f], and [name_f]Claire[/name_f]! spoilt for choice! Thank you xx
My great-grandmother’s name was [name_f]Eulalia[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f]! I think they work well together, I’d go with a one-syllable name for the other middle because [name_f]Eulalia[/name_f] and [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] are both long. You could also use [name_f]Elise[/name_f] for [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f].
I second the previous suggestions of [name_f]Eulalia[/name_f] [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f], [name_f]Eulalia[/name_f] [name_u]January[/name_u] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f], and [name_f]Eulalia[/name_f] [name_f]Iris[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f]!
Oh, I absolutely love your girls’ names. And you have lots of beautiful suggestions already for this third babe! [name_m]Just[/name_m] popping in to suggest that choosing a botanical name to round out [name_f]Eulalia[/name_f] and [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] could be a nice tie to her sisters, since they each have one botanical name already ([name_f]Clementine[/name_f] and [name_f]Violet[/name_f]).
I LOVE [name_f]Eulalia[/name_f], if my husband would’ve let me it probably would’ve been my little girls name! That being said I love the suggestion of putting a botanical/Nature theme named to tie in to [name_f]Violet[/name_f] & [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] so I would suggest…
Gorgeous name! And excellent choices for your other girls
Apologies if I’ve missed someone’s response and repeat anything, but [name_f]Aster[/name_f] could work as well. The Asteraceae are also plants within the [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] family if you wanted to keep the flora connection.
I’m also unsure as to whether perhaps you are honouring an [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] who went by [name_f]Lizzy[/name_f], [name_f]Eliza[/name_f], [name_f]Lize[/name_f]/a, [name_f]Betty[/name_f] or [name_f]Beth[/name_f]? Shortening the name could mean keeping it within a similar number of syllables as the other two. I quite like the more continental European “[name_f]Lize[/name_f]” (if you were to go down the [name_f]Lize[/name_f] or [name_f]Liza[/name_f] path) with a LEEZ pronunciation but L-EYE-ZA works just as well.
[name_f]Eulalia[/name_f] [name_f]Aster[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f]
[name_f]Eulalia[/name_f] [name_f]Liza[/name_f] [name_f]Millicent[/name_f]
[name_f]Eulalia[/name_f] [name_f]Beth[/name_f] [name_f]Eloise[/name_f] - [name_f]Eloise[/name_f] would allow you to connect [name_f]Alice[/name_f] and [name_f]Madeleine[/name_f] to much loved female protagonists from literature too!
I’ve only ever heard it pronounced you-lal-ee-ah except I suppose in an American accent that would sound like you-law-lee-ah (just a guess given the time of writing!) I’d pronounce it as if [name_f]Lallie[/name_f] was sandwiched between the Eu and A x
