We have settled on a name for baby girl on the way. We are going to name her [name_f]Finleigh[/name_f] its an odd name for a girl but the leigh gives it a feminine feel to it. We are now looking for a middle name…I am scanning the latest baby name book we bought and have a small list but ANY ideas would be great…looking for something either traditional,unique,nordic mythology or just nordic names would be awesome! Her siblings are [name_f]Aryana[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f],[name_m]Ian[/name_m] [name_m]Lorenzo[/name_m] and [name_u]Emory[/name_u] [name_u]June[/name_u].

[name_f]Finleigh[/name_f] [name_f]Marie[/name_f]
I like the idea of keeping with the one-syllable middle name for the girls. [name_m]How[/name_m] about?

Are you certain?–your other kids have such lovely, classic names. [name_u]Finley[/name_u] is trendy, and misspelling it will only lead to your descendants having to assume you were illiterate. There are so many lovely girls’ name options…I do hope you’ll reconsider.
My daughter is called [name_u]Finley[/name_u]. I think it’s cute. [name_f]Freya[/name_f] is also cute with a nordic background. [name_f]Freya[/name_f] is popular in the United Kingdom.

I’m curious as to your definition of ‘classic’? [name_u]Emory[/name_u] hadn’t been used on girls until a few years ago. It’s been a striclty boy name since the 1880s. [name_f]Aryana[/name_f] (that spelling) is not a classic spelling choice at all, and even [name_f]Ariana[/name_f]/[name_f]Arianna[/name_f] wasn’t used until the 1980s.
If you’re going to try to shame OP’s name choice, which she didn’t mention was up for discussion, it would be helpful to at least give a valid reason. [name_f]Finleigh[/name_f] seems like a perfectly reasonable addition to the sibset. [name_u]Emery[/name_u] vs [name_u]Emory[/name_u], [name_f]Aryana[/name_f] vs [name_f]Ariana[/name_f], she’s already proven she chooses the lesser-used spellings of the names she loves. The term ‘illiterate’ to describe style choice seems a bit harsh.
Sorry if I’ve coming off too hot-headed here, but I’m tired of seeing people insult name choices for no real reason, in a less than respectful tone.
Thank you for all the replies. I saw a few names we are already considering ([name_f]Estelle[/name_f]) is my wife’s middle name. Yes for children’s names we go for a traditional name and a unique one. I added several names to our list and will show my wife tonight. The [name_f]Finleigh[/name_f] spelling was my wife’s way of spelling it to merely give it a female twist to it. I love it. Yes I also think a shorter middle name would be best for such a long middle name.
I think since [name_f]Finleigh[/name_f] is sort of getting trendy, it needs a classic/unusual middle name. 
[name_f]Finleigh[/name_f] [name_f]Hazel[/name_f]
[name_f]Finleigh[/name_f] [name_f]Petra[/name_f]
[name_f]Finleigh[/name_f] [name_u]Scout[/name_u]
[name_f]Finleigh[/name_f] [name_f]Deirdre[/name_f]
Gave list to wife last night she narrowed it down considerably and we have
[name_f]Finleigh[/name_f] [name_f]Estelle[/name_f]
[name_f]Finleigh[/name_f] [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u]
[name_f]Finleigh[/name_f] [name_f]Aurora[/name_f]
[name_f]Finleigh[/name_f] [name_f]Odessa[/name_f]
[name_f]Finleigh[/name_f] [name_u]Rowan[/name_u]
[name_f]Finleigh[/name_f] [name_u]Rebel[/name_u]
we are also no considering Valkyrie [name_u]Rowan[/name_u] and [name_u]Rowan[/name_u] Valkyrie and [name_u]Rowan[/name_u] [name_f]Finleigh[/name_f].
From your combos, I like [name_f]Finleigh[/name_f] [name_f]Estelle[/name_f] and [name_f]Finleigh[/name_f] [name_f]Aurora[/name_f]. I also like of [name_u]Rowan[/name_u] [name_f]Finleigh[/name_f]. Good [name_m]Luck[/name_m]!
I love [name_f]Finleigh[/name_f] [name_f]Adele[/name_f]. My cousin’s daughter is named [name_u]Finley[/name_u]. Up until the last minute she was [name_u]Finley[/name_u] [name_f]Adele[/name_f], but her mother changed it to [name_u]Finley[/name_u] [name_f]Nora[/name_f]. I still insist that [name_u]Finley[/name_u] [name_f]Adele[/name_f] is prettier (although not in front of her parents!)
When I read the name of your post I was unclear if [name_f]Finleigh[/name_f] was a boy or girl. I do think the “leigh” part of the name makes it more feminine, but I would also consider a clearly feminine name for her middle.
I like:
[name_f]Finleigh[/name_f] [name_f]Greta[/name_f]
[name_f]Finleigh[/name_f] [name_f]Mae[/name_f]
[name_f]Finleigh[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f]
[name_f]Finleigh[/name_f] [name_f]Claire[/name_f]
[name_f]Finleigh[/name_f] [name_f]Elise[/name_f]
[name_f]Finleigh[/name_f] [name_f]Liv[/name_f] (nordic, pronounced leave)
After 3 kids I thought we were experts at naming kids but this has been so hard…we are getting closer to the perfect name just wish we could decide already! lol…
