So baby #2 will be arriving in roughly a week!! [name_f]My[/name_f] husband & I are so indecisive, but I think we have an unofficial agreement on [name_u]Hadley[/name_u]. What are your thoughts on possible middle names? If it helps, she will be joining big brother [name_u]Emmett[/name_u] [name_m]Matthew[/name_m]. [name_f]My[/name_f] top choices are as follows:
[name_u]Hadley[/name_u] [name_f]Claire[/name_f] - I just love [name_f]Claire[/name_f].
[name_u]Hadley[/name_u] [name_u]Wren[/name_u] - I have recently have become intrigued with [name_u]Wren[/name_u] (especially because we just moved to [name_f]Alaska[/name_f]). I just wonder if this pairing sounds too harsh together (if that makes sense).
[name_u]Hadley[/name_u] [name_f]Nicole[/name_f] - [name_f]Nicole[/name_f] is my middle name. [name_f]My[/name_f] son has my husbands first name as his middle name. Keeping it in the family I suppose.
Of the three, I prefer [name_u]Hadley[/name_u] [name_f]Claire[/name_f]. [name_u]Hadley[/name_u] [name_u]Wren[/name_u] is quite nice too though, I must say, and while I like the idea of repeating your own middle on a daughter, I don’t think [name_f]Nicole[/name_f] works as well as others could with [name_u]Hadley[/name_u] - what about your first or maiden name, or a variant of either to stay with the ‘keeping it in the family’ idea?
I like [name_u]Hadley[/name_u] [name_f]Claire[/name_f] quite a bit! [name_u]Hadley[/name_u] [name_u]Wren[/name_u] is nice too, but I prefer [name_f]Claire[/name_f]. The softness of it is nice in contrast with [name_u]Hadley[/name_u]. If you want softer bird names, what about [name_u]Hadley[/name_u] [name_u]Dove[/name_u] or [name_u]Hadley[/name_u] [name_f]Lark[/name_f]?
[name_u]Hadley[/name_u] [name_u]Wren[/name_u] is cute, not predictable like [name_f]Nicole[/name_f] and [name_f]Claire[/name_f] (though they are nice names).
I like the idea of a nature name with [name_u]Hadley[/name_u], what about:
[name_u]Hadley[/name_u] [name_u]Juniper[/name_u]
[name_u]Hadley[/name_u] [name_f]Azalea[/name_f]
[name_u]Hadley[/name_u] [name_f]Aurora[/name_f]
[name_u]Hadley[/name_u] [name_f]Calla[/name_f]
[name_u]Hadley[/name_u] [name_f]Clementine[/name_f]
[name_u]Hadley[/name_u] [name_f]Dawn[/name_f]
[name_u]Hadley[/name_u] [name_f]Fern[/name_f]
[name_u]Hadley[/name_u] [name_f]Flora[/name_f]
[name_u]Hadley[/name_u] [name_f]Iris[/name_f]
[name_u]Hadley[/name_u] [name_f]Olive[/name_f]
[name_u]Hadley[/name_u] [name_f]Primrose[/name_f]
[name_u]Hadley[/name_u] [name_f]Snow[/name_f]
[name_u]Hadley[/name_u] [name_f]Violet[/name_f]
All three are nice middles. I like [name_u]Wren[/name_u] the best, since it is a bit different.
What about these options:
[name_u]Hadley[/name_u] [name_f]Aurora[/name_f]
[name_u]Hadley[/name_u] [name_u]Raven[/name_u]
[name_u]Hadley[/name_u] [name_u]Robin[/name_u]
[name_u]Hadley[/name_u] [name_f]Jasmine[/name_f]
[name_u]Hadley[/name_u] [name_f]Willow[/name_f]
With [name_u]Hadley[/name_u] I’d vote for a very feminine mn like [name_f]Claire[/name_f] (gorgeous combo) and I love the idea of you passing on your middle name or even first (?) to [name_u]Hadley[/name_u]. Although, [name_u]Hadley[/name_u] [name_u]Nicola[/name_u] sounds a touch better? But meaning trumps everything as mns aren’t used a lot.
I think [name_u]Wren[/name_u] looks nice but sounds a bit harsh, plus doesn’t add a girly touch. It’s becoming way more common too, I see it as a [name_f]Rose[/name_f], [name_f]Grace[/name_f], [name_u]Kay[/name_u], [name_f]Mae[/name_f] these days.
I think of the three options you gave, I like [name_u]Hadley[/name_u] [name_f]Claire[/name_f] best.
I don’t think [name_f]Nicole[/name_f] goes with [name_u]Hadley[/name_u] that well and think that generally [name_u]Hadley[/name_u] would need a more feminine middle name than [name_u]Wren[/name_u]. More examples I thought of:
[name_u]Hadley[/name_u] [name_f]Rose[/name_f]
[name_u]Hadley[/name_u] [name_f]Jane[/name_f]
[name_u]Hadley[/name_u] [name_f]Marie[/name_f]
[name_u]Hadley[/name_u] [name_f]Dawn[/name_f]
[name_u]Hadley[/name_u] [name_f]Anne[/name_f]
[name_u]Hadley[/name_u] [name_f]Alice[/name_f]
[name_u]Hadley[/name_u] [name_f]Christine[/name_f]
[name_u]Hadley[/name_u] [name_f]Isabelle[/name_f]
[name_u]Hadley[/name_u] [name_f]Carolyn[/name_f]
[name_u]Hadley[/name_u] [name_f]Katherine[/name_f]
[name_u]Love[/name_u] [name_u]Hadley[/name_u]! [name_f]My[/name_f] favorite of them would probably be [name_u]Hadley[/name_u] [name_f]Claire[/name_f]–I like the feminine balance of [name_f]Claire[/name_f] with the unisex [name_u]Hadley[/name_u]. I [name_u]LOVE[/name_u] [name_u]Wren[/name_u], but [name_u]Hadley[/name_u] [name_u]Wren[/name_u] just feels too unisex to me. And [name_u]Hadley[/name_u] [name_f]Nicole[/name_f] is nice, but I like your other options more. [name_u]Hadley[/name_u]'s been on and off my list for ages (currently off, but I have major crushing going on!), but combos I’ve loved in the past:
Clearly, I love “E” and “G” names with it. I would love to see [name_u]Hadley[/name_u] [name_f]Catherine[/name_f], [name_u]Hadley[/name_u] [name_f]Juliet[/name_f], [name_u]Hadley[/name_u] [name_f]Annemarie[/name_f], [name_u]Hadley[/name_u] [name_f]Amelia[/name_f]/[name_f]Emilia[/name_f], or [name_u]Hadley[/name_u] [name_f]Caroline[/name_f]/[name_f]Corinne[/name_f]…
[name_u]Hadley[/name_u] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] came to mind when I saw the title of the thread. Simple, maybe considered an older name, but I still think it sounds pretty.
Because [name_u]Hadley[/name_u] is such a new name, I think something classic would be great in the middle:
[name_u]Hadley[/name_u] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f]
[name_u]Hadley[/name_u] [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f]
[name_u]Hadley[/name_u] [name_f]Ann/name_f
[name_u]Hadley[/name_u] [name_f]Catherine[/name_f]
[name_u]Hadley[/name_u] [name_f]Jane[/name_f]
Of your top 3, I like [name_u]Hadley[/name_u] [name_f]Nicole[/name_f] the best because of the generational connection.
I love [name_u]Hadley[/name_u] [name_f]Claire[/name_f]! But I would also suggest [name_u]Hadley[/name_u] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] or [name_u]Hadley[/name_u] [name_f]Michelle[/name_f] or [name_u]Hadley[/name_u] [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f]! I hope I help!
[name_u]Hadley[/name_u] [name_f]Claire[/name_f] from your list getsvmy vote and [name_u]Hadley[/name_u] [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] also instantly came to mind.
[name_f]My[/name_f] baby girl’s name is [name_u]Hadley[/name_u] [name_f]Annette[/name_f]. [name_f]Annette[/name_f] is a family. I can’t even remember the other middle names we were considering since [name_f]Annette[/name_f] was so perfect. [name_u]Hadley[/name_u] is a great name and I am happy to see another berry use it
I really like [name_u]Hadley[/name_u]. From your list I like [name_u]Hadley[/name_u] [name_f]Nicole[/name_f] because it’s a family name. [name_f]My[/name_f] favorite [name_u]Hadley[/name_u] combinations are:

[name_u]Hadley[/name_u] [name_f]Grace[/name_f]
