Middle name for Iseult and...

Girl Names

Hello Berries !

I’m hoping for any help. I’m hoping that you can suggest some middle names which go well with either [name_f]Iseult[/name_f] or Dearbhla which might help us decide which one we prefer. Being Irish, an Irish first name was a must for us, but we’re not fussed on the origin of middle/s. We’d also prefer two middle names but not a must. Some names we love would be [name_f]Sara[/name_f], [name_f]Agatha[/name_f], [name_f]Elspeth[/name_f], [name_f]Susan[/name_f], [name_f]Doris[/name_f], [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] and [name_f]Mary[/name_f]. Would love your own suggestions on middle/s !

Thank you a lot!

I have a strong preference for [name_f]Iseult[/name_f] over Dearbhla. That’s not because I don’t like the latter but I adore the former… And I think that it gives you pretty much carte blanche when it comes to middles. [name_f]Caoimhe[/name_f] works beautifully with [name_f]Iseult[/name_f] but I also like

[name_f]Maude[/name_f] (perhaps because of the Gonne women?!?)
[name_f]Zara[/name_f]
[name_f]Meriel[/name_f]
[name_f]Josephine[/name_f]
[name_f]Catherine[/name_f]
[name_f]Caroline[/name_f]
[name_f]Martha[/name_f]

Good luck! x

[name_f]Iseult[/name_f] [name_f]Apolline[/name_f] [name_f]Lenore[/name_f] and [name_f]Iseult[/name_f] [name_f]Geneva[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] are both beautiful!

Tillytally, I love [name_f]Catherine[/name_f] and [name_f]Caroline[/name_f], and the [name_f]Maude[/name_f] Gonne reference, what a great namesake

I’m a huge [name_u]Yeats[/name_u] fan and would have called this baby [name_f]Iseult[/name_f] or [name_f]Maude[/name_f] very, very happily because they’re great names but also because of the Gonnes influence on [name_u]Yeats[/name_u]’ poetry (it was the topic of my dissertation at university!) but my husband vetoed [name_f]Iseult[/name_f] and a few years ago my father called his boat [name_f]Maude[/name_f]. Because then he could say ‘[name_f]Maude[/name_f] is moored’. Thanks for that one, dad! Hoping to resurrect the [name_f]Iseult[/name_f]/[name_f]Isolde[/name_f] option with the next baby. Agree that [name_f]Iseult[/name_f] [name_f]Geneva[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] is a BEAUTIFUL combo…
