We love the name [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] for our baby girl but having a hard time figuring out middle name, we would like it to be somewhat meaningful but all of our potential meaningful names are two syllable and worried this doesn’t flow with our two syllable last name (2-2-2 rule?)
Some middle names we like would be: [name_f]Luna[/name_f], [name_u]Penny[/name_u], [name_f]Capri[/name_f]. But not sure how that flows with [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] and a two syllable last name.
Any other suggestions of a middle name for [name_f]Ivy[/name_f]?
Also, if we used [name_f]Luna[/name_f] as first name instead do you find that to childish and doesn’t age well?
Thank you in advance!
ivy eloise?
i don’t think luna is too childish, its also quite popular so your daughter wouldn’t be the only adult called luna, which might make you feel better about it?

I think 2-2-2 depends on your surname. I don’t find [name_f]Luna[/name_f] childish at all. And it’s trendy so when [name_f]Luna[/name_f] is older, there will be plenty of other adult Lunas.

With [name_f]Luna[/name_f] at number 16 right now, I think it’s a name that will age with its wearers. There’ll be [name_f]Luna[/name_f]'s with all types of personalities, doing all types of jobs etc.

I love [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] [name_f]Eloise[/name_f], too! [name_f]My[/name_f] top [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] middles have always been [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] [name_f]Katharine[/name_f], [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] [name_f]Adeline[/name_f], and [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f]. I feel it’s just pretty with a long, feminine, and sometimes classic middle name, but I also like [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] [name_u]Blair[/name_u] and [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] [name_f]Maeve[/name_f].

Ivy is lovely! [name_f]My[/name_f] favorite of your options is [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] [name_f]Luna[/name_f]; [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] with an “ee” ending middle sounds a tiny bit rhyme-y/repetitive to me. Not in a dealbreaker kind of way, but I do notice it. [name_f]My[/name_f] only hesitation is that [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] [name_f]Luna[/name_f] feels maybe a little bit word-y?
I definitely think [name_f]Luna[/name_f] works as a first name; I don’t find it childish at all. I personally prefer [name_f]Ivy[/name_f], but they’re both really sweet. I also adore [name_f]Lucy[/name_f], which kind of mixes [name_f]Luna[/name_f] and [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] together!
In terms of other middle name options, I’m not sure what to suggest, because I love the idea of using something that’s meaningful to you. On the off chance that [name_u]Penny[/name_u] is for a [name_f]Penelope[/name_f], I think [name_f]Nell[/name_f] would be perfect–[name_f]Ivy[/name_f] [name_f]Nell[/name_f] makes such a great combo. Beyond that, I think [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] flows with pretty much anything that doesn’t end in “ee” or have too many “v” sounds; I wouldn’t worry about the two-syllable thing personally!
