Middle Name for Meadow

General Name Discussion
1

My husband and I both like the name [name]Meadow[/name], shocking because he’s been very picky about girls names.
Problem is: I can’t come up with a middle name that doesn’t turn it totally hippy. Suggestions?

I think you need a distinctly feminine, non-word name to complete [name]Meadow[/name]. Best not to pick one that starts with an O… And I think that names with the emphasis on the 2nd syllable sound best for some reason (most of my suggestions fell into that pattern anyway).

[name]Meadow[/name] [name]Cecilia[/name]
[name]Meadow[/name] [name]Paloma[/name]
[name]Meadow[/name] [name]Eliza[/name]
[name]Meadow[/name] [name]Louisa[/name]
[name]Meadow[/name] [name]Kathleen[/name]
[name]Meadow[/name] [name]Sabina[/name]
[name]Meadow[/name] [name]Juliet[/name]
[name]Meadow[/name] [name]Matilda[/name] (if you don’t mind alliteration)
[name]Meadow[/name] [name]Lavinia[/name]
[name]Meadow[/name] [name]Hermione[/name]
[name]Meadow[/name] [name]Ramona[/name]
[name]Meadow[/name] [name]Anneliese[/name]

My first thought was also [name]Meadow[/name] [name]Claire[/name]. To my ear, a name with the stress placed on the second or last syllable sounds best:

[name]Meadow[/name] [name]Simone[/name]
[name]Meadow[/name] [name]Cecile[/name]
[name]Meadow[/name] [name]Helene[/name] (pronounced hel - lean)
[name]Meadow[/name] [name]Allegra[/name]
[name]Meadow[/name] [name]Justine[/name] – just saw that cristabel recommended this too. I love this name and if we both came up with it on our own there must be something to it!

I would stay away from color names ([name]Scarlett[/name]), flower and tree names ([name]Rose[/name] or [name]Juniper[/name]), place names ([name]London[/name]), verb names ([name]Harper[/name]). I would also stay away from alliteration which makes it sound like a brand name ([name]Meadow[/name] [name]Margaret[/name] or the suggestion of [name]Meadow[/name] [name]Mathilda[/name]).
