Middle name for Miriam

meso · December 27, 2012, 11:41am

We’ve finally decided on [name]Miriam[/name] for our baby girl, due in 3 weeks! We love it, it feels right and are so happy to finally call her something other than " baby girl." So now we need a middle, our last name is pretty long and begins with an S, so we’d like to keep the middle 2 syllables or fewer, something young, girly, fresh, to balance out the maturity of [name]Miriam[/name]. Any ideas out there? Thanks ladies!

First thing that came to my mind was [name]Ree[/name] or [name]Reese[/name], something like that.

[name]Miriam[/name] [name]Molly[/name] popped into my head first. M&Ms (cause her initials would be MMS) would be an adorable nick name. [name]Miriam[/name] [name]Madeline[/name] could do the same thing and is awfully cute.

[name]How[/name] about:

[name]Miriam[/name] [name]Odette[/name]!
[name]Miriam[/name] [name]Elise[/name]
[name]Miriam[/name] [name]Margo[/name] ( another M&M)
[name]Miriam[/name] [name]Beth[/name]
[name]Miriam[/name] [name]Ruby[/name]
[name]Miriam[/name] [name]Olive[/name]
[name]Miriam[/name] [name]Hazel[/name]
[name]Miriam[/name] [name]Aria[/name]
[name]Miriam[/name] [name]Nanette[/name]

I like [name]Reese[/name] and [name]Elise[/name] but the s ending runs into the s beginning of our last name. In fact our last name has an s in two places, so any more might sound snakey

I know a [name]Miriam[/name] [name]Simone[/name], but that won’t really work in your case (double S).
I like pairing [name]Miriam[/name] with a middle name that ends with an “L” sound, esp. an “eel” or “lee”.

[name]Miriam[/name] [name]Lee[/name]/[name]Leigh[/name]
[name]Miriam[/name] [name]Natalie[/name]
[name]Miriam[/name] [name]Ashley[/name]
[name]Miriam[/name] [name]Mathilde[/name]
[name]Miriam[/name] [name]Laurel[/name]
[name]Miriam[/name] [name]Elle[/name]
[name]Miriam[/name] [name]Avril[/name] (perhaps pronounced Av-reel)
[name]Miriam[/name] [name]Amelie[/name]/[name]Emelie[/name]
[name]Miriam[/name] [name]Chelsea[/name]
[name]Miriam[/name] [name]Kaylie[/name]
[name]Miriam[/name] [name]Molly[/name]
[name]Miriam[/name] [name]Maelie[/name]
[name]Miriam[/name] [name]Lily[/name]

Our daughter is [name_f]Miriam[/name_f] [name_u]Jean[/name_u]. Her grandmother was [name_f]Miriam[/name_f] [name_f]Joan[/name_f]. MJ is a possible nickname with these initials, though we never seem to use it.
