Middle name for my niece due in Nov!

Girl Names
1

My little sister is due with my niece in [name_u]November[/name_u] and her and her husband can not agree on a middle name!

Her first name will be [name_f]Madeline[/name_f] (prn. with “line” ending not “lyn”) and last name sounds like [name_u]Van[/name_u]-[name_m]Dan[/name_m]-Hook.

My sister likes [name_f]Grace[/name_f] and her husband likes [name_f]Emma[/name_f] but neither likes the others choices. They somewhat agree on [name_f]Audrey[/name_f] but neither loves it.

They would like a name somewhat classic rather than trendy. Preferably 1 or 2 syllables due to the 3 syllable first and last name. Anyone have any suggestions?! [name_f]TIA[/name_f]!

I love the suggestion of [name_f]Madeline[/name_f] [name_f]Lucille[/name_f]! Thank you for the amazing ideas!

I also agree they should use [name_f]Audrey[/name_f]! However she seems to think there may be a better option out there. She actually loves the name [name_f]Lucy[/name_f] however already has a niece on her husbands side with the name :frowning:

Thank you for your suggestions! I like [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] too :slight_smile:
My daughters middle name is actually [name_f]Elise[/name_f] and her cat is [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] lol! She also has a niece on her husbands side named [name_f]Alice[/name_f], clearly all great name choices!

I guess I should have mentioned my daughters middle name is [name_f]Elise[/name_f] and our niece (from our brother) is [name_f]Hannah[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] lol!
[name_f]Isla[/name_f] is one of my very favourite names though :slight_smile:

I love the suggestion of [name_f]Lucille[/name_f] for her! She has a niece on her husbands side named [name_f]Lucy[/name_f] and she loves the name, so [name_f]Lucille[/name_f] might be a more classic alternative! Thank you for all your great suggestions :slight_smile:

[name_f]Madeline[/name_f] [name_f]Amelie[/name_f]
[name_f]Madeline[/name_f] [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f]
[name_f]Madeline[/name_f] [name_f]Felicity[/name_f]
[name_f]Madeline[/name_f] [name_f]Penelope[/name_f]
[name_f]Madeline[/name_f] [name_f]Delphine[/name_f]
[name_f]Madeline[/name_f] [name_f]Louise[/name_f]
[name_f]Madeline[/name_f] [name_f]Winifred[/name_f]
[name_f]Madeline[/name_f] [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f]

I know some of these are 3-3-3 but I think depending on how the cadence hits it’s actually a really nice sound with the last name.

To the OP: I approved your blocked post, although you mentioned something similar in a later one.

13

I know it’s three syllables, but what about combining their favorites into [name_f]Emma[/name_f]-grace? [name_f]Madeline[/name_f] [name_f]Emma[/name_f]-grace?

14

I was wondering why it didn’t show up!
I ended up replying again and then I had 2 responses to the same person lol, so I think I just successfully deleted one :wink: thanks for letting me know though!

[name_f]Madeline[/name_f] [name_f]Maeve[/name_f].

16

since they each like a different name, why not hyphenate: [name_f]Madeline[/name_f] [name_f]Emma[/name_f]-[name_f]Grace[/name_f]? This way they both get the middle name the like.
