Middle Name for Paige- Astrid or Moira

appalachianpidge · July 25, 2016, 9:20am

I’ve been narrowing down my middle name choices and I think I have the two winners- [name_f]Moira[/name_f] and [name_f]Astrid[/name_f]

They are a bit unusual but I like that since I don’t associate them with any other person I know and they both seem like strong yet still slightly feminine names.

[name_f]Moira[/name_f] means fate or destiny and I would pronounce it like MOR-[name_m]AH[/name_m] not MOY-RAH. Its also the middle name of [name_f]Wendy[/name_f] from [name_m]Peter[/name_m] [name_m]Pan[/name_m].

[name_f]Astrid[/name_f] is Scandinavian and I have quite a bit of Scandinavian background. This name means godly strength or divinely beautiful.

So we are looking at [name_f]Paige[/name_f] [name_f]Moira[/name_f] or [name_f]Paige[/name_f] [name_f]Astrid[/name_f]. Last name starts with an “E”

[name_f]Paige[/name_f] [name_f]Moira[/name_f] for me as well :).

I like both names a lot, but for me [name_f]Paige[/name_f] [name_f]Astrid[/name_f] E___ flows a bit better!

I definitely prefer [name_f]Paige[/name_f] [name_f]Moira[/name_f], but if you are going to not pronounce the “i”, maybe change the spelling to [name_f]Mora[/name_f] or Morah to avoid that pronunciation.

[name_f]Paige[/name_f] [name_f]Astrid[/name_f] has a better flow.

I would drop [name_f]Paige[/name_f] and use the beautiful [name_f]Moira[/name_f]. [name_f]Moira[/name_f] [name_f]Astrid[/name_f] or [name_f]Moira[/name_f] [name_f]Paige[/name_f] would work.

[name_f]Paige[/name_f] [name_f]Moira[/name_f] is so beautiful! Highly recommend! [name_f]Paige[/name_f] [name_f]Astrid[/name_f] sounds a bit harsh to my ears.

I prefer [name_f]Astrid[/name_f] to [name_f]Moira[/name_f].

I don’t really like the name [name_f]Moira[/name_f].
[name_f]Astrid[/name_f] is a nice name.

I also prefer [name_f]Astrid[/name_f] to [name_f]Moira[/name_f], so would vote for [name_u]Page[/name_u] [name_f]Astrid[/name_f].

_teenberry · July 26, 2016, 10:26pm

I feel more for [name_u]Page[/name_u] [name_f]Astrid[/name_f] as it flows better.

I appreciate [name_f]Astrid[/name_f] and [name_f]Moira[/name_f] and prefer them to [name_f]Paige[/name_f]. Either seems to work as a middle.
