Middle name for Zinnia?

Girl Names
1

Considering using [name_f]Zinnia[/name_f] as a first name but absolutely stuck about what to put in the middle. Last name is common, one syllable, and begins with a K. Looking for something that:

  • Has no more more than 2 syllables
  • is not another word, plant, animal etc. name
  • Doesn’t end in ‘a’
    We were almost dead-set on [name_u]Phoenix[/name_u] as the middle name (I was adopted from [name_u]Phoenix[/name_u] AZ and we wanted to commemorate those roots in our new family) but I worry that it’s too many word names with the first and our last.
    Any suggestions? Thank you!

I don’t think [name_f]Zinnia[/name_f] [name_u]Phoenix[/name_u] is too many word names. I think [name_f]Zinnia[/name_f] isn’t a name that most people would recognize as a word. I think it works!

4

I’m in agreement that [name_f]Zinnia[/name_f] [name_u]Phoenix[/name_u] isn’t too many word names and that many people probably wouldn’t register [name_f]Zinnia[/name_f] as a word. I think it’s lovely and that you should totally go for it!

I generally wouldn’t be a huge fan of [name_u]Phoenix[/name_u] on a girl, but I love the tie for you! And [name_f]Zinnia[/name_f] [name_u]Phoenix[/name_u] almost seems like a FN with a mother’s maiden name for a middle or something along those lines. I think [name_f]Zinnia[/name_f] [name_u]Phoenix[/name_u] is brilliant. I love it.

However, if you’re not convinced, what about:

[name_f]Zinnia[/name_f] [name_f]Eve[/name_f]
[name_f]Zinnia[/name_f] [name_f]Gabrielle[/name_f] (I know it’s more syllables than you want, but it’s adorable!)

[name_f]Zinnia[/name_f] [name_f]Noelle[/name_f]

[name_f]Zinnia[/name_f] [name_f]Tess[/name_f]
[name_f]Zinnia[/name_f] [name_f]Fleur[/name_f]
[name_f]Zinnia[/name_f] [name_u]Harper[/name_u]
[name_f]Zinnia[/name_f] [name_u]Wynne[/name_u]
[name_f]Zinnia[/name_f] [name_f]Louise[/name_f]

(I love [name_f]Zinnia[/name_f], by the way!)

Good luck!

What do you all think about [name_f]Zinnia[/name_f] [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f]? It’s a lot like [name_u]Phoenix[/name_u], but more feminine and not a word name. Alternatively, hubby and I thought of [name_f]Zanna[/name_f] [name_u]Phoenix[/name_u]. What do you think?

[name_m]Can[/name_m] I toss my variation into the mix? I’m also planning on using the name [name_f]Zinnia[/name_f] and am in search of middle name that isn’t another flower/nature/word name, just one or two syllables and doesn’t end in an ie or y. I’ve read through the previous suggestions but haven’t found one I love! Here are some I’ve been pondering but none feel 100% right.

[name_f]Zinnia[/name_f] [name_u]Zoe[/name_u] (Zoh not Zoh-ee)
[name_f]Zinnia[/name_f] [name_u]Lou[/name_u]
[name_f]Zinnia[/name_f] [name_f]Elyse[/name_f]
[name_f]Zinnia[/name_f] [name_u]Reese[/name_u]
[name_f]Zinnia[/name_f] [name_u]Layne[/name_u] (bordering on a word-name)
[name_f]Zinnia[/name_f] [name_f]Iris[/name_f] or [name_f]Zinnia[/name_f] [name_u]Skye[/name_u] (just lean into the nature names)
[name_f]Zinnia[/name_f] [name_u]James[/name_u]
[name_f]Zinnia[/name_f] [name_u]Flynn[/name_u]
[name_f]Zinnia[/name_f] [name_u]Noa[/name_u]
[name_f]Zinnia[/name_f] [name_f]Lucille[/name_f] (family name)
[name_f]Zinnia[/name_f] [name_u]Quinn[/name_u]
