So I’ve put [name]Quinn[/name] back as my front runner for another daughter…but I’m really struggling with a middle name to go with it. My other two daughters have longer first names wiith one syllable middle names; but with [name]Quinn[/name] being one syllable my mn front runner from before is out ([name]Claire[/name]…[name]Quinn[/name] [name]Claire[/name] is too choppy for me).
I do tend to like “unisex” names…but I’m not opposed to girly names. The super frilly is not for me though. I don’t want it to end with an N ([name]Quinn[/name] and the surname both end in N). The surname also begins with an L so I’m trying to avoid anything too L heavy also.
Combos I’ve considered but just aren’t doing it for me:
[name]Quinn[/name] [name]Alexandra[/name]–This is my favorite but a friend of mine used [name]Alexandra[/name] for his daughters mn and my nephew has the mn [name]Alexander[/name]. Sigh
[name]Quinn[/name] [name]Michaela[/name]–Too Dr. [name]Quinn[/name] Medicine woman…
[name]Quinn[/name] [name]Alyssa[/name]–[name]Alyssa[/name] is the name of my SO’s favorite cousin, she passed away when they were 12. I love the sentiment but the combo just isn’t doing it for me.
[name]Quinn[/name] [name]Amelia[/name]–SO is not on board with [name]Amelia[/name].
[name]Quinn[/name] [name]Allison[/name]–the N thing
I love [name]Quinn[/name] for a girl (Dh vetoed it though). Can’t remember any MNs I had to go with it so these are off the cuff. I like it with a “girly” MN.
[name]Quinn[/name] [name]Camille[/name] or [name]Camilla[/name]
[name]Quinn[/name] [name]Alessandra[/name] (? Instead of [name]Alexandra[/name])
[name]Quinn[/name] [name]Clarice[/name] (not sure spelling on this one…as alternative to [name]Claire[/name])
[name]Quinn[/name] [name]Alexandra[/name] and [name]Quinn[/name] [name]Amelia[/name] are really pretty! I really like [name]Quinn[/name] [name]Alessandra[/name] and [name]Quinn[/name] [name]Juliet[/name] from the previous suggestions.
I wasn’t snobbing your suggestions in my other reply…I couldn’t see them while I was replying…lol.
[name]Juliet[/name] and [name]Arielle[/name] are nice but not for me. My 5 yo loves the [name]Little[/name] Mermaid and the movie Gnomeo and [name]Juliet[/name]. I can’t get past those.
I’m staying away from the [name]Alex[/name] names since my nephew has [name]Alexander[/name].
[name]Andrea[/name] will never fly with the SO (because of an association)…and [name]Eloise[/name] is just not a name I can get on board with.
[name]Love[/name] [name]Quinn[/name] [name]Charlotte[/name]…But I THINK so hated all over that name. I’ll have to check.
[name]Quinn[/name] [name]Alana[/name]-- [name]Lovely[/name] If its prn uh-[name]Lane[/name]-uh, but it is too similar to my other daughters name ([name]Delaney[/name])…uh-LAWN-uh doesn’t quite do it for me.
[name]Do[/name] you like [name]Quinn[/name] [name]Elysia[/name]? I think that combo would be nice, and it’s kind of close to [name]Quinn[/name] [name]Alyssa[/name] but with a better flow [name]IMO[/name]. And the meaning of [name]Elysia[/name] is great, too:)
[name]Quinn[/name] [name]Alice[/name] - punchy, touches on [name]Alyssa[/name] and [name]Allison[/name]?
[name]Quinn[/name] [name]Azalea[/name] - maybe too frilly, but [name]Alyssa[/name] is a flower, so is [name]Azalea[/name]
[name]Quinn[/name] Alyssum - just full out using the flower form of [name]Alyssa[/name]'s name
[name]Quinn[/name] [name]Alicia[/name] - same vein as [name]Alyssa[/name] and [name]Allison[/name]
[name]Quinn[/name] [name]Alexis[/name] - like [name]Alexandra[/name], but more uni and further from [name]Alexander[/name] (is it really a problem to have a mn for her related to her cousin’s?)
[name]Quinn[/name] [name]Aubrey[/name] - uni-ish
[name]Quinn[/name] [name]Audrey[/name] - classy
[name]Quinn[/name] [name]Aurora[/name] - probably to princessy? But pretty
[name]Quinn[/name] [name]Avery[/name] - uni-ish
I love [name]Quinn[/name] for a girl! My daughter is [name]Quinn[/name] [name]Elise[/name].
I struggled with her middle name too. Names that were associated with a [name]Queen[/name] were out of the question for me ([name]Mary[/name], [name]Elizabeth[/name], [name]Victoria[/name], etc.)
Because it is fairly unisex, I liked a feminine name paired with it. Because of the ‘n’ ending, I prefer middle names that start with a vowel. I think it sounds better.
I think a 3-syllable name with the accent on the 2nd syllable is the best flow. [name]Quinn[/name] [name]Alyssa[/name] does follow that rythm, but if you don’t like it, how about [name]Quinn[/name] [name]Alicia[/name]? [name]Francesca[/name], [name]Susannah[/name]?
I like the suggestions of:
[name]Quinn[/name] [name]Elysia[/name] (I think I prefer the spelling [name]Alysia[/name] though)
[name]Quinn[/name] [name]Francesca[/name] (If I can get SO on board)
[name]Quinn[/name] [name]Aurora[/name] (but my 7yos favorite is Sleeping Beauty…weird?)
[name]Quinn[/name] [name]Arianna[/name]—hmm. Lots of n’s…perhaps I’d spell it [name]Quinn[/name] [name]Ariana[/name].
