I am expecting my first baby at the beginning of [name_u]June[/name_u] and my partner and I have finally agreed on our shortlist! My partner isn’t fussed about middle names, and is giving me full reign. I plan on using two middle names, and I have a list of names I’d like to use, but nothing feels right so far. [name_m]Just[/name_m] looking for some opinions/combos from our list, and am open to suggestions!
If it’s a girl, her name will be one of these three:
[name_f]Clementine[/name_f] “[name_f]Cleo[/name_f]”
[name_f]Persephone[/name_f] “[name_f]Effy[/name_f]”
[name_f]Cordelia[/name_f] “[name_f]Cora[/name_f]”
Names I’d love to use in the middle:
[name_f]Hermione[/name_f]
[name_f]Antigone[/name_f]
[name_f]Ottilie[/name_f]
[name_f]Ophelia[/name_f]
[name_f]Octavia[/name_f]
[name_f]Florence[/name_f]
[name_f]Harriet[/name_f]
[name_f]Olive[/name_f]
[name_f]Beatrice[/name_f]/[name_f]Beatrix[/name_f]
[name_f]Araminta[/name_f]
[name_f]Drusilla[/name_f]
[name_f]Irene[/name_f]
[name_f]Isadora[/name_f]
[name_f]Orla[/name_f]
[name_f]Sibyl[/name_f]
[name_f]Temperance[/name_f]
The surname is three syllables and begins with [name_m]Cos[/name_m]- and ends in -lo.
All three of your first names are absolutely gorgeous! I love [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] and [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f], and the nicknames are adorable! From your middle name list, I really like [name_f]Hermione[/name_f], [name_f]Ottilie[/name_f], [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f], [name_f]Octavia[/name_f], [name_f]Florence[/name_f], [name_f]Olive[/name_f], [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f], [name_f]Araminta[/name_f], [name_f]Isadora[/name_f] and [name_f]Orla[/name_f]. [name_m]How[/name_m] about:
I have a list of names that sprang to mind when I read your list and have made them into combos. If you like them, that’s great, and if not that’s also okay! I just wanted to add them in just in case.
I like [name_f]Persephone[/name_f] best but think one of the C- names would sound amazing with your surname! I especially love the idea of [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] “[name_f]Cleo[/name_f]” [name_m]Cos[/name_m]——o!
I’d go with [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] [name_f]Sibyl[/name_f], [name_f]Orla[/name_f] or [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f].
[name_f]Persephone[/name_f] is one of my fave names but I prefer Sephie or [name_f]Posey[/name_f] as a nn. I prefer [name_f]Cleo[/name_f] or [name_f]Cora[/name_f] to [name_f]Effy[/name_f] so if [name_f]Effy[/name_f] I’d fixed, I personally would go with one of their long names. You have some excellent suggestions above but I wonder if one of the middle names might be a bit less fancy vintage? It would be so nice to have a [name_f]Kate[/name_f], [name_f]Anna[/name_f], [name_f]Jane[/name_f], [name_f]Lucy[/name_f] or [name_f]Mary[/name_f] in there paired up as a middle along with one of your curlier middle names.
