🐚 Middle Name Ideas

I’ve been drawn to using [name_f]Ann[/name_f] as part of a middle name in place of [name_f]Annika[/name_f] as a first name lately. Now I need a bit of help. Here are those I’m looking to honor with both male and female combos. I want to use first names that are their own, so I’m only focusing on middle names right now. Although I’m hoping for four kids, with the late start I’m getting, I may only have two. If you could help me come up with names that honor the following people, I’ll be thrilled and grateful.

Note: I’m trying to make those people I’m honouring difficult to search via Google or any other search engine, so please respect this. Individual names (i.e. Lee) are fine to be written regularly, but combos (i.e. π’Ÿπ‘œπ“ƒπ’Άπ“π’Ή 𝐿𝑒𝑒) I am requesting to have privacy symbols of some sort.


Must honour:

  • π’Ÿπ‘œπ“ƒπ’Άπ“π’Ή 𝐿𝑒𝑒 β†’ π’Ÿπ‘œπ“ƒ β†’ my [name_f]Papa[/name_f] and the top person on my list to honour; I’d like to use [name_u]Lee[/name_u] as that is my middle name in honour of him who was given the name in honour of his grandma (only 3 people have the name in the family)
  • π’Ÿπ‘œπ“‡π‘œπ“‰π’½π“Ž π’œπ“ƒπ“ƒ β†’ π’Ÿπ‘œπ“‡π‘œπ“‰π’½π“Ž β†’ my great-grandma
  • 𝑀𝒢𝓇𝒸𝑒𝓁𝓁𝒢 𝑀𝒢𝓇𝓉𝒽𝒢 β†’ 𝑀𝒢𝓇𝒸𝑒𝓁𝓁𝒢 β†’ my surrogate grandma
  • 𝒫𝒢𝓂𝑒𝓁𝒢 π’¦π’Άπ“Ž β†’ 𝒫𝒢𝓂 β†’ my step-mom-in-reverse; this honour name needs to be inconspicuous for my older brother’s sake (i.e. [name_u]Kai[/name_u] would be alright, but [name_u]Kay[/name_u] would not)

I’m though of the following single and double middles:

  • π’Ÿπ‘œπ“ƒπ’Άπ“π’Ή 𝐿𝑒𝑒 & π’Ÿπ‘œπ“‡π‘œπ“‰π’½π“Ž π’œπ“ƒπ“ƒ
    :girl:t2: [name_u]Lee[/name_u] [name_f]Ann[/name_f], LeeAnn

  • π’Ÿπ‘œπ“ƒπ’Άπ“π’Ή 𝐿𝑒𝑒 & 𝒫𝒢𝓂𝑒𝓁𝒢 π’¦π’Άπ“Ž
    :girl:t2: [name_u]Lee[/name_u] [name_u]Kai[/name_u]
    :boy:t2: [name_u]Lee[/name_u] [name_u]Kai[/name_u]

  • 𝑀𝒢𝓇𝒸𝑒𝓁𝓁𝒢 𝑀𝒢𝓇𝓉𝒽𝒢 & 𝒫𝒢𝓂𝑒𝓁𝒢 π’¦π’Άπ“Ž
    :girl:t2: [name_f]Mattea[/name_f] [name_u]Kai[/name_u], [name_u]Mar[/name_u] [name_u]Kai[/name_u], Markai
    :boy:t2: [name_u]Mar[/name_u] [name_u]Kai[/name_u], [name_u]Mars[/name_u] [name_u]Kai[/name_u], [name_m]Matthew[/name_m] [name_u]Kai[/name_u], [name_m]Matteo[/name_m] [name_u]Kai[/name_u], Markai

  • 𝑀𝒢𝓇𝒸𝑒𝓁𝓁𝒢 𝑀𝒢𝓇𝓉𝒽𝒢 & π’Ÿπ‘œπ“ƒπ’Άπ“π’Ή 𝐿𝑒𝑒
    :girl:t2: [name_f]Mattea[/name_f] [name_u]Lee[/name_u], Mattlee, Matlee (*Note: I do not like [name_f]Marlee[/name_f] with any spelling, so please don’t suggest it)
    :boy:t2: [name_m]Matthew[/name_m] [name_u]Lee[/name_u], [name_m]Matteo[/name_m] [name_u]Lee[/name_u], Mattlee, Matlee (*Note: I do not like [name_f]Marlee[/name_f] with any spelling, so please don’t suggest it)


For those wondering, I’m up in the air about honouring at the moment, but would only do so if I have more than two kids:

  • π’žπ’½π“‡π’Ύπ“ˆπ“‰π‘œπ“…π’½π‘’π“‡ π’₯π’Άπ“‚π‘’π“ˆ β†’ π’žπ’½π“‡π’Ύπ“ˆ β†’ older brother
  • π‘…π‘œπ’·π‘’π“‡π“‰ π’₯π’Άπ“‚π‘’π“ˆ β†’ π‘…π‘œπ’· β†’ younger brother
  • 𝐡𝒢𝓇𝒷𝒢𝓇𝒢 π’₯𝑒𝒢𝓃𝓃𝑒 β†’ 𝐡𝒢𝓇𝒷 β†’ mom

For these, I’d probably go with:

  • :girl:t2: [name_f]Jane[/name_f] / [name_f]Jayne[/name_f]
  • :boy:t2: unknown

Note 1: 0rΙ›stinα΄€ is still an option, but I want to consider it separately from π’žπ’½π“‡π’Ύπ“ˆ & π‘…π‘œπ’· as I love it so much and don’t want to diminish it in my own eyes in the event I choose not to honour them.

Note 2: Please do not suggest using their last name as it has negative connotations for me. I will not use it or [name_u]James[/name_u] due to their association with someone I can’t stand and never want to honour (π’₯π’Άπ“‚π‘’π“ˆ πΉπ“‡π’Άπ“ƒπ’Έπ’Ύπ“ˆ β†’ π’₯𝒾𝓂).



Note A: [name_f]My[/name_f] top name combos are still in high consideration, but I’ve been thinking about things differently lately and want to look at combos a bit differently than I have in the past.

Note B: For those that don’t know me well on here, while I’m hoping to find someone to spend my life with (and have a family with), I may end up having a family on my own. While I acknowledge my name choices will change if I am naming kids with someone, I am trying to figure out names for my future kids if I am on my own when I name them. And no, my family members I have choose not to be there to bounce ideas off of or anything else besides spending time with and spoiling them.
