We are having our first baby due in [name_f]May[/name_f]. We have a boy’s full name picked out but we are struggling with a girl’s middle name.
The Girl will be named Carridwen __________ [name_f]Frances[/name_f] (pronounced [name_f]Kara[/name_f]-d-wen)
Some qualifications we have thought of, it needs to be unique, not in the top 100 list, spiritual sounding, as we are eclectic pagans. It also must flow to mellow out the first name. (we originally thought of the middle name [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f], but it’s not fitting anymore for our perspective daughter.) If that gives you any ideas of what we are looking for in a middle name.
I’m not entirely sure if these fit the spiritual box, but here’s some ideas on the not-top-100, ecclectic side…
Carridwen [name_u]Dagny[/name_u] [name_f]Frances[/name_f] - new day
