Middle Name to go with Elodie

Girl Names
1

I am in due in 2 weeks. I think my DH and I just decided on our girl name (hooray!) - [name_f]Elodie[/name_f]. However, we have absolutely no idea for a middle name. We are thinking it would be nice to have a name that means ‘gift’ in the middle but are not limiting our choice to that. We already have a daughter named [name_f]Cleo[/name_f] [name_f]Salome[/name_f].
All suggestions welcome!

Oh, our last name starts and ends with ‘S’ and so I guess I just don’t want the middle name to make it all sound like too much s (or lisp-y), if that makes sense.

Thanks so much for your help…now back to searching for our boy name!

Perhaps [name_f]Elodie[/name_f] [name_f]Gia[/name_f] ([name_f]Gia[/name_f] is my own name; it means God’s [name_f]Gracious[/name_f] Gift, so maybe that could work?)
I feel a bit weird suggesting my own name though! :slight_smile:

[name_f]Elodie[/name_f] [name_f]Maeve[/name_f]
[name_f]Elodie[/name_f] [name_f]Stella[/name_f]

My favorite [name_f]Elodie[/name_f] combo right now is [name_f]Elodie[/name_f] [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] (which I think is gorgeous!). There’s another member on here who has [name_f]Elodie[/name_f] [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] Sanan on her list, and I have grown to adore it. My last car I’d named [name_f]Elodie[/name_f], actually ([name_f]Elodie[/name_f] [name_f]Claire[/name_f] nn Liddy), and I still like that combo, even though she was a total nightmare of a car. :wink:

What about:

[name_f]Elodie[/name_f] [name_f]Dorothea[/name_f]
[name_f]Elodie[/name_f] [name_f]Theodora[/name_f]
[name_f]Elodie[/name_f] [name_f]Mattea[/name_f]
[name_f]Elodie[/name_f] [name_f]Georgiana[/name_f]
[name_f]Elodie[/name_f] [name_f]Philippa[/name_f]
[name_f]Elodie[/name_f] [name_f]Felicity[/name_f]
[name_f]Elodie[/name_f] [name_f]Vera[/name_f]
[name_f]Elodie[/name_f] [name_f]Noelle[/name_f]
[name_f]Elodie[/name_f] [name_f]Pearl[/name_f]

Good luck!
