So about a month ago, I asked for help in selecting middle names for a baby girl. [name_f]My[/name_f] top names were [name_u]Brooklyn[/name_u], [name_f]Siena[/name_f] and [name_f]Isla[/name_f]. Now, I need some input on using [name_f]Melissa[/name_f] as a middle name.
Yesterday I learned that my best friend, [name_f]Melissa[/name_f], died very suddenly last week in a freak accident. She was a fun, positive, outgoing, and loving person who would give you the clothes off her back. She was spunky, and had a zest for life.
Id like to name my future daughter with [name_f]Melissa[/name_f] as a middle name to honor my friend. I’m not sure what names will go good. All ideas are welcome!
I’m so sorry to hear about your friend. Using [name_f]Melissa[/name_f] in tribute to her is a lovely idea. [name_f]Melissa[/name_f] means “honeybee” so you could also use [name_f]Bee[/name_f] as a middle name if you find that easier to work with.
So sorry to hear about your friend. No time is a good time to lose someone but it’s especially hard to grieve for someone right now when most of us are feeling isolated already. I think [name_f]Melissa[/name_f] will make a great middle name.
Suggestions:
I think your original top names will work…
[name_u]Brooklyn[/name_u] [name_f]Melissa[/name_f]
[name_f]Siena[/name_f] [name_f]Melissa[/name_f]
[name_f]Isla[/name_f] [name_f]Melissa[/name_f] - I like this combo!
[name_f]Livia[/name_f] [name_f]Melissa[/name_f]
[name_f]Amber[/name_f] [name_f]Melissa[/name_f]
[name_u]Harper[/name_u] [name_f]Melissa[/name_f]
[name_u]Aubrey[/name_u] [name_f]Melissa[/name_f]
[name_u]Vivian[/name_u] [name_f]Melissa[/name_f]
[name_u]Evelyn[/name_u] [name_f]Melissa[/name_f]
So sorry for your loss. Must be a terrible shock for you. [name_f]Hope[/name_f] you are keeping well and looking after yourself.
I think Isla, Siena or Brooklyn works well if you want to use Melissa as a middle name.
Some other ideas I’ve had…
Names with nice meanings:
[name_f]Renee[/name_f] [name_f]Melissa[/name_f] (means reborn)
[name_f]Eva[/name_f] [name_f]Melissa[/name_f] (means life)
[name_f]Beatrice[/name_f]/Beatrix [name_f]Melissa[/name_f] (means “she who brings happiness,” which I thought of when you were describing your friend)
[name_f]Bonnie[/name_f] [name_f]Melissa[/name_f] (means beautiful and cheerful)
Thank you everyone for recommending all these beautiful names. I feel like talking about her keeps her alive. She was only 30, and while she was alive, she taught me so much.
I’m so sorry to hear about the loss of [name_f]Melissa[/name_f]
Names like [name_u]Brooklyn[/name_u], [name_f]Siena[/name_f] and [name_f]Isla[/name_f] that fit with [name_f]Melissa[/name_f] in the middle (please consider repeats seconded)…
