Having a hard time coming up for middle names for [name]Danielle[/name]. It’s hard finding something that flows with that and [name]Dani[/name], which we will be calling her. We mainly want to find one that flows with [name]Dani[/name], but goes well with [name]Danielle[/name] too. I’ve always loved the name [name]Dani[/name] for a girl and [name]Danielle[/name] is a classic name, which I love also. Ideas we have so far:
Other suggestions? [name]Feel[/name] free to suggest other first names too. We’re really liking classic older (& southern) names, but nothing like [name]Tallulah[/name], [name]Eleanor[/name], [name]Amelia[/name]. Something classic but kinda spunky like [name]Stella[/name], [name]Harper[/name], [name]Josie[/name], etc. thanks!
I don’t care for [name]Danielle[/name] [name]Pearl[/name], [name]Danielle[/name] [name]Jolene[/name], or [name]Danielle[/name] Lynae-- too many L sounds! Some other possibilities:
I like [name]Danielle[/name] [name]Blythe[/name]. Or [name]Danielle[/name] [name]Fern[/name]. [name]Danielle[/name] [name]Ruby[/name] is kind of spunky and cute too - [name]Ruby[/name] has a sort half old-fashioned, half a tiny bit naughty, saloon girl feel to me. As does [name]Roxy[/name], though that’s more nickname-ish. And [name]Danielle[/name] [name]Mae[/name] is adorable.
I do like [name]Rae[/name] and [name]Rue[/name], but maybe favour [name]Mae[/name] to [name]Rae[/name], though [name]Mae[/name] is a bit ‘sweet’ rather than ‘spunky.’
[name]Daniella[/name] seems a little softer to me than [name]Danielle[/name]. I don’t know if that’s too many syllables though?
[name]Danielle[/name] is a great name. But as a [name]Danielle[/name] myself, I would like to tell you my experience being a [name]Danielle[/name].
Growing up, my mom never gave me a nickname and refused to call me by my middle name (or even a short form of my middle name), [name]Elizabeth[/name]. I got minimal teasing for my name. Being that it was the feminization of [name]Daniel[/name]. For some time I hated it and wanted a prettier sounding name. And even worse was having a beautiful, feminine middle name that I loved and one that my mom didn’t want to call me by. Over the years, I tried to warm up to [name]Dani[/name] but I cringed whenever I heard it. I only allow it when my friends call me by that name. And I personally despise how people write it down. [name]Dani[/name], [name]Danie[/name], [name]Danni[/name], [name]Dannie[/name]. I see no need to try and feminize it. [name]Danny[/name] is preferable (imo). But I am known to all as [name]Dan[/name] these days, thanks to my best friend since middle school who, upon meeting, instantly started calling me [name]Dan[/name].
My name, [name]Danielle[/name] [name]Elizabeth[/name] is a good example of what you’re aiming for. You could shorten it to [name]Dani[/name] [name]Beth[/name]. Sorry I’m not much help there but I hope I gave some insight.
I just thought about [name]Danielle[/name] [name]Lynn[/name]. [name]Dani[/name] [name]Lynn[/name]. I know [name]Anna[/name] [name]Nicole[/name]'s baby girl is named [name]Dannielynn[/name], but I think it flows well.
I am such a sucker for the name [name]Jolene[/name]. You could name [name]Danielle[/name] [name]Jolene[/name] and call her [name]Dani[/name] [name]Jo[/name]. (You could also name her [name]Jolene[/name], unless you’ve vetoed that. But my god, it’s such a name!)
Hmmm, I’m a [name_f]Danielle[/name_f] and my middle is [name_f]Renee[/name_f]. I also like [name_u]Simone[/name_u] and [name_f]Marguerite[/name_f]. Short names like [name_f]Kate[/name_f] sound nice with [name_f]Danielle[/name_f] as well:)
I don’t know if this would be any help but my bby girl is called [name_f]Danielle[/name_f] [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f] [name_f]Ariana[/name_f]. Which shortens down to dani-[name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_u]Ari[/name_u].
Congrats!
