We just found out we’re expecting a girl! [name_f]Grace[/name_f] is the first name we’ve decided on, and I’d love some input for her middle name. Our last name is one syllable with a prominent “ay” sound, so I’m thinking at least 2 or 3 syllables. Oh, and her brother’s name is [name_m]William[/name_m] [name_u]Michael[/name_u].
To give you an idea of what we like…
Hubby loves [name_f]Grace[/name_f] [name_f]Marie[/name_f], I do too other than length.
I love [name_f]Grace[/name_f] [name_f]Amelia[/name_f], hubby hates it.
[name_f]Grace[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] is beautiful, but I have a sister [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] and wouldn’t want to create jealousy for other close family members!
[name_f]Grace[/name_f] [name_f]Alexandra[/name_f]
[name_f]Grace[/name_f] [name_f]Annabeth[/name_f]
[name_f]Grace[/name_f] [name_f]Miranda[/name_f]
[name_f]Grace[/name_f] [name_f]Liliana[/name_f]
[name_f]Grace[/name_f] [name_f]Eliana[/name_f]
[name_f]Grace[/name_f] [name_f]Marina[/name_f]
[name_f]Grace[/name_f] [name_f]Emilia[/name_f] (maybe your husband would be more drawn to this spelling?)
Instead of [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] what about [name_f]Grace[/name_f] [name_f]Eliza[/name_f] and [name_f]Grace[/name_f] [name_f]Marina[/name_f] instead of [name_f]Marie[/name_f]?
I [name_u]LOVE[/name_u] [name_f]Grace[/name_f]! I know most find it really popular, but I sort of wish I knew more. What a lovely name you have chosen! (Although I am incredibly biased; it was my grandmother’s MN and I would love to pass it down to a daughter, either as a FN or a middle.)
My combo is [name_f]Grace[/name_f] [name_f]Odilia[/name_f] [name_f]Lily[/name_f], which I’m over-the-moon for, but [name_f]Grace[/name_f] [name_f]Amelia[/name_f] is a [name_f]Grace[/name_f] combo I come back to again and again; she’s so incredibly lovely! Too bad your partner doesn’t love it. A few other ideas:
[name_f]Grace[/name_f] [name_f]Louise[/name_f]
[name_f]Grace[/name_f] [name_f]Olivia[/name_f] (has a very similar feel to [name_f]Grace[/name_f] [name_f]Amelia[/name_f] to me?)
[name_f]Grace[/name_f] [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f]
[name_f]Grace[/name_f] [name_f]Caroline[/name_f]
[name_f]Grace[/name_f] [name_f]Eliora[/name_f]
[name_f]Grace[/name_f] [name_f]Helena[/name_f]
[name_f]Grace[/name_f] [name_f]Cosima[/name_f]
[name_f]Grace[/name_f] [name_f]Iris[/name_f]
[name_f]Grace[/name_f] [name_f]Evelina[/name_f]
What about [name_f]Grace[/name_f] [name_f]Emily[/name_f]?
[name_f]Emily[/name_f], [name_f]Emilia[/name_f], [name_f]Elodie[/name_f], [name_f]Amalia[/name_f], [name_f]Amelie[/name_f] are all similar enough to [name_f]Amelia[/name_f] but sound softer [name_f]IMO[/name_f].
Thank you for all the lovely suggestions! After the first round of name eliminations, these are what is left:
[name_f]Grace[/name_f] [name_f]Rebekah[/name_f]
[name_f]Grace[/name_f] [name_f]Lydia[/name_f]
[name_f]Grace[/name_f] [name_f]Madeleine[/name_f]
[name_f]Grace[/name_f] [name_f]Marianne[/name_f]/[name_f]Marianna[/name_f]
[name_f]Grace[/name_f] [name_f]Mariella[/name_f]
[name_f]Grace[/name_f] [name_f]Sophia[/name_f]
After further rumination, I’ll probably end up posting again! Thanks for the help!
What a lovely name you have chosen! (Although I am incredibly biased; it was my grandmother’s MN and I would love to pass it down to a daughter, either as a FN or a middle.)
