[name_m]Hi[/name_m] Berries! I’ve recently been trying to find middle name matches for most of the names on my list. It’s been a lot of fun, but three of my names, all on the less common side of my list, are giving me trouble. I’ve spent way to much of my own time thinking about it, so I decided to come to you all for help!
[name_f]Katrin[/name_f] - I love this name so much! I’m having such a hard time coming up with a middle name that doesn’t overwhelm it though. I had the combination [name_f]Katrin[/name_f] [name_f]Claire[/name_f] for a while, just because I love the name [name_f]Claire[/name_f] as a middle name and try to pair it with absolutely everything. But I found the best combo for [name_f]Claire[/name_f], and I don’t like reusing middles, so I’m trying to find something new. Preferably a one or three syllable middle name, and bonus points if you can find a good middle name pairing that starts with C.
[name_f]Arrietty[/name_f] - [name_f]Arrietty[/name_f] has been on my name list since I first read The Borrowers when I was in elementary school. But because it’s such a light, colorful name, it’s been nearly impossible to pair. I also tried to pair it with [name_f]Claire[/name_f], but that was way too frilly. The middle name should ideally be only one syllable, but two works as well. The two combinations I have right now are [name_f]Arrietty[/name_f] [name_u]Sage[/name_u] and [name_f]Arrietty[/name_f] [name_u]Reese[/name_u], which I like enough but don’t seem quite right.
[name_f]Antigone[/name_f] - [name_f]Antigone[/name_f] is a newer name on my list. It’s got a nice weight to it, though it is long. Thankfully, I did not try to pair it with [name_f]Claire[/name_f]. I really have no idea what would go well as a middle for [name_f]Antigone[/name_f]. Preferably something short, but I really don’t know.
Sorry for this annoyingly long post! Any help is appreciated!
Im not the biggest fan of [name_f]Katrin[/name_f] with a C middle name because I fell like it would sound to much like the first name
I have [name_u]June[/name_u] [name_f]Arrietty[/name_f] on my list but if you want [name_f]Arrietty[/name_f] as a first I think that [name_f]Arrietty[/name_f] [name_u]June[/name_u] is just as good… once again I think [name_f]Arrietty[/name_f] [name_u]Reese[/name_u] is to much R sound
[name_f]Antigone[/name_f] I’m not sure on the pronunciation but [name_f]Antigone[/name_f] [name_f]Jade[/name_f], [name_f]Antigone[/name_f] [name_f]Faye[/name_f], [name_f]Antigone[/name_f] [name_u]Quinn[/name_u], [name_f]Antigone[/name_f] [name_u]Blair[/name_u]
Katrin - It’s great, strong and feminine at the same time.
[name_f]Katrin[/name_f] [name_f]Charisma[/name_f] - I just love this, and I’m not usually one for virtue type of names.

I’d like to suggest [name_f]Arrietty[/name_f] [name_f]Fern[/name_f]! It seems like a good compromise between [name_u]Sage[/name_u] and [name_u]Reese[/name_u].

@Greyblue Your [name_f]Katrin[/name_f] combonations are amazing! [name_f]Katrin[/name_f] [name_f]Cate[/name_f] and [name_f]Katrin[/name_f] [name_u]Clove[/name_u] are genius, and [name_f]Katrin[/name_f] [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] is beautiful! [name_f]Arrietty[/name_f] [name_f]Mabel[/name_f] and [name_f]Antigone[/name_f] [name_f]Joy[/name_f] are also perfect!
@Mar Your right, it’s very hard to find C middle names that don’t sound a lot like [name_f]Katrin[/name_f]. [name_f]Arrietty[/name_f] [name_u]June[/name_u] is great!
