Middle names for my top three names?

Name Advice
1

hey! new to nameberry but thinking about middle names for my top three fav girl names

  • alexandra
  • meredith
  • madeleine
    (props if you can spot the connection between the first two)

surname is one syllable starting with w, i really dislike ‘nature’ names (rose, lily etc), super popular middle names (grace, may etc), and ‘old lady names’ (mary, helen, dorothy etc)

any advice on how many syllables, suitable middle names, ops on my choice of first names? thanks!

(background: alexandra is greek, meredith is welsh and madeleine is french - maybe someone could match that? thank you!)

Since all of the names are 3+ syllables, and your surname has only one syllable, I think middle names with 2 syllables would balance it out nicely, but with the right combination even 1 and 3-syllabic names would work!

Some ideas

[name_f]Alexandra[/name_f] [name_f]Alice[/name_f]
[name_f]Alexandra[/name_f] [name_f]Daphne[/name_f]
[name_f]Alexandra[/name_f] [name_f]Margo[/name_f] / [name_f]Margot[/name_f]
[name_f]Alexandra[/name_f] [name_u]Mirren[/name_u]
[name_f]Alexandra[/name_f] [name_f]Selene[/name_f]

[name_u]Meredith[/name_u] [name_f]Adele[/name_f]
[name_u]Meredith[/name_u] [name_f]Anouk[/name_f]
[name_u]Meredith[/name_u] [name_f]Elsie[/name_f]
[name_u]Meredith[/name_u] [name_f]Kaia[/name_f]
[name_u]Meredith[/name_u] [name_f]Nina[/name_f]

[name_f]Madeleine[/name_f] [name_u]Celeste[/name_u]
