Middle names for spunky Xanthe, Phaedra, Delphine?

Girl Names
1

Hey berries!
For a long time I have focused on longer, frillier, feminine first names because I felt like shorter names may not be able to hold their own next to my son’s name, [name_m]Archimedes[/name_m]. But between my son primarily going by his nickname, [name_m]Archie[/name_m], my partner and I coming to an agreement on [name_m]Edmund[/name_m] as our top masculine choice, and a shift in perspective on what it means for sibling names to “go together”, I’ve started looking at throwing some shorter first names into the mix.

After doing some polls in The Quick [name_u]Poll[/name_u] Thread over the last week I’ve narrowed it down to a handful of names that I’m looking to make combos with.
Edit: [name_f]Phaedra[/name_f] [name_f]Eponine[/name_f]?

[name_u]Phaedra[/name_u]- my partner has been iffy about this one in the past but it hasn’t been vetoed. I think the right combo and the introduction of Phae/Fae as a nickname could win him over. I have no middle names ideas yet though.

[name_f]Delphine[/name_f]- I love this one because my mom is named [name_f]Felicia[/name_f] and goes by [name_u]Fee[/name_u], so the presence of the fee sound in [name_f]Delphine[/name_f] works as a sort of subtle honor. I’ve considered [name_f]Delphine[/name_f] [name_f]Rosamund[/name_f], [name_f]Delphine[/name_f] [name_f]Clarimond[/name_f], and [name_f]Delphine[/name_f] [name_f]Magdalena[/name_f].

[name_f]Xanthe[/name_f]- I just adore this name. I haven’t consulted my partner yet but it does feel like a name he would find appealing based on othee conversations we’ve had. I had previously paired it with [name_f]Esmeralda[/name_f] as a middle name but I think the reverse, [name_f]Xanthe[/name_f] [name_f]Esmeralda[/name_f], is just as nice. Open to other ideas!

[name_f]Isolde[/name_f]- [name_f]Isolde[/name_f] has a lot of the same appeal to me as our current top choice, [name_f]Isidora[/name_f], but without being so similar to my son’s middle name, [name_m]Theodore[/name_m]. Like [name_u]Phaedra[/name_u], I’m not sure where to begin with middle names.

[name_f]Thisbe[/name_f]- I haven’t polled this one yet but like [name_f]Xanthe[/name_f] I just love it and feel like it works stylistically. I’ve considered [name_f]Thisbe[/name_f] [name_f]Wilhelmina[/name_f], [name_f]Thisbe[/name_f] [name_f]Cornelia[/name_f], and [name_f]Thisbe[/name_f] [name_f]Octavia[/name_f], but I’m not super attached to any of these combos.

Any suggestions are appreciated!

I love all of these names!
I’d say go for a longer middle name(you’ve probably thought of this already but hey)
[name_f]Xanthe[/name_f] [name_f]Esmeralda[/name_f] is beautiful!

MNs:
[name_f]Marisol[/name_f]
[name_f]Hermione[/name_f]
[name_f]Marina[/name_f]
[name_f]Veronica[/name_f]
[name_f]Angelica[/name_f]

I’ll come back with more ideas. Sorry!

@anon47024950 no need to apologise! [name_f]Veronica[/name_f] and [name_f]Marisol[/name_f] are great. Thank you for your suggestions and I look forward to more.

@rosepip I was hoping your would respond to this post! While not exactly the same, I definitely have noticed a bit of overlap in our tastes so I had a feeling you would have some great suggestions.

I can’t explain why, but I’ve never been fond of the sound of [name_f]Cressida[/name_f] or [name_f]Lavinia[/name_f]. It’s funny because they absolutely seem like names I should love.

[name_f]Delphine[/name_f] [name_f]Eulalia[/name_f] and [name_f]Delphine[/name_f] [name_f]Cassiopeia[/name_f] are absolutely gorgeous! [name_f]Cleocharia[/name_f] is new to me and I’m going to enjoy reading up on this name.

Wow wow wow I’m loving [name_f]Isolde[/name_f] [name_f]Helisent[/name_f]. I’m not certain yet if I like the alliteration of Helisant with our surname, but I’m going to let it marinate in my brain for bit and then reassess. [name_f]Isolde[/name_f] [name_f]Andromeda[/name_f] is very intriguing too.

[name_f]Thisbe[/name_f] [name_f]Cosima[/name_f], [name_f]Thisbe[/name_f] [name_f]Minerva[/name_f], and [name_f]Thisbe[/name_f] [name_f]Philomena[/name_f] are all just delightful. And if my cat weren’t already named [name_u]Artemis[/name_u], [name_f]Thisbe[/name_f] [name_f]Artemisia[/name_f] would go straight to the top of my list! [name_f]Thisbe[/name_f] [name_f]Juliet[/name_f] strikes a sweet spot between an uncommon first and more popular middle and feels well balanced.

Delphine is definitely the most usable.

@LynnG I appreciate your feedback. Perception of usability isn’t my biggest concern given our son’s name probably isn’t regarded as super usable either but hasn’t proven to be an issue. But that’s still an important point to consider. Thank you!

@Greyblue thank you for your suggestions!

[name_u]Phaedra[/name_u] [name_f]Leontine[/name_f] is excellent!

[name_f]Delphine[/name_f] [name_f]Ginevra[/name_f] :heart_eyes:

All of these [name_f]Xanthe[/name_f] combos are great, I like [name_f]Xanthe[/name_f] [name_f]Lyra[/name_f] a lot and wouldn’t have thought of that combination on my own.

[name_f]Rosemary[/name_f] is my maternal grandmother’s name! She doesn’t like it much herself (her mom was Larose, her sister is [name_f]Lynda[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f], it’s a whole thing) so I won’t use it, but I love the name and think [name_f]Isolde[/name_f] [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f] is gorgeous. [name_f]Isolde[/name_f] [name_f]Felicity[/name_f] would make such a great honor but I would definitely have to run it by my mom since she also isn’t super fond of her own name. She has said before that she thinks [name_f]Felicity[/name_f] is a prettier variation, but I would still want to consult her all the same. I think on the whole [name_f]Calliope[/name_f] and [name_f]Thessaly[/name_f] are my favorite middle suggestions here for [name_f]Isolde[/name_f]. [name_f]Isolde[/name_f] [name_f]Thessaly[/name_f] is honestly just magical.

Ok ok we’re just in uncanny valley now- I mentioned before that my great grandmother was Larose right? Well her birth name was [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u] Larose and she switched her first and middle when she got married. The reason she preferred Larose was that her sister’s name was [name_f]Marilyn[/name_f]! She always went by Larose or [name_f]Rosie[/name_f] because she hated that [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u] matched so closely with [name_f]Marilyn[/name_f]. I never met her sister because they were estranged by the time I came into the world, but it’s just so funny that so many of our family names happened to be in your post.
[name_f]Thisbe[/name_f] [name_f]Violet[/name_f] is so bright and sweet! And I love love love [name_f]Thisbe[/name_f] [name_f]Imogen[/name_f] as well. [name_f]Juliet[/name_f] and [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] work really well here too.

Oh, you are a girl after my own heart, I do declare. This list is stunning.

After living the similar story of a partner who only wanted long and rather bold and very distinctive names who has now OKed a few shorter options, I understand the somewhat liberatory exhilaration that comes with an expanded list of shorter options… including [name_f]Thisbe[/name_f]!!

I agree [name_f]Thisbe[/name_f] would be adorable with [name_m]Archie[/name_m] and Archemedes alike. She can stand her own next to the long ones like the best of them, yet sounds so adorably nicknamelike.

Since my top [name_f]Thisbe[/name_f] combo is [name_f]Thisbe[/name_f] [name_f]Apolline[/name_f] [name_f]Marigold[/name_f], I’ll say I would LOVE the trochee-iamb pair of [name_f]Thisbe[/name_f] [name_f]Delphine[/name_f]… gorgeous!

Thisbe [name_f]Delphine[/name_f]
[name_f]Thisbe[/name_f] [name_f]Wilhelmina[/name_f]
[name_f]Thisbe[/name_f] [name_f]Esmeralda[/name_f] (there is something enchanted about the z sounds disguised as s here)
[name_f]Thisbe[/name_f] [name_f]Olympe[/name_f] (swoon! I know you like [name_f]Olympe[/name_f], too)
[name_f]Thisbe[/name_f] Campanula :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: :kiss:
[name_f]Thisbe[/name_f] [name_f]Marguerite[/name_f] (my friend who just had a Z.0.s1a M@rgu3r1te just considered this one… I’m secretly glad so I can still consider [name_f]Thisbe[/name_f] myself)

[name_f]Thisbe[/name_f] [name_f]Franzetta[/name_f]
[name_f]Thisbe[/name_f] [name_f]Alexandrine[/name_f]

Phaedra was long ago vetoed (along with [name_f]Kendre[/name_f], [name_f]Dierdre[/name_f], and [name_f]Tindra[/name_f]) by my partner, but I love her so. That said, I don’t know what to do with her middle name wise. She is one of those unwieldy ones I find difficult to pair.

Xanthe was going to be my [name_f]Chrysanthemum[/name_f]’s nickname so she has such a special place in my heart. I don’t think there is any better to be found but [name_f]Xanthe[/name_f] [name_f]Esmeralda[/name_f] ([name_f]Esmeralda[/name_f] was on the shortlist for [name_f]Chrysanthemum[/name_f]’s sister). Seriously look no further as this is perfection.

Delphine is so sweet and strong at once.

Delphine is my absolute favourite of your choices. I love the subtle honour, the name itself sounds so graceful and mystical, and it’s unusual in a way that won’t inconvenience a child, i.e. easy to spell and intuitive to pronounce. The meaning is also lovely!

Xanthe is wonderful, too! I can imagine lots of sweet, sassy and wearable nicknames, and I think [name_f]Xanthe[/name_f] can easily morph from a sunshiney, punky name for a little girl to a warm, noble and distinctive name for an adult.

I think [name_f]Isolde[/name_f] is beautiful in writing, but may present some practical challenges. How would you pronounce it? I am reluctant to dissuade you from this name at all because i love its romantic, whimsical feel so much… similar to [name_f]Yseult[/name_f], which i love, it is stunning but i fear the least approachable of your choices.

Would you consider [name_f]Magdalena[/name_f] or [name_f]Magdalene[/name_f] as a first? I think [name_f]Magdalena[/name_f] [name_f]Delphine[/name_f] and [name_f]Magdalena[/name_f] [name_f]Isolde[/name_f] are divine. Here are some names that came to mind for your firsts:

Delphine [name_f]Morgana[/name_f]
[name_f]Delphine[/name_f] [name_f]Atalanta[/name_f]
[name_f]Xanthe[/name_f] [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f]
[name_f]Xanthe[/name_f] [name_f]Celeste[/name_f]
[name_f]Xanthe[/name_f] [name_f]Gwyneira[/name_f]
[name_f]Isolde[/name_f] [name_f]Valencia[/name_f]
[name_f]Isolde[/name_f] [name_f]Mireille[/name_f]
[name_f]Isolde[/name_f] [name_f]Juno[/name_f]
[name_f]Thisbe[/name_f] [name_f]Helene[/name_f]

@strawberrysun Thank you for your input! It hadn’t occurred to me that someone might have trouble with [name_f]Isolde[/name_f]. Because of the association to [name_u]Tristan[/name_u] and [name_f]Isolde[/name_f] I kind of assumed a lot of people would be familiar with it, bit maybe that isn’t actuslly as prevalent of an association as I thought. That definitely something I need to think about now. We say [name_f]Isolde[/name_f] as ee-zold.

One of my best friends has a daughter named [name_f]Maggie[/name_f] so [name_f]Magdalena[/name_f] for us only works as a middle sadly.

Xanthe [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f] is gorgeous!!! [name_f]Thisbe[/name_f] [name_f]Alexandria[/name_f], [name_f]Isolde[/name_f] [name_f]Mireille[/name_f], and [name_f]Delphine[/name_f] [name_f]Atalanta[/name_f] are all lovely as well.

@sarahjane1 [name_f]Xanthe[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] is so sweet! I’m not totally sure it’s the right choice for us but I do love it.

@hyacinthbucket
I love that you remembered by fondness for [name_f]Olympe[/name_f]! [name_f]Olympe[/name_f] or [name_f]Olympia[/name_f] honestly sound so good with [name_f]Thisbe[/name_f], I can’t believe I didn’t think of this. [name_f]Thisbe[/name_f] [name_f]Plum[/name_f] I never would have thought of on my own but is absolutely darling, I love it, and it’s sparked some other ideas too ([name_f]Thisbe[/name_f] Persimmon? [name_f]Thisbe[/name_f] [name_u]Juniper[/name_u]? )
I honestly adore like 90% of these [name_f]Thisbe[/name_f] combos and I’m still not sure which ones I like most!

I’m thinking [name_u]Phaedra[/name_u] [name_f]Eponine[/name_f] kinda sounds nice, thoughts?

Delphine [name_f]Sybella[/name_f] is stunning! [name_f]Delphine[/name_f] [name_f]Hestia[/name_f] is excellent too, but like [name_f]Helisent[/name_f] I worry it’s a little too simialar to/alliterative with our surname.

Great suggestions for [name_f]Isolde[/name_f] as well, I’m especially liking the cadence of [name_f]Isolde[/name_f] [name_f]Quintessa[/name_f].

I especially love [name_u]Phaedra[/name_u] [name_f]Rhiannon[/name_f], [name_f]Delphine[/name_f] [name_f]Eugenia[/name_f], [name_f]Delphine[/name_f] [name_f]Araminta[/name_f], [name_f]Xanthe[/name_f] [name_f]Minerva[/name_f], [name_f]Isolde[/name_f] [name_f]Cassiopeia[/name_f], [name_f]Isolde[/name_f] [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f], and [name_f]Thisbe[/name_f] [name_f]Lavender[/name_f]!

Artemis is my 11 year old cat’s name so [name_u]Artemis[/name_u]/Artemisia are sadly off the table. I really wasn’t thinking ahead when I named her all those years ago. :joy:

Thank you! Maybe [name_f]Athena[/name_f] could work?
