[name_m]Hi[/name_m] berries! We’re TTC and while we can narrow down our favorite names, we can’t seem to get the hang of building attractive combinations with first/middles. Can you help get us with our list or with names with a similar style? We’re open to one or two middle names (or I am at least!), the only issue is that I kept my last name and now we’re also debating whether or not we use my last as another middle or if we hyphenate for kids. We both have 2-syllable last names, his ends with k.
Our current favorites for girls are:
[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f]
Thank you in advance!
[name_f]Lovely[/name_f] list! I think hyphenatibg last names or using yours as a second middle is an excellent idea! A lot of your picks are similar enough that they could go together as a first and middle combination
[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] [name_f]Alice[/name_f]
I usually prefer one middle name. They just seem to sound better with surnames.
[name_f]Alice[/name_f] [name_f]Cosima[/name_f]
One middle name:
Two middle names:
My suggestions:
combos from your list of names:
[name_f]Alice[/name_f] [name_f]Rosamund[/name_f]; [name_f]Alice[/name_f] [name_f]Cosima[/name_f]; [name_f]Alice[/name_f] [name_f]Marguerite[/name_f]
or…
[name_f]Alice[/name_f] [name_f]Millicent[/name_f]; [name_f]Alice[/name_f] [name_f]Rosalind[/name_f]
Thanks! Such great suggestions! I really like [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] [name_f]Maud[/name_f], [name_f]Lucy[/name_f] [name_f]Marguerite[/name_f], [name_f]Margot[/name_f] [name_f]Louisa[/name_f], [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] [name_f]Helena[/name_f] [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f], and the suggestions of [name_u]Clare[/name_u] and [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f].
What do you think about [name_f]Philippa[/name_f] [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f]? Could 3-syllable 3-syllable 1-syllable (then last name) work or is it too much? As in [name_f]Philippa[/name_f] [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] [name_f]Maud[/name_f] or [name_f]Marguerite[/name_f] [name_f]Rosamund[/name_f] [name_u]Clare[/name_u]?

[name_f]Philippa[/name_f] [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] sounds awesome! [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] softens [name_f]Philippa[/name_f], it’s a well balanced combo.
Two middle names depends on the last name. If the surname is short, [name_f]Philippa[/name_f] [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] [name_f]Maud[/name_f] and [name_f]Marguerite[/name_f] [name_f]Rosamund[/name_f] [name_u]Clare[/name_u] work very well.
[name_f]Philippa[/name_f] [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] ___ Lastname works great!

[name_f]Lovely[/name_f] list!
[name_f]Cosima[/name_f] [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f]
My son has my maiden name as a 2nd middle - I really like the idea
Thanks! You guys are the best! I think we really need to identify our preferred first names to narrow it down any more because now my problem is that I really like any combination of my favorite names. And here I was really worried we’d chosen some clunky names that couldn’t be combined.
of them my favorites are
