Middle names to 'girly' up unisex firsts

Girl Names
1

I love unisex names on girls but I am struggling to find good middle names to balance it out. With unisex firsts, I prefer girly middles, usually ones with a good amount of vowels, like my combo [name_u]Rowan[/name_u] [name_f]Olivia[/name_f].

I also have [name_u]Piper[/name_u] [name_f]Lorelai[/name_f] (this spelling only), [name_u]Arden[/name_u] [name_f]Romilly[/name_f], [name_u]Aubrey[/name_u] [name_u]Marlowe[/name_u] (defeats my ‘unisex first, girly middle’ goal, but I like it), [name_u]Reese[/name_u] [name_f]Annabel[/name_f] and [name_u]Eden[/name_u] [name_f]Valentina[/name_f]. [name_u]Addison[/name_u] is a name that I love that I am struggling to find a middle for, but I am not sold on any of these minus [name_u]Rowan[/name_u] [name_f]Olivia[/name_f].

What girly middle names would you pair with [name_u]Piper[/name_u], [name_u]Arden[/name_u], [name_u]Aubrey[/name_u], [name_u]Reese[/name_u], [name_u]Eden[/name_u] and [name_u]Addison[/name_u], or are the middles I picked out good as they are? Any input would be appreciated, thank you!

I hear what you’re saying and it makes sense, to a point.

But when I think of what role my middle name has played in my 54 years of living, I have to say it’s pretty nominal.

I know to us nameberries it’s huge, but in daily life, few know or care about my middle name.

Not that your firsts are bad in any way, but I’m not sure how much solace a [name_u]Riley[/name_u] would find in [name_f]Annabelle[/name_f] as a middle if she didn’t like her unisex name to begin with.

Thank you! [name_u]Arden[/name_u] [name_f]Isabel[/name_f], [name_u]Reese[/name_u] [name_f]Margot[/name_f] (!! I love [name_f]Margot[/name_f]), [name_u]Piper[/name_u] [name_f]Jocelyn[/name_f], [name_u]Aubrey[/name_u] [name_f]Mila[/name_f], [name_u]Eden[/name_u] [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f] (I do like the sound of [name_u]Eden[/name_u] [name_u]Meredith[/name_u], but don’t like the character [name_u]Meredith[/name_u] and TV shows are so influential in my life that it’d annoy me, lol) and [name_u]Addison[/name_u] [name_f]Ivy[/name_f]/[name_f]Beatrix[/name_f]. Thanks again.

A name to fall back on, perhaps, but there’s always the chance a child will grow up to hate their name no matter how girly, or how not so girly, it is. Thank you for your input though, I understand.

Thanks! [name_u]Piper[/name_u] [name_f]Soleil[/name_f] (!!), [name_u]Arden[/name_u] [name_f]Francesca[/name_f] (I looove [name_f]Francesca[/name_f]), [name_u]Aubrey[/name_u] [name_f]Elise[/name_f], [name_u]Reese[/name_u] [name_f]Amelia[/name_f] (I debated over this combo before I picked [name_f]Annabel[/name_f]!), [name_u]Eden[/name_u] [name_f]Aurelia[/name_f] and [name_u]Addison[/name_u] [name_f]Eve[/name_f]/[name_f]Lucia[/name_f] are amazing. Thank you.

Ha, you should find out! I’d love to know. Thank you for the suggestions, I especially like [name_u]Piper[/name_u] [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f], [name_u]Arden[/name_u] [name_f]Caterina[/name_f] (I adore [name_f]Caterina[/name_f]), [name_u]Arden[/name_u] [name_f]Isla[/name_f], [name_u]Reese[/name_u] [name_f]Alexandra[/name_f] (ditto, adore [name_f]Alexandra[/name_f]), [name_u]Eden[/name_u] [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] (okay, ditto here too…) and [name_u]Addison[/name_u] [name_f]Lila[/name_f].

I really want to love [name_f]Aubree[/name_f] but I just think of Teen Mom. :frowning: My sister watches that show and has followed it since it began so she’d see the connection instantly. I like [name_u]Addison[/name_u] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] (this seemed like ‘the’ combo for [name_u]Addison[/name_u], but [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] is my sister’s middle), [name_u]Aubrey[/name_u] [name_f]Violet[/name_f]/[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f], [name_u]Arden[/name_u] [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] (!!), [name_u]Piper[/name_u] [name_f]Jasmine[/name_f], [name_u]Eden[/name_u] [name_f]Lily[/name_f] (!!) and [name_u]Reese[/name_u] [name_f]Matilda[/name_f]/[name_f]Amelia[/name_f]/[name_f]Olivia[/name_f]. Thank you.
