Middles although Amelie

Girl Names
1

Yes, it’s me - again.

We’ve settled on [name_f]Amelie[/name_f] but I’m still searching for the perfect middle name. [name_f]Violet[/name_f] is out as I’ve decided there needs to be some meaning to her middle name, and so the following are my current choices. They either have personal meaning or literary meaning to me (I’m a former English teacher and a lover of literature, poetry etc). The exceptions are [name_f]Maeve[/name_f], of which I simply like the meaning (‘bringer of great joy’ I think) and Freya, the mythology of which I love and which was another option for our baby before we settled on Amelie.

[name_f]Amelie[/name_f] [name_u]Wren[/name_u]
[name_f]Amelie[/name_f] [name_f]Swan[/name_f]
[name_f]Amelie[/name_f] [name_f]Maeve[/name_f]
[name_f]Amelie[/name_f] [name_f]Eveline[/name_f]
[name_f]Amelie[/name_f] [name_f]Tempest[/name_f]
Amelie Freya

Opinions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

PS the title is meant to me Middles WITH [name_f]Amelie[/name_f], not ‘although’!

I love [name_f]Amelie[/name_f] [name_f]Violet[/name_f], [name_f]Amelie[/name_f] [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] and [name_f]Amelie[/name_f] [name_f]Tempest[/name_f]!! All are absolutely stunning, very feminine as well as not super common.

What about…

My three favourites are [name_f]Amelie[/name_f] [name_u]Blake[/name_u], [name_f]Amelie[/name_f] [name_u]Harper[/name_u] and [name_f]Amelie[/name_f] [name_f]Sonnet[/name_f] - plus my favourites from your list :).

Good luck and hope you like some of these!

[name_f]Amelie[/name_f] [name_f]Swan[/name_f] jumped right out at me! So unexpected without feeling too gimmicky.

All are beautiful, but my second choice is [name_f]Tempest[/name_f]. Flows nicely and again, is quite striking.

[name_f]Amelie[/name_f] [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] is pretty, but I was always under the impression that [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] meant “intoxicating”? Not sure if that changes how you feel about [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] or not.

[name_f]Amelie[/name_f] [name_f]Swan[/name_f] also struck me, as well–so lovely! [name_f]Amelie[/name_f] [name_u]Wren[/name_u] is super sweet, too, but I think I actually like [name_f]Amelie[/name_f] [name_f]Swan[/name_f] more!

Good luck!

Thanks for the suggestions! I love many of them, particularly [name_f]Amelie[/name_f] [name_f]Matilda[/name_f], but as [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] was our other choice for this baby I want to keep it in case we have another daughter one day. Although things could change I’m almost sure we’d use it for a sister to [name_f]Amelie[/name_f]… If we don’t have another daughter I’ll be annoyed I wasn’t ever able to use it though!

You’re right, it means both! That doesn’t bother me though thankfully. Thanks for alerting me to it :slight_smile:

I love [name_f]Amelie[/name_f]! It’s great that you have meaningful middles to choose from and both [name_f]Amelie[/name_f] [name_f]Eveline[/name_f] and [name_f]Amelie[/name_f] [name_u]Wren[/name_u] are lovely. Both are winners and I can’t decide which I like best.

Thank you everyone for the suggestions and comments! It’s such a hard decision but I have till [name_u]July[/name_u].

Another one I’ve added to my list (and which I’m really loving right now) is [name_f]Amelie[/name_f] [name_f]Juno[/name_f]. [name_f]Juno[/name_f] is a name I love but that my partner would never go for as a first name, and I love the history/mythology behind it (as well as the movie, incidentally).

Any more opinions on these/which is best would be much appreciated!
