First time posting here… we thought we were done, but surprise, we’re expecting again. We have two boys (6 & 3). We’re settled on a boy name, but still deciding between [name]Magnolia[/name] (we pronounce it [name]Mag[/name]-no-lee-ah, not nol-yah) (nn [name]Nolie[/name]) and Pomeline (pom-uh-leen) (nn [name]Lina[/name]) for a girl. [name]One[/name] of which we’re hoping we’ll be able to use as they’ve been our faves since our first was born
We need two middle names for each.
DH is pretty set on the one syllable name for first MN. And while he really loves [name]Isabel[/name] as 2nd MN for [name]Magnolia[/name], we’re definitely open to suggestions. Our surname starts with T, two syllables, and ends in -er.
So far we have:
[name]Magnolia[/name] [name]Kate[/name] [name]Isabel[/name]
[name]Magnolia[/name] [name]Wren[/name] [name]Isabel[/name]
[name]Magnolia[/name] [name]Lane[/name] – we both love [name]Lane[/name] but I think this sounds too much like a street name.
[name]Magnolia[/name] [name]Kate[/name] [name]Isabel[/name] is my favorite. [name]Lane[/name] is rather masculine; I would not use it here. Other possibilities for [name]Magnolia[/name]:
I love both [name]Magnolia[/name] [name]Kate[/name] [name]Isabel[/name] and [name]Magnolia[/name] [name]June[/name] [name]Isabel[/name]. ([name]Magnolia[/name] [name]Cate[/name] is my own favorite name.) So sweet and spunky!
[name]Just[/name] a heads up Pomeline is prn more like “po-me-leen” or “pom me leen” (according to doctissimo.fr threads) I would describe it best as “pom ee leen” you can also listen to it here since Im bad at describing phonetic prn’s Pomeline pronunciation: How to pronounce Pomeline in French
My grandmother was Anolia, nn [name]Nolie[/name]. I’ve never met anyone with her name or nn.
[name]Magnolia[/name] [name]Kate[/name] [name]Isabel[/name]~ Great flow! Or [name]Magnolia[/name] [name]Belle[/name] [name]Catherine[/name]
[name]Magnolia[/name] [name]Wren[/name] [name]Isabel[/name]~ Three pretty names.
[name]Magnolia[/name] [name]Lane[/name] – we both love [name]Lane[/name] but I think this sounds too much like a street name. ~ It does but [name]Magnolia[/name] [name]Isabeau[/name] [name]Lane[/name] is pretty [name]Magnolia[/name] [name]Clare[/name] [name]Isabel[/name], [name]Magnolia[/name] [name]Jane[/name] [name]Isabel[/name], [name]Magnolia[/name] [name]June[/name] [name]Isabel[/name], [name]Magnolia[/name] [name]Gwen[/name] [name]Isabel[/name]
Ahh, two gorgeous names. Sigh. I’d have a hard time deciding too. I like previous suggestions of [name]Magnolia[/name] [name]Claire[/name]/[name]Clare[/name] and Pomeline [name]Isobel[/name]. I agree with how you prn them, regardless of the legit pronunciation. I also think [name]Lina[/name] is a much cuter nn than [name]Nolie[/name], so my vote goes to Pomeline, especially since it is much more rare. But I say use both. Either Pomeline [name]Isobel[/name] [name]Magnolia[/name] or [name]Magnolia[/name] [name]Isobel[/name] Pomeline.
