So my husband finally weighed in after months of shrugging off my name ideas! Our first daughters name is [name]Hayden[/name] [name]Anne[/name] [name]Claire[/name], and although I’ve never been a double middle name person, it was a great way to honor both sides of the family without alienating anyone. So for our 2nd daughter we plan on doing the same.
Here are my husbands top 3 names, with the middle name combos we’ve selected. What do you think?
[name]Aria[/name] [name]Rose[/name] [name]Dorothea[/name] is gorgeous! I also like [name]Sophia[/name] [name]Rose[/name] or [name]Maia[/name] [name]Jade[/name].
[name]Sophia[/name] [name]Rose[/name] [name]Dorothea[/name] flows the best imo, and I think [name]Sophia[/name] fits nicely with [name]Hayden[/name].
[name]Aria[/name] [name]Jade[/name] [name]Dorothea[/name] is also pretty, but both [name]Aria[/name] and [name]Maia[/name] seem very soft, feminine and floaty compared to [name]Hayden[/name]
[name]Just[/name] being someone off the street playing devil’s advocate, my first thoughts are drop [name]Dorothea[/name] as it makes the whole thing too much of a tongue twister, and I don’t even know how to say [name]Maia[/name].
Apart from that, they’re nice
[name]Dorothea[/name] is a must for us. I know its long, but really, its a middle name. [name]Both[/name] my husband and I have grandmothers named [name]Dorothea[/name], and both have passed. [name]Both[/name] were extraordinary women, and although it may sound off, I wouldn’t have it any other way.
[name]Maia[/name], is pronounced just like [name]Maya[/name] or [name]Mya[/name]. Its just another popular spellingbof the name.
[name]Maia[/name] [name]Jade[/name] [name]Dorothea[/name] gets my vote! [name]Hayden[/name] and [name]Maia[/name] are nice together. [name]Aria[/name] and [name]Sophia[/name] feel a little frilly next to [name]Hayden[/name].
As a [name]June[/name]-born [name]Sophie[/name], I have to say that my favorite is [name]Sophia[/name] [name]Rose[/name] [name]Dorothea[/name] :3 But I also think that the popularity factor of [name]Sophie[/name]/a works well with [name]Hayden[/name]'s popularity.
Second favorite is probably [name]Maia[/name] (either mn set). Congratulations!
i love [name]Aria[/name]. it feels romantic for me. [name]Sophia[/name] is beautiful too but it’s pretty popular. [name]Maia[/name]…i don’t like it sorry…
I don’t really like any of them next to the masculine feeling [name]Hayden[/name]. [name]Aria[/name] and [name]Sophia[/name] are way too frilly and I’d assume [name]Hayden[/name] was a boy. [name]Maia[/name] is a stronger name and I could see [name]Hayden[/name] & [name]Maia[/name] being two girls (I prefer [name]Maya[/name] but you may not want to corner yourself in a Y theme)
The combos sound choppy. They would flow better if [name]Dorothea[/name] was the first mn. I’d pick [name]Maia[/name] [name]Jade[/name] [name]Dorothea[/name] but [name]Maia[/name] [name]Dorothea[/name] [name]Jade[/name] sounds better
