Narrowed down names. Opinions please! :)

[name]Hi[/name] everyone again,

Ok so with the help of everyone that suggested some AMAZING middle names, I have narrowed it down to a few that really stand out to me. And I need opinions again please! Opinions on the names and ways to better them, on the flow and way they sound …

[name]Lily[/name] [name]Paloma[/name] [name]Skye[/name] - This is such a perfect suggestion, love the meaning of [name]Paloma[/name] and [name]Skye[/name] is my sisters name!

[name]Lily[/name] [name]Aurelia[/name] ____ - Not sure if I would put a 2nd mn with this stunning name! Does it sound to rhymey next to [name]Lily[/name]? If you think I could use a 2nd mn what do you think would work? OH AND [name]HOW[/name] DOES EVERYONE PN [name]AURELIA[/name]?!?!

[name]Lily[/name] [name]Isabel[/name] [name]Wren[/name]/[name]Skye[/name] - DH is stuck on the name [name]Isabel[/name] (he thinks its the perfect girls name, me I am more blegh with the name but I won with the first name so I think its nice for him to have a say with the mn)

Also how usable is [name]Plum[/name] as a 2nd mn? I am think it is ADORABLE, but is it too much? [name]Lily[/name] [name]Isabel[/name] [name]Plum[/name] (just an example)? Too cutesy? I am open to even more suggestions and opinions on all of the names!

Thanks!
[name]Lauren[/name]…

[name]Lily[/name] [name]Aurelia[/name] is gorgeous! I wouldn’t add another name - [name]Aurelia[/name] is a powerful, beautiful name. And the only time I’ve heard it pronounced is on the movie [name]Love[/name] Actually: or-ALE-ya.

[name]Lily[/name] [name]Paloma[/name] [name]Skye[/name] - while very pretty, this combo is too noun-ey for me. [name]Lily[/name], which is a flower. [name]Paloma[/name] is a name meaning “dove”. And [name]Skye[/name], of course, references the sky. It’s pretty but I think you need a name name in the combo.

[name]Lily[/name] [name]Aurelia[/name] - absolutely love! [name]Lily[/name] and [name]Aurelia[/name] are two of my favorites and they pair together so well. I’ve always loved [name]Aurelia[/name] [name]Kate[/name]/[name]Aurelie[/name] [name]Kate[/name], so I would probably do [name]Lily[/name] [name]Aurelia[/name] [name]Kate[/name], but that’s me. :slight_smile:

[name]Lily[/name] [name]Isabel[/name] [name]Wren[/name]/[name]Skye[/name] - I want to vote for this simply because I love [name]Isabelle[/name]/[name]Isabel[/name] and [name]Wren[/name] so much! I think [name]Lily[/name] [name]Isabel[/name] [name]Wren[/name] is adorable. It’s a toss-up between [name]Lily[/name] [name]Aurelia[/name] [name]Kate[/name] and [name]Lily[/name] [name]Isabel[/name] [name]Wren[/name] for me!

Good luck!

I never thought of the too noun-ey thing for [name]Lily[/name] [name]Paloma[/name] [name]Skye[/name], But I see your point now … I guess with my sisters’ name being [name]Skye[/name] I just automatically think of it being a name. I agree with you maybe adding a name rather then a ‘word’ would level out the mn combo.

[name]Lily[/name] [name]Aurelia[/name] is definitely a favourite of mine at the moment, [name]Kate[/name] sounds good with it too :slight_smile: DH will be glad to here there are votes for [name]Lily[/name] [name]Isabel[/name] [name]Wren[/name]!

My favourite is [name]Lily[/name] [name]Aurelia[/name] but I also really like [name]Lily[/name] [name]Isabel[/name] [name]Wren[/name] as well.

i pronounce aurelia like aw-rell-ee-uh.

and i love both lily and aurelia, but i think they might be too much of a mouthful with the "r"s and "l"s all together.

paloma is lovely, as are isabel and wren! i think i’d go with the first one you listed if i had to choose :slight_smile:

To start, I say Or-RAIL-yuh or Or-RELL-yuh like in [name]Love[/name] Actually, too!

I like [name]Lily[/name] [name]Paloma[/name] [name]Skye[/name] the best. [name]Paloma[/name] is a “namey name” that happens to mean “dove,” just as [name]Aurelia[/name] is a namey name meaning “gold” or “golden”. Most people will not know [name]Paloma[/name]‘s meaning, so I feel it’s no different from [name]Lily[/name] [name]Aurelia[/name] [name]Plum[/name] (for instance) or [name]Lily[/name] [name]Isabel[/name] [name]Wren[/name]–two noun names sandwiched around a namey name. And I believe that [name]Lily[/name] has been so embraced as a first name that it doesn’t immediately connote a flower (like [name]Pansy[/name] or [name]Zinnia[/name])–it’s a lovely girls’ name, too, so people won’t be quick to see a noun theme. Overall, I think [name]Lily[/name] [name]Paloma[/name] __ flows the best, incorporating a unifying L while offering enough other sounds to distinguish the two names. [name]Lily[/name] [name]Aurelia[/name] works just fine in my book, though it can be a bit of a tongue-twister. I think [name]Isabel[/name]'s a bit overdone and [name]Lily[/name] [name]Isabel[/name] is all short I’s and L’s, so [name]IMO[/name] it runs into itself much more than [name]Lily[/name] [name]Aurelia[/name].

If [name]Lily[/name] [name]Paloma[/name] [name]Skye[/name] still strikes you as too noun-y, perhaps this is the place to add [name]Kate[/name] instead: [name]Lily[/name] [name]Paloma[/name] [name]Kate[/name]? Or another namey name like [name]Lily[/name] [name]Paloma[/name] [name]Maeve[/name] or [name]Lily[/name] [name]Paloma[/name] [name]Claire[/name]? But I do love the family tie to [name]Skye[/name], so [name]Lily[/name] [name]Paloma[/name] [name]Skye[/name] has my vote! :slight_smile: Best wishes!

Oh, a quick edit: I do find [name]Plum[/name] a tad cutesy, but since it would be in the middle, I don’t see a problem. [name]Lily[/name] [name]Aurelia[/name] [name]Plum[/name] does sound nice, though I prefer [name]Lily[/name] [name]Aurelia[/name] [name]Kate[/name] or [name]Lily[/name] [name]Paloma[/name] [name]Skye[/name] :slight_smile:
