Need a middle name for Sarah, due this month.

Girl Names

It’s so hard to find a name my husband and I both like! We’ve had to rule out a lot of our individual favorites. We’re now down to:

[name_f]Sarah[/name_f] [name_f]Josephine[/name_f]
[name_f]Sarah[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f]
[name_f]Sarah[/name_f] [name_f]Jessa[/name_f]
[name_f]Sarah[/name_f] [name_u]Jean[/name_u]

What do you think?

I’ll rank them because I think they’re all lovely.

  1. [name_f]Sarah[/name_f] [name_f]Josephine[/name_f]
  2. [name_f]Sarah[/name_f] [name_u]Jean[/name_u] (Not sure if you’re into nicknames but I think [name_f]Sadie[/name_f] [name_u]Jean[/name_u] is adorable!)
  3. [name_f]Sarah[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f]
  4. [name_f]Sarah[/name_f] [name_f]Jessa[/name_f] (I’m not a huge fan of this combo and it reminds me of [name_f]Sarah[/name_f] [name_f]Jessica[/name_f] [name_u]Parker[/name_u])

I vote for [name_f]Sarah[/name_f] [name_f]Josephine[/name_f]. I think it’s definitely the best of your options, it sounds lovely. :slight_smile:

I like [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] and [name_u]Jean[/name_u], but in the middle with [name_f]Sarah[/name_f] they both sound kind of… plain to me, I guess. Pretty, but not that exciting. Maybe a variation? [name_f]Elise[/name_f]? [name_f]Elspeth[/name_f]? [name_f]Jeanette[/name_f]?

I’m not a huge fan of [name_f]Jessa[/name_f] on its own, but I like [name_f]Jessamine[/name_f] or [name_f]Jessamyn[/name_f]. What do you think of those?

Good luck! :slight_smile:

I totally agree with you, those do sound plain together. I do like the other options you mentioned, but they are not an option for my dh:)

I like [name_f]Sarah[/name_f] [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] and [name_f]Sarah[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f]. Quite classic. :slight_smile:

[name_f]Sarah[/name_f] is such a beautiful name that it lends it’s self easily to any of the middles you’ve chosen.

My personal favorite is [name_f]Sarah[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f], followed by [name_f]Sarah[/name_f] [name_f]Josephine[/name_f]. Congratulations and good luck. :slight_smile:

[name_f]Sarah[/name_f] [name_u]Jean[/name_u] flows best…:smiley:

I feel all the middle names work well with [name_f]Sarah[/name_f]. My personal favorite is [name_f]Sarah[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f].

[name_f]Sarah[/name_f] [name_f]Josephine[/name_f]. [name_f]Sarah[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] is SUCH a common combo, so I think [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] adds a little bit more “spice” to the name.

11

I like [name_f]Sarah[/name_f] [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] the most, and [name_f]Sarah[/name_f] [name_f]Jessa[/name_f] the least. [name_f]Sarah[/name_f] [name_f]Jessa[/name_f] is supper rhyme-y. [name_m]Both[/name_m] names are 5 letters, 2 syllables, and end in the a sound. It sounds abrupt. [name_f]Sarah[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] is sweeter than [name_f]Sarah[/name_f] [name_u]Jean[/name_u]. [name_f]Sarah[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] is ok, but a bit plain.

12

[name_f]Sarah[/name_f] [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] - I think this sounds very nice together.
[name_f]Sarah[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] - This is my favorite…very classic and just beautiful!
[name_f]Sarah[/name_f] [name_f]Jessa[/name_f] - I’m not fond of the double “a” ending sound. Much too matchy.
[name_f]Sarah[/name_f] [name_u]Jean[/name_u] - I like this one too. It has a cute, fresh sound.

13

[name_f]Sarah[/name_f] [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] - This is my favorite. [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] goes really nicely with [name_f]Sarah[/name_f].
[name_f]Sarah[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] - [name_f]Lovely[/name_f], but feels a bit plainer than [name_f]Sarah[/name_f] [name_f]Josephine[/name_f]. I also feel like it might become Sarahlizabeth.
[name_f]Sarah[/name_f] [name_f]Jessa[/name_f] - Not a fan of [name_f]Jessa[/name_f] and, as others have mentioned, it sounds like [name_f]Sarah[/name_f] [name_f]Jessica[/name_f] [name_u]Parker[/name_u].
[name_f]Sarah[/name_f] [name_u]Jean[/name_u] - I really like [name_u]Jean[/name_u], especially as a middle, but I don’t love this combination.

Suggestion: [name_f]Sarah[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f]? I think it’s really pretty, and sounds a lot like [name_f]Sarah[/name_f] [name_u]Jean[/name_u] but a bit softer.
