I am [name]Elspeth[/name] and my husband is [name]James[/name]. We have 4 gorgeous children [name]Hazel[/name] [name]Sofia[/name] & [name]Maude[/name] [name]Sybil[/name] are 7, [name]Imogen[/name] [name]Marie[/name] is 3 & [name]Rafferty[/name] [name]Silas[/name] is 1. We are expecting our 4th little girl in [name]June[/name] and are really struggling to find an old fashioned name we both agree on. I want it to sound nice with our other children’s names and have many possible nicknames. I also want to continue the 5 letter middle name theme but am willing to branch away from S & M names although they are welcome. I don’t want a E, J, H, M, I or R name.
I think that’s it. Is anyone up for the challenge?

I agree on the suggestion of [name]Ada[/name] [name]Pearl[/name]. I think that it is a perfectly elegant old-fashioned name that would work well with the names of the other siblings. However, I must admit I have a personal bias, because it was my wonderful great grandmother’s name and I’ve always had it on my girl’s list.
[name]Pearl[/name] [name]Edith[/name]- I love the simple elegance of [name]Pearl[/name].
[name]Georgia[/name] [name]Pearl[/name]-- oooh I like this too! Although its a little wordy, kinda sounds like your refering to Pearls from [name]Georgia[/name]. [name]Georgia[/name] [name]Clare[/name] would be my pick.
[name]Adeline[/name] [name]Grace[/name]- Eh, feels trendy.
[name]Constance[/name] [name]Naomi[/name]- Eh, feels very stuffy.
[name]Esther[/name] [name]Lydia[/name]- [name]Esther[/name] is not my cup of tea but I guess its not terrible.
[name]Agatha[/name] [name]Pearl[/name]- [name]Agatha[/name] is to harsh imo.
[name]Edith[/name] [name]Clare[/name]- [name]Love[/name] this. [name]Edie[/name] makes the cutest nn too.
[name]Eudora[/name] [name]April[/name]- nope
[name]Gertrude[/name] [name]Olive[/name]- Too harsh imo.
[name]Gladys[/name] [name]Faith[/name]- [name]Gladys[/name] is cute and very unexpected. I dont love [name]Faith[/name]. [name]Gladys[/name] [name]Pearl[/name] would be my pick.
[name]Virginia[/name] [name]Opal[/name]- Im not a fan of [name]Virginia[/name]. I can imagine teenage boys having a hay day with the virgin jokes.
[name]Prudence[/name] [name]Daisy[/name]- [name]Prudence[/name] just isnt very pretty imo.
[name]Florence[/name] [name]Luella[/name]- I like [name]Florence[/name], but not with [name]Luella[/name]. [name]Florence[/name] [name]April[/name], [name]Florence[/name] [name]Clare[/name], or [name]Florence[/name] [name]Olive[/name] (I like that)
[name]Dorothy[/name] [name]Irene[/name]- I prefer [name]Dorothea[/name], it has more spunk.
My favorites fns:
[name]Pearl[/name]
[name]Georgia[/name]
[name]Edith[/name]
[name]Florence[/name]
[name]Gladys[/name]
[name]Favorite[/name] mns:
[name]Pearl[/name]
[name]Lydia[/name]
[name]Clare[/name]
[name]Olive[/name]
[name]Daisy[/name]
What about [name]Frances[/name] or [name]Viola[/name]?
I really like:
[name]Pearl[/name]
[name]Georgia[/name]
[name]Adeline[/name]
[name]Esther[/name] - [name]Hester[/name] is a guilty pleasure of mine.
[name]Edith[/name] - Is on my list. [name]Edie[/name] is beyond cute.
[name]Virginia[/name] - Also on my list.
[name]Florence[/name]
[name]Dorothy[/name] - Would be on my list if my son wasn’t [name]Theodore[/name]. [name]Love[/name] [name]Dot[/name]/[name]Dottie[/name]/[name]Dolly[/name].
I like [name]Milla[/name], it will go well with her siblings.
[name]How[/name] many syllables is your ln?
Some combos:
[name]Dorothy[/name] [name]Milla[/name]
[name]Florence[/name] [name]Milla[/name]
[name]Eleanor[/name] [name]Milla[/name]
[name]Adelaide[/name] [name]Milla[/name]
[name]Iris[/name] [name]Milla[/name]
[name]Estelle[/name] [name]Milla[/name]
[name]Edith[/name] [name]Milla[/name]
[name]Alice[/name] [name]Milla[/name]
From your first round I really like [name]Pearl[/name] [name]Milla[/name] for having a 1-2 structure and a short first name to go with many syllables in the last names. However plenty of the 2 and 3s would be beautiful too : D - I love all your current name including the longer [name]Imogen[/name] and [name]Rafferty[/name] (the more I see this name, the more I love it). I like [name]Georgia[/name] [name]Milla[/name] best from the previous round of fns, but it does kind of make me think of [name]Georgia[/name] mills. I like [name]Adeline[/name] [name]Milla[/name] best from the previous 3-syl fns. [name]Adelaide[/name] [name]Milla[/name]?
