Aquinnah - female

Middle Names
Alfred -Neutral
Casey - male
Day - I actually like this as a middle name. It is just as nice but more unexpected than [name_u]Rae[/name_u].
Spring - Neutral
Frost - Neural
Elisha - I like the soft sound this has.
Grove - See [name_u]Grove[/name_u] above.
Vincent - [name_u]Love[/name_u] this, very handsome and classic.
Bree - Not so sure about this one for a male. It would have to have a good reason behind using it. Blue - I knew someone with a dog named this so I have a hard time picturing it on a person.
Dream - This seems too literal and maybe a little cheesy?
Love - See [name_u]Dream[/name_u]
Whimsical - See [name_u]Dream[/name_u]
Eugene - I really like this. I would be pleasantly surprised to meet a little [name_m]Eugene[/name_m].
Cleopatra - This to me is still a little too much like [name_f]Madonna[/name_f]. I tend to associate it with one person.
Bernadette - I like this
Melisande - Neutral
Winifred - Cute nn [name_f]Winnie[/name_f]
Eleanor - I like this but it comes with the very popular “[name_f]Ellie[/name_f]”
Lillian - [name_u]Love[/name_u] this (clearly haha)
Maxwell - I really like this and the strong nn [name_u]Max[/name_u]
Edmund - I tend to like this only for the middle, because I am not a fan of the nn [name_m]Eddie[/name_m]
George - You can’t go wrong with a great classic
Iris - Pretty and unexpected/fresh name for the middle spot.

AS FIRST NAMES
[name_u]Elias[/name_u] - love [name_u]Elias[/name_u]!
[name_m]Alfred[/name_m] - like it, but prefer [name_m]Frederick[/name_m] or [name_u]Freddie[/name_u]
[name_u]Grove[/name_u] - sounds like a surname not a name, and especially not a girl’s name
[name_u]Frost[/name_u] - again, it sounds like a surname, but I think it could work slightly better than [name_u]Grove[/name_u] for a girl
[name_f]Aquinnah[/name_f] - not sure how to pronounce this, but still prefer it over [name_u]Grove[/name_u] and [name_u]Frost[/name_u]

AS MIDDLE NAMES
[name_m]Alfred[/name_m] - love as a middle name
[name_u]Casey[/name_u] - I love [name_u]Casey[/name_u] for a boy
[name_u]Day[/name_u] - I can see this working, and it could be really cute if used as a double name
[name_f]Spring[/name_f] - I actually quite like it as a middle name but only for a spring baby
[name_u]Frost[/name_u] - as I said before I’m not a fan of it as a name, but I think it’s much better in the middle spot than the first
[name_u]Elisha[/name_u] - love [name_u]Elisha[/name_u]
[name_u]Grove[/name_u] - it just is too surname-y for me
[name_m]Vincent[/name_m] - never been a fan
[name_f]Bree[/name_f] - I think it could work but you would need a very masculine first name
[name_u]Blue[/name_u] - would make a lovely middle name, but you might want to use a less unusual first name
[name_u]Dream[/name_u] - could work in the middle spot, but could come across as ridiculous and/or tacky
[name_u]Love[/name_u] - [name_u]Love[/name_u] is just too much and sounds quite tacky
Whimsical - I prefer [name_f]Whimsy[/name_f], Whimsical doesn’t sound like a name at all
[name_m]Eugene[/name_m] - not a fan
[name_f]Cleopatra[/name_f] - adore [name_f]Clio[/name_f]/[name_f]Cleo[/name_f] and actually quite like [name_f]Cleopatra[/name_f]
[name_f]Bernadette[/name_f] - I like this
[name_f]Melisande[/name_f] - sounds very pretty
[name_f]Winifred[/name_f] - adore [name_f]Winnie[/name_f], and quite like this as well
[name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] - love
[name_f]Lillian[/name_f] - prefer [name_f]Lilly[/name_f], but [name_f]Lillian[/name_f] is pretty as well
[name_m]Maxwell[/name_m] - like
[name_m]Edmund[/name_m] - adore
[name_m]George[/name_m] - love
[name_f]Iris[/name_f] - gorgeous!

[name_u]Elias[/name_u] is a gorgeous boy’s name, really like this and I have it as a middle name for [name_m]Zachary[/name_m] at the moment. I used to adore [name_m]Elijah[/name_m] but it’s just hit top 100 in the UK and although I’ve not met any [name_m]Elijah[/name_m]'s it feels a bit trendy.

[name_m]Alfred[/name_m] is very vintage but I’m not sure it’s ready for a comeback! I know so many [name_u]Alfie[/name_u]'s here in the UK but not many [name_m]Alfred[/name_m]'s. I know one [name_u]Alfie[/name_u] who’s granddad’s name is [name_m]Alfred[/name_m] so the connection there is sweet but the name in general is so trendy. [name_m]Alfred[/name_m] just doesn’t work for me…

[name_u]Grove[/name_u] and [name_u]Frost[/name_u] are very masculine to me, so just don’t work for a girl.

[name_f]Aquinnah[/name_f] is interesting, not really my style.

I pretty much think anything is game for a middle name!

I wouldn’t use [name_f]Bree[/name_f] on a boy, nor would I used Whimsical as a name. [name_u]Dream[/name_u] and [name_u]Love[/name_u] are a bit tacky.

AS FIRST NAMES

[name_u]Elias[/name_u] - I love many “[name_m]Eli[/name_m]” names and [name_u]Elias[/name_u] is one of the best!
[name_m]Alfred[/name_m] - an ancient [name_m]King[/name_m]. A name of strength and majesty.
[name_u]Grove[/name_u] - better suited for a boy. I would use it in the middle spot.
[name_u]Frost[/name_u] - chilly. What girl would want this for a name? Would she want to be known as cold or frigid?emale -
[name_f]Aquinnah[/name_f] - This Native American place name is pretty but it may have pronunciation and spelling issues.

AS MIDDLE NAMES

[name_m]Alfred[/name_m] - see [name_m]Alfred[/name_m] above. It’s so nice you posted it twice! :slight_smile:
[name_u]Casey[/name_u] - I don’t care for this cutesy name for either gender
[name_u]Day[/name_u] - Would a boy be [name_m]Night[/name_m]? [name_m]How[/name_m] boring.
[name_f]Spring[/name_f] - better suited for a girl
[name_u]Frost[/name_u] - see [name_u]Frost[/name_u] above
[name_u]Elisha[/name_u] - it’s about time that someone used it for a male
[name_u]Grove[/name_u] - see [name_u]Grove[/name_u] above.
[name_m]Vincent[/name_m] - one of my favourite “V” names for a boy
[name_f]Bree[/name_f] - cheesy (literally)
[name_u]Blue[/name_u] - good for a depressed cat
[name_u]Dream[/name_u] - cheesy
[name_u]Love[/name_u] - cheesy
Whimsical - a little too quirky
[name_m]Eugene[/name_m] - a little to clunky for this vintage name lover. You [name_u]Gene[/name_u]!
[name_f]Cleopatra[/name_f] - a one person name
[name_f]Bernadette[/name_f] - love it
[name_f]Melisande[/name_f] - chic and magical
[name_f]Winifred[/name_f] - one of my favourite Welsh names for a girl
[name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] - strong and majestic choice
[name_f]Lillian[/name_f] - ok but I knew a very mean one growing up so it’s not a fave
[name_m]Maxwell[/name_m] - I hope it would be for a male
[name_m]Edmund[/name_m] - a family name for me
[name_m]George[/name_m] - a fine name but like [name_f]Lillian[/name_f] I knew a mean one as a girl.
[name_f]Iris[/name_f] - a mythological and flower name all rolled in one!
