Okay, I’m not pregnant yet, but we’ve been discussing names anyway 
DH and I have 100% decided on [name_f]Aria[/name_f] for our daughter’s first name. However, we’re having trouble with the middle name…
I’m kind of leaning toward [name_f]Aria[/name_f] [name_f]Anneliese[/name_f] [name_f]Mae[/name_f]. [name_f]Anneliese[/name_f] to (somewhat) honor my [name_m]German[/name_m] paternal grandmother, [name_f]Elisabeth[/name_f] (I don’t want to flat out use [name_f]Elisabeth[/name_f]… there are way too many of them in my family). [name_f]Mae[/name_f] to honor my maternal grandmother, [name_u]Ollie[/name_u] [name_f]Mae[/name_f].
Is that too chunky? Does it flow? I’m just not too sure about it.
I’d love some suggestions. Maybe other ways to use [name_f]Elisabeth[/name_f] or [name_u]Ollie[/name_u]? (DH hates the name [name_f]Olivia[/name_f]) Or even a way to honor my mother [name_f]Karen[/name_f] [name_f]Diane[/name_f]?
Ack, lots of questions for one post! Sorry!
First of all, [name_f]Aria[/name_f] is a very pretty name. I think [name_f]Aria[/name_f] [name_f]Annelise[/name_f] [name_f]Mae[/name_f] sounds nice. I think it flows well, and sounds nice. There are many ways to incorporate all of those people and names:
[name_f]Elisabeth[/name_f]:
[name_f]Elsa[/name_f]
[name_f]Eliza[/name_f]
[name_f]Beth[/name_f]
[name_f]Bethany[/name_f]
[name_f]Ellie[/name_f]
[name_f]Elle[/name_f]
[name_f]Ella[/name_f]
[name_u]Ollie[/name_u] [name_f]Mae[/name_f]:
[name_f]Olive[/name_f]
[name_f]Leah[/name_f]
[name_u]Lee[/name_u]
[name_f]Mae[/name_f] sounds really cute.
[name_f]Karen[/name_f] [name_f]Diane[/name_f]:
[name_f]Carrie[/name_f]
[name_u]Wren[/name_u]
[name_f]Anna[/name_f]
[name_f]Anne[/name_f]
[name_f]Annie[/name_f]
[name_f]Annabelle[/name_f]
[name_f]Diana[/name_f]
[name_f]Cara[/name_f]
[name_f]Caroline[/name_f]
[name_f]Aria[/name_f] [name_u]Ren[/name_u]
[name_f]Aria[/name_f] [name_m]Eli[/name_m]
[name_f]Aria[/name_f] [name_f]Olive[/name_f]
[name_f]Aria[/name_f] [name_f]Elisa[/name_f]
[name_f]Aria[/name_f] [name_f]Liz[/name_f]
[name_f]Aria[/name_f] [name_f]Dia[/name_f]
[name_f]Hope[/name_f] this helps!
I’ve never heard [name_u]Ollie[/name_u] on a girl/woman! Is it short for anything?
[name_f]Aria[/name_f] [name_f]Anneliese[/name_f] [name_f]Mae[/name_f] is very pretty. I think the flow works well. It is a bit long, but for the amount it will be used in full I don’t imagine that would be a problem.
Others have already listed a number of [name_f]Elisabeth[/name_f], [name_u]Ollie[/name_u] and [name_f]Karen[/name_f] variants so I’ll try not to repeat them.
[name_f]Karen[/name_f] -->
[name_f]Karina[/name_f] was the first one I thought of… very pretty, but maybe hard to pair with [name_f]Aria[/name_f].
[name_f]Kerensa[/name_f]
[name_u]Ollie[/name_u] -->
[name_f]Olivia[/name_f]
[name_f]Ellie[/name_f] (maybe this could sort of honour both [name_u]Ollie[/name_u] and [name_f]Elisabeth[/name_f]?)
[name_f]Elisabeth[/name_f] -->
[name_f]Libby[/name_f]
[name_f]Elise[/name_f]
[name_f]Isabel[/name_f] (maybe a stretch for non-name nerds - I only know about their connection from forums)
So many wonderful choices!! Good thing we still have a while to narrow it down!
[name_u]Ollie[/name_u] isn’t short for anything, she usually went by the whole name [name_u]Ollie[/name_u] [name_f]Mae[/name_f] 
I [name_u]LOVE[/name_u] the name [name_f]Karina[/name_f], I work with a couple sweet, sweet little girls named [name_f]Karina[/name_f] that I adore! Problem is, where I’m from it’s considered mostly a Hispanic name and I’m not so I’m sure how usable it is for us??
And [name_f]Ellie[/name_f]-- I had a dog named [name_f]Ellie[/name_f]… lol
[name_u]Love[/name_u] [name_f]Elise[/name_f], [name_f]Leah[/name_f], [name_u]Wren[/name_u], [name_f]Caroline[/name_f]
Thanks for the suggestions!
