Please help me with my list

Girl Names
1

I found out on Mother’s [name]Day[/name] that I am pregnant with baby #2. As I already mentioned in another post, boys name is already decided. A boy will be [name]Micah[/name] (a name we both love) [name]Osvaldo[/name] (DH’s middle name), We can’t seem to agree on a name for a girl though, so our plan is that we each get to come up with a list of three names. Of those, the other gets to veto two of them and then it’s between the two that we have left. The problem is that I like a lot more than 3 names, so I need some help coming up with the best three please.

Here are the first names I like

[name]Mirabelle[/name]/[name]Mirabella[/name]
[name]Magnolia[/name]
[name]Mattea[/name]
[name]Maisie[/name]
[name]Maren[/name]
[name]Marina[/name]
[name]Mercy[/name]
[name]Mirielle[/name]

Our list needs to include middles, so if you could help me come up with the best combos, that would be great. These are the middles that I’ve been thinking about, though I’m pretty open to suggestions

[name]Joy[/name]
[name]Joyce[/name]
[name]Evelyn[/name]
[name]Frances[/name]

[name]Feel[/name] free to suggest other first names too. A few things, we want a first name that starts with M, no middles that start with A, our last name starts with D and is two syllables, and our first daughter’s name is [name]Madelaine[/name] [name]Amelia[/name].

[name]TIA[/name] for your help!

[name]Mirabelle[/name]/[name]Mirabella[/name]: It’s pretty… a little too frilly for me but I love the nickname [name]Mira[/name].

[name]Magnolia[/name]: It’s a lovely name, but may be a little too over the top. I like it though! I love [name]Magnolia[/name] [name]Frances[/name] or [name]Magnolia[/name] [name]Evelyn[/name].

[name]Mattea[/name]: I think [name]Mattea[/name] is too close to [name]Madelaine[/name] (both can shorten to [name]Maddie[/name]/[name]Mattie[/name])…

[name]Maisie[/name]: [name]Way[/name] too much of a nickname, especially with the classic and elegant [name]Madelaine[/name].

[name]Maren[/name]: [name]How[/name] would you be pronouncing it? It’s not my favorite on your list…

[name]Marina[/name]: I really like [name]Marina[/name]! [name]Marina[/name] [name]Frances[/name] would be wonderful.

[name]Mercy[/name]: It’s just too much of a word. I hear someone begging for ‘mercy’, which isn’t the best association.

[name]Mirielle[/name]: [name]Do[/name] you mean [name]Mireille[/name]? It’s a French name, pronounced like mee-[name]RAY[/name]. Otherwise, what about Mirele, [name]Mirella[/name], [name]Marielle[/name]…?

The top three I would pick are: [name]Marina[/name], [name]Mirabelle[/name], and [name]Magnolia[/name] (though it would be [name]Mireille[/name]). I think [name]Marina[/name] goes best with [name]Madelaine[/name] [name]Amelia[/name] (lovely!). Hm, I think [name]Magnolia[/name] might actually be too close to [name]Madelaine[/name], with the [name]Mag[/name]/Mad first syllables…

Combos:

[name]Marina[/name] [name]Claire[/name]
[name]Marina[/name] [name]Eloise[/name]
[name]Marina[/name] [name]Celeste[/name]
[name]Marina[/name] [name]Clementine[/name]
[name]Marina[/name] [name]Simone[/name]
[name]Marina[/name] [name]Violet[/name]
[name]Marina[/name] [name]Maeve[/name]
[name]Marina[/name] [name]Ivy[/name]

[name]Mirabelle[/name] [name]Iris[/name]
[name]Mirabelle[/name] [name]Charlotte[/name]
[name]Mirabelle[/name] [name]Sylvie[/name]
[name]Mirabelle[/name] [name]Margaret[/name]
[name]Mirabelle[/name] [name]Ruby[/name]

[name]Magnolia[/name] [name]Caroline[/name]
[name]Magnolia[/name] [name]Eleanor[/name]
[name]Magnolia[/name] [name]Sophie[/name]
[name]Magnolia[/name] [name]Jane[/name]

First names:

[name]Miriam[/name]
[name]Milena[/name]
[name]Marianne[/name]
[name]Maria[/name]
[name]Melia[/name]
[name]Melisande[/name]
[name]Marguerite[/name]
[name]Marietta[/name]
[name]Maeve[/name]
[name]Morwenna[/name]

[name]Marina[/name] and [name]Micah[/name] is such a cute bro-sis combination. [name]Marina[/name] [name]Frances[/name] and [name]Micha[/name] [name]Osvaldo[/name]. Sounds cute to me!!

[name]Hi[/name]

I like [name]Mirabelle[/name] and [name]Maisie[/name]. [name]Maisie[/name] is a lot cuter and girlier than [name]Madeline[/name] imo. [name]Madeline[/name] is a little dated. Quite a few Madelines when I was growing up and I’m 43.

[name]Mirabelle[/name]/[name]Mirabella[/name] - I like this name a lot. The nickname [name]Mira[/name] is adorable. I like [name]Mirabelle[/name] more because it is a bit less frilly.
[name]Magnolia[/name] - I love this name. It might be a bit close to your other daughter’s name if you use nicknames [name]Maddie[/name] and [name]Maggie[/name].
[name]Mattea[/name] - too close to [name]Madelaine[/name] for me.
[name]Maisie[/name] - I love this name as well. I like it better as a nickname for [name]Margaret[/name] though.
[name]Maren[/name] - for some reason I’m not a huge fan of this, it lacks character in my mind.
[name]Marina[/name] - [name]Love[/name] this name. Cute, feminine, great meaning.
[name]Mercy[/name] - This is one of my guilty pleasure names. I really like it. It’s a bit different than [name]Madelaine[/name] but I can see them together.
[name]Mirielle[/name] - prefer [name]Mirabelle[/name]/[name]Mirabella[/name] or [name]Mariel[/name].

So, my three favorites from your list, that work best with [name]Madelaine[/name], in my opinion are [name]Mirabelle[/name], [name]Marina[/name] and [name]Mercy[/name]. I love all of your middle name options. I prefer [name]Joy[/name] to [name]Joyce[/name], because it sounds less dated, and I adore [name]Frances[/name] and [name]Evelyn[/name]. My favorite combos:

[name]Mirabelle[/name] [name]Joy[/name]
[name]Marina[/name] [name]Frances[/name]
[name]Marina[/name] [name]Joy[/name]
[name]Mercy[/name] [name]Evelyn[/name]

Thanks, but I don’t need opinions on [name]Madelaine[/name]. She already exists :slight_smile:

[name]Iris[/name], I did mean [name]Mireille[/name], just apparently can’t type.

Freckles, is [name]Magnolia[/name] still too close if we don’t plan to use nicknames? [name]Madelaine[/name] is never called [name]Maddie[/name] (despite what my screen name suggests) because DH is a stickler for the use of a person’s full name.

ok, so [name]Marina[/name] [name]Frances[/name] will definitely be one of the names on my list. I’m still undecided on the other two though. I’m worried that [name]Mirabelle[/name] [name]Joy[/name] might be too much since [name]Mirabelle[/name] means wondrous and [name]Joy[/name] means happiness…is “wondrous happiness” a little over the top?

DH has latched onto the name [name]Marabelle[/name] instead of [name]Mirabelle[/name]. I’m not in love with it, but I don’t exactly hate it either. Is [name]Mara[/name] or [name]Marah[/name] better? What would be a good middle?
