Polls: middle names for new short list

Girl Names
1

After my last poll, the 3 names most liked on the new short list were [name_f]Isidora[/name_f], [name_f]Octavia[/name_f], and [name_f]Esmeralda[/name_f]. So I’m staring with these 3 when it comes to creating combos. I’ll definitely be coming up with combos for the rest of the short list too, it’s just easier to do a little at a time right now.

What’s your favorite middle for [name_f]Isidora[/name_f], [name_f]Octavia[/name_f], and [name_f]Esmeralda[/name_f]? Please read all three polls before voting since some middle names are repeated among the 3.
Any suggestions? [name_f]Esmeralda[/name_f] is the name I’m struggling with most because it’s completely new to my list.
Other names that are middle possibilities:
[name_f]Magdalen[/name_f], [name_f]Daphne[/name_f], [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f], [name_f]Thallo[/name_f], [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f], [name_f]Winifred[/name_f], [name_f]Altalune[/name_f], [name_f]Madrigal[/name_f], [name_f]Isolde[/name_f], [name_f]Delphine[/name_f], [name_f]Corisande[/name_f], [name_f]Enid[/name_f], [name_f]Rhiannon[/name_f], [name_f]Imogen[/name_f], Lisen, [name_f]Deirdre[/name_f], [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f], [name_f]Ione[/name_f], [name_f]Yvaine[/name_f], [name_f]Calanthe[/name_f], [name_f]Agnes[/name_f], [name_u]Florentine[/name_u], and [name_f]Marjorie[/name_f].

Names we can’t/won’t use in the middle for these names in the polls:
Names that end in the letter A
[name_f]Harriet[/name_f], it’s too similar to our surname

@elanorelle I’m honestly so pleasantly surprised that people are liking that combo so far. I mean I like it obviously, i jist wasn’t confident anyone else would.

I’m not quite sure what it is, but those names just pair so perfectly! I suppose it may just be the sounds – the sounds really complement each other well.

I voted for [name_f]Isidora[/name_f] [name_f]Thisbe[/name_f], [name_f]Octavia[/name_f] [name_f]Rosamund[/name_f] and [name_f]Esmeralda[/name_f] [name_f]Xanthe[/name_f] (all gorgeous!). I like [name_f]Octavia[/name_f] [name_f]Thisbe[/name_f] too, but it was my favourite middle for [name_f]Isidora[/name_f] so that one won instead.

Thank you everyone for your responses and votes!

It’s nice to see that 2-3 combos for each name seem to be recieved really well.

Xanthe and [name_f]Nadine[/name_f] are nearly tied as middles for [name_f]Esmeralda[/name_f]. :exploding_head:

Guess I missed this during my recent absence…

Esmeralda [name_f]Xanthe[/name_f] is absolutely stunning. Both of these names have been on my list in the past and this combo never occurred to me. It is so perfect! [name_f]Esmeralda[/name_f] is one of those names I could never get quite right and therefore threw out half for the frustration of it, but you’ve clearly cracked the code.

Isadora [name_f]Thisbe[/name_f] and [name_f]Octavia[/name_f] [name_f]Sigritt[/name_f] were my other votes. All these names are so lovely.
