Short middle names for Clementine?

We love the first name [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] but are having an especially hard time coming up with a middle name. I love [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] but it just seems like too much name. It is, as my husband put it, a “Scantron nightmare.” I would love to find a short middle name that would flow well with our last name (starts with M, 2 syllables, ends in -er).

Names that I love but are out for various reasons: [name_f]Grace[/name_f], [name_f]Rose[/name_f], [name_f]Ella[/name_f]

I am also hoping to avoid other botanical names and/or colors.

Any suggestions? Is [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] M—er too much name?

Help!

I don’t think it’s too much, but my son’s name is definitely a Scantron nightmare. Unless there’s a place for a second middle on there now. [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] is gorgeous. :slight_smile: Suggestions anyway:

[name_f]Ada[/name_f]
[name_f]Joy[/name_f]
[name_f]Zoe[/name_f]
[name_f]Eve[/name_f]
[name_f]Eva[/name_f]
[name_f]Hope[/name_f]
[name_f]Ana[/name_f]
[name_f]Faye[/name_f]
[name_f]Mae[/name_f]
[name_f]Bee[/name_f]
[name_f]Mia[/name_f]
[name_f]Nora[/name_f]

[name_f]Clementine[/name_f]:

[name_f]Alice[/name_f]
[name_f]Jane[/name_f]

I also like [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f].

I prefer names with various syllable counts, and [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] M-er is 3-3-2, so that’s why I don’t like it.

Some mn suggestions for [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] (and sorry for any repeats): [name_f]Ada[/name_f], [name_f]Blyth[/name_f], [name_u]Wren[/name_u], [name_f]Lace[/name_f], [name_f]Jade[/name_f], [name_f]Anne[/name_f], [name_f]Beth[/name_f], [name_f]Kate[/name_f], [name_f]Joy[/name_f], [name_f]Maude[/name_f], [name_f]Ida[/name_f], [name_f]Eve[/name_f], [name_f]Faye[/name_f], [name_f]Liz[/name_f], [name_f]Gail[/name_f], [name_f]Gwen[/name_f], [name_f]Ava[/name_f], and [name_f]Pearl[/name_f].

My favorites are [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] [name_f]Beth[/name_f] and [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] [name_f]Ava[/name_f].

I think [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] is very pretty, though like your husband said it would be a scantron nightmare :slight_smile: other than that though I think it would work. I would suggest something classic but relatively short like:

[name_u]June[/name_u]
[name_f]Anna[/name_f]
[name_f]Belle[/name_f] ( maybe too cutesy!)

[name_f]Neve[/name_f]
[name_f]Mae[/name_f]/[name_f]Maggie[/name_f]
