We don’t know if it’s a boy or girl, so thinking of first and middle name options for both that fit the style and “pattern” of Ella Grace and Willow Joy.
We aren’t 100% attached to the pattern of having a “virtue” name for middle names. That was just the way it worked out, and in general I don’t really like most virtue names!! But I liked Grace and Joy.
So if we can think of another one that sounds like a name and not just like we picked a word from the dictionary that would be good, but not essential. I haven’t been able to think of any that work for a boy.
The surname is hyphenated, both starting with M (M-M) so probably avoiding any first or middle names starting with M.
And avoiding anything that kind of spells something out with intitals, like BAMM FEMM etc. So that means probably no middle names starting with vowels.
I like Flynn for a boy, but stuck on a middle name.
And stuck on girl options. Would love to hear your suggestions!
Oh, [name_f]Hope[/name_f]! I’d forgotten about that, was wondering if there were any girls names like [name_f]Grace[/name_f] and [name_f]Joy[/name_f] left that I liked - but I love [name_f]Hope[/name_f] as a name. Don’t know how I didn’t think of that one!!
And [name_u]Valor[/name_u] is an interesting one, that could grow on me!
I like [name_u]Holly[/name_u] - it was one I considered for my first daughter. And it matches with all three having double L’s in their names! That wasn’t intentional with number 2, but maybe I should keep it going now!
For girls, I definitely think [name_f]Hope[/name_f] and [name_f]Faith[/name_f] are really good bets. [name_u]Honor[/name_u] also is now pretty name-y on its own and could maybe work for you? [name_f]My[/name_f] personal favorite (and imo way underrated) honor names for a girl are [name_f]Glory[/name_f] and [name_f]Mercy[/name_f], but I realize those might be a bit of a stretch
Boys are much harder! [name_u]Pax[/name_u] seems like the most obvious one to me, although it’s not my personal style. [name_u]Sage[/name_u] could also work, though most people would probably first get the nature association.
Yes [name_u]Holly[/name_u] and [name_f]Molly[/name_f] were my first thought when I saw “continue the pattern” but then saw no Ms. It’s a nice link but with different endings I don’t think it sounds overly matchy at all!
That wasn’t intentional with number 2, but maybe I should keep it going now!
