I’m really loving [name_f]Edith[/name_f], but I can’t locate the perfect middle name for it. Before, I had [name_f]Edith[/name_f] Raffaella on my list, but I realized my favorite boy name has a similar middle name: [name_m]Rafferty[/name_m]. I can’t use both [name_m]Rafferty[/name_m] and Raffaella obviously, so I’ve chosen to keep just [name_m]Rafferty[/name_m]. So I’m lacking a combo for [name_f]Edith[/name_f].
Ultimately I’d like a middle name that has spunk, or maybe an international flavor to it. Nothing extremely vintage, because [name_f]Edith[/name_f] is already an old-lady name and I don’t want the combo to seem too drab. Any ideas?
claireelise: I like [name_f]Alessandra[/name_f], [name_f]Natalia[/name_f], and [name_f]Francesca[/name_f] from your suggestions, but I personally cannot use them because my cousin has already used similar names: [name_f]Natalie[/name_f], [name_m]Alexander[/name_m], [name_m]Francisco[/name_m] for her children and I would feel as though I’m copying. The others are not really my style.
I have a little [name_f]Edith[/name_f]! We called her [name_f]Edith[/name_f] [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] as originally we had chosen [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] but when she was born, it didn’t suit her. Her dad liked it though so we compromised.
@judyariel: Thanks! I like [name_f]Mattea[/name_f] and [name_f]Bronwen[/name_f] from your ideas.
@bungo: [name_f]Edith[/name_f] [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] is lovely, congrats on her name! From your ideas I like [name_f]Valencia[/name_f], [name_f]Imogen[/name_f], and [name_f]Allegra[/name_f]. @bibliophile: Thank you, I’m rather in love with the combo too XD From your ideas I’m liking: [name_f]Reverie[/name_f], [name_f]Arabella[/name_f], and [name_f]Ceridwen[/name_f].
[name_f]Edit[/name_f]: though, I’m not sure I should use another -wen name if [name_f]Arwen[/name_f] is one of my favorites too?
@southern.maple: Thanks I like [name_f]Zenobia[/name_f], [name_f]Sunniva[/name_f], [name_f]Azalea[/name_f] and [name_f]Allegra[/name_f] from your ideas.
@acoker95: Thanks for your many suggestions. I liked [name_f]Viviana[/name_f], [name_f]Delphine[/name_f], and [name_u]Juniper[/name_u].
@isabellemarie: Thank you for answering - I like [name_f]Edith[/name_f] [name_f]Catalina[/name_f] + [name_u]Valentine[/name_u].
@mama89: I like [name_u]Juniper[/name_u], and I like [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] as a name, but not paired with [name_f]Edith[/name_f].
If you want something modern and spunky perhaps a nature name…
[name_f]Edith[/name_f] Swan, [name_f]Edith[/name_f] [name_u]Day[/name_u],
[name_f]Edith[/name_f] [name_f]Azalea[/name_f] (I think someone else may have suggested this one too)
or [name_f]Edith[/name_f] [name_u]Rain[/name_u]
Despite saying that vintage was not your first choice for a middle, I’ve noticed that you have liked a lot of vintage and etherial names… [name_f]Edith[/name_f] is a perfect name to play up a great underused middle name…
[name_f]Edith[/name_f] Lovelace, [name_f]Edith[/name_f] [name_f]Novella[/name_f] or [name_f]Edith[/name_f] Zenneta
Pure spunk middles:
[name_f]Edith[/name_f] [name_u]Fifer[/name_u], [name_f]Edith[/name_f] [name_u]Wynn[/name_u], [name_f]Edith[/name_f] [name_f]Tinley[/name_f], or [name_f]Edith[/name_f] [name_u]Marlowe[/name_u]
Or romantic names like Rafellea:
[name_f]Edith[/name_f] [name_f]Luciella[/name_f], [name_f]Edith[/name_f] [name_f]Marilla[/name_f] or
[name_f]Edith[/name_f] [name_f]Marcella[/name_f]
No matter what you pick [name_f]Edith[/name_f] is so classic and darling that nearly any middle could work:)
@carolinemchd: Thanks! I liked [name_f]Pomeline[/name_f], [name_f]Marcheline[/name_f], [name_f]Anais[/name_f], and [name_f]Jemima[/name_f].
@jacklyn: Mainly by “no vintage” I was trying to avoid names that are sort of clunky as [name_f]Edith[/name_f] can be. For example I do like names like [name_f]Matilda[/name_f], [name_f]Winnifred[/name_f], or [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] but paired with [name_f]Edith[/name_f], that vibe would be too strong for my tastes. Thank you for your suggestions, I liked [name_f]Azalea[/name_f], [name_u]Marlowe[/name_u], [name_f]Marilla[/name_f] and [name_f]Marcella[/name_f].
I like [name_f]Zenobia[/name_f], [name_f]Sunniva[/name_f], [name_f]Azalea[/name_f] and [name_f]Allegra[/name_f] from your ideas.
