Struggling to pick a middle name for Leora

Hi!

Currently 33wks pregnant with our second daughter, we’ve known her first name since we found out she was a girl; Leora. Her sisters name is Alina Amara.

I don’t like super common middle names and just like with our firstborn, we’re stumped when it comes to middle names.

Ideas I have so far:
• Leora Ivy
• Leora Soleil (pronounced: sol-ay)
• Leora Saige
• Leora Faye
• Leora Selene

Thoughts on this list or is there any other names you’d think we’d like or would work ?

I think [name_f]Leora[/name_f] [name_f]Soleil[/name_f] and [name_f]Leora[/name_f] [name_f]Selene[/name_f] feel the most unexpected (in a good way!). [name_f]Selene[/name_f] in particular has a similar feeling to [name_f]Amara[/name_f] for me.

[name_f]Leora[/name_f] [name_u]Piper[/name_u]
[name_f]Leora[/name_f] [name_u]Willow[/name_u]
[name_f]Leora[/name_f] [name_f]Iris[/name_f]
[name_f]Leora[/name_f] [name_f]Meadow[/name_f]
[name_f]Leora[/name_f] [name_u]Zoe[/name_u]
[name_f]Leora[/name_f] [name_u]Jade[/name_u]
[name_f]Leora[/name_f] [name_u]Simone[/name_u]
[name_f]Leora[/name_f] [name_u]Eden[/name_u]
[name_f]Leora[/name_f] [name_f]Elise[/name_f]
[name_f]Leora[/name_f] [name_f]Jasmine[/name_f]
[name_f]Leora[/name_f] [name_f]Felicity[/name_f]

[name_f]Leora[/name_f] [name_f]Sophie[/name_f]
[name_f]Leora[/name_f] [name_f]Opal[/name_f]
[name_f]Leora[/name_f] [name_u]Cadence[/name_u]
[name_f]Leora[/name_f] [name_f]Daphne[/name_f]

[name_f]Beautiful[/name_f] names! I love the names [name_f]Ivy[/name_f], [name_u]Saige[/name_u] (spelled that way!), and [name_f]Faye[/name_f]. I personally think that [name_f]Faye[/name_f] matches the gentle [name_f]Amara[/name_f] best. [name_f]Leora[/name_f] [name_f]Faye[/name_f] is such a sweet mystical name and I love it!

[name_f]Leora[/name_f] [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] is so beautiful! :blush:

I love [name_f]Leora[/name_f] [name_f]Soleil[/name_f] - that would be my pick

[name_m]Hi[/name_m] there.

Ooh, I love [name_f]Leora[/name_f]! It goes very nicely w/Alina too.

Here are my thoughts on your mn list:

[name_f]Leora[/name_f] Ivy-I think that this flows well. I’m just not into [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] personally. It kind of reminds me of I.V. [name_m]Even[/name_m] though the botanical association is quite nice.

[name_f]Leora[/name_f] Soleil-Soleil is lovely. It’s not the first name that I’d pair w/Leora, just because they feel like slightly different styles. But it flows nicely anyway, & is fairly unique.

[name_f]Leora[/name_f] Saige-This one doesn’t excite me that much. Not sure why I don’t like [name_u]Saige[/name_u]. If anything, I’d do [name_u]Sage[/name_u]. [name_m]Just[/name_m] because that’s how the herb is spelled.

[name_f]Leora[/name_f] Faye-This doesn’t do much for me, but it’s not bad.

[name_f]Leora[/name_f] Selene-Same as above.

A few other mn ideas:

[name_f]Leora[/name_f] Aviva(!!!)

[name_f]Leora[/name_f] [name_f]Azalea[/name_f]

[name_f]Leora[/name_f] [name_f]Daphne[/name_f]

[name_f]Leora[/name_f] [name_f]Eliana[/name_f]

[name_f]Leora[/name_f] [name_u]Indigo[/name_u]

[name_f]Leora[/name_f] [name_f]Josefina[/name_f]

[name_f]Leora[/name_f] [name_f]Liliana[/name_f]

[name_f]Leora[/name_f] [name_f]Magnolia[/name_f]

[name_f]Leora[/name_f] [name_f]Sofie[/name_f]

[name_f]Leora[/name_f] [name_u]Vivian[/name_u]

[name_f]Leora[/name_f] [name_f]Violet[/name_f]

I love [name_f]Leora[/name_f] [name_f]Aviva[/name_f] the most. But I also really like [name_f]Leora[/name_f] [name_f]Liliana[/name_f]. Especially w/Alina [name_f]Amara[/name_f].

[name_f]Hope[/name_f] this helps. :slight_smile:

I think that [name_f]Leora[/name_f] [name_f]Faye[/name_f] is fantastic!

[name_f]Alina[/name_f] [name_f]Amara[/name_f] is so pretty and [name_f]Leora[/name_f] is beautiful!!

[name_f]Leora[/name_f] [name_f]Faye[/name_f] and [name_f]Leora[/name_f] [name_f]Soleil[/name_f] are gorgeous!!

Some suggestions:

[name_f]Leora[/name_f] [name_f]Violet[/name_f]
[name_f]Leora[/name_f] [name_f]Pearl[/name_f]
[name_f]Leora[/name_f] [name_f]Juno[/name_f]
[name_f]Leora[/name_f] [name_u]Sasha[/name_u]
[name_f]Leora[/name_f] [name_f]Mirabel[/name_f]
[name_f]Leora[/name_f] [name_f]Mavis[/name_f]
[name_f]Leora[/name_f] [name_u]Seren[/name_u]
[name_f]Leora[/name_f] [name_f]Primrose[/name_f]
[name_f]Leora[/name_f] [name_f]Ismay[/name_f]

[name_f]Leora[/name_f] [name_f]Soleil[/name_f] is brilliant!

I think the middles that work best with [name_f]Alina[/name_f] [name_f]Amara[/name_f] are [name_f]Soleil[/name_f] or [name_f]Selene[/name_f]!

[name_f]Leora[/name_f] [name_f]Soleil[/name_f] or [name_f]Leora[/name_f] [name_f]Faye[/name_f] are both great!
