Wow I think all of them are great, what a tough choice. I think my favorite middle names would be [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] and [name_f]Marigold[/name_f]
So I really like [name_f]Ada[/name_f] [name_f]Marigold[/name_f] or [name_f]Clementine[/name_f]
[name_f]Elsie[/name_f] [name_f]Marigold[/name_f]
[name_f]Elsie[/name_f] [name_f]Clementine[/name_f]
[name_f]Edie[/name_f] [name_f]Clementine[/name_f]
[name_f]Lucy[/name_f] [name_f]Clementine[/name_f]
[name_f]Lucy[/name_f] [name_f]Marigold[/name_f]
I think my favorite combination would have to be [name_f]Ada[/name_f] [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] or [name_f]Edie[/name_f] [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] but I love all of them.
Thanks cloudberry! It’s nice to hear some positive feedback and suggestions!
My main problem with a middle for [name_f]Ada[/name_f] is that with a lazy Australian accent it sounds a bit like I ate a … so I was trying to avoid a middle name of a thing you could eat. Does that make sense?
I now live in the U.K. so I’m sure it’s not too much of a problem but all my family and friends are Australian and I don’t want them to be thinking of this!
Haha I thought the same thing about [name_f]Ada[/name_f] [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] unfortunately. What about [name_f]Ada[/name_f] [name_f]Ruth[/name_f]? I also like [name_f]Elsie[/name_f] but with [name_f]Marigold[/name_f] it might be too cutesy. I would like [name_f]Elsie[/name_f] [name_f]Ruth[/name_f]. I voted [name_f]Lucy[/name_f] [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] as it’s a nice mix of cute, vintage, and classic.

I love [name_f]Lucy[/name_f] [name_f]Clementine[/name_f]! I didn’t think of the [name_f]Ada[/name_f]/ate-a thing but I see it now. I’d like [name_f]Ada[/name_f] [name_f]Susannah[/name_f] or [name_f]Ada[/name_f] [name_f]Josephine[/name_f].
All great options though. I just like [name_f]Lucy[/name_f] best with [name_f]Maggie[/name_f].
Voted [name_f]Edie[/name_f], but love [name_f]Ada[/name_f] as well. All your choices are lovely though
All lovely names but I wouldn’t go for the combo of [name_f]Ada[/name_f] [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] as it sounds slightly like “Lady [name_f]Penelope[/name_f]” from Thunderbirds.

I really like [name_f]Lucy[/name_f] [name_f]Clementine[/name_f]!
[name_f]Elsie[/name_f] [name_f]Marigold[/name_f] is spunky, not super common, and makes a GREAT sibling set with M@ggie R0se.
All of your options are beautiful. My personal favorite is [name_f]Edie[/name_f] [name_f]Clementine[/name_f]. I feel like [name_f]Edie[/name_f] is short and spunky, and [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] is softer and long, so they contrast each other nicely.
I adore [name_f]Edie[/name_f] [name_f]Clementine[/name_f]. I have had [name_f]Edie[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] “[name_f]Edie[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f]” on my short list for years. [name_f]Lucy[/name_f] [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] would be my second choice.
[name_f]Lucy[/name_f]! [name_f]Maggie[/name_f] and [name_f]Lucy[/name_f] is darling.
[name_f]Elsie[/name_f] [name_f]Marigold[/name_f] is what really stood out to me! What a sunny, pleasant name. I don’t have a problem seeing it on a grown person either. Tbh it’s probably the only combo I haven’t seen on nb before. Not that that takes away anything from the other names, they are all nice, but they don’t strike me as special in quite the same way.
I voted [name_f]Elsie[/name_f] [name_f]Marigold[/name_f], but I am equally into [name_f]Lucy[/name_f] [name_f]Clementine[/name_f]. Also, I think [name_f]Ada[/name_f] [name_f]Marigold[/name_f] would be gorgeous, as would [name_f]Clara[/name_f] [name_f]Pearl[/name_f].
Thank you so much everyone for taking the time to vote and reply. It’s so nice to hear positive feedback and some suggestions about the names we have chosen. I think it will be a difficult choice but hopefully when we see baby and if t is a girl, one will stand out! I will definitely let you know what we have chosen on the birth announcements forum in [name_f]February[/name_f].
@sarah1800 Thank you for the suggestion of [name_f]Elsie[/name_f] [name_f]Ruth[/name_f]. I actually hadn’t thought of that combo.
@cactusgram Thank you! [name_f]Ada[/name_f] [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] is very pretty. I also really love [name_f]Maggie[/name_f] and [name_f]Lucy[/name_f] together. I really liked it at the start of my pregnancy, went off it a bit but just in the past few days I’m really loving it again!
@angiie, whitegardenia, drasticgame and pacifica, thank you for your positive feedback. It’s really helpful.
@168brl, thank you, I didn’t know about thunderbirds. Many of your suggestions are names we had considered so it’s good to see we are on the right track. [name_f]Dulcie[/name_f] is a particular standout!
@lovemysweeties, such a coincidence, you have good taste! 
@wandsworth, thank you!
@justthinkin, thank you for your feedback about [name_f]Elsie[/name_f] [name_f]Marigold[/name_f]. It has me loving this combo again!
@yellowplums, thank you for your [name_f]Clara[/name_f] [name_f]Pearl[/name_f] suggestion. It has given me another combo to think about!
I picked [name_f]Lucy[/name_f] [name_f]Clementine[/name_f]. Might I also suggest [name_f]Lucy[/name_f] [name_f]Pearl[/name_f]?
I had to make an account just to say I’m having a girl in three weeks and totally want to name her [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] [name_f]Lucy[/name_f]… So I’m totally biased and I bet you can guess what name I chose in the poll haha
I think [name_f]Lucy[/name_f] [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] is gorgeous!
I also think [name_f]Maggie[/name_f] and [name_f]Georgia[/name_f] sound cute together.
[name_f]Georgia[/name_f] [name_u]Wren[/name_u]?
