[name_f]Ivy[/name_f] [name_f]Augusta[/name_f] [name_f]Caroline[/name_f] is really beautiful. Generally I prefer two middles & I think in your case they flow better.
I [name_f]LOVE[/name_f] [name_f]Augusta[/name_f]! I especially love [name_f]Augusta[/name_f] as a mn to a fn that starts with a vowel (I had [name_f]Eloise[/name_f] [name_f]Augusta[/name_f] in my top 2 for many years). [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] [name_f]Augusta[/name_f] [name_f]Caroline[/name_f] is really lovely.
@[name_f]Belle[/name_f] - Thank you! I figured most of the Berries would tend to gravitate towards longer combos.
@[name_f]Lucia[/name_f] - Thanks! I just love [name_f]Augusta[/name_f]. I think it’s stellar in any combo, but in this combo it especially shines. And [name_f]Eloise[/name_f] [name_f]Augusta[/name_f] is beautiful!
I like both longer and shorter combos, I just go for the side that sounds the best. [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] [name_f]Caroline[/name_f] sounds a bit too short for me, so that’s why I picked [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] [name_f]Augusta[/name_f] [name_f]Caroline[/name_f] 
@[name_f]Catelin[/name_f] - Thank you! I don’t really have much of a preference between 1 or 2 middle names either, but I will admit that [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] [name_f]Augusta[/name_f] [name_f]Caroline[/name_f] does sound maybe a tiny bit prettier
What about [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] [name_m]Augustine[/name_m]? It combines both if you want just one middle name…although [name_f]Augusta[/name_f] is lovely!
@kdpace - I think [name_m]Augustine[/name_m] feels a little bit masculine, but I do like the combo overall. Thanks!
For me, [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] [name_f]Caroline[/name_f] alone is perfect. Beautiful clear sound. It’s preppy as can be ([name_f]Caroline[/name_f] [name_u]Kennedy[/name_u] and the [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] League) but not in a goofy, obvious way. Once you add [name_f]Augusta[/name_f] into the mix, it takes on more of a haughty royal quality. [name_m]Just[/name_m] my opinion, sorry if that’s harsh. I enjoy all three names separately, but as a trio they feel way too upper-crust to me.
Of the two, I prefer [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] [name_f]Caroline[/name_f]. I’m a huge fan of double middles, but [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] [name_f]Augusta[/name_f] [name_f]Caroline[/name_f] just wasn’t doing it for me. I think [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] [name_f]Caroline[/name_f] is very pretty and charming.
I much prefer two middles but [name_f]Augusta[/name_f] is not my cup of tea…
[name_f]Ivy[/name_f] [name_f]Caroline[/name_f] is very pretty!
[name_f]Ivy[/name_f] 1or2syllablemiddlename [name_f]Caroline[/name_f] would get my vote!
I actually have [name_f]Augusta[/name_f] [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] on one of my lists- it was once one of my top names. But back to your combinations. I voted for [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] [name_f]Caroline[/name_f]. [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] [name_f]Augusta[/name_f] [name_f]Caroline[/name_f] has nice flow, but it is just too lengthy for me. I would probably make a combo that has a 2-3-2 syllabic rhythm or 2-3-1.
[name_m]Just[/name_m] the combination [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] [name_f]Augusta[/name_f] is absolutely magical in itself. I rarely use that term to describe a name, but it truly is - so summery and wonderful. I think of a little girl with dark curly hair, with bare feet and wearing flowers, running around a little stream in [name_u]June[/name_u]. It’s beautiful.
[name_f]Caroline[/name_f] as a 2nd middle adds a regal, grown up flair but I don’t feel it’s entirely necessary. [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] [name_f]Augusta[/name_f] [name_f]Caroline[/name_f]. She’s definitely a princess.
[name_f]Ivy[/name_f] [name_f]Caroline[/name_f] is lovely, but it’s not even a close match.
Thank you everyone! I’d love to get a couple more votes…
I voted for [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] [name_f]Augusta[/name_f] [name_f]Caroline[/name_f], but only if your surname is two syllables or less. If it’s more than that I change my vote, it would just be too much name for me.
@mrs_darling - My LN is two syllables but starts AND ends with N, so I’m a bit worried about the end of [name_f]Caroline[/name_f] running into the N of my last name.
[name_f]Ivy[/name_f] [name_f]Augusta[/name_f] [name_f]Caroline[/name_f] N______n or [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] [name_f]Caroline[/name_f] [name_f]Augusta[/name_f] N_______n
So maybe I could change the order to [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] [name_f]Caroline[/name_f] [name_f]Augusta[/name_f]? I’m not expecting any time soon, just collecting and planning very, very far ahead.
[name_f]Ivy[/name_f] [name_f]Augusta[/name_f] [name_f]Caroline[/name_f] is a dignified & pretty name
This exactly.
Also, if I’m allowed to make a suggestion, I think [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] [name_f]Caroline[/name_f] [name_f]Juliette[/name_f] is very pretty.
[name_f]Ivy[/name_f] [name_f]Augusta[/name_f] [name_f]Caroline[/name_f] is stunning!
I use double middle names and if I had family to honor with [name_f]Augusta[/name_f], I’d use this in an instant! lol
I really am not a fan of two middles. [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] [name_f]Caroline[/name_f] is adorable in itself.
