Think-Tank: middles for Beatrix, Philippa, Persephone

brittanyanitarose · March 25, 2018, 11:48am

Earlier this week I made a thread to help me narrow my list of first name picks, that thread resulted with the names [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f], [name_f]Philippa[/name_f], and [name_f]Persephone[/name_f] on top.

Now I need help coming up with potential combos of first and middle names for these! I’ll list all options below. [name_m]Don[/name_m]'t be afraid to create combos with two middle names, it is a common practice in my family with girls (I myself have two middles.)

Keeping in mind this is a name for my sibset with son [name_m]Archimedes[/name_m] ([name_m]Archie[/name_m]) [name_m]Theodore[/name_m].

First Names: [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f], [name_f]Philippa[/name_f], [name_f]Persephone[/name_f]

Middle Names: [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f], [name_f]Philippa[/name_f], [name_f]Yvaine[/name_f], [name_f]Hypatia[/name_f], [name_f]Phaedra[/name_f], [name_f]Berenice[/name_f], [name_f]Galatea[/name_f], [name_f]Ariadne[/name_f], [name_f]Dorothea[/name_f], [name_f]Elowen[/name_f], [name_f]Thisbe[/name_f], [name_f]Elspeth[/name_f], [name_f]Rosamund[/name_f], [name_f]Eponine[/name_f], [name_f]Odessa[/name_f], [name_u]Juniper[/name_u], [name_f]Andromeda, [/name_f][name_f]Lilith[/name_f], [name_f]Cassiopeia[/name_f], [name_f]Xanthe[/name_f], [name_f]Matilda[/name_f], [name_f]Isolde[/name_f], [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f], [name_f]Odette[/name_f], [name_f]Penelope[/name_f], [name_f]Olympia[/name_f], [name_f]Minerva[/name_f], [name_f]Primrose[/name_f], [name_f]Isadora[/name_f]

[name_f]Yvaine[/name_f] is one of my favorites for double middles.

[name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] [name_f]Hypatia[/name_f] [name_f]Isolde[/name_f] (I think [name_f]Yvaine[/name_f] could work here too)

I really really like the combo of [name_f]Rosamund[/name_f] [name_f]Xanthe[/name_f] oh my goodness. I’m thinking [name_f]Rosamund[/name_f] [name_f]Thisbe[/name_f] could be nice as well. [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] [name_f]Yvaine[/name_f] is great too and I don’t think I considered them together before!

Oh also! I’m open to middle names not listed here so don’t feel limited if you think of something!

cactusgram · March 25, 2018, 5:44pm

[name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] [name_f]Primrose[/name_f]!

brittanyanitarose · March 25, 2018, 9:11pm

A great suggestion, thank you!

Summs · March 25, 2018, 10:18pm

[name_m]Archimedes[/name_m] ([name_m]Archie[/name_m]) [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] and [name_f]Persephone[/name_f] [name_f]Galatea[/name_f]

I’m liking the 4 syllable first names. I would choose one mn, since your son only has one and because the fn are long.

brittanyanitarose · March 27, 2018, 1:50pm

[name_f]Philippa[/name_f] [name_f]Elspeth[/name_f] is very nice!
I also liked [name_f]Persephone[/name_f] [name_f]Elowen[/name_f] [name_f]Ariadne[/name_f] (I had [name_f]Persephone[/name_f] [name_f]Elowen[/name_f] floating around in my signature for awhile there.) [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] [name_f]Odessa[/name_f] is great too.

brittanyanitarose · March 27, 2018, 1:58pm

I like the 4 syllable names together too! That’s originally what I was shooting for and somehow wound up with [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] and [name_f]Phillipa[/name_f] in my top 3. I’m what happened.

I’m pretty open to doing just one middle but an still not opposed to two, it’s a family tradition but not one strictly observed by everyone so we’re playing it fast and loose woth the middles right now.

[name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] and [name_f]Rosamund[/name_f] are so good together, strong but still a bit romantic. [name_f]Elowen[/name_f] too. Heck all of your suggestions are lovely!

[name_f]Persephone[/name_f] [name_f]Phaedra[/name_f] [name_f]Isolde[/name_f]
[name_f]Persephone[/name_f] [name_f]Dorothea[/name_f] [name_f]Elspeth[/name_f]

[name_f]Philippa[/name_f] [name_f]Xanthe[/name_f] [name_f]Odette[/name_f]

I think my favorite is [name_f]Persephone[/name_f] [name_u]Juniper[/name_u]! Ornate but feels fresh.

brittanyanitarose · March 27, 2018, 6:45pm

All so beautiful oh my goodness. I really like [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] [name_f]Eponine[/name_f], [name_f]Philippa[/name_f] [name_f]Elspeth[/name_f] [name_f]Ariadne[/name_f], and [name_f]Persephone[/name_f] [name_u]Juniper[/name_u]!

I’m going to update the top post soon with some of my favorites compiled here so far.
