I like the name [name]Azura[/name]. [name]Zuzu[/name] as a nn is very cute, although I first thought of the bird in the lion king -not a bad association, and when I looked it up, the bird’s name is actually [name]Zazu[/name]. (Apparently his mother’s name is [name]Zuzu[/name], but she isn’t actually a character in the movie).

I think [name]Azura[/name] [name]Valentine[/name] works well. It’s not too matchy, it doesn’t rhyme, the two names have different numbers of syllables -and although we assosiate it with [name]Valentine[/name]'s day, the name actually means “strength and health”. Since it also has personal meaning for you, I think it’s your best choice. Of your other suggestions in your list, I like [name]Azura[/name] [name]Elizabeth[/name] best. The others make a pretty picture -blue lily, blue meadow, blue sky (I just looked it up, and there is an actress named [name]Azura[/name] [name]Sky[/name]), but I feel they lack substance. They are just pretty, although having said that, they work well and sound very nice. They are good choices, but I feel it’s important to add more meaning to the name.

If you’d like a short middle, would you consider a virtue name? [name]Azura[/name] [name]Joy[/name], or [name]Azura[/name] [name]Hope[/name] work well too.

I like th name [name]Azura[/name], it’s definitley growing on me. [name]Zuzu[/name] is a very cute nickname for it. I didn’t make the association with the lion king until my OH pointed it out! I think it’s absolutley beautiful.

I also think [name]Azura[/name] [name]Valentine[/name] works really well. It’s not too matchy and dosen’t ryhme, they are different. I don’t necciserally associate [name]Valentine[/name] with valentines day, I really like the meaning as well. It’s not a bad one! If it’s special too you then definitley use it, it would be gorgeous. My favourite however is [name]Azura[/name] [name]Lily[/name] which makes me think of beautiful blue lily’s and I also adore [name]Azura[/name] [name]Elizabeth[/name]. Out of those 3 no matter which you choose you can’t go wrong with any of them really. :slight_smile:

Thank you for your feedback! [name]Azura[/name] [name]Lily[/name] and [name]Azura[/name] [name]Valentine[/name] are my favourite at this point. [name]Lily[/name] is DH’s favourite name but I knocked it…I didn’t first spot due to its popularity. I hadn’t considered it again til now but it just seems to fit with [name]Azura[/name] and it’s popularity doesn’t bother me at all in the middle spot! zuzu actaully means lily according to nameberry too which is a coincidence! I do agree though with lilysong that perhaps a stronger name is needed in the middle…one with more substance…

Is [name]Azura[/name] [name]Lily[/name] [name]Valentine[/name] too much? Ordinarily i prefer just one middle but with [name]Azura[/name] I’d consider two…

While i suggested [name]Elizabeth[/name] and I like the way it flows with [name]Azura[/name] and is a classic, I don’t really feel any strong connection with the name or its meaning so I don’t think I’ll be going with that!

Any other thoughts?

P.S…I also like suggestion of virtue name will have a think about it! Maybe [name]Azura[/name] [name]Grace[/name], [name]Azura[/name] [name]Dove[/name]? Any other virtue suggestions?

Thank You :slight_smile:

If [name]Elizabeth[/name] dosen’t have a special meaning too you and dosen’t feel like the one then you don’t have to use it!

I think [name]Azura[/name] [name]Lily[/name] [name]Valentine[/name] is definitley not too much, I originally have 2 middle names but dropped the 2nd one because I really disliked it! I also prefer one middle name but with this name I just adore your combonation of these names. I also really like [name]Valentine[/name] [name]Azura[/name] [name]Lily[/name], I think it’s absolutley beautiful but prefer your combonation. If you choose [name]Azura[/name] [name]Lily[/name] [name]Valentine[/name], [name]Azura[/name] [name]Lily[/name] or [name]Azura[/name] [name]Valentine[/name], no matter which one you choose you can’t go wrong.

As for virtue middle names how about… [name]Grace[/name], [name]Hope[/name], [name]Joy[/name], [name]Faith[/name], [name]Dove[/name]? :slight_smile:
