I tend to have a list of names I would ONLY use as middle names and was curious if other people did, too. [name_f]So[/name_f], what are your top 10 girl middle names?

[name_m]The[/name_m] middle names I return to time and again are all longer names that I wouldn’t use in the first name slot but love. Some are classic and some a bit bolder.

[name_f]My[/name_f] top middles tend to be unusable as firsts for one reason or another, maybe they don’t work with our surname or my other half doesn’t like them enough for the first name spot but likes them in the middle, or they’re more popular/out there than I would normally go for a first name!
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]So[/name_f] I’d say my top ten are ~

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Beatrice[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Rosalba[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Daphne[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Ida[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Artemis[/name_m]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Wildrose[/name_f]

Mine tend to be ones I wouldn’t or can’t use in the first spot for various reasons, but still love!

I’m with @katinka[name_f][/name_f] and @Greyblue[name_f][/name_f] in that the names that I would use as middles are often ones I can’t, won’t, or don’t want to use as firsts. [name_f][/name_f] Outside family honor names, I would say:

[name_f][/name_f]
    [name_f][/name_f]
  1. [name_f]Alba[/name_f]
    2. [name_f][/name_f]
  2. [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f]
    3. [name_f][/name_f]
  3. [name_f]Chloe[/name_f]
    4. [name_f][/name_f]
  4. [name_f]Eliora[/name_f]
    5. [name_f][/name_f]
  5. [name_f]Fenna[/name_f]
    6. [name_f][/name_f]
  6. [name_f]Galilea[/name_f]
    7. [name_f][/name_f]
  7. [name_f]Hannah[/name_f]
    8. [name_f][/name_f]
  8. [name_f]Kalea[/name_f]
    9. [name_f][/name_f]
  9. [name_m]Larkspur[/name_m]
    10. [name_f][/name_f]
  10. [name_f]Xanthe[/name_f]
    11. [name_f][/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f]

Honorable mention to [name_f]AmĂ©lie[/name_f] which is technically an honor name though not a family one. [name_f][/name_f] Some, like [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f], just seem to make everything prettier. [name_f][/name_f] Most of them just feel too spiky as a first name for my general style, but I love them paired with my favorites! [name_f][/name_f] Some are on my list now, some used to be, and some I want to fit back on. [name_f][/name_f] This was so hard for me since I’m currently crushing on way more “middle names” than first names right now! [name_f][/name_f] Could have had a second (and ok, more like 3 more top 10s! hahaha) top ten with [name_f]Acadia[/name_f], [name_f]AmĂ©lie[/name_f], [name_f]Avonlea[/name_f], [name_f]Bithiah[/name_f], [name_f]Camellia[/name_f], [name_f]Devri[/name_f], [name_f]Fiala[/name_f], [name_f]Gili[/name_f], [name_f]Guinevere[/name_f], [name_f]Ilana[/name_f], [name_f]Jemima[/name_f], [name_f]Kelila[/name_f], [name_f]LĂŠrke[/name_f], [name_f]Leonie[/name_f], [name_f]Madelief[/name_f], [name_f]Maple[/name_f], [name_f]Mireille[/name_f], [name_f]Ottilie[/name_f], [name_f]Petra[/name_f], [name_f]Philomena[/name_f], [name_f]Plum[/name_f], [name_f]Prisca[/name_f], [name_f]Rahab[/name_f], [name_f]Rimona[/name_f], [name_f]Shira[/name_f], [name_f]Simona[/name_f], [name_f]Snow[/name_f], [name_f]Vienna[/name_f], [name_f]Zemfira[/name_f], and [name_f]Zinnia[/name_f]!

This is the first time I’ve compiled them as a list, [name_f][/name_f] but these are ten names I’d use as middles-not-firsts. They are mostly honour names which I love for their meaning and family connections, but I don’t adore them in the first spot or they’d be too confusing (as with [name_f]Lyra[/name_f] which is my niece’s name).

I do too! If I think the name is too common for a first name or half my family is foreign so if it is a name I love but they won’t be able to say it goes straight to the middle name list haha

I meant [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] of course! Liatris is correct, though
