We’ve picked out the name [name_f]Anna[/name_f]-[name_f]Rose[/name_f], if we have a girl. Husband picked out the middle name of [name_f]Minerva[/name_f], but I really don’t love it. I don’t hate it, but I don’t particularly like it either.
He likes super unique names, the more made up sounding the better. Some other names he’s liked are [name_f]Cerys[/name_f] (although he refuses to say care-iss, and pronounces it as s-air-iss,) [name_f]Circe[/name_f] (sir-see,) and [name_f]Tatiana[/name_f].
I really love [name_f]Circe[/name_f], but our last name is [name_m]Smith[/name_m], and I just don’t think it sounds good together. We both like [name_f]Seraphina[/name_f] and think it sounds good with [name_f]Anna[/name_f]-[name_f]Rose[/name_f], but the initials would be ASS (ARSS? I’m not sure how the hyphenated first name would work) so that wouldn’t work.
Any suggestions?
First thing that came to my mind was:
[name_f]Anna[/name_f]-[name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Magnolia[/name_f] [name_m]Smith[/name_m]
I would love that. [name_f]Magnolia[/name_f] is one of my favorite names. Husband hates it though. =(
Hmm!
Here are some more suggestions then
[name_f]Anna[/name_f]-[name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Marie[/name_f] [name_m]Smith[/name_m]
[name_f]Anna[/name_f]-[name_f]Rose[/name_f] is beautiful but it does seem difficult to find a middle name that doesn’t sound clunky. Have you considered just naming her [name_f]Anna[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_m]Smith[/name_m] and still just calling her [name_f]Anna[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] as if it were double-barreled?

Anna-Rose Marie Smith
Anna-Rose is beautiful but it does seem difficult to find a middle name that doesn’t sound clunky. Have you considered just naming her Anna Rose Smith and still just calling her Anna Rose as if it were double-barreled?
We’re not a fan of [name_f]Anna[/name_f] by itself, and I feel like if it was just [name_f]Anna[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] then most people would just call her [name_f]Anna[/name_f].
I do like [name_f]Melody[/name_f] and [name_f]Ella[/name_f]. Not sure if they’re “out there” enough for my husband to go for them, but I’ll run them by him.

I wouldn’t use [name_f]Cerys[/name_f] unless your husband is willing to pronounce it correctly, but the correct pronunciation does go beautifully!!

<3 That song. It’s actually one of the reasons I decided on the name. I already loved the name, but wasn’t completely sure. Then I heard that song and started crying, and that’s been the only name I’ve wanted ever since.
Thanks for the suggestions, everyone! There’s several that I really like.
[name_f]Olympia[/name_f], [name_f]Elowen[/name_f] (this was actually on my list,) and [name_f]Athena[/name_f] are some of my favorites.
I like the idea of an M middle name because it doesn’t run into the end of [name_f]Rose[/name_f] like an S name would. My first thought would be [name_f]Anna[/name_f]-[name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Milena[/name_f] (mee-lay-nuh). I think it’s a good mix of unusual but familiar so your husband might like it.
Since you like [name_f]Circe[/name_f], maybe another mythological name would please both you and your husband.
And some other miscellaneous suggestions:
I’ll leave it at that. I adore the name [name_f]Anna[/name_f]-[name_f]Rose[/name_f], double barreled names I find very charming in the right combination, and you have certainly found it. Best of luck!

Thank you! I’ve thought of several of these.
[name_f]Iris[/name_f] was my favorite. I love the way it sounds with [name_f]Anna[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f]. I was told to stay away from it because of of the double flower, but I didn’t care about that. And then I started saying the full name, and I just don’t like [name_f]Iris[/name_f] [name_m]Smith[/name_m]. Very hard on the tongue. If it wasn’t for that, [name_f]Iris[/name_f] would probably be the one.
[name_u]Indigo[/name_u] is another I love, but I have a friend that just named her daughter that less than 2 months ago, so that’s probably a no go at the moment.
I love [name_f]Imogen[/name_f] as well (I’m apparently a fan of I names.) I’ll put that one on the list. I’m becoming a huge fan of [name_f]Athena[/name_f] (also [name_u]Artemis[/name_u].) I don’t know how much I love the double A’s though. Might take some getting used to. I’m liking [name_f]Olympia[/name_f] as well.
I know there will be repeats in here, so bear with me.
[name_f]Anna[/name_f]-[name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Imani[/name_f]
