Middle name ideas-
[name]Malee[/name] ([name]Marie[/name] and [name]Lee[/name])
[name]Macy[/name] ([name]Marie[/name] and [name]Tracey[/name])
[name]Lyndon[/name] ([name]Lynn[/name] and [name]Donna[/name])
[name]Brenna[/name] ([name]Brenda[/name] and [name]Donna[/name])

I love all your names especially [name]Elsie[/name], [name]Hazel[/name] and [name]Cora[/name]

I personally am a big fan of the combo [name]Hazel[/name] [name]Dorothy[/name].

Drawing from some of janneb’s middle name suggestions, I also think [name]Cora[/name] [name]Lyndon[/name] (definitely a southern vibe) and [name]Audrey[/name] [name]Brenna[/name] would be nice.

With regard to [name]Marie[/name], you could use any variation of [name]Mary[/name] if you like ([name]Maria[/name], [name]Marian[/name], etc). What’s your surname’s first initial and how many syllables does it have? You may look at the links on my signature to judge your baby’s name.

I like [name]Elise[/name] [name]Brenna[/name]!

[name]Marie[/name] - [name]Mary[/name], [name]Martha[/name], [name]Margaret[/name], [name]Margo[/name], [name]Mariah[/name], [name]Maria[/name], [name]Marian[/name], [name]Mariam[/name], [name]Marissa[/name]
[name]Lee[/name] - [name]Lisa[/name]
[name]Lynn[/name] - [name]Linda[/name], [name]Lenora[/name]
[name]Dorothy[/name] - [name]Dora[/name]
[name]Donna[/name] - [name]Diana[/name], [name]Deanna[/name]
[name]Brenda[/name] - [name]Brenna[/name], [name]Brielle[/name]
[name]Tracy[/name] - [name]Lacey[/name], [name]Stacey[/name], [name]Casey[/name]

another thing you can do is take two names and scramble them: http://www.babynamescramble.com/names/babynames.cgi
For example [name]Dorothy[/name] + [name]Marie[/name] = [name]Harriet[/name]

Some more suggestions:

[name]Marie[/name] + [name]Lynn[/name] = [name]Marilyn[/name]
[name]Marie[/name] + [name]Lee[/name] = Marlies, [name]Marly[/name]
[name]Tracy[/name] + [name]Marie[/name] = [name]Tamsin[/name], [name]Araminta[/name], [name]Tamara[/name], [name]Matilda[/name], [name]Mattie[/name]
[name]Marie[/name] + [name]Lee[/name] + [name]Brenda[/name] = [name]Melinda[/name]
[name]Lee[/name] - [name]Leonie[/name], [name]Lenore[/name] (could also use this for -or in [name]Dorothy[/name]), [name]Leona[/name] (also -ona for [name]Donna[/name])
[name]Dorothy[/name] - [name]Theodora[/name], [name]Thea[/name], [name]Dorrie[/name]/[name]Dory[/name]
[name]Donna[/name] is “lady of the home” - [name]Freya[/name] is “noble lady” and [name]Martha[/name] is “lady of the house” (and [name]Martha[/name] could also honor [name]Marie[/name])
[name]Brenda[/name] - [name]Maeve[/name] (both have sword meaning)-- also [name]Maeve[/name] could honor [name]Marie[/name] too.
[name]Tracy[/name] may be a short form of [name]Theresa[/name]/[name]Teresa[/name]-- you could use that or [name]Tess[/name]/[name]Tessa[/name] as a mn

[name]Elise[/name] [name]Martha[/name], [name]Elise[/name] [name]Dorothy[/name], [name]Elise[/name] [name]Theodora[/name], [name]Elise[/name] [name]Tamara[/name]
[name]Esther[/name] [name]Maeve[/name], [name]Esther[/name] [name]Dorothy[/name], [name]Esther[/name] [name]Lenore[/name], [name]Esther[/name] [name]Leona[/name]
[name]Hazel[/name] [name]Marie[/name], [name]Hazel[/name] [name]Freya[/name], [name]Hazel[/name] [name]Dorothy[/name], [name]Hazel[/name] [name]Theodora[/name], [name]Hazel[/name] [name]Tamsin[/name]
[name]Stella[/name] [name]Maeve[/name], [name]Stella[/name] [name]Marly[/name], [name]Stella[/name] [name]Leonie[/name], [name]Stella[/name] [name]Tess[/name]
[name]Cora[/name] [name]Maeve[/name], [name]Cora[/name] [name]Leonie[/name], [name]Cora[/name] [name]Tess[/name], [name]Cora[/name] Marlies
[name]Audrey[/name] [name]Martha[/name], [name]Audrey[/name] [name]Tess[/name], [name]Audrey[/name] [name]Lenore[/name], [name]Audrey[/name] [name]Tamara[/name]

I like the suggestion of using [name]Dora[/name] too-- close to [name]Dorothy[/name] and [name]Cora[/name]. You could also use [name]Coralie[/name] [name]Maeve[/name] (for [name]Cora[/name] + [name]Lee[/name] and also [name]Brenda[/name] and [name]Marie[/name]!).

Thank you for all the suggestions; so many great names to choose from! I love the mention of [name]Dora[/name]! We have a [name]Belle[/name]-[name]Dora[/name] a few generations back on the family tree! Surname is one syllable and starts with a W.
