I love [name_f]Hildegarde[/name_f] [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] with [name_f]Hildegarde[/name_f] [name_f]Fern[/name_f] as a close second

I absolutely adore [name_f]Hildegarde[/name_f] [name_f]Fern[/name_f].

Like no contest for me that’s my favorite by a mile.

I can’t totally place my finger on why but I think [name_f]Hildegarde[/name_f] [name_f]Mercy[/name_f] would be fab.

[name_f]Hildegarde[/name_f]? [name_m]Don[/name_m]’t like it at all. But congratulations on your baby.

Ooh, [name_f]Mercy[/name_f] has been a favorite of mine for a long time! That could be really cool, thanks @brittanyanitarose

I absolutely love [name_f]Hildegarde[/name_f] [name_f]Blythe[/name_f]! [name_f]Hildegarde[/name_f] is such a serious, weighty name, and I think a name like [name_f]Blythe[/name_f], which is super upbeat, works very nicely with it.

[name_f]Hildegarde[/name_f] [name_f]Lydia[/name_f]: I love [name_f]Lydia[/name_f]: It’s the ultimate elegant, feminine classic. It’s also stunning with [name_f]Hildegarde[/name_f].
[name_f]Hildegarde[/name_f] [name_f]Felicity[/name_f]: My personal connotation with [name_f]Felicity[/name_f] gives me a negative bias, but I think it’s a happy, sweet name, and balances [name_f]Hildegarde[/name_f] well!
[name_f]Hildegarde[/name_f] [name_f]Cressida[/name_f]: [name_u]Love[/name_u] it. I think something frilly, elegant, and feminine is perfect with the fierce [name_f]Hildegarde[/name_f].
[name_f]Hildegarde[/name_f] [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f]: My favorite! Both names are vintage with the “l” sound, so they suit stylistically, but [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f] brings an element of frill.

Oh I love [name_f]Hildegarde[/name_f] [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f]!!! Honestly all the new combos sound good but this one has me floored.

9

[name_f]Hildegarde[/name_f] [name_f]Fern[/name_f] is gorgeous! I voted for [name_f]Blythe[/name_f] as a middle, though, because I really like those two paired together!

10

[name_f]Hildegarde[/name_f] [name_f]Fern[/name_f] got my vote in an instant. I do love [name_f]Blythe[/name_f] & [name_f]Cressida[/name_f], however, with your [name_f]Hildegarde[/name_f], [name_f]Fern[/name_f] just works so incredibly well.

My favorite from your list is Hildagarde Lauraline but my first thought when I read what kind of names you are looking for was Hildagarde [name_f]Celeste[/name_f]. I also like the idea of Hildagarde [name_f]Lorelei[/name_f].

Thanks so much everyone for all your ideas. I am wondering, overall, do you prefer the shorter names that kinda soften it like [name_f]Hope[/name_f], [name_f]Blythe[/name_f], [name_f]Fern[/name_f], or do you like the idea of pairing something longer, more romantic and substantial for her to fall back on if she decides she wants to go by her middle name, like [name_f]Cressida[/name_f], [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f], [name_f]Lydia[/name_f]?

(Using a long, frilly, romantic name for the middle kinda makes me feel like I am still getting to put my stamp on the name while conceding to his feeling like he really sees his daughter as a [name_f]Hildegarde[/name_f]/[name_f]Hilda[/name_f]… And I am softening more to the name and kinda even liking “[name_f]Hildi[/name_f]”, but kinda still wishing I could go with something like [name_f]Cressida[/name_f]… So maybe that would be a good compromise?)
