WDYT of Eva Madelief Tally?

Girl Names
1

I’ve been in love with [name_f]Eva[/name_f] Madelief for a long while now, but I can’t seem to nail down a second middle I like (I’ve tried [name_f]Eva[/name_f] Madelief [name_f]Claire[/name_f] and [name_f]Eva[/name_f] Madelief [name_f]Rebecca[/name_f], but I can’t get too excited about either). [name_f]Eva[/name_f] Madelief [name_u]Tally[/name_u] is the next one I’ve come to, but I’m not sure how well it works? [name_u]Tally[/name_u] is my little sister’s nn (well, we spell it [name_u]Tallie[/name_u], but I think [name_f]Eva[/name_f] Madelief [name_u]Tally[/name_u] looks better and more complete), so I like the added family significance (Madelief means “daisy” in Dutch, and flower names are very reminiscent of my mom, whom I have very fond memories of building gardens with when I was very small. But we have no ties to Dutch culture at all, so I feel like it’s almost too far removed to honor her well).

Could [name_f]Eva[/name_f] Madelief [name_u]Tally[/name_u] work? I love the look and sound of [name_f]Eva[/name_f] Madelief [name_f]Daisy[/name_f], but for obvious reasons, I think it’s probably out.

Any ideas for another MN for [name_f]Eva[/name_f] Madelief? I feel like Madelief’s bizarre enough as it is that I need something semi-normal-sounding, but something like [name_f]Eva[/name_f] Madelief [name_f]Claire[/name_f] just seems to sort of fall flat after Madelief. And something like [name_f]Eva[/name_f] Madelief [name_f]Cosima[/name_f] or [name_f]Eva[/name_f] Madelief [name_f]Rosamund[/name_f] just seems like too much. [name_f]Kate[/name_f] also honors my mom, so I am tentatively thinking of [name_f]Eva[/name_f] Madelief [name_f]Kate[/name_f], but I’m worried that sort of falls flat, too.

Thanks, Berries!

I like [name_f]Eva[/name_f] Madelief [name_f]Kate[/name_f] the best. something about [name_u]Tally[/name_u] seems to class with the more classic feeling of [name_f]Eva[/name_f]. What about [name_f]Eva[/name_f] Madelief [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f]?

@legallybrunette - thanks! I agree; and while I think her actual name works better with [name_f]Eva[/name_f] ([name_f]Natalie[/name_f])–and I actually love [name_f]Eva[/name_f] [name_f]Natalie[/name_f] (it was my runner-up to [name_f]Eva[/name_f] Madelief)–I don’t think Madelief (mad-eh-leef) and [name_f]Natalie[/name_f] sound well together at all. Also, I liked that [name_u]Tally[/name_u] seemed to sort of balance the spunkiness of Madelief and the more tame-feeling [name_f]Eva[/name_f]. I guess I could go for her middle ([name_f]Ruth[/name_f]), but I’m really not a fan, or maybe [name_f]Natalia[/name_f]? [name_f]Do[/name_f] Madelief and [name_f]Natalia[/name_f] still sound too similar? I feel like Madelief [name_f]Natalia[/name_f] is too long, but not much longer than Madelief [name_f]Rebecca[/name_f]… If I didn’t have [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] so many other spots on my list, I might consider [name_f]Eva[/name_f] Madelief [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f]. I do rather like [name_f]Eva[/name_f] Madelief [name_f]Kate[/name_f], but I’m not sure I like it enough to actually use it?

Anyone else?
