What do you think?

Hey Berries! :slight_smile:

So I have been trying to decide on a few new combos; but since I like two middle names I find it quite hard - plus I also imagine that when I get married, my husband will use a middle name to honour his family.

So these are the ones I am liking so far:

[name_f]Clara[/name_f] [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f] - (Prn. [name_u]Clair[/name_u]-UH [name_f]Em[/name_f]-UH-line) [name_f]Clara[/name_f] honours a good friend of mine as her middle name is [name_u]Clare[/name_u], I love the connection to The Nutcracker, it’s an all time favourite and the first ballet I ever saw. [name_f]One[/name_f] of my middle name is [name_f]Emily[/name_f], so it would been nice to carry on the name, plus my Mum loves the nickname [name_f]Emme[/name_f] and I could see myself using this combo or a reversed version.

[name_f]Estella[/name_f] [name_f]Pearl[/name_f] - This one isn’t new, just a long time favourite. [name_f]Estella[/name_f] honours childhood memories of looking out at the stars and remembering those who had passed on. So in a way it encompasses honouring all my ancestors. [name_f]Pearl[/name_f] honours my great-grandmother and great-great grandmother.

[name_f]Elisabeth[/name_f] [name_u]Day[/name_u] - I love [name_f]Elisabeth[/name_f], nickname [name_f]Lissie[/name_f], [name_f]Ellie[/name_f] or maybe even [name_f]Elsie[/name_f]/[name_f]Else[/name_f] ! [name_f]Elisabeth[/name_f] is a family name and [name_u]Day[/name_u] is after a song that has significant meaning to me. This one feels vintage, but it may be a tad too plain.

[name_f]Mirabel[/name_f] [name_f]Katerina[/name_f]- I like [name_f]Mira[/name_f] particularly, but no one seems very fond of it. I also think [name_f]Mirabel[/name_f] is very pretty, but its a brand of light bulb where I live. Does that matter? :confused: This was a combo I made up just then. [name_f]Catharina[/name_f] is a family name, but I prefer this spelling.

[name_f]Miriam[/name_f] [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] nickname [name_f]Minnie[/name_f] - I think [name_f]Miriam[/name_f] is very sweet, I met a girl with this name a while back and she was absolutely lovely! I adore [name_f]Aurora[/name_f], it also has family significance.

[name_f]Ida[/name_f] ? - I love [name_f]Ida[/name_f] (prn. Eye-DAH) but I can’t think of a middle name that works well. :frowning:

[name_f]Ada[/name_f] - See above.

Opinions? Any other suggestions? I particularly love Slavic/European names either short and sweet or long and romantic! :slight_smile: Thank Berries

I really love all your choices. I think [name_f]Miriam[/name_f] is underused. [name_f]Mirabel[/name_f] is beautiful and I love the shortened, [name_f]Mira[/name_f]. [name_f]Ida[/name_f] [name_f]Claire[/name_f]? [name_f]Ida[/name_f] [name_f]Mae[/name_f]? Beautiful as well. I love [name_f]Ada[/name_f] too. My least favorites: [name_f]Estella[/name_f] and [name_f]Elisabeth[/name_f]. Good luck!

My favorite name on the list is [name_f]Aurora[/name_f]! But my favorite combo is [name_f]Mirabel[/name_f] [name_f]Katerina[/name_f]! I think [name_f]Mirabel[/name_f] is very pretty (even though I do prefer [name_f]Mirabelle[/name_f] or [name_f]Mirabella[/name_f])! I think [name_f]Katerina[/name_f] is much prettier than [name_f]Katherine[/name_f]. I’m not a fan of [name_f]Estella[/name_f]/[name_f]Estelle[/name_f], but I love [name_f]Pearl[/name_f]! and [name_f]Estella[/name_f] [name_f]Pearl[/name_f] is very pretty. Good luck!

Some combo suggestions:

[name_f]Mirabel[/name_f] [name_f]Estella[/name_f] [name_f]Pearl[/name_f]
[name_f]Katarina[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] [name_u]Day[/name_u]
[name_f]Aurora[/name_f] [name_f]Emmaline[/name_f] [name_f]Claire[/name_f]

[name_f]Clara[/name_f] [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f] is just the sweetest combo. I love it and secretly want to steal it, but I have a cousin [name_f]Claire[/name_f] so I won’t :wink:
[name_f]Estella[/name_f] [name_f]Pearl[/name_f] is also lovely, I adore nn [name_f]Stella[/name_f].
I love the idea if [name_f]Miriam[/name_f] [name_f]Aurora[/name_f], but always find [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] to be a bit of a mouthful, I think it takes some of the innocence away from [name_f]Miriam[/name_f].
I have a friend whose name is [name_f]Nora[/name_f] [name_f]Ada[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f]. I think [name_f]Ada[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] would a the sweetest simplicity or maybe [name_f]Ada[/name_f] [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] :slight_smile:

  1. [name_f]Miriam[/name_f] [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] - a gorgeous combination, though I prefer nn [name_f]Miri[/name_f] to [name_f]Minnie[/name_f].
  2. [name_f]Mirabel[/name_f] [name_f]Katerina[/name_f] - also lovely.
  3. [name_f]Estella[/name_f] [name_m]Peal[/name_m] - such lovely personal significance.

The only ones I like from your choices are [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] [name_u]Day[/name_u] (I [name_f]ADORE[/name_f] this as a middle) and [name_f]Miriam[/name_f] [name_f]Aurora[/name_f], but only because I love [name_f]Miriam[/name_f].
