If we have a girl, I’d really like to use my mom’s name ([name]Lourdes[/name]) as her middle name. However, I know [name]Lourdes[/name] is not seen as the prettiest names amongst the majority. Any suggestions on a first name that would to beautify it? I personally love it b/c of what she means to me so your help would be GREATLY appreciated!!!
I think it’s a lovely way to honor your mother, but I do agree that [name]Lourdes[/name] isn’t the prettiest name out there. Maybe these will freshen [name]Lourdes[/name] up:

[name]Vivian[/name] [name]Lourdes[/name]

Thank you all for making me feel better about this name! These are beautiful suggestions!
I really [name]LOVE[/name] [name]Sophia[/name] [name]Lourdes[/name], but wish [name]Sophia[/name] wasn’t so extremely popular. Other stand outs to me are [name]Lydia[/name] [name]Lourdes[/name] and [name]Vivienne[/name] [name]Lourdes[/name].
A first name my husband and I really like is [name]Tatum[/name]. Would that work at all?
[name]Tatum[/name] [name]Lourdes[/name]
[name]Rollo[/name], love your ideas of [name]Valentina[/name] [name]Lourdes[/name] and [name]Bettina[/name] [name]Lourdes[/name]!
I’m not sure that I like [name]Tatum[/name] [name]Lourdes[/name]. [name]Tatum[/name] feels unisex to me, and if you’re trying to “pretty up” [name]Lourdes[/name] I don’t think [name]Tatum[/name] pulls that off. I do, however, love [name]Vivienne[/name] [name]Lourdes[/name]. Very pretty!
side note: Does [name]Vivienne[/name] [name]Lourdes[/name] feel too “celebrity”? [name]Vivienne[/name] being a [name]Jolie[/name]-[name]Pitt[/name] child and [name]Lourdes[/name] being [name]Madonna[/name]'s daughter?
Wow great suggestions!
[name]Susan[/name] would [name]Andrea[/name] be an-dree -uh or an-dray-uh? I like the second pronunciation.
I think [name]Andrea[/name] [name]Lourdes[/name] would be really pretty.
[name]Anja[/name] [name]Lourdes[/name] or [name]Anya[/name]
[name]Avery[/name] [name]Lourdes[/name]
[name]Anastasia[/name] [name]Lourdes[/name]
[name]Angeline[/name] [name]Lourdes[/name]
[name]Angelina[/name] [name]Lourdes[/name]
[name]Annemarie[/name] [name]Lourdes[/name]
[name]Audrey[/name] [name]Lourdes[/name] or
[name]Audra[/name] [name]Lourdes[/name]
[name]Elana[/name] [name]Lourdes[/name] -[name]Elana[/name] pro eh-lah-na
[name]Lucia[/name] [name]Lourdes[/name]
[name]Linnet[/name] [name]Lourdes[/name]
[name]Lynette[/name] [name]Lourdes[/name]
[name]Marla[/name] [name]Lourdes[/name]
[name]Marina[/name] [name]Lourdes[/name]
[name]Nigella[/name] [name]Lourdes[/name]
[name]Rosemarie[/name] [name]Lourdes[/name]
[name]Reina[/name] [name]Lourdes[/name]
[name]Stacy[/name] [name]Lourdes[/name] - maybe too dated
[name]Tabitha[/name] [name]Lourdes[/name]

[name]Rollo[/name], love your ideas of [name]Valentina[/name] [name]Lourdes[/name] and [name]Bettina[/name] [name]Lourdes[/name]![/quote]
Thanks [name]Susan[/name], and you win tons of brownie points from me for [name]Jacqueline[/name] [name]Lourdes[/name] and [name]Rose[/name] [name]Caroline[/name] [name]Lourdes[/name], also love [name]Rosa[/name] [name]Caroline[/name] [name]Lourdes[/name].
That’s the problem with [name]Andrea[/name], I just love it but don’t know how to pronounce it. I’ve heard [name]ANN[/name]-dree-uh, ON-dray-uh, and even, are you ready? AAAAHHHHHN-dree-uh! You have to tense your throat, clench your stomach, and sound very snobby and pinchy while you practically shout the first syllable. My favorite of these pronunciations is ON-dray-uh, but I also love [name]ANN[/name]-dree-uh. With [name]Lourdes[/name], I would love ON-dray-uh [name]Lourdes[/name], absolutely.
ON-dray-uh is what I was hearing in my head but put is an-dray-uh. I love it as ON-dray-uh. [name]Andrea[/name] pro. the way we like was almost my sisters name. She would have been [name]Andrea[/name] [name]Renee[/name] but is [name]Kristina[/name] [name]Renee[/name] instead. My vote (I’ve got polls on the brain) is for [name]Andrea[/name] [name]Lourdes[/name].
I looked up [name]Andrea[/name] on “check out a name”. There are three pronunciations. [name]Pam[/name] and [name]Linda[/name] say that [name]Andrea[/name] is pronounced ahn-DRAY-uh, [name]ANN[/name]-dree-uh or ON-dree-uh. My faves are the first two. [name]Andrea[/name] is one of my top two or three faves, but the pronunciation is a problem. Now that I have known an ON-dree-uh, it is hard for me to say ahn-DRAY-uh. I think [name]ANN[/name]-dree-uh is my favorite pronunciation, but not with [name]Lourdes[/name]. [name]Andrea[/name] ([name]ANN[/name]-dree-uh) sounds incredible with my last name which is [name]Chesney[/name]. [name]Andrea[/name] [name]Chesney[/name], lovely.
[name]Lourdes[/name] is beautiful! (To me)
