We have decided on [name_u]Sawyer[/name_u] for our girl, but we can’t decide on a middle name. So far, we’re thinking:
[name_f]Grace[/name_f]
[name_f]Kate[/name_f]
[name_f]Paige[/name_f]
[name_f]Rose[/name_f] (a little to repetitive with the ‘r’)
[name_u]Brooke[/name_u] (I like, but don’t want people to think I named her after One Tree [name_m]Hill[/name_m] ;))
Which is best/any other ideas? We definitely want a more feminine name to balance out her unisex first name. Thanks!
I think [name_u]Sawyer[/name_u] [name_f]Grace[/name_f] or [name_u]Sawyer[/name_u] [name_f]Kate[/name_f] would be lovely! [name_u]Sawyer[/name_u] is on our list for both boys and girls, for girls I like;
I like [name_u]Sawyer[/name_u] [name_f]Grace[/name_f] and [name_u]Sawyer[/name_u] [name_f]Kate[/name_f], as well as [name_u]Sawyer[/name_u] [name_f]Paige[/name_f]. I’d definitely go with a feminine middle name, since Saywer is unisex.
If you are concerned about the connection to a television show with [name_u]Sawyer[/name_u] [name_u]Brooke[/name_u], then be advised that [name_u]Sawyer[/name_u] and [name_f]Kate[/name_f] were romantically involved on “Lost”.
I really like [name_u]Sawyer[/name_u] [name_u]Brooke[/name_u]. I think it’s very pretty. [name_m]Don[/name_m]'t let characters from shows that aren’t even on anymore spoil a name for you, if it’s your favourite.
Of your options, I think [name_u]Sawyer[/name_u] [name_f]Grace[/name_f] sounds best. I like [name_f]Kate[/name_f], but the hard ‘t’ sound at the end of [name_f]Kate[/name_f] gives it an abrupt ending that I think works better with 3+ syllable first names. But that’s just something weird to my ear that I prefer. lol I would definitely go with a more feminine middle name, as you seem to be leaning, because it balances the unisex [name_u]Sawyer[/name_u] very well.
[name_u]Love[/name_u] pp’s suggestions of [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] and [name_f]Annabelle[/name_f] for middle names.
I like [name_u]Sawyer[/name_u] [name_f]Kate[/name_f] and [name_u]Sawyer[/name_u] [name_u]Brooke[/name_u] (I love OTH so the reference doesn’t bother me :D).
As you are giving your daughter a boy’s name, I definitely recommend giving her a gender-appropriate middle name to fall back on. [name_f]Grace[/name_f] sounds best; I also like the [name_u]Berry[/name_u] suggestions of [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] and [name_f]Annabelle[/name_f].
