I asked for opinions on [name]Ingrid[/name] [name]Zenobia[/name] yesterday, and the more I see it, the more I love it. DH & I said we’d go to the hospital with two names and choose at birth, and [name]Margot[/name] is the other first name contender. More than likely, the name no chosen this go around would be used with a second daughter. So, with that in mind… what middle name would you pair with [name]Margot[/name] that could hold its own next to [name]Ingrid[/name] [name]Zenobia[/name]? The requirements are mainly that it is a name with history and weight, and with a strong namesake from either history, mythology or literature. And, go! ([name]TIA[/name]).
[name]Persephone[/name]
[name]Penelope[/name]
[name]Cassandra[/name]
[name]Gwendolyn[/name]
[name]Thisbe[/name]
[name]Evangeline[/name]
[name]Persephone[/name]- [name]Do[/name] like this, only problem is I’m afraid my daughter won’t appreciate the association with the queen of the Underworld…
[name]Penelope[/name]- This has thus far been the top contender for me, though it’s starting to lose its charm to me.
[name]Cassandra[/name]- I’m considering changing my own name to this, and it’s very similar to my current name.
[name]Gwendolyn[/name]-I love this! Going on the list for sure!
[name]Thisbe[/name]- I do like, but not sure about flow.
[name]Evangeline[/name]- It’s a pretty name, but I’m not familiar with the reference.
[name]Margot[/name] [name]Zebulon[/name]
Yes, it’s a boy name. But it’s great and it’s a great match! Or…
[name]Margot[/name] [name]Inez[/name]
[name]Margot[/name] [name]Lavinia[/name]
[name]Margot[/name] [name]Zebulon[/name]- Might be a bit matchy, but definitely has a wow factor! However, I do dislike that it is generally a male name.
[name]Margot[/name] [name]Inez[/name]- Very lovely combo!
[name]Margot[/name] [name]Lavinia[/name]- I am definitely intrigued by this match! [name]Lavinia[/name] is lovely and I think holds her own with [name]Zenobia[/name], especially with her ties to mythology and literature.
[name]Margot[/name] [name]Athena[/name]
[name]Margot[/name] [name]Ophelia[/name]
[name]Margot[/name] [name]Zelda[/name]
[name]Margot[/name] [name]Delphine[/name]
[name]Margot[/name] [name]Nova[/name]
[name]Margot[/name] [name]Ginevra[/name]
[name]Margot[/name] [name]Vienna[/name]
[name]Margot[/name] [name]Athena[/name]- I considered this, but then I think it’d bother me that my two daughters have the same mn’s as [name]Tiny[/name] [name]Fey[/name]'s two dds.
[name]Margot[/name] [name]Ophelia[/name]- This is going on the list.
[name]Margot[/name] [name]Zelda[/name]- LO VE, but I’m thinking about saving [name]Zelda[/name] in case we ever have a third daughter, because I totally adore this name!
[name]Margot[/name] [name]Delphine[/name]- Oh wow, I never considered this! It’s definitely one I’ll think about but it sounds lovely together!
[name]Margot[/name] [name]Nova[/name]- Doesn’t really strike me.
[name]Margot[/name] [name]Ginevra[/name]- Another I’ve considered, and I like that it’s both tied to [name]Guinevere[/name] AND has a HP connection!
[name]Margot[/name] [name]Vienna[/name]- Pretty, but don’t think it’d work for me.
Thanks so much, sadlola!
arabella, cordelia, mazarine or …zephyrine
glblondie, I love [name]Margot[/name] [name]Cordelia[/name]! That is going on the list!
Oh I love the names [name]Ingrid[/name] and [name]Margo/name and have often considered them as pairing well together! Something about those g’s : D.
[name]One[/name] of my favorite [name]Margo/name combos is [name]Margo/name [name]Roxana[/name]! [name]Roxana[/name] is a little tamer than [name]Zenobia[/name] as a middle but somewhat well matched with those o’x, that z/x, and history.
Good luck!
[name]Margot[/name] [name]Roxana[/name] is very interesting! It’s a name I can really see growing on me. I’ve been turned off of [name]Roxana[/name] in the past due to the song that plays in my head every time I see it, lol! But I think I could overcome this.
Oh I’m glad you like it! I hear you on that [name]Roxanne[/name] song, but to me [name]Roxana[/name] is a little bit different enough - first of all just the extra syllable, and then I actually do kind of pronounce it more to rhyme with Spanish [name]Ana[/name] than English [name]Anna[/name], so that’s a little further from [name]Roxanne[/name] too. And then, finally, it’s in the middle, not the first name : D. With the meaning of [name]Margot[/name] referring to pearls and the meaning of [name]Roxana[/name] referring to stars, I think there are some beautiful images there too! Anyway, good luck whichever middle you decide for little, or future little, [name]Margot[/name] : D!
Some great ideas already! Here’s a few more:
[name]Iphigenia[/name]
[name]Letitia[/name]
[name]Sophronia[/name]
[name]Yvaine[/name]
[name]Iphigenia[/name]- Never heard this name before. I’d have to do some research about it, but it is intriguing.
[name]Letitia[/name]- I have a bad association with this name (terrible boss).
[name]Sophronia[/name]- Wow, this name is gorgeous! Is [name]Margot[/name] [name]Sophronia[/name] B******* too long of a name?
[name]Yvaine[/name]- This one I’d have to ponder a bit before I decide if I like it or not.
[name]Margot[/name] [name]Artemisia[/name]
[name]Margot[/name] [name]Atalanta[/name]
[name]Margot[/name] [name]Livia[/name]
[name]Margot[/name] Nubia
[name]Margot[/name] [name]Cornelia[/name]
[name]Margot[/name] Severan
[name]Margot[/name] [name]Andromeda[/name]
[name]Ingrid[/name] and [name]Margot[/name] are gorgeous, by the way! Good luck!
Nubia is way too close to [name]Zenobia[/name], of course. Sorry about that!
[name]Margot[/name] [name]Artemisia[/name]- Pretty but I’m worried it’d be a mouthful?
[name]Margot[/name] [name]Atalanta[/name]- I’m very intrigued by this.
[name]Margot[/name] [name]Livia[/name]- I don’t know much about the history of the name [name]Livia[/name], and worry people would think it was a “creatyve” spin on [name]Olivia[/name].
[name]Margot[/name] [name]Cornelia[/name]- Very pretty!
[name]Margot[/name] Severan- Not familiar with this name.
[name]Margot[/name] [name]Andromeda[/name]- Oh I love this one!
[name]Margot[/name] [name]Anais[/name]
[name]Margot[/name] [name]Ariadne[/name]
[name]Margot[/name] Tesla
[name]Margot[/name] [name]Bernadette[/name]
[name]Margot[/name] [name]Veronica[/name]
[name]Margot[/name] [name]Atlantis[/name]
[name]Margot[/name] [name]Tasmin[/name]
[name]Margot[/name] [name]Aurelia[/name]
[name]Margot[/name] [name]Phillipa[/name]
[name]Margot[/name] [name]Anais[/name]- I have never been sure of pronunciation of [name]Anais[/name]?
[name]Margot[/name] [name]Ariadne[/name]- [name]Love[/name] this!
[name]Margot[/name] Tesla- For some reason Tesla reminds me of an abbreviation of a company or something…
[name]Margot[/name] [name]Bernadette[/name]- [name]Love[/name] [name]Bernadette[/name]!
[name]Margot[/name] [name]Veronica[/name]- I do like this.
[name]Margot[/name] [name]Atlantis[/name]- I’ve never heard of [name]Atlantis[/name] being used as a name before.
[name]Margot[/name] [name]Tasmin[/name]- [name]Love[/name] this!! This could definitely be a contender! Only thing I’d have to decide is if I want to, like [name]Zelda[/name], keep [name]Tamsin[/name] back for use for a future daughter!
