What's a Good Middle Name for Madeline (pronounced to rhyme with Katherine)?

Girl Names

Any suggestions? We have a 4-syllable last name that also starts with M, so I’d like the middle name to be 2-syllables or less and start with a different letter. We are considering [name]Madeline[/name] [name]Kelly[/name] M-- but aren’t totally sold. I’d love to hear any suggestions! Thanks

Well, [name]Kelly[/name] is rather dated since it was so heavily used in the 70’s and 80’s, but it does sound very nicely with [name]Madeline[/name]. If you really like it, I think it’s a good choice.

some other options that have a similar feel to me:
[name]Madeline[/name] [name]Zoe[/name]
[name]Madeline[/name] [name]Chloe[/name]
[name]Madeline[/name] [name]Clara[/name]
[name]Madeline[/name] [name]Cara[/name]
[name]Madeline[/name] [name]Keira[/name]
[name]Madeline[/name] [name]Stella[/name]
[name]Madeline[/name] [name]Lucy[/name]
[name]Madeline[/name] [name]Ruby[/name]

Thank you both! My first name is [name]Kelly[/name] (I was born in '79, LOL) so that’s why it’s been my default.

From the suggested names, I really like [name]Pearl[/name], [name]Zoe[/name], [name]Lucy[/name], and [name]Stella[/name].

My sister is called [name]Madeline[/name] [name]Rose[/name], and her nickname is [name]Maddie[/name] [name]Rose[/name] which I think is adorable!

I searched for names that start with K, have 2 syllables and are Irish like [name]Kelly[/name], and this is what I found:
~ [name]Madeline[/name] [name]Kady[/name]
~ [name]Madeline[/name] [name]Kathleen[/name]
~ [name]Madeline[/name] [name]Keegan[/name]
~ [name]Madeline[/name] [name]Keela[/name] / [name]Keeley[/name]
~ [name]Madeline[/name] [name]Keira[/name]

[name]One[/name] of those would be the perfect way to use your name in your daughters name but in a not-so-obvious way :slight_smile:

JessiceLucy, I am actually not Irish -just my name! I do like [name]Keira[/name] though.

I like the “K” sound.

[name]Lucy[/name] is super cute.

I didn’t think you were Irish! :slight_smile: Was just looking for Irish names since your name is and I thought it would be a sweet connection between the both of you.

Oh, okay! That’s a nice idea.
