I am curious to know which name you like best as a middle name for the first name [name_f]Laura[/name_f].
Please not this is for me and not a child.
My list includes…
[name_f]Laura[/name_f] [name_f]Amy[/name_f] (I have a cousin whose middle name is [name_f]Amy[/name_f]. Should I let this put me off?)
[name_f]Laura[/name_f] [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] (this is my favourite at the moment)
[name_f]Laura[/name_f] [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] ([name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] might get misspelled which would drive me nuts)
[name_f]Laura[/name_f] [name_f]Lucy[/name_f] (not sure about the alliteration)
[name_f]Laura[/name_f] [name_f]Estelle[/name_f] (love the meaning of star)
[name_f]Laura[/name_f] [name_f]Jasmine[/name_f] (concerned about the Disney reference)
[name_f]Laura[/name_f] [name_f]Naomi[/name_f] ([name_m]Don[/name_m]'t like the fact that [name_f]Naomi[/name_f] can spell I Moan backwards. Now I have read a comment saying this I can’t forget it)
[name_f]Laura[/name_f] [name_f]Iris[/name_f] (love the meaning of rainbow)
Which is your favourite?
As a bonus question how many middle names would you choose?
At the moment I have no middle names as I wasn’t given any when I was born. I have always loved names and want to have more than one middle name. Maybe. I suppose it depends on the flow.
I would eliminate the names you have concerns with, which leaves [name_f]Laura[/name_f] [name_f]Ivy[/name_f], [name_f]Laura[/name_f] [name_f]Estelle[/name_f], [name_f]Laura[/name_f] [name_f]Iris[/name_f] and maybe [name_f]Laura[/name_f] [name_f]Lucy[/name_f].
Of these I probably like [name_f]Laura[/name_f] [name_f]Iris[/name_f] and [name_f]Laura[/name_f] [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] best. Personally I am not a huge fan of 2 middle names, but if you find names/combos you love then go for it!
My favourites are [name_f]Laura[/name_f] [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] or [name_f]Laura[/name_f] [name_f]Estelle[/name_f]; they’re both really lovely choices.
I also like:
[name_f]Laura[/name_f] [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] - I wouldn’t Be too concerned about people misspelling your middle name, they aren’t actually used very often.
[name_f]Laura[/name_f] [name_f]Iris[/name_f] - beautiful, but the flow is not as nice as my other favourites.
[name_f]Laura[/name_f] [name_f]Estelle[/name_f] and [name_f]Laura[/name_f] [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] are just so lovely sounding. I adore [name_f]Iris[/name_f]; while it may not have the best cadence with [name_f]Laura[/name_f], if the meaning is something you love then it may be the right one for you.
As for how many middles, I would normally tell people to just stick with one as any more than that will almost never be able to go on documents outside of birth certificate and SS. Since you’re picking these for yourself though I don’t think it would hurt to go with 2 middles if you narrow it down and just can’t quite decide on one over another.
Firstly, I think one middle name is a good choice! I don’t actually like the two middle name trend, I think it’s too much.
Secondly, [name_f]Laura[/name_f] [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] is still my favourite! I just love the meaning so much. I’ve never seen it misspelled honestly, it’s pretty familiar. [name_m]Even[/name_m] if it was a commonly misspelled name, the middle name isn’t used much anyways!
