I would like my next daughter’s middle name to honor family members that work in the mission field. I really respect the work they do, and have come up with some options but none that I love with the name [name]Wilhelmina[/name]. [name]Grace[/name] and [name]Faith[/name] seem too popular. I love [name]Hope[/name], but don’t think it flows well with [name]Wilhelmina[/name]. I also love [name]Evangeline[/name], but think [name]Wilhelmina[/name] [name]Evangeline[/name] might be a bit of a mouthful! Any ideas? Thanks!
I like Wihelmina [name]Faith[/name] too! It flows really well.
[name]Love[/name] nn [name]Minnie[/name]! I think w/ [name]Wilhelmina[/name] you do want to keep the middle 1 or 2 syllables max. Thoughts:
[name]Wilhelmina[/name] [name]Mercy[/name] (I actually love the way that flows)
[name]Wilhelmina[/name] [name]Joy[/name] (less directly spiritual, but still has that nod in my opinion)
[name]Wilhelmina[/name] Bless (or [name]Bliss[/name] if thats too out there)
[name]Wilhelmina[/name] [name]Nadia[/name] (means hope)
[name]Wilhelmina[/name] [name]Vera[/name] (means faith, there are many names with faith or grace related meanings)
Thanks for the replies so far. [name]Vera[/name] is so pretty! This may be too indirect, but how about [name]Olive[/name]? I already have a daughter, [name]Rosamund[/name] [name]Hazel[/name]. Does [name]Wilhelmina[/name] [name]Olive[/name] flow? An olive branch is a symbol of peace in the Bible. I like that it has a spiritual, but also botanical reference to match her sister’s name. Opinions?
I like [name]Olive[/name]. I think it needs to be something short and sweet. What about considering Biblical person or place names (as opposed to virtue names?) Like [name]Wilhelmina[/name] [name]Ruth[/name] or [name]Wilhelmina[/name] [name]Eden[/name], [name]Wilhelmina[/name] [name]Adah[/name], [name]Wilhelmina[/name] [name]Naomi[/name]? Not saying that those are what you’re looking for exactly, but it wouldn’t hurt to look up Biblical people/place names as well.
I think [name]Rosamund[/name] [name]Hazel[/name] and [name]Wilhelmina[/name] [name]Olive[/name] sound great together!
