I don’t automatically recognize [name_u]Wren[/name_u] as a birds name. I think it goes well together with [name_u]Emerson[/name_u] [name_m]Bear[/name_m] because it has the same number of syllables in each name.

I really love both names! i think [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f] [name_u]Wren[/name_u] flows better though because i think the ending of [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f] (D sound) and the start of wren (R sound) flow better than D into W sound of [name_u]Winter[/name_u]. But i think either choice will be beautiful. good luck!

Ok thanks. We probably wont decide until later, I just needed some opinions :slight_smile:

I think [name_u]Winter[/name_u] flows betters with it.

I think a single syllable flows better with [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f], so definitely [name_u]Wren[/name_u], assuming it works with last name.

I actually really like that there is a theme with your children’s middle names, and it’s not an immediately obvious one.

I wouldn’t want two children to both have animal middle names, either, unless I knew I wasn’t going to have any more children, or I knew I had a few more animal names I liked. I like it when sibling names sound nice together or have a connection, but I don’t like the idea of being tied down to a very limited theme, and “One-Syllable Animal Middles” could be a bit challenging.

I think “Nature Middles” or even just “Literal Word Middles” is a little more open, and would be easier to work with for future children, and both [name_m]Bear[/name_m] and [name_u]Winter[/name_u] fall under that category.

I prefer [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f] [name_u]Winter[/name_u]. I think it flows better, and it leaves you more options for future babies, and I like the sound of [name_u]Winter[/name_u] more than [name_u]Wren[/name_u], anyway. When I think of [name_u]Wren[/name_u], I think of [name_u]Ren[/name_u], and then [name_u]Ren[/name_u] & Stimpy.

I love your choices! [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f] is a lovely classic name and both [name_u]Winter[/name_u] and [name_u]Wren[/name_u] are lovely offbeat middle name choices. If you’re unsure about two animal middle names [name_u]Winter[/name_u] is an entirely usable choice that is also slightly less common than [name_u]Wren[/name_u] but it sounds like your animal middle names could be a really sweet common theme between siblings that isn’t immediately matchy to outsiders :slight_smile: could be a bonding point for your kids over the years.

[name_m]Just[/name_m] quickly, if it’s keeping up nice animal names in the future that has you worried there are some very sweet ones,
[name_u]Kit[/name_u] (young fox) and [name_m]Colt[/name_m] would be nice for a boy and [name_f]Cat[/name_f] and [name_f]Fawn[/name_f] are some cute girl middle names and if you don’t mind another bird name there’s [name_u]Raven[/name_u] and [name_u]Finch[/name_u].

Those are so adorable! My main concern is that we may have a third (or fourth) and our next boy will take his grandfathers first name as his middle. So we might have two kids with animal middles and one with [name_m]William[/name_m]… I think [name_u]Winter[/name_u] breaks it up nicely :slight_smile:

I love both names but think [name_u]Wren[/name_u] sounds better with [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f]

good luck :slight_smile:

[name_f]Adelaide[/name_f] [name_u]Winter[/name_u] is gorgeous and has the best flow.

[name_u]Emerson[/name_u] [name_m]Bear[/name_m] and [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f] [name_u]Winter[/name_u]!!! I think these go beautifully together, makes me picture a grizzly bear and a snowy winter scene. Very much preferred over [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f] [name_u]Wren[/name_u] in this circumstance!

I like [name_u]Emerson[/name_u] [name_m]Bear[/name_m] and [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f] [name_u]Wren[/name_u] more than [name_u]Emerson[/name_u] [name_m]Bear[/name_m] and [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f] [name_u]Winter[/name_u]. I [name_u]LOVE[/name_u] the name you’ve chosen for a girl. [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f] is one of my recent discoveries, and I’ve fallen head over heels.
