Zara ________ Ivy ( looking for 3-4 syllables)

troublewithsully · February 7, 2013, 11:06pm

Looking for help in getting a 3-4 syllable middle name for my #1 name choice for number 2.
So far my fave is [name]Zara[/name] [name]Isadora[/name] [name]Ivy[/name].
What other names do you think might fit or might sound better than [name]Isadora[/name] [name]Ivy[/name]?
My style is uncommon, timeless and eclectic.
Thanks !

I really love all these, but I’d advise against [name]Zara[/name] [name]Isadora[/name] because the two run together a bit, like Zarisadora. The same thing could happen between the first and second middles, but I think it’s not as noticeable because the ending -a sound is contrasted better with the “eye” sound in [name]Ivy[/name] compared to the “ih” sound in [name]Isadora[/name].

[name]Zara[/name] [name]Theadora[/name] [name]Ivy[/name] (I prefer [name]Thea[/name] spelling because otherwise it has “odor” in the middle.)
[name]Zara[/name] [name]Cecelia[/name] [name]Ivy[/name]
[name]Zara[/name] [name]Susanna[/name] [name]Ivy[/name] (really love this one)
[name]Zara[/name] [name]Corabelle[/name] [name]Ivy[/name]
[name]Zara[/name] [name]Justine[/name] [name]Ivy[/name] (2 syllables, but still nice!)
[name]Zara[/name] [name]Josephine[/name] [name]Ivy[/name] (really love this too)
[name]Zara[/name] [name]Fiona[/name] [name]Ivy[/name]
[name]Zara[/name] [name]Helena[/name] [name]Ivy[/name] (hel AY na)
[name]Zara[/name] [name]Jane[/name] [name]Ivy[/name] (1 syllable but still nice!)
[name]Zara[/name] [name]Tatiana[/name] [name]Ivy[/name]
[name]Zara[/name] [name]Valentina[/name] [name]Ivy[/name]
[name]Zara[/name] [name]Francesca[/name] [name]Ivy[/name]
[name]Zara[/name] [name]Juliana[/name] [name]Ivy[/name]
[name]Zara[/name] [name]Karensa[/name] [name]Ivy[/name]
[name]Zara[/name] [name]Katarina[/name] [name]Ivy[/name]
[name]Zara[/name] [name]Mirabelle[/name] [name]Ivy[/name]
[name]Zara[/name] [name]Paloma[/name] [name]Ivy[/name]
[name]Zara[/name] [name]Juliette[/name] [name]Ivy[/name]

I agree that [name]Zara[/name] and [name]Isadora[/name] kind of run into each other. I do love [name]Zara[/name] [name]Ivy[/name] on it’s own. Here are a few more ideas:

[name]Zara[/name] [name]Henrietta[/name] [name]Ivy[/name]
[name]Zara[/name] [name]Wilhelmina[/name] [name]Ivy[/name]
[name]Zara[/name] [name]Josephine[/name] [name]Ivy[/name]

I do like [name]Isadora[/name] a lot, but [name]Zara[/name] [name]Isadora[/name] [name]Ivy[/name]… I get bored of listening half-way through even though I love [name]Ivy[/name] as well. [name]Isadora[/name] is just such a heavy name that it doesn’t really even matter that something’s coming after it.

My first thought was [name]Zara[/name] [name]Elowen[/name] [name]Ivy[/name]
[name]Elowen[/name] is not a name I ever would have thought of, but I think it’s stable-sounding with the N ending to go with the shortness and peppiness of [name]Zara[/name] and [name]Ivy[/name], but it’s still a ‘light’ name. I actually love this combo.

[name]Zara[/name] Eilionoir [name]Ivy[/name]
[name]Zara[/name] [name]Seraphine[/name] [name]Ivy[/name]
[name]Zara[/name] [name]Willemina[/name] [name]Ivy[/name]

I agree. [name]Zara[/name] [name]Elowen[/name] [name]Ivy[/name] is extremely fun to say and it flows well.

troublewithsully · June 1, 2013, 9:07pm

I liked [name]Zara[/name] [name]Elowen[/name] [name]Ivy[/name], but hubby thinks [name]Elowen[/name] sounds like elephant.
[name]Do[/name] I really need to have my husbands assistance in naming? ugh.

carolinemchd · June 1, 2013, 9:31pm

First name that came to mind was Zara Eleanor Ivy. I think something more serious and not so ultra-girly might balance Zara and Ivy well.

Zara Amelia Ivy
Zara Margaret Ivy
Zara Cordelia Ivy
Zara Angharad Ivy
Zara Theodora Ivy
Zara Charlotte Ivy
Zara Meredith Ivy
Zara Elora Ivy
Zara Honora Ivy
Zara Rosamond Ivy
Zara Elizabeth Ivy
Zara Emerson Ivy
Zara Georgiana Ivy
Zara Penelope Ivy
Zara Constance Ivy
Zara Beatrice Ivy
Zara Tamora Ivy
Zara Lenora Ivy
Zara Tabitha Ivy
Zara Persephone Ivy

My favourites would be Zara Isadora Ivy, Zara Lenora Ivy, Zara Eleanor Ivy, Zara Penelope Ivy, Zara Charlotte Ivy and Zara Beatrice Ivy!

Hope it was any help!
