Struggling to find a middle name. My surname rhymes with bin. Needs to be short - 1 or two syllables. I quite like Rose but worry it s a bit of a filler and also I have a friend who can't pronounce her r's and if baby had the same issue she would be stuffed ( the things we think of!!?!).

Hi Bodicea

By 'filler' do you mean a name quite often used as a middle name e.g. Mary or Jane?

Do you like Frances?

Do you have to have a middle name at all? Sorry if that's not helpful!

By filler Yes I mean very commonly used as a middle name I suppose.
Jane is my middle name and would give her the same initials as our son so I think is a no go.
Love Frances but unfortunately is my the female version of my dads middle name who I am practically estranged from so would not go down well esp as my son had a middle name after him :-(
I quite like Beth, my mums middle name is Elizabeth so might be a nice way to honour her.
I would like a middle name. My son has two so would be mean to not give this one at least one!!!

Just looking up middle names with stress in the second syllable and came across Elise.

I thought Louise too :) Was a really popular middle name in the 70s but is unusual now.

Thanks for all the replies and suggestions. I am edging towards Erica Charlotte. Sophronia reminded me of the name which I was planning on naming my first born if he was a girl. Had totally forgot about it. The royals put me of having it as a first name but don't think it matters so much to me as a second.

I like Erica Charlotte.

I also loved Charlotte as a first name but I'd ruled it out due to the royal connection too same with George so I think I might use those as middle name options.
