Girls middle name inspired by George Wilfred?!?

[baddyfreckleface]

We are expecting our second dd and have decided on olive as her first name. If she had been a boy we would have named her after my grandad George Wilfred who died when I was pregnant with my first dd.
I would love to choose a middle name which reminded us of him but our surname is a daft one and starts with J and doesn't seem to sit right with Georgia, Georgina etc.
Also my grandad was known as Wilf so I would prefer something similar to that but we are really struggling to think of a feminine version.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated

Oh....that's a bit of a challenge!

Having looked at the meanings of the two names George means "to work the Earth" and Wilfred means "Wish for peace", so based on this perhaps: -

Inga? - from Ing the Norse God of peace and fertility.
Irene? - from the Greek Goddess of peace.
Harmony? Serena?

It's a tough one...Hope you find something you like x

Could you have two mn, so that the 'George' name doesnt sit next to the surname.
Olive Georgina Grace surname
Olive Georgina Beatrix Surname

or something.

Willa?

Wilhemina - (Willa, Minnie) I think it goes well - Olive Wilhemina
or Olivia Wilhemina
Olivia Georgina Wilhemina

My Grandad was also called Wilfred and was commonly known as Bill. Maybe Billie would be a nice girls middle name?

[Janoschi]

Wilfreda?

[baddyfreckleface]

Thanks for the ideas. Like the idea of a name that means the same, especially Irene.
Also hadnt thought of two middle names.
Think Willa might be my favourite at the moment though.
Wilfreda - my mum suggested that but think she was being sarcastic so might have to rule it out!

Olive Winifred - similar to Wilfred but not quite the same :)

[LionsnTigersnBears]

Definitely second Winifred - as in the brilliant Radio 4 presenter Winifred Robinson. Also has a fab unisex nn of Fred going for it. And was the name of the suffragette mum in Mary Poppins. I'm overselling this aren't I?

Frederica Georgiana
Elfrida Georgette

[MrsSchadenfreude]

Olive Winifred Terra? (I know a Terra) Or Olive Terra Winifred?

Frieda also means peace.

[Janoschi]

I know a little Wilfreda - she's German. Pronounced Vill-FRAY-da. I do think it's pretty. She's Freda for short.

Willow?

I just wondered baddyfreckleface - Have you decided to go with Olive Willa?

I had to post as curiousity got the better of me! I think it's a really pretty name btw.

[baddyfreckleface]

For some reason I thought I would look up my old posts and saw this one. Thought i would very belatedly update!!! (If anyone is bothered still!)

We went for Olive Winifred, sooooo happy with her name. I like her to be a madam so I can say the full name in a disapproving way.

Thank you all so much for the ideas.

[MollyBerry]

Nice name choice you could have gone for George though :p I have a friend (girl) who's middle name is George!

[baddyfreckleface]

Ha! I would have but our surname is J.. And would have sounded silly as its pretty much a male name as a surname. Poor girl needed some girl names to contend with that

[FingersCrossedLegsNot]

Lovely name

[whyno]

Ahh my 2yo DS is called George Wilfred!

Quite like alliteration in names especially middle and last rather than first and last.

Was going to suggest Willa too.

[whyno]

Ha just seen you already named her. Very pretty! Congrats.

Love it!
Beautiful name.
