Middle names for Erin?

[monopod]

We've found out that we are having a little girl and have decided to call her Erin, but I'm still on the fence about a middle name. We're provisionally going with Erin Elizabeth, except I've never particularly liked the name Elizabeth (although admittedly it is starting to grow on me).

We'd quite like her middle name to be a biblical or saint's name (which would include feminine forms of a male name), so our choices are limited in that respect. Our surname is short (single-syllable) and begins with T - I quite liked Erin Andrea but then realised her initials would be EAT which strikes me as not such a good idea.

Does anyone have any suggestions :)

Thanks all! We had considered some of these but felt them to be too short when put together with our surname - would love to have more suggestions if you can :)

What do people think of Erin Rachel or Erin Michaela?

Hopefully Ms Roberts' portrayal of Ms Brockovich is not going to be foremost in people's memories :o

Hmmm, hadn't considered Frances or Hannah, thanks Sloobreeus :)

Glad you like Erin Rachel shouldbedoingtheironing :)

I know an Erin Sophia.

I came across someone at work yesterday called Stephentica - that could work for a feminine form of a male name .

Seriously I quite like the 'a' 'ia' sound after a short name like Erin maybe Teresa (oh no maybe too many Ts though as just realised your surname starts with one).

dd2 is called Erin and her middle name is Isla!

I like Erin Martha, and Erin Hannah is lovely too.

I wanted Janet as her middle name, after my nanna but dp wouldn't have it :(

Shame as that was the mw's name too so it would've been perfect!

[anniewoo]

I know you said you didn't want a name beginning with A cos then initials would be E.A.T. but how often do you write your initials??? Erin Alanah / Alana / Allanah is lovely as is Erin Anna. I think the E followed by the A sound go very well together.

[monopod]

at Erin Perrin! Stephentica

anniewoo - I did go through the list of A names with some dismay when I liked quite a few of them, and you're right, they sound quite good together. I think I'll have to mull that one over a bit more!

Merlion - I too think the 'a' sound goes quite well! Erin Nicola and Erin Michaela are on our list at the moment, though not sure about the 'N' sounds running into each other.

Thank you all for your suggestions, 'tis much appreciated! :)

Erin Joanna

My DD is called Erin & her middle name is Georgia. This was put in memory of my grandad George though

Erin is an Excellent name choice if you ask me

[Jac1978]

Erin Grace

[sashh]

but then realised her initials would be EAT which strikes me as not such a good idea
but without her middle name it will be ET. But if you whant a theme you could go with Gertie or Drew.

Also avoid middle names with a C, M, and N, you don't want her initials that are hospital depatments or treatments for depression. I know you mentioned Erin Nicola and Erin Michaela but please don't, unless you give her the names reversed but call her Erin.

[monopod]

Thanks again all!

lovesteaandcake -

sashh - DS' initials are EMT too; DH and I decided that ET wasn't a reference that would be amusing/pejorative/whathaveyou in his generation (don't tell me otherwise )

I can see a possible no-no with ENT but the acronyms ECT/EMT are probably a lot less well-known?

[sashh]

ECT/EMT are probably a lot less well-known?

Maybe - but what if she becomes a Dr?
