A week to go...

[Spottyladybird]

I'm due in less than a week with DC2. We don't know the sex of the baby but have decided on Henry John for a boy.
For a girl we can't decide between:
Matilda
Madeleine

With either:
Ivy
Grace
Vera
As a middle name.

DD1 is Phoebe Rose.

What do you think?

[Coey2016]

Not very helpful but I love both Matilda and madeleine. Only thing that might make me choose Matilda is less likely that people will spell it differently?

I like Ivy or Vera as a middle name as I know so many girls with Grace.

Matilda Ivy.

Love Matilda. I like all your middle names but think Matilda Grace goes really well.

[Pluto30]

Matilda Grace.

Madeleine and Matilda are "similar" names to me, because Madeleine is often Maddie and Matilda often Mattie. But Matilda won't have spelling problems, like Madeleine/Madeline/Madelyn etc. will.

Matilda Grace would be my pick of your possible names but they are all nice!

[Sugarpiehoneyeye]

Matilda Grace is lovely.

Madeleine Grace

Thank you! Still confused. We'll have to wait and see what it looks like.

Matilda Grace is beautiful & easy to spell

[Spottyladybird]

Spelling doesn't worry me too much- my eldest is called Phoebe!

[CakeRattleandRoll]

Madeleine Ivy. I think it would be nice for sisters to each have a 'nature' mn.

[Dontrocktheboat]

Madeleine Ivy - but all are nice. I'm not so keen on grace as a middle name just as it is so commonly used.

[Spottyladybird]

I think the same about Grace. We used Rose last time and half the girls her age have Rose as a middle name. The other option is Lily as a middle name but I think it sounds a bit clunky.

[LolaStarr]

Matilda Ivy. Grace is nice but as you say it's very commonly used as a middle name now. Lilly is even more popular around here, both as a middle name and a first name!
