Middle name for Alice?

40 replies

troodiedoo · 13/04/2017 20:10

Surname is quite blunt and masculine sounding, beginning with p.

Possible contenders are:

Gwendoline (family name)
Maria
Ruby
Emerald (dd1 has jade so thought it would be cool to continue the gemstone theme)
Ciara
Cara
Naomi

Further suggestions welcome :)

Helen works for me, but I am a child of the 70s.

Alice Maria or Alice Naomi, from your list. I don't think your other names go well with Alice, sorry.

I also like Alice Louisa, Alice Josephine and Alice Noelle.

Alice Naomi works very well. Or:

Lucia
Amanda (I know, quite retro these days, but such a pretty meaning)
Clara (close to two of your suggestions, though I do like Ciara in particular with Alice)
Miranda
I'm not generally a fan of the name Ruby but it does sound quite good with Alice tbh...

I like Alice Gwendoline and Alice Emerald. How many syllables is your surname?

Thanks all for the suggestions, so many lovely names :). A few that have mentioned were on the shortlist but not made the final cut. Purely because we have to be ruthless here.

Surname is one syllable.

I'm not convinced Cara and Ciara work with Alice, lovely names though they are. Any of the others go well together. In view of the short first name and surname, I'd probably go for a longer middle name, so maybe Gwendoline or Emerald from your list.

Other ideas:

Alice Rosamund
Alice Madeleine

You are all on the same wavelength as me! I'm so glad I discovered mn.

Gwendoline is the front runner I think. Half tempted to give her loads of middle names Grin

Don't think any of your initial suggestions quite work as a pair though they are all lovely names.
