Double barrelled middle name?

[Boredinthehouse12]

Hello, I’m just looking for opinions on names for a baby girl. Which one do you prefer, or thinks flows best?? Each name has significance so we don’t really want to drop any.

Suggestions welcome.

Ava-Rose Adanah McGovern
Ava Adanah-Rose McGovern
Ava Rose Adanah McGovern

Thanks!

The 3rd one, with no hyphens.
No one outside of family (and even then only close family) knows/ cares about middle names aside from paperwork.

[Lollipoppit]

None flow flawlessly, the third one breaks up the A's and flows the best.

[WhoppingBigBackside]

Rose is a filler middle name and many other Avas will be Ava Rose
Hyphens tend to be naff

I really don't like Ava

[Boredinthehouse12]

Thanks for your input @Lollipoppit @FelicityPike

Rose was her grandmothers name, so define not just a filler. I’m not sure about the hyphen either. We still have a few months until she’s here so will see which one feels right @WhoppingBigBackside

[Boredinthehouse12]

Definitely not*

[Georgeskitchen]

Number 2 but without the hyphen

[HPLikecraft]

Third one. Hyphens are fussy.

[MrsBertBibby]

Third. Definitely no hyphens.

4th option - Ava Adanah Rose McGovern.

Although the initials will be AARM. Hate hyphens and think the sequence of the names flow better this way.

[MeredithGreyishblue]

She'll be Ava McGovern 99.9% of the time (unless Ava-Rose in which case she'll be Ava other than to you once she starts school!)

Honestly, choose whichever you like. It won't name much practical difference to her.

[PigeonPigPie]

Adanah Rose McGovern? Flows nicely and won't get lost in a sea of one hundred Avas

[DotDotDotDotDot]

Option 2 but without the hyphen. What’s the point of hyphens really?

That’s very true.

[LavenderRosemary]

I think the third option flows best.

[EishetChayil]

Adana Rose McGovern.

There are enough Avas now.

[Cas112]

Number two! Flows best

[toastofthetown]

I think the third one flows best. I would bother with punctuation. It’s just adding minor administrative inconvenience for no real benefit.

[Boredinthehouse12]

Thanks all, you’ve definitely helped us narrow it down as well as given us another option. Much appreciated

[Awwlookatmybabyspider]

Well you need to consider Do you want her to be just Ava-Rose or Ava when she goes to school, because the a hypen will make all the difference.
My personal preference is Ava Adanah Rose

[DramaAlpaca]

The last one. Drop all hyphens.

[TedsaidFred]

Ava Adanah Rose (no hyphen) flows the best for me. Middle names are so rarely used I don't think it's any problem giving her two. I spent a looooong time pondering the right middle name for my son and am somewhat disappointed that basically since his birth announcement its never seen the light of day! (obviously I could choose to call him by both names all the time but that's not practical in reality).

[TrashyPanda]

Ava and Adana really don’t go together
Too similar and staccato
I’d go for Adanah Rose

[Ceramide]

Ava Rose Adanah McGovern

[WeasilyPleased]

I've never come across Adanah before. How do you pronounce it and where's it from? Very pretty.

No to hyphens, always
