my kids have unusual first names and followed by 2 middle names. my daughter's middle names are Jean after my nan and Honey (no idea where from it just goes well)

dd2 due in 8 weeks is going to hopefully be Dottie and then have Sylvia as a middle name after dh's mum but between her first name and that I want an off the wall ish name.

so far i have come up with:

Dottie Blossom Sylvia
Dottie Lilac Sylvia
Dottie Velvet Sylvia

i know they are not to everyone's taste so i'm not looking for slating - just ideas for any other combinations or preferences to what sounds right??

thanks in advance

I think you need to be careful of it sounding too twee. I would probably avoid names that are also nouns What about a slightly plainer middle name.
Dottie Jane
Dottie Lynn
Dottie Rose
Dottie Mary

Dottie Sylvia is nice on its own

Japple - that's because May goes with every single name!

I actually know a Dottie May.

"Dottie Lynn....."
"Dottie May......". My Husband said, I like the Sound of This sentence-
"Little Dottie May is playing in the yard-"

I thought Dottie Plum!

Cherry was the first name that sprang to mind.

Love Dottie Lilac Sylvia...it's great.

My suggestion otherwise = Dottie Moonshine Sylvia (just like the sound) but Lilac is better!

Dottie Desiree - should have an accent on the first e i think, but too fick to do them.

dh's granny was Dorothea Desiree, and known as Didi. i think they go really well together.

congratulations Grin

Lottie!

I don't like Velvet because it sounds a bit like a material, velvet with dots on.

Lilac is the same I suppose with the material thing, but, er, I'll ignore that because I like Lilac.

Blossom is Ok.

Lilac is my favourite!

glendathegoodwitch · 20/09/2012 14:31
