Middle names for Miles and Meredith

Alliterative title to draw you in Grin

So, we've finally decided on our names!! Still can't decide on the middle names though. I'd like to avoid anything Biblical/religious but it seems almost impossible to find a good name that wasn't a pope/saint/other so I may just have to let it go.

My name choices are also getting a bit more left-field as the pregnancy progresses, so I'm worried that hormones are having an undue influence! Let me know what you think of these and if you can suggest any others I might like. Much appreciated Smile

Meredith Isobel
Meredith Juno
Meredith Lucy

Miles Henry
Miles Leo

no more ideas... have already discounted loads!

Really like Meredith and Miles.

I think Meredith needs a nice simple / clean sounding name so as not to detract from the prettiness of Meredith. Like both your suggestions for Miles.

Thank you everyone. I really like Claire and Alexander, but they are both out due to unfortunate initial combinations.

I like Eve and Eva, but Meredith will probably get called Edie for short, so it may be too similar.

Really like Miles Benjamin, worried it was a bit too biblical for us, but as it's Old Testament and just the MN, it may not be such a big deal.

So, I like Lucy but it was the name of a horrible girl at school... how much will this annoy me?? I'm leaning towards Isobel for this reason if I can't come up with anything else.

I love Juno and think it would be a great middle name, but like all 3 names you suggest Smile toady.

Both boys' names sound good.

Shall also suggest
Miles Elliott
Miles Francis

Lovely names. I like Meredith Lucy and Miles Henry particularly.

I'd also suggest as middle names Eve, Clara, Anne, Sophie, and Ruby // Alexander, Reuben, Benjamin, Philip, and Anthony.

Meredith Kate is lovely. Also like Meredith Clare.

BNmum · 08/04/2013 14:36

Both boys names are lovely. I prefer Henry Miles, but still like Miles Henry.
Meredith Kate?
Meredith Amy?
Meredith Clara?
Meredith Seren?

BlueChampagne · 08/04/2013 14:31

Meredith Lucy is lovely. Leo is good with Miles.

reggiebean · 08/04/2013 13:52

I quite like a simple name with Meredith (my mom gave me a "different" first and middle name, and I'm still not thrilled about them!), maybe something like Meredith Anne or Meredith Lee or something?

I like both of the Miles ones!

Miles James or Miles Hugo

Meredith Jayne or Meredith Eva
