Our daughter's name is Elizabeth. We would like to add a middle name on her birth certificate and the deadline is tomorrow. We would like to choose a name which flows nicely with Elizabeth, but more importantly to give her options should she decide to be known by her middle name.

The choices are as follows:

Elizabeth Sophia
Elizabeth Sophie
Elizabeth Alice
Elizabeth Amelia/Amelie
Elizabeth Olivia
Elizabeth Emma

Which name do you prefer and why, please? Thanks!!!

Thank you ladies. I agree with you regarding Olivia, does not go that well. Amelie/Amelia are nice names, but overused. I like the combination Elizabeth Alice, but together may sound a bit old fashioned; also, are they a bit similar sounding? Like Rose and Grace, but decided not to go with any of them.

If you were to choose between Elizabeth Sophia and Elizabeth Sophie, which one would you choose?

Congratulations :)

Definatley elizabeth sophia. Gorgeous name.

poocatcherchampion · 09/09/2013 22:22

Alice as well.

Elizabeth is lovely and has so many nicknames that she already has loads of choices available.

I like all the middle names as well. I think Elizabeth Alice is my favourite and also really like Elizabeth Sophia. Olivia, Emma, Amelie and Amelia are overused at the moment although they're all good names.

I think a one syllable middle name is nice with Elizabeth.

Elizabeth Mae
Elizabeth Grace
Elizabeth Rose
Elizabeth Hope
Elizabeth Faith
Elizabeth Jane
Elizabeth Belle
Elizabeth Brooke
Elizabeth Dawn
Elizabeth Tate
Elizabeth Niamh

Congratulations on the birth of your daughter!
Elizabeth is a beautiful name; I agree that Alice goes - and flows Smile - well as a middle name.

Elizabeth olivia is a bit of a tongue twister but the rest are lovely.

Elizabeth sophia is my favourite.

Purplelooby · 09/09/2013 22:06

I like Elizabeth Emma.

Bowlersarm · 09/09/2013 22:06

Any but not Elizabeth Olivia. They sound too similar, and I don't think they go together.

DessieLou · 09/09/2013 22:03

Elizabeth Sophia gets my vote. I think it flows really well plus gives her the option of using both Sophia or Sophie if she wants.

looki · 09/09/2013 22:03

Elizabeth Sophia - but tbh I think there are enough options for her to 'change'' her name significantly using a variant of her first name.

MoonlightandRoses · 09/09/2013 22:02

Firstly, congratulations.

Secondly, out of your list I like the flow/sound of Elizabeth Alice best. Slightly more old-fashioned, but Elizabeth Anne could be another option?

MrsLovebucket · 09/09/2013 22:00

My vote would be for Elizabeth Alice. Sounds lovely. Congratulations!
