Give me some of your favourite long middle names please,something special,maybe a guilty pleasure that you'd not dare use Grin

After my battles with boys names I just want to enjoy forming a really brilliant girls name,
We seem to have settled on Flora,it seems 'right' somehow.

I think you want to avoid a name ending in a -
it is just too frilly in my view. Clemency? Seraphine? Violet?-Penelope? Christobel? Emmeline? Genevieve? Rosalind?

This is a thread that is right up my street Grin

I know you have had Jessamine, but what about Jessamy? Only very slightly different but definitely different...

George-names and P-names are out because of our surname.

Georgiana ?

Tatiana ?

ScrambledSmegs · 14/10/2013 20:15

Ooh, Vivienne! Nice. Also Genevieve.

FishfingersAreOK · 14/10/2013 20:15

Just do not give her Flora "A" without adding something else - to avoid the potentially awkward initials Grin

Guinevere

BodyUnknown · 14/10/2013 20:14

Love Flora Perdita and Flora Vivienne... I wish I'd thought of either of those three years ago..

ScrambledSmegs · 14/10/2013 20:14

Celestine (I think I just made that up)

Calypso. Not that long but awesome

On a tangent, does anyone else think Cymbeline would be a lovely name for a girl, despite the play being a) about a man and b) the story being horrific?
