For our dd2 who will be here in about 8 weeks. So yes we've got time but after 31 weeks of pregnancy we're still nowhere near decided!

Her first name will be Emilia (em-ee-lee-ya) last name also begins with E.

Need a monosyllabic middle name that's not one of these as they've all been vetoed by one of us!

Grace (only as it's dd1's middle name I love it)
Rose
Kate
Claire
Fleur
Jade
Jane
Paige
Maud
Joan
Anne
Hope
Faith
Beth
May/maye
Fay/faye
June

So yes, virtually every monosyllabic name! Help!!

Although a lot of these are not really in at the moment, and a different style of name from Emilia.

Hi,

Can't really think of any more but I also think 2 syllables sound fine and there are so many more options!

Emilia Sophie
Emilia Charlotte

Something else with 2 syllabes not starting/ending with a vowel?

Brooke?

lilolilmanchester · 15/02/2014 17:05

Not monosyllabic, but Louise works well with most first/surname combinations

RaRa1988 · 15/02/2014 17:03

Why can't she have the name middle name as her sister? I think Emelia Grace sounds lovely Smile

NadiaWadia · 15/02/2014 05:55

Fern? (However you spell it)
Skye

MauriceMinor · 15/02/2014 05:55

Why monosyllabic?

She'll rarely say the two names together.

Isn't it better to give her a name you like based on sound, meaning or personal significance, rather than the number of syllables it has?

NadiaWadia · 15/02/2014 05:49

Eve? (Though you'll probably think it's too many 'E's. But good alliteration maybe?)
Bess
Pearl

It's getting difficult now. Can't you go up to 2 syllables?
