15 day old Phoebe without a middle name

Hiya,
My baby girl is now 15 days old and we've named her Phoebe. However we can not get a middle name that both of us love.

DP wanted Emilia which I originally agreed to then woke up the following day all hormonal and In tears about it. It's a lovely name but for some reason just doesn't seem to be my phoebes name.

I quite like Isabella but am not 100% if it's the very best out there?

I like really girly flower vintage and sometimes granny names. I love things like Daisy and Betty but they don't really work with Phoebe, and DP has vetoed both Hmm

Apart from Emilia he likes Megan and that's all- Megan is def not an option although again I think it's a lovely name.

My brains not working right now so I'm leaving it up to you ladies.

Please name my baby Grin

Phoebe Maud

Recently met a Maud and think it is just about the most gorgeous, feminine and yet heroic sounding girls name!

When we (hopefully) concieve I want phoebe as my girls name and she will be -

Phoebe Louise - then phoebe Lou for her nickname.

My dd1 has Morna as her middle name. It's Gaelic, and means "beloved".

Dd2 is Jessie. It was my Gran's name.

Not sure if it helps! Phoebe is an awesome name, she can cope with any middle one with that!

Phoebe violet
Phoebe Elise is lovely (someone else's suggestion)
Phoebe Louise

KristinaM · 12/08/2014 12:15

I agree that a one syllable name starting with a consonant sounds best

But a family name is also lovely

Pleas post the names of your ( and your Dps ) nicest female relatives and friends so we can choose Grin

We also need an indication of your surname please

I don't know why but I think the two names sound beautiful together

Congratulations on the birth of your daughter

I know a phoebe Elise. But people sometimes misread it as Elsie -which doesn't "flow" as well.

YY sunnyrosegarden

Phoebe Alice?

sunnyrosegarden · 11/08/2014 20:22

I would pick a family name. Granmothers, Great Grandmothers?

Failing that, something personal - Summer? A flower that was in bloom when she was born?

I think of first names as their own name, and middle names as a way of providing a background or root.

What are your names and mothers'/ grandmothers' names?
I think a single syllable name works best.
