Middle name for Seren

28 replies

Wait4nothing · 19/03/2018 22:09

We’re struggling to decide on a middle name for baby (sex unknown but decided on boys name).
First name Seren.
Dh doesn’t like my favourite - Rose.
Contenders are Elizabeth, Marie, Grace but we’re not convinced on any of them. Any opinions/other suggestions welcome.
(We don’t want a welsh middle name - dd1 has a welsh first name and ‘English’ Middle name and we’d like the same for this one)

Seren Rosanna is lovely !
Or Seren Rosaleen.

Seren June is lovely, especially if there’s a family connection. I tend to think that that’s what middle names are for.

What about Rosa or Eva/Evie if you like Rose and your DH likes Eve?

Seren Mariella

I think Rose goes very well. Could your husband be persuaded on Rosa perhaps?

I know Seren is a Welsh name but all I can think of is Dipity or Ity. Which isn't helpful.

I always suggest family names for middle names as no one ever really uses them and it can be a nice way to remember someone - my children like the fact their middle names 'mean' something.

Ooh I like Seren Josephine! And Seren Grace. Seren Matilda? Seren Violet?

Anne is a great middle name but agree maybe not with Seren- sounds a bit like Suriname!

I like Grace and Marie from your list - Marie was the first one that came to my mind.

I also thought of Elise for some reason, but again not sure if it flows too well with Seren. Just seen another poster also suggested it!

Not a fan of Rae but I do like Rose.

Other short R options....
Seren Rosa
Seren Remy
Seren Romy
Seren Rhea
Seren River (maybe a bit 'out there' but I actually quite like it!)

Dh also likes eve but I can only think of Christmas Eve - daft I know but that’s what comes to mind.
Not sure on joy. We’ve discussed June as a family name but not sure it sounds right (think it may be the n sound like Anne)

I like Anne but not sure of the ‘n’ sound after the ending of seren.

Thank you - I do like Seren Victoria but it sounds like quite a mouthful in comparison to our dd.
We had another look after posting last night - opinions on Seren Rae? I like the shortness and R like rose. Not as traditional but dd1s isn’t.

Anne. Its my middle name and hugely underrated. I love my middle name, I tried for years to convince people it was my forename.

If your DH doesn't like Rose but you do, maybe a lengthened version? Rosamunde, Rosalind, Rosabelle or Roseanna?
