Hi all. I was recommended this website by a friend so bare with this long post, I'm really sorry.

We are having a little girl, who will join brother Jameson Ellis.. we want to name the girl Hadley, to nickname Haddie... now the middle name we've chosen Bear ... I know it may seem very 'Cheryl Cole and Liam Payne' but I don't want it to be that way.. we have fallen in love with the name Hadley Bear! I also worry about what others think... way too much! I know I shouldn't as it's our child at the end of the day and chances of her using her middle name is second to none, only on important occasions/documents.. but I still worry! Other option we have is Calliope 'Callie' Sage... but we do love Hadley Bear. Seems like a lovely combo.. anyway. Let me know what you guys think, if you have any other middle name suggestions for Hadley along the same lines feel free to share! We also have Arabella Nova as backup if all else fails! Or any name combos at all! We like the following first names:

Callie
Hadley
Scarlett

Thank you
AshSmile

You guys make a very good point... I think it’s settled we will disregard the name! I didn’t think of that way :-)

Really don't like.
I hear 'Hadley' as a surname and really don't like surnames as first names.
Then 'Bear' is an animal, or a stuffed toy. It really isn't a good thing to call any person, but somehow even worse for a girl.

Hadley Bear sounds very masculine to me. However, Callie is gorgeous

Hadley bear sounds like a toy. With a first name like Hadley, I think you would be better going for a more feminine middle name as I would assume Hadley is a boys name.

Scarlett is a name I have always loved and Callie is nice too.

Adore Calliope!
