Thanks!! DH loves Darcy Emilia and dispite getting other opinions - im still torn ...

We will see firstly if i have a pink one and then if i do what we think flows when she is here. Weve well and truly narrowed it down now though so thank you xxx

Isn't there a family name you could use for DD's middle name? I think middle names should be a link to older generations - it's nice to look back over generations and see family names cropping up.

So many people seem to use a 'matchy' name or their second favourite first name choice. It's an opportunity to connect your baby to their family.

My Ds and Dd have my DG's first and last name as their middle names as she was the only Great-grandparent not to be alive to see them - she died when I was pregnant.

Darcy Emilia!

DAF is a trucking firm. You get a lot of DAF on truck grills. Not a reason to not to go with an ‘A’ but I have a few friends whose regret the combination of child’s initials. So whatever you decide, just a quick google of initials might be useful.

I like Darcy Ada personally :)

morningconstitutional2017 · 12/10/2018 11:55

Darcey Emilia sounds nice.

ArchbishopOfBanterbury · 12/10/2018 10:45

Isobel, or Alicia/Alyssa

KurriKurri · 12/10/2018 10:40

I'm throwing Elizabeth into the mix - just to be awkward (and because I think it goes well Grin

janejane2 · 12/10/2018 10:07

I think Isobel works best! Smile

Deliphant · 12/10/2018 09:51

Isobel - definitely!

Meet0nTheIedge · 12/10/2018 09:33

Isobel or Emilia - I don't think I'd want to give the initials DAF and I think Florence Flowerson is a bit of a mouthful. If you do go with Florence spell it with an e not an a.

whoseafraidofnaomiwolf · 12/10/2018 07:54

Isobel

VerbenaGirl · 12/10/2018 07:49

Ava or Emilia

CountFosco · 12/10/2018 06:14

although i don't think any od them really flow as all three names have a lot of syllables

Good thing you don't know me. All our kids have 2 middle names, one from each family and so their full names have 11, 8, and 9 syllables each. Their names are like mini haiku Grin

AhoyDelBoy · 12/10/2018 06:06

Florence!

NatureIs · 12/10/2018 02:09

Darcy Ada sounds a bit like Darth Vader! Wink

littlemisscomper · 12/10/2018 00:40

Isobel.

Volant · 12/10/2018 00:08

NOT Mae, whatever else you go for.

April2018mom · 11/10/2018 23:06

Daisy?

Jeippinghmip · 11/10/2018 22:20

Isobel

SheGotBetteDavisEyes · 11/10/2018 22:18

Darcy Florence. No one ever really actually says the whole name out loud more than a few times a year, do they?

Or Darcy Isobel.

MollyHuaCha · 11/10/2018 21:46

Isobel

Disfordarkchocolate · 11/10/2018 21:44

Isobel and Florence for me.

BalloonDinosaur · 11/10/2018 21:42

I like Isobel, think it flows well with the rest of the name.
DS would've been Isobel if he'd been a girl though, so I'm potentially biased.
