We have decided on the name Claire for our daughter, but are stuck on a middle name.
These are the potential options:
Alice
Olivia
Nancy
Maxine
Teresa
Joyce
Nancy, Maxine, Teresa and Joyce are family names (mine and husbands grandmothers names), so we would prefer to use them, but we are unsure if they go well with Claire.
I did think of shortening them, but I don't think the shortened versions work any better.
As for Alice and Olivia, they are not family names. I just like them and I think they go well with Claire. However, because they're not family names, I'm not totally sure if I've ready to commit to using either of them as the middle name.
Please help!
