I would also like to put in Joy....
However does this sound totally ridiculous with the first name Grace as they are both ‘virtue’ names
Does Grace Evelyn Joy sounds silly?

Other ‘third’ option is
Eva Aurelia Joy

Evelyn Or a variation of must be included but not as a first name - it’s my grandmothers name.

Any other ideas would also be welcome as I’ve three weeks left and stressing now!

Grace Evelyn Joy is really lovely.

I think lots of combinations could work but I would not combine Evelyn and Aurelia in any way, it just sounds very clumsy.

Joy Evelyn Grace would be my choice. Or just Joy Evelyn.

You know ever use the middle names in anger anyway!

Grace Evelyn Joy is nice. As a pp said, you’re unlikely to call her by all three names so the two virtue names won’t matter.

Aurelia Grace would be my choice but I'm guessing Evelyn is a family member you want yo name her after. They're all lovely names though.

Grace Evelyn, with or without Joy, lovely name.

ComicePear · 23/09/2020 07:35

Grace Evelyn would be my choice.

Joy is lovely but I don't like two middle names, and Aurelia Evelyn is a bit of a mouthful too.

I don't really like Evelyn, but it's an honour name so fair enough. I don't like Eva at all, and using Eva to honour Evelyn is a bit like saying you don't like Evelyn.

Not mad keen on Grace (the meaning is nicer than how the name sounds) and Aurelia is too frilly and princessy.

Grace Evelyn Joy is the best option, or you could just use Joy Evelyn

How are you pronouncing Evelyn?

For me it's Evalyn which I think sounds lovely but not so keen on how the Eve-lin pronunciation flows with Grace

I like grace evelyn joy, most people wont know her full name so it doesnt matter about 2 similar meaning names imo. Not a fan of aurelia

Thefaceofboe · 23/09/2020 07:27

Grace Evelyn Joy sounds lovely. I wouldn’t worry about 2 virtue names because realistically how often are you going to say her full name.
