We have a boys name picked(Zephyr) & we already have a son called Mason. There’s a few girls names I like but not sure which sounds better:

Arabella rose Chisholm
Arabella poppy Chisholm
Sapphire poppy Chisholm

I originally picked Arabella poppy but now I’m not sure if it sounds right, I would like a floral middle name as my name is Claudia rose & my sister is Erika daisy & I had picked poppy as a middle name as my partner likes the name & my gran used to call me poppet when I was younger.

Arabella viola Chisholm? Does that sound better than the above names?

I had thought about arabella viola rather than violet as I thought it flowed better with the surname(Chisholm) but I really like poppy now I’m so confused

Just thought of Arabella Violet?
I think it would need something a bit stronger sounding than Poppy.

Arabella rose - fine but rose is a bit overused asva middle name
Arabella poppy - I thought of Poppy-Ara....
Sapphire poppy - Sapphire's a bit naff

Yeah I agree that’s why arabella poppy started sounding a bit off to me although I like Evangeline poppy too & that doesn’t sound too bad. I think it’s the letter ‘b’ in Arabella thats throwing it off.

There’s only 4 girls names I like & I have looked at thousands, Emerald & Evangeline being the other 2, I really like Evangeline poppy but I don’t think anyone would call her by her full name it would be Eva or Evie. I’ve always loved Arabella after hearing the arctic monkeys song called Arabella & it means answered prayer & we’ve been TTC so the name felt right.

Arabella Rose.
A one syllable middle name goes best with a four syllable first name.

Arabella Poppy.

I went to school with an Arabella and she was the sweetest girl. And I would name my own daughter Poppy with DP would let me!
