Still early days but beginning to think of names for our daughter. Surname begins with H and is 3 syllables.

Willow Grace H
Willow Belle H
Autumn Grace H
Autumn Belle H

We also like Bella but not so keen.

What are people's thoughts on autumn? Some people we tell absolutely love it and others hate it!!!

Too many Willows about these days where I live ( NW)

If you really like Bella then what about Isabella Grace.

Willow Hope
Willow Joy
Willow Ida

Really dislike Autumn... So would go with Willow Grace Smile

Or
Willow Eva
Willow Ann
Willow Jean

I know two Autumn Graces, so I guess it goes together.

I really like Autumn but find Willow a bit insubstantial. Belle is too twee for me, so I guess Grace in the middle although it's unfortunately a filler middle name.

Some suggestions:

Autumn Zoe
Autumn Elise
Autumn Lucy
Autumn Hannah

Autumn for me. I always worry about a child being called Willow and going through a podgy phase! I maybe over thinking that though. I think Autumn is a lovely name.

For the middle name, of the two I prefer Grace, Belle for me feels a bit Disney Princess, fine on a 7 year old girl but I can’t imagine it on a 40 year old woman!

Can't bear the filler name Grace or Rose. I like both your first names. How about Faith instead?

Thank you all. I think it would need to be a 1 syllable middle name as the surname is long and it just seems to sound better. Would be open to other middle names 🙂

Both Willow and Autumn are beautiful! Grace is really common (widely used) but as a middle name I guess that doesn't matter as much, I think it flows better with the first name choices than Belle.

Willow grace

LyraVega · 11/11/2021 21:13

I don't mind Autumn but I prefer Willow

Willow Grace would probably be my choice!

AreYouRightThereSkippy · 11/11/2021 21:10

I like Willow and Autumn a lot!

Grace is ok. I'm not fond of Belle.

I'd probably say Autumn Grace is my favourite, but Willow Grace is nice too Smile
