Hi 👋🏼 all

Baby girl is here and needs to be registered in the next 2 days.

I think we’ve finally decided on Allegra for her first name but need to focus on a middle name now.

Looking for something strong and/or snappy to slightly temper the girly aspects of Allegra. It can’t also end in A.

Surname is fairly bog standard two syllable which most things go with.

Current list - please suggest more!

Xanthe
Beatrix / Beatrice
Camille (not sure this meets the criteria as it’s also quite frilly)

Thank you for any comments or suggestions!

Is Allegra girly? I guess that's personal taste. I like Xanthe the best, it's a great name.

@DramaAlpaca

Allegra is a very strong name, with that hard 'gr' sound. It's not a bit frilly. I'd put a softer middle name in, Beatrice goes really well, as does Florence.
Or Charlotte. Allegra Charlotte sounds good.
