I like middle names to mean something, like your name or a relatives name.

Have you thought about dedicating the middle name to a loved relative or close friend? It doesn't have to be the actual name, variations and nicknames could work. But if you really can't think of any name you like yourself, it's ok not to have no middle name.

I read somewhere that for flow, middle names should have one syllable more or one less than the first name - not sure it always works but on that basis...

Do you have to have a middle name? The women in my family never seem to have middle names - I've no idea why, but dd and I have decided it's tradition now.

Anything but Rae

Agree with those suggesting a family name of name with some personal significance rather than just a random choice

Definitely not Rose, May or Grace!

wanttoshareyouropinion · 09/02/2023 19:20

My DC's middle names (they each have two) are all family names (names of grandparents, great aunts etc).

plumduck · 09/02/2023 19:19

Not a nature name or rose, may or any boring name like that.

Try Jessica?

wishing3 · 09/02/2023 19:17

Eve
Ann

FayCarew · 09/02/2023 19:01

Not a nature name.
Willow Brooke sounds like a housing estate.

My suggestion would be the name of a relative, like a grandmother, great-grandmother or aunt.
Elizabeth is nice, but initials might spell a word or acronym.

Is there a family member whose name you can give her as a middle name? Most of the middle names in our family are of the parent's grandparents ☺️

I like middle names with a family connection behind it, rather than just a random name,

MissHavishamsMouldyOldCake · 09/02/2023 10:45

Give her the unfashionable name of a much loved relative.
