Middle name for Hero

238 replies

Expecting a baby girl and we’ve decided on first name Hero. Our other children have unusual but not unheard of names with more traditional middle names but struggling to find a name that flows nicely with Hero. Our first mn pick was Emilia but gone off it a little now, any suggestions?
Our last name is rare but not ‘weird’ or able to be turned into a joke, and begins with an S.
thanks 😊

I think Hero is nice! You could stick with the Shakespearean theme - Hero Helena sounds nice

Hero is awful. Is it a name for a girl. Very strange indeed.

I really like Hera and it goes with eg Emilia. I know you don't want to jjear it but hero for a girl is a mistake

Aneeda.

Hmm - Hero really doesn’t seem to flow well with my normal suggestions! The following sound ok - not great but ok…..

Hero Grace
Hero Elizabeth
Hero Eleanor
Hero Sarah

Not a fan of hero for a girl either. Hera perhaps if you like that sound (though she wasn't the nicest of goddesses)

I'd go very simple for the middle name. Jane sprang to mind.

Hero isn't great. Does it go with your other kids names?

Yes. I don’t want to name our other children here just incase it makes us too identifiable, but my other daughter has a ‘word’ name (although has been used as a name for a very long time) and my son’s name is rarely heard but biblical.

Thanks for this unhelpful comment with a name I wasn’t asking anyones opinion on.

Hero is bad enough but Hero for a girl is rubbish.
