Sadie Hope. I really really dislike Rae- it is very overused and in my opinion a bit chavvy.

Ilikeyourdecor · 22/10/2023 19:54

Juniper Hope or Juniper Rae.
I like Zadie Rae too.

ScruffMuffin · 22/10/2023 19:35

Alma 😍

Alma Hope
followed by Alma Rae

Marnie - Hitchcock. Not keen
Juno - a lot to live up to. Not keen
Margot - Maggot. Likely to be very popular after Barbie film. Not keen
Nelly - the elephant. Nell is nice
Sasha - fine
Marley - and Me. Don't like it
Nixie - Big Nix (knickers). Just np
Junie/Juniper - no
Zadie - . Not keen but it's not awful
Alma - fine

Middle names
Allegra - lovely
Rae - Surname. Filler middle name usually for a naff first name
Hope - filler middle name. Makes me think Hopeless

It depends on your surname, does the first name go with it?

Allegra is by far the nicest name on your longlist

OopsieeDaisy · 22/10/2023 00:19

Either Marnie Hope or Marnie Allegra. Not keen on the other first names and would steer clear of Rae as it’s so overused.

Watchthedoormat · 21/10/2023 23:54

Marnie Rae
Or
Zadie Rae

Alloveragain3 · 21/10/2023 23:52

Margot Allegra but I think Margot is becoming uber popular now

DaftQuestionForToday · 21/10/2023 23:04

Margot Hope

I wouldn't normally put them together, but definitely my preferred option from your lists.

Dani2206 · 21/10/2023 23:01

Sasha allegra

Theoldwoman · 21/10/2023 22:53

Margot Hope

Maireas · 21/10/2023 22:46

Sounds like a car. The Alma Allegra GTi

Kaamos · 21/10/2023 22:39

Alma Allegra

shoopshoopdedoo · 21/10/2023 22:39

I like Marnie, Sasha and Alma. The others all feel a bit too trendy - Juniper Rae in particular seems very 2023! I come across loads of little Juni’s and Rae’s, whereas I don’t know any older ones at all. If I had to pick one of your middle names, I’d go with Hope.

caerdydd12 · 21/10/2023 22:22

Nelly will attract nelly the elephant jokes.

Juno Hope is awful. 2/3rds of the name is "no hope."

PatsWoggle · 21/10/2023 22:19

I don't like any of the middle names but if you must then I'd go for Hope with Marnie, Margot or Juniper.
I love those three names though so maybe a combo from those three

Marnie Juniper
Marnie Juno but I also think Marnie June is lovely.
Margot Juniper
Juniper Margot (live Junie as a nn)

Hohofortherobbers · 21/10/2023 22:06

Marnie I love, I like Margot too.
If I had to choose from your second names I'd choose Allegra.

EineReiseDurchDieZeit · 21/10/2023 22:05

You need to nix Nixie obviously

Junie Allegra

MaloneMeadow · 21/10/2023 22:03

Sasha Allegra or Sasha Rae

HJ40 · 21/10/2023 22:01

Juniper Rae
Margot Allegra
Juno hope

Slipslidinginthefray · 21/10/2023 21:36

Juniper Rae is an amazing name! I wish I’d thought of it. Love it.

BoleynMemories13 · 21/10/2023 21:33

Nixie is terrible, you can scrap that for starters!

I really dislike Marley for a girl too. It's a boy's (or dog's) name.

Zadie sounds weird too. Sadie is nice though.

Junie, as per the other post, is a big no as a given name. Nelly isn't for me either as a given name, although I love Nell.

None of them are to my taste tbh but the others are all ok.
