Middle Name for Ivy?

31 replies

AriasMummy · 13/12/2023 09:48

So me and my husband have decided on the name Ivy but I'm really struggling to find a middle name I love! We have a daughter who is Aria Grace so that rules out Grace as a middle name. Our surname is quite long and ends in an 'Ah' sound so I was leaning towards a 1 syllable middle name like Ivy Rose or Ivy Maeve (I can't do Mae because I just think of Molly-Mae). But my husband doesn't like Rose and honestly I don't want to go as basic using Grace and Rose as our girls middle names!

I want a pretty name that has a nice flow, I really love Aria Grace so I want to lvy's name equally.

Some other names we have considered:

Ivy Belle- Not too sure if this flows, sounds like a name in its own right like Isabelle or Annabelle

Ivy Luna, Ivy Amelia- Not sure because they end in 'ah' like the surname)

Ivy Mabel and Ivy Aurora- I don't think these flow but I love both names on their own

Ivy Willow
Ivy Autumn
Ivy Jennifer
Ivy Isabelle
Ivy Elizabeth

And then I worry the longer names will be too much of mouthful with a 10 letter surname!

Any suggestions or opinions welcome!!

I think Ivy Elizabeth has the nicest sound on your list. I wouldn't worry about it being long you don't always say the middle names.

I also like Ivy May, Ivy Rose and Ivy Lou.

Ivy Leigh

When are you due OP?

If soon (ie around Christmas time) you could have Ivy Joy.

Ivy Elizabeth is lovely too as has already been suggested.

How about Ivy Jayne for 1 syllable?

I like Ivy Maeve. Also like Ivy Willow.
What about Ivy Wren?

My DD is Ivy Harriet, but we actually call her Ivy Bear!

This one of the few times that “Blue” would work. But it sounds familiar, so may have been done before?

GallbladderWoes · 15/12/2023 21:58

Ivy Ann/e or Ivy Bea

We have an Ivy Rose in the family but shes only ever called Ivy so it's not too big a deal in real life situations, if that makes sense!
