Melody Jane
Victoria Jane

or save the Victoria or Victor for the next one.

@megadreamer8 Melody-Jane as one full name and then Victoria

Hyphenated names are very overdone these days. Avoid.

Melody Jane is better.

Adding Victoria is too much.

I wouldn't bothet with a middle name op.

Melody on its own is lovely. Plus i wouldn't use your mum or mil name as a middle name. They never get used and it avoids unfairness.

I feel like Jasmine is prettier than Jane as a name alone but Melody Jane flows better??

Melody is a pretty name too, I think it pairs well with something simpler to balance it out. Melody Jasmine is perhaps a little too frilly.

This is such a good point. My reasoning too. That Jane is nice and strong and simple next to the musical Melody. Thank you.

What do you think to Melody Jane Victoria? The surname begins with an M and is several letters/three syllables and ends on an consonant.

So 11 syllables: Melody Jane Victoria M*
(Vowel, consonant, vowel, consonant endings)

Or 7 syllables: Melody Jane M*
(Vowel, consonant, consonant)

Somebody suggested that it would sound better to have a consonant follow a Vowel

Also somebody suggested
Melody-Jane as one full name and then Victoria

Is it too long?

Melody Jane was the first one I thought of before even seeing your options so definitely that

itsgettingweird · 21/05/2024 05:49

Definitely needs a 1 syllable lide name with Melody.

So I bite Melody Jane

But also like

Anne
Fern
Eve
Grace
June
Joy

Hiker50 · 21/05/2024 05:45

Not Ann.
Melody might be shortened to Mel
Then she'd be Mel Anne

Melody Jane
Melody Elizabeth

Even before the page and your OP loaded i was thinking Melody Jane in my head. It has such a nice melodic sound to it.

Wickedlywearynamechanged · 21/05/2024 05:32

Melody Jane but I also like the suggestion Melody Anne

Definitely Melody Jane. Jane is a lovely, sweet, classic, and under-used name.

It is nice and simple. Especially next to Melody, I think it flows well.
But do I add Victoria afterwards? Would 11 syllable name be too long?

Does your mum have a middle name?

Melody Victoria could be an option too

Or you could go for something completely different if you wanted to avoid honouring MiL and not your mum

It's actually Ann :) but then I guess is the thought that I'd be leaving my MIL out. I suppose it depends what is nicer.
Which sounds better

Melody Ann or Melody Jane

Doctor Who character @megadreamer8 Melody Pond. First thing that came to mind when you said 'middle name to go with Melody!'

Oh haha! It sounds more like a last name 😅🤣
