I need a middle name to go with the first name Taylor. The only names that seem to pair nicely with Taylor are the typical middle names for girls (Elizabeth, Anne, Grace, Mae, etc.), but I would like to avoid this type of middle name. I am looking for a name that is less common but not bizarre.

Taylor Faye makes me think of Gaynor Faye and Taylor Jo makes me think of Grocer Jack.

Congratulations, not Taylor Jean, it's too like someone hemming or altering their jeans.

One syllable or three works well, I like Faye or Josephine as they are quite strong sounds and Taylor Faye and Taylor Jo both sound really American in a nice way.

Why do you need a middle name? As you don’t really like any middle names it will only be a filler name anyway. Just go with Taylor.

This. You want a middle name for the sake of one.

If you do want one use your/your mum's/your grandmother's name or middle name.

Yep, as @Calliopespa says: Taylor Paige.

Could sound like a firm of accountants but I agree Taylor needs a stronger middle name.
Taylor Jean might work.

Agreed, but then I think that's the vibe isn't it? I mean Taylor Swift could be a law firm!

Sounds like both efficient and bespoke advice!

Riley, Peyton, Paige, Stella?

CoddledAsAMommet · 23/04/2026 18:23

The spelling Tayla is popular in Australia. While not my taste, it may be something you like, and less associated with Swift.

LastHotel · 23/04/2026 18:20

I think you need a more classic name in the middle.

Taylor should be the middle name IMO. Even if you're a massive Swiftie, there's no guarantee your kid will be and they may not thank you for saddling them with a name which is mainly associated with one person.

Definitely not Swifties! We just love the name. DH really likes names that sound more American.

When I was at school everyone had this for a middle name. Including me.

I don't think it works as it collides with the Lo sound at the end of Taylor:

Calliopespa · 23/04/2026 11:11

It's very untraditional so I don't think traditional names - Elizabeth etc - go with it at all. It's sort of jarring.

What about something like Taylor Madison?
