No E or A names
Scottish nod (both Elliot & Arthur are also clan names)
Needs to be a saint name
Agnes for a middle name

Does need care with a surname M and middle name A . Initials of RAM , DAM, etc! But Sadie Agnes is nice - SAM!

Quite like Janie/Jane or even Jean ...

Not a fan of Bethany although nice and different.

Olivia and Charlotte too common now IMO.

Good point about initials.

Adore Sadie but a neighbor’s name- perhaps too cutesy too

I like Jean as a middle name- v nice.

My first choice is Agnes as a middle name

Other family names that could be used as middle names include Margaret, Christine & Nora

OP posts:
BabyItsAWildWorld · 02/02/2021 18:46

From your choices I love:

Frances
Christina

I'd concentrate on choosing the first name then choose a middle name that goes with it.

The first name is the one that matters.

I'd go
Christina Agnes
Frances Jane

MessAllOver · 02/02/2021 18:57

I like Matilda Agnes.

If it weren't for the "saint" connection, names I think go with Elliot and Arthur include:

Lucy/Lucinda
Sophia
Christabel
Josephine
Clemency
Catherine
Margaret
Penelope

Cora
Norah
Imogen
Ingrid
Judith

Congratulations!

memememe · 02/02/2021 19:06

Wilsonwilson · 02/02/2021 19:10

Beatrice was my first thought too.

memememe · 02/02/2021 19:13

florence?

BatshitCrazyWoman · 02/02/2021 19:20

Matilda
Isla

altiara · 02/02/2021 19:23

I really like Violet to go with the boys names. I see someone has already suggested it!

altiara · 02/02/2021 19:24

Or Viola Agnes? (Patting myself on the neck now!!)

altiara · 02/02/2021 19:24

Back!

Labobo · 02/02/2021 19:25

Isla
Jeannie
Moira
Morag
Sorcha

Labobo · 02/02/2021 19:25

Or Mairi which is lovely.

Diverseopinions · 02/02/2021 19:35

Clara.

Although, Flora margarine might even rename itself - like opal fruits and jif - and then nobody would make the association. It's a shame to discount it.
Cora is Scottish sounding.
Maybe Rita ( of Cascia).
Jean.
Moira.

fizzandchips · 02/02/2021 19:39

The standout is Flora!

Flora Agnes

Elliot, Arthur and Flora
