Bad form I know, to post this on AIBU. However our baby is almost at the age limit for having her name registered and we've not given any thought to a middle name. My brain isn't working and she will want milk shortly so if any of you can suggest a name so we can get this form filled out I will be grateful Smile

Jane.

Friends of mine have named theirs Arabella Amore. It's quirky and suits her down to the ground.

I'm having to take breaks to see to the milk-muncher hence my delay in replying.

There are several names I'd choose here such as Beatrice (or Beatrix/Trixie which I love), Elizabeth, Diane, Alexandra for example but DH says no.

His favourite so far is Jane. I think he should get final say as Arabella was my choice

I was also going to say Joy, DD2 has that as a middle name, with a very similar first name.

Though we nearly went with Jane as well!

StompyFreckles · 08/12/2015 21:43

My first thought was Arabella Jane.

FattySantaRobin · 08/12/2015 21:44

My first thought was Jane too.

BrandNewAndImproved · 08/12/2015 21:46

I think jane goes weirdly and I don't like the name jane bit arabella jane somehow works

BrandNewAndImproved · 08/12/2015 21:47

Noo major x post I only skimmed the thread and didn't see it.

Maybe it's a book character in our subconscious.

I think you need one syllable so Jane is perfect.

I was going to suggest Ruth or Grace.
