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

My own middle name is Jane - always hated it but I think that's just because it was a VERY common middle name at my school

Totally outing myself here. Will have to name change in future but my daughter's name is Arabella and her middle names are Elizabeth May. We also liked Arabella Rose.
Love love love the name Arabella. I had a doll with that name when I was little.
Daughter has ended up being called by a nickname nothing like any of those! Go figure.

NorksAreMessy · 08/12/2015 22:25

I actually think we might need a photo to help us to decide

ArabellaWhat · 08/12/2015 22:26

Honeylulu your daughter's full name is beautiful. Really lovely. As an aside what is her nickname?

Rose or Grace

Frazzled2207 · 08/12/2015 22:32

I immediately thought Jane but Joy is also nice. Def a 1 syllable name.

Dipankrispaneven · 08/12/2015 22:34

It definitely needs to be a short name, preferably with one syllable.

Inertia · 08/12/2015 22:34

Arabella Kate works really well- I think single syllable, avoid R and L sounds otherwise it all becomes a bit toothy to say aloud.

Inertia · 08/12/2015 22:35

Oh Joy is good!

febreeze · 08/12/2015 22:35

No name beginning with M as she may get teased (is m for Miller etc)

SleepyForest · 08/12/2015 22:37

Selena or Fabienne?

ArabellaWhat · 08/12/2015 22:37

OK norks I will see if I can upload a photo (not a guarantee, am IT inept)

I also like Jean and Kate from your suggestions but DH less keen
