To ask for a middle name for Arabella at the eleventh hour?

[ArabellaWhat]

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

One syllable is probably best (I suspect your husband doesn't do long names) Rose, Grace, Kate, May or Joy.

Jane is too 70s.

If you did want something longer how about Arabella Sophia? I also like Elizabeth and Victoria

[SalemSaberhagen]

She is gorgeous.

Another vote for Pearl here.

You can't surely be using a name disliked by your DH? I have to say I am with him, Arabella is probably my least favourite name. It sounds so horsey. Sorry. Your DD is delicious though.

[RubyFlint]

She's adorable. Brand new with tags! 😀

[Iliveinalighthousewiththeghost]

Awww. Look at her little teeeny weeeny feet. She's like too cute. I could eat her all up. Welcome to the world baby Arabella. You're adorable.
Congratulations, op. X

I'm flabbergasted you would choose a name your husband hates. How come??
If he prefers classic names, I would drop the 'ara' bit and just go with bella.

Arabella Madeleine
Arabella Poppy
Arabella Noelle

[TaliZorahVasNormandy]

Oh she is gorgeous. Arabella definitely suits her.

I think Arabella May/Rose/Grace is the way to go.

[QuizteamBleakley]

She's v beautiful. Arabella is a lovely name, I like a shorter middle name with a longer forename. Arabella Jane = A.J when she's teens - I love that but do you?

[NorksAreMessy]

what a poppet!

[ingenue]

Imogen?

[CelestiaLuna]

What about Jane Arabella if your husband really hates the name Arabella?

[Mmmmcake123]

What a beautiful gorgeous lovely lil one!!!
Arabella means prayerful according to a very quick Google search.
Arabella Hope might be nice

[DobbinsVeil]

Now I've seen her photo she has to be
Arabella Scrumptious-Sweetheart

Congratulations x

[DobbinsVeil]

Although ASS is unfortunate combination!
Instead maybe just Arabella-Scrumptious

[Mmmmcake123]

Dobbins haha
Arabella Scrumptious sounds good to me

[ArabellaWhat]

LOL at Dobbins suggestion! :D

I see a couple of people have asked the same question as you arethere about picking a name DH hates. It was difficult because neither of us could think of a name we both liked and he suggested using it in the end. We had both suggested various names the other didn't warm too. I probably exaggerated when I said he hated it, we just struggled to find an alternative.

Anyway that's why DH is getting to choose the second name.
