Second dd due in a couple of weeks, finally after changing my mind so much we have decided on final 3 names: Eva, Scarlett, Isabelle. Now stuck on middle names to go with them. Dd1 is Millie grace I do like grace as a middle name for Eva, but would it be silly to use the same middle name for 2 daughters? Any suggestions welcome for middle names :-) x

Yes I think it would be silly - there are thousands of names out there ! The obvious answer in your case would Be Rose or May or Lily as you do seem to like popular names.

I also think it would be silly. You could always call her after someone is you can't think of anything.

In would go for a more unusual middle
name with those names. I once taught a class with two Lily Mays.

Not bothered on the popularity of the name, just we happen to really like them 3 names. Would be nice to have a middle name that's not so popular maybe that still sounds pretty Smile

You wouldn't use one of the remaining two names? I think they'd go together quite well.

Yes, Scarlett Isabel is lovely.

Love Scarlett. Strong name.

manicinsomniac · 08/08/2012 14:32

I love both Isabelle and Eva. Not so keen on Scarlett

What about
Isabelle Eva
Eva Scarlett
Isabelle Rose
Eva May

I like Isabelle best of your list. Isabelle Scarlett would go nicely, or how about Isabelle Ruby, Isabelle Coralie, Isabelle Georgia?

Like both Isabelle and Eva, not keen on Scarlett.

How about Eva Isabelle or Isabelle Eve ?

I think they are all beautiful names.

In my family, we do the 'hand names down' thing - I don't particularly like my middle name (Patricia) but I love that it's my gran's name and she is the most astounding woman. Anything there?

Or something flamboyant and out-there. Lyra. Tallulah. Zelda. (Actually can't think of anything.)

Zara would be a great middle name to be a little different and goes well with Scarlett or Isabelle.

I would avoid Isabelle Eva as a combination (is a believer).

OhGood · 10/08/2012 12:03

God attheendoftheday please can I run all my names past you - very sharp eyes.
