Middle name help?

Looking for inspiration for a middle name. We've decided on the first name (Kirsi- it's Finnish, I'm Finnish) but need help on the second name.

Because DH was raised in England (though he's Swedish, and we now live in Stockholm) we use English names, just as we use Finnish first names for me.

Which do you like most-
Kirsi Eleanor
Kirsi Elizabeth
Kirsi Elenora
Kirsi Isabelle
Kirsi Jemima
Kirsi Annabelle
Kirsi Coraline
Kirsi Marissa

Which do you like?

Coraline gets my vote Smile

All the names are nice. How do you pronounce Kirsi?

picnicbasketcase · 26/09/2012 19:37

I like Elizabeth

Narked · 26/09/2012 19:39

If it's 'Cur - sea' then I think it sounds nicest with the three syllable names. So:

Eleanor
Isabelle
Jemima
Annabelle
Coraline
Marissa

But then I suppose it depends on how you'll pronounce those too!

My favourites are Marissa, Annabelle, Isabelle and Coraline.

Marissa. I love the name Kirsi. Have a nice Finnish colleague Kirsi.

LaplanderAndProud · 26/09/2012 19:54

Yes, it's Cur-sea, but there are a few variants (I knew someone with the name, ages ago, who pronounced it 'Kerrz-i). I think my favourites are Kirsi Coraline (though the similar sounds at the start might sound odd?) or Kirsi Annabelle, or Kirsi Marissa.

baskingseals · 26/09/2012 22:40

really like Kirsi Annabelle - my favourite

TodaysAGoodDay · 26/09/2012 22:42

Another vote for Kirsi Annabelle.

BlueChampagne · 27/09/2012 16:44

Kirsi Marissa

YoullLaughAboutItOneDay · 27/09/2012 16:48

I love Coraline, but I don't think it goes with Kirsi, sorry. But then I am not a fan of alliteration in names. Of your favourites, my vote would be Annabelle. I agree it sounds nicest with the longer middle names.

Kirsi is really nice.

PunkyPod · 02/10/2012 21:30

Kirsi on minun serkun nimi Smile

I think Marissa sounds the best.

Onnea!

MarshmallowFarm · 02/10/2012 21:50

Isabelle, Annabelle, marissa and Coraline sound best to my ears...

Lyftiduft · 02/10/2012 22:49

I like Kirsi Jemima
