Still can't find a middle name!!

[Tea1Sugar]

For our dd2 who will be here in about 8 weeks. So yes we've got time but after 31 weeks of pregnancy we're still nowhere near decided!

Her first name will be Emilia (em-ee-lee-ya) last name also begins with E.

Need a monosyllabic middle name that's not one of these as they've all been vetoed by one of us!

Grace (only as it's dd1's middle name I love it)
Rose
Kate
Claire
Fleur
Jade
Jane
Paige
Maud
Joan
Anne
Hope
Faith
Beth
May/maye
Fay/faye
June

So yes, virtually every monosyllabic name! Help!!

Love Emilia Charlotte. If it's between Jane and Charlotte I would go with the latter. I think it's fine with a three syllable surname.

IMO Emilia is quite 'frilly' so a simpler mn like Jane balances it nicely.

Jane goes really well, I think. Simple and classic. Ignore your Mum!

But I thought it was on your vetoed list?

tea1Sug... I started the thread about same middle names for siblings. Didn't go diwn well with the mumsnet lot. but tgen again I've just been reading a thread in pregnancy about "demonising" of pubes or the removal of pubes, or something. Anyway, hence I have returned to good old baby names. We're back to Amelia... but also can't think of middle name. I also love Rose but it's DD's middle name. And Grace is nice to but is niece's middle name & just a bit reluctant to copy.

We also need monosyllabic as will just flow better.

Emilia Beau??

[NadiaWadia]

Beau is a boys' name.

[TamerB]

But you could use it for a girl. ( not that I like it)

[TickleMyTitsTillFriday]

Emilia Clare or Tess are lovely but Emilia Wren won it for me

[baskingseals]

Jo

Belle

I'm put off the board too MrsRV some people seriously need to get a life!! I'm glad you're getting there with your name choice.

I've managed to pull back three previously vetoed middle names so we're down to
Emilia Jane (my mum keeps scowling whenever mentioned)
Emilia Claire
Emilia Kate (dp's aunts name who he doesn't exactly see eye to eye with but also my best friend's name).

[MrsRV]

ha...!! I didn't realise it was you that had started the post until I just saw your most recent comment!!

Some people really are dicks.

Anyway... I like Kate... I added Amelia Kate to our list after DH suggested Katie for a first name. I think our daughter really actually might be called his... DH just doesn't know this yet. He likes Amy but we can shortern Amelia to Amy.

Jane is my least fave from your list... top fave still Rose though.

Beau is unisex ! (Beau/Bow/Bo)

[NadiaWadia]

'Beau' is the French word for beautiful (male). For beautiful (female) it is 'Belle'. So it just seems a bit odd to call a girl 'Beau'.

'Bo' - well that's different, think maybe it's Scandinavian or something?

[Tea1Sugar]

Our baby finally has a name for when she makes her appearance! Thanks for all the suggestions! We've settled on Emilia Claire :-)

[TickleMyTitsTillFriday]

As a Clare I approve! beautiful!

[SarahPatricia]

Lily?

[SarahPatricia]

I once looked after a little girl called Octavia-Star. Not to everyone tastes but it suited her

[ItsWarmerInTheSouth]

Emilia Joy?

[Tea1Sugar]

We've chosen Emilia Claire :)
