Hiya probably my 10,000th name post. Due in 4 days now and STILL havnt found that perfect middle name.

What do you think of Phoebe Violet? (Violet as a middle name not double barrel)?

Actually full name would be
Phoebe Violet June June After my nan.

Other suggestions that slot between Phoebe and June welcome - do not want to just use Phoebe June.

Thank you x

Just gorgeous - go with it :)

They are nice names but they sound a bit awkward together. That might not matter for a middle name though. I think it's because if the two syllables and then another two.

Maybe a three syllable name would be good. Phoebe Elizabeth June. Phoebe Eldlweiss (if you like flowers Grin) June.

I think it sounds lovely, and very rarely are all the names going to be said together.

Phoebe Violet June is gorgeous. Stick with that :-)

I like Phoebe June. Out of all 3 June is the nicest. Simple, strong and rare.

Eelseelseels · 20/07/2014 07:57

Love it.

Rhubarbgarden · 20/07/2014 08:06

I love Violet. Not keen on Phoebe.

goshhhhhh · 20/07/2014 08:17

Thanks all.
I put it to DP this morning - this name came to me at 5am lol
He's not keen Hmm
He wants Emilia as a middle name that's been his 1 and only suggestion in 9 months! I do like it but not sure I love it and Phoebe Emilia June is a bit long

Phoebe Lydia June.

Xpost..
Emilia works fine, and is a good compromise if that is his only contribution.

MamaPain · 20/07/2014 18:38

I think if Emilia is his only suggestion you should definitely use it, plus it's a lovely name. I actually think it works better than Violet, but then I always read Violet as Violent.

As many others have said before, middle names are hardly ever used in everyday life, though when first chosen they can be a graceful compliment to other family members. They may seem very important when a baby is new, but, after that, apart from on official forms, they are rarely referred to.

Phoebe Emilia June is absolutely fine.

Alisvolatpropiis · 20/07/2014 19:25

Oooh Violet is such a good middle with Phoebe!

Emilia also works well though.

June is lovely too, but not really commenting on it as it is obviously the mainstay name of the middles.

GilbertBlytheWouldGetIt · 20/07/2014 19:31

Why not June as first name?
