Help with middle name

13 replies

SuzyDaFloozie · 21/04/2015 09:12

We are registering our daughter's birth this morning and still not agreed on a middle name. Given the criteria I think our options out limited but I thought I'd rack your brains first.

We are naming her Lara and want a middle name that flows nicely so ideally not one that starts with a vowel of ends with an A. We also can't have anything beginning with a J or with a strong L sound in it as it just doesn't sound right with surname.

I thought Maeve went well but OH has got cold feet. Grace is the other option but OH is not overly keen on it and it is a bit of a filler name - think ann or Marie from the 70/80's.

Help please

Lara Madeleine?

Lara Grace is pretty.

Do J names really not go with your last name? I can't think why it wouldn't. I like Lara Juliet.

Lara Naomi
Lara Beth

I LOVE the name Lara but unfortunately Dh not a fanSad

I like Lara Maeve, it's really pretty. I also think Catherine or Kate sound good with Lara.

Thanks for time and suggestions everyone. Was given the run around trying to get into see a registrar yesterday so out most of the day, stupid system where I live.

To answer questions, really couldn't go with a J name as surname begins with J do it made it a bit of a mouthful although I did like Jane and Juliet had same 3 first letters of surname so even worse. I also liked Kate but just felt I should really use full name of Katherine which I didn't like so much. OH made decision in the end and went with Maeve.
