A good middle name for...

DH and I love the name Gaia.

We had pretty much decided on a middle name, Rose... But it's very common these days as a middle name.

Any suggestions very welcome!

Surname in two syllables stating with M.

Do you want to carry on the earthy/naturey theme ?

Rowan, Ocean, Iris?

Or one your/the baby's grandmother's names?

Rose is fine too though. Maybe the commons offsets the uncommonness of Gaia?

Probably not, would prefer something more classical and feminine, so Rose seemed perfect. Just don't want to feel that we're being completely unimaginative!

Gaia Mae?

jugglingmonkey · 25/04/2015 20:00

Mae is pretty... But a bit twee for me (perhaps Rose is too though).

Other girls names I like, if indeed my 5 week old sesame seed is a girl:

Romilly
Anoushka
Anna
Stella
Lauren/Lara
Caro

Gaia Dawn?

MuttonCadet · 25/04/2015 20:02

Aurora?

jugglingmonkey · 25/04/2015 20:02

Dawn is lovely, and quite timely... DC due on New Year's Day so I've actually considered that!

Anne, Eve, Jane, Ruth (if you want something short).

Otherwise how about: Caroline, Frances, Harriet, Madeline, Margot, or Valerie?

Gaia Felicity?

jugglingmonkey · 25/04/2015 20:17

Hmmm not so keen on many of those I'm afraid. Dawn has tickled my fancy, I also like Eve, but it doesn't roll off the tongue very easily!

Dawn is a fabulous name. Gaia Dawn. Exquisite!

CPtart · 25/04/2015 20:23

Faye
Catherine
Louise
Roseanne
Rachel

Eve is even more unimaginative than Rose

Paloma
Estelle

Eve is rather fitting for a child due on New Years Eve though.

Quasilulu · 26/04/2015 01:13

Gain Dawn is delicious.

Another vote for Gaia Dawn-beautiful!

Rhubarbgarden · 26/04/2015 13:36

Gaia Dawn is lovely.

jugglingmonkey · 27/04/2015 10:04

Thanks all, Gaia Dawn it is! For now, at least!

I'm ridiculously happy that you've picked my suggestion Grin

Allthatnonsense · 27/04/2015 19:18

I still like Rose.
