Which do you prefer?

[Lovinglife2016]

We have only three weeks left until we have our first little girl. We decided on the first name quite early but have struggled to decide on a middle name that we love. Our shortlist is:

Eva Lily
Eva Grace
Eva Belle
Eva Mae

Which name do you prefer? All thoughts, both positive and negative are very welcome!

Thanks xx

I think Eva Lily is lovely.

I know two little girls named Eva; one is Eva Sienna, the other is Eva Florence. Both lovely names too.

Eva Grace!

Eva Victoria
Eva wren
Eva Penelope
Eva tabitha
Eva iris
Eva Mabel
Eva Dorothy
Eva beau
Eva pearl

Eva Alice

Eva Astrid
Eva Alivia/Olivia
Eva Alice/Alissa
Eva Avril
Eva Fiona
Eva Faye
Eva Hope
Eva Eloise
Eva Ellen
Eva Leanne
Eva Leona
Eva Matilda
Eva Iona

I love Leonore Artandco! We're considering it for DC3 if its a girl. I like Rae as well, and with Eva it's a nice alternative to Mae.

I love Eva but I would love to see a different middle name. Eva Grace would be my choice from your list but I think Eva could do with a longer second name just to give it a little something more.

Eva Annabel
Eva Sophia
Eva Cassia
Eva Eleanor
Eva Charlotte
Eva Beatrice
Eva Molly
Eva Isabella
Eva Poppy
Eva Iris

The risk of pairing up a popular first name with such popular middle names is that she might end up sharing her full name with other little girls, which personally I'd be a bit sad about. It's nice to feel unique :)

Where did the Mae come from it seems to be everyones go to recently.
My dds middle name is May after my Nana, hate that it's seen as a fashion thing..

Anyway sorry loving Eva is a great name I think Eva Grace is lovely

I love Eva, doesn't bother me that it's popular (and I've actually only ever met one under five in any case!). I like Eva Lily or Eva Grace. Grace, May/Mae and Rose are the middle names de jour at the moment if that bothers you. I like May as a name in its own right (my grandmother's name) but really dislike the spelling Mae, it seems made up. I don't like Belle.

The popularity of Mae as a middle name does put me of it, it's really hubby who loves that one. I know a few Ellie Mae's which puts me off as it is used frequently for double barrelled names as well as middle names. It's difficult as I know how popular Grace is from the stats, but I have only come across one in my niece's class at school. But I know there are a lot out there lol and there is a possibility that other children will have the same combo 😕

Septembersunshine I really like some of your names, a few have already been used by friends and family but Sophia, Charlotte and Isabella were all on my list.

I prefer Eva Grace. It's lovely.
