Middle name for Leocadia

[EllenDegenerate]

I think, hope that we've decided upon Leocadia if this baby who is due for eviction in less than nine weeks is a girl.
Struggling for middle names.
Other DDs are Sylvie Jacinta and Delilah Elisabeth.
Any ideas?

Sorry no MN suggestions!

I love an unusual name and I'm quite into names, but I've never heard Leocadia before. It's fab! I like masculine NNs for girls names too so love Leo too (not that it would have to shortened but most several syllable names inevitably are.

[hoddtastic]

i quite like Leonora (my latin teachers name, think it's dutch?)

Lenny or Nora as a nn?

[EllenDegenerate]

that's just as well Colonel because Jan was never going to cut the mustard (and I had to google who Jan Leeming was)

Hodd thanks for your suggestions;
I don't like either Ramona or Margaret and Frances, Jennifer and Elizabeth are the names of close family members so cant be used, although I do like Jennifer especially.

[TheColonelAdoresPuffins]

I like Leocadia by the way

[TheColonelAdoresPuffins]

With your surname it has to be Jan.

[hoddtastic]

I love all your others- and Ramona, Frances, Margaret, Jennifer, Elizabeth.

[EllenDegenerate]

No Hodd, it doesnt.

If anything it sounds like a kind of sleep disorder; it bears more resemblance to circadian rather than cardiac, do you see?

anyhoo yes we also have considered variously Romilly, Raphaella, Estella and Salome.

do you have any suggestions that don't strike you as something akin to a medical disorder?

[hoddtastic]

it sounds like some kind of heart problem.

Do you have any other names on your list?

[allegretto]

I would definitely go for a one syllable, simple name: Ann, Jane, May, Ruth. I like the name but don't think it goes with an L surname

[Pipilangstrumpf]

Love Leocadie Raphaella!

[OrlandaFuriosa]

Shame not another l, because leocadie Louisa learning has lots if attractions...

I like
Susanna
Anna or Anne
Leocadia Phoebe
Maria or Marie
Elizabeth goes with either
Leocadia Natalie

When is babe due? What's the appropriate season or nearest saints day? It's nice to have a name day as well as your birthday..

[AbernathysFringe]

Sorry, NRFT before posting. Love the origin of the name. Leocadie does flow better with the surname.

[AbernathysFringe]

As mum of a blonde, blue eyed Carmen with no Spanish heritage, Carmen is lovely and strong. What's the origin of Leocadia? Sounds Roman or Ancient Greek.

I'd also go a bit more unfrilly to balance it out, so...

Eve
Faith
Joan
Nicole

[BertrandRussell]

Are you absolutely sure your dd is going to thank you for this? Particularly with the alliteration?

[dailymaillazyjournos]

Either way it's a fab name imo. Still prefer it with a shorter middle name.

[SovietKitsch]

The Spanish pronounce it more like Lo -ca - dia not as a drawn out Lee-oh-cay-dia, which I think sounds nicer.

[dailymaillazyjournos]

What a beautiful name. I've not come heard of it. I think something on the short side?
Grace
May
Mary
Kate

[LunaLoveg00d]

I would assume Spanish heritage too - it's a great name but I immediately thought Spanish when I saw the thread title.

What about sticking with the Spanish theme - Montserrat, Alba, Amaia, Maite or Miren?

[BendydickCuminsnatch]

I know a little Leo(nora), think it's great! I've never heard of Leocadie/a but prefer it to Endellion :)

When I say Leocadie, the only MNs that are coming out are one syllable. Although I do think Leocadie Raphaella Leeming flows nicely.

[EllenDegenerate]

Or Lee-oh-Kay-dee

[EllenDegenerate]

Lee-oh-Kay-dee-ah

[EllenDegenerate]

The advice is most welcome,

Fwiw I actually enjoy the opportunities for banter provided by the likes of Lweji.

I don't want everybody to agree with me NL.
Indeed it's more fun when they don't
