Bronte Lily, Bronte Catherine, Bronte Elizabeth, Bronte Beatrix, Bronte Veronica, Bronte Arabella or Bronte Heather?

[Jadamba]

Bronte Lily, Catherine, Elizabeth/Elisabeth, Beatrix, Veronica, June, Arabella or Heather?
We've decided on the very lovely Bronte for her name. Will be adding umlaut on birth certificate but she can drop it if she wants as I'm sure it will be anyway.
Choose one and why please.

Like Bromwyn

How is Bronte pronounced?

I like it, it's very strong and bold. I'd go with Veronica.

I quite like Bronte, although haven't come across it in real life.

I'm not keen on any of your middle name suggestions though - I think a shorter, simpler middle name would work better personally.

Bronte Eve
Bronte Rose
Bronte Grace

I wouldn't go with Catherine or Heather - echoes of Wuthering H in Cathy and Heathcliff.

Bronte Maria sounds nice to me. Or Rose as a pp said. Of your list,Elizabeth

Some people can be very unkind. OP had already said she'd chosen the name, she wasn't asking for opinions on it

I love it by the way (although you didn't ask for opinions!)

I'd go with Heather as a middle name but I also like Bronte Faye or Bronte Rose

Is it after the lovely beach in Aus?

I like Elisabeth, with the softer S.

I'm not sure any of the second names flow for me. Lily would be the one I'd go for probably although bronte Ann was my first thought.

I like Brontë Arabella if that's any help!

I like bronte on its own. I guess you are a really big fan of the books and it is a big name to carry off.
I had a friend who had artist parents and she was called Monet. I liked that too.

I actually really like the name bronte but none of those middle names go apart from arabella! I wouldn't use a name beginning with b as he middle name it sounds a bit strange!

What about Bronwyn instead of Bronte?

Bronte sounds like a boys name

Lily. Definitely not Catherine or Heather as it then sounds like you're obsessed with 'Wuthering Heights' and not thinking of an individual child with her own identity. I thought the others were a bit too much of a mouthful myself

I think Arabella goes the nicest

Rose would also sound good

Bronte Rose is very pretty! Thanks for the positive feedback all.
Bronte we chose for the literary connection yes. Also big sister is Harper.

We have 15y old twins, Cole Andrew & Harper Allison, named after Nat King Cole & Harper Lee. We were teen parents but are married and very much together. We also have a 5yr old Louis Dominic named for Louis Armstrong & 3yr old Grant Brendan, named for Grant Mitchell, a sadly deceased fantastic broadway actor.

I don't think any of those middle names sound right, I think it needs to be one syllable, Jane or Rose?

it's not an umlaut its a diaeresis

Shallishanti they are the same thing.

The more children you have the worse the names are getting.

They aren't the same thing. They look the same but they do different things. A diaeresis shows that a vowel is pronounced separately from the vowel next to it (like in Zoë). An umlaut changes the sound of a vowel (as it does in German). I don't see why either is needed on Bronte actually, as it doesn't do either of those things.

Grant Mitchell? Oh man you should have called this one Peggy.

you can't put an umlaut over an e !

Hmm apparently a diaeresis can also be placed over a lone vowel to show it's not silent, like in Brontë. Fair enoufh9. It's definitely not an umlaut though.
