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.

I like Bronte Arabella - just a nice flow (and btw, I think Bronte is a lovely name)

As you've mixed your older DC with those inspire you is there any other author/inspiration who has a surname that's workable as a middle name?

Christie if you liked Agatha Christie for example or Plath if a Sylvia Plath fan.

I think the negative connotations are the similarity sound wise to Monty. I actually quite like Monty too - both names I thought a bit meh then really grow on me. Similar to Blair.

A lot of MNetters dislike surname type names.

OP, how are you pronouncing Bronte? Is it Bron-tee or Bron-tay or something different?

Just wanted to say that although we have very different tastes in names, I think the fact that your kids all have "different" names and your reasons for choosing them is really cool. Bronte definitely fits in with the theme, and as a "sibset" I think it's an awesome set of names. Much more interesting than Harry, Olivia and William.

I love the name Bronte.

Bronte Elizabeth is the name of my totally fictional daughter.

Love Bronte Lily.

Bronte is a beautiful name!

Educated people are not put off by it

Bronte Beatrix is lovely.

It reminds of an amazingly talented musical star I saw in Shrek called Bronte Barbe. So yeah, great name.

I vote Brontë Rose!

Why are so many posters so rude and comment negatively on a name the op has already chosen? Do you do this in real life too?

OP what about giving a child their own name and NOT after someone you personally admire?

And that comment to vixx was a personal attack

Brontë Beatrix (or Beatrice)
Brontë Heather
Brontë Elizabeth (or Eliza)

Sorry but thinking of bronte-saurus

Well calling someone a cow obvs isn't ideal but Vixx was unnecessarily rude to give OP a mean comment about her existing children's names when that isn't the topic of the post.

My fave so far is Brontë Rose

Posted too soon....the Rose is a good combination as the softness of it balances the hard 'T' sound in Brontë

She could have said "that comment was uncalled for and I don't appreciate it" instead of "you cow"

One is pulling up the phrase the other is a personal attack

Another vote here for Bronte Rose.

I love Harper and Cole

OP:
As you've said that you are naming your DC after the literary sisters, then you'll also know that the authors' dad in adulthood changed his own surname from Prunty or Brunty to Bronte..

So it seems particularly in the spirit of homage to the Bronte family, to call your DC, (or yourself!) by a name of your own choosing (or invention), that YOU find appealing.

Vixx personally attacked me. How can it not provoke hurt & upset & not cause an upset reaction to say something like that? And Soubriquet and Navy why do you stay on my thread when you don't like my daughter's name & don't want to help me pick a middle name?
Orange, I'm not naming her after the Bronte's sisters dad so I don't see why that matters.

Are you American OP? Your name choices (especially surnames as first names) sound like it. Not having a dig, it's just if you are then you're probably not going to get the response you want from a predominately British audience! They're all very 'big' names. I actually quite like Bronte to be honest but wouldn't use it myself. Bronte Rose is nice.

I really like the name Bronte. There was a lovely Bronte on the Andrew Lloyd Webber find a Dorothy show, she was fab.

I really think Catherine goes best as a middle name. Or possibly Elizabeth. The others compete too much.
