A middle name based on one of these...

[user1471547428]

I'd like to find a middle name for a girl based on a family name, but I don't love any of the actual potential names. Obviously it's just the middle so could use one anyway, but I thought you lot might have some ideas for interesting variants.

Name are:
Louisa (Anne)
Pamela
Barry
Eric
Cyril
Michael

Looking for a girls name although of course some of these are male originals.

I should say that Erica is not an option.

Cyd (based on Cyril)?

Oh or one based on Evelyn would work too.

Barbara
Michelle
Michaela
Cicely

Ella based on Pamela and Michael
Aria loosely based on Barry
Mia based on Michael
Ilaria based on Cyril, Barry, Pamela

Louis
Babette
Micha/Misha

Louisa (Anne) - Lois, Isa, Louie
Pamela - Ella, Mela, Pammie, Petra
Barry - Harry, Ray, Rae,
Eric - Ricky,
Cyril - Cy,
Michael - Mika, Elle, Mitchell, Mischa
Evelyn - Eva, Eve, Lyn, Lin

Combinations:

Pameroy
Errol
Louanne

Heather based on Eric. (Erica is the Latin name of a type of heather) :)

Eloise
Paula
Luanda
Evie
Evanna
Erin
Michelle

Pamela - Mila
Cyril - Ceciley

I'm crying - OP it's like basing names on my dad's Rank Xerox head office in 1976. By the time you find anything vaguely not City Rd office it'll be indistinguishable.

Barry, we used your name as a middle it's Benedict nn Ned 😂

Louisa is lovely! Anne is nice too.

Most of the suggestions have very little to do with the actual names.

Ooh, this is a tricky one.

Michael -> Michaela
Louisa Anne -> Anna, Lucy
Cyril -> Sybil
Barry -> Beryl

Barryetta?
Cyrilla?

Otherwise I think the names are going to be so far removed from the originals as to be worst case offensive to someone you were hoping to honour, or best case just a name that nobody gets the connection so you may as well have picked a completely different name that you loved in the 1st place

Yep a few degrees of separation going on but it does give me a bit more to play with!

Maybe in another half generation the originals will come back and there will be little toddler Pamelas, Barrys and Cyrils...

I'm liking Erin for Eric, that's reasonably close and I like the name.

Interested to hear any more too!

Michaela

Loving Dennis for Evelyn...

We're thinking Erin as it's pretty close to Eric (my grandfather) and my husband is Irish so it should make both families happy!

I'd go with Louisa as a middle name.
Combining two or more names could give:
Louisela (Louise and Pamela)
Barrel (Barry and Michael)
Erril
PamicLouisa (Anne)
Pamela
Barry
Eric
Cyril
Michael
Parry
Larry
Loril
Ericanne
