Middle name for Fawn

[Ukfirsttimemum]

Hello all

I am set on Fawn as a first name for my first baby girl, does anyone have any middle name suggestions?

I like everything natural and botanical but as Fawn is already a little unusual I don't want anything too unconventional for the middle name.

I also like retro and classic style names

The only combo I have right now is Fawn Ava

I really like this but has already been Eva's and Ava's around us last few years.

Keen to use a variation of lily if poss

I know a lot of the above don't flow well just giving examples of the style I like

Please help xx

Be careful: Fawn sounds like phone. It could sound like Phone Adele etc

I agree with a PP that Fawn works beautifully as a middle name but it doesn't work with any of the names mentioned.

Faun Aster
Faun Rowan

I think it needs to be a similar nature name. I'm not struck on it though. Although it'll be a cute newborn, I can't imagine a 80 year old Faun.

She will spend her life repeating her name when people go “Fern?” at her. But I do actually like it, can’t think of a middle name that I like with it though, so I’d probably not bother and just have first name, surname (my father, mother and grandmother all managed without middle names).

^Fawn!

Fawn Miranda sprung to mind, but I really like the Fawn Evelyn suggestion.

You don’t really need a middle name. If you can’t find anything you really love to go with Fawn then just leave it at Fawn. I don’t see the need for a middle name unless you are going to use it on a regular basis. I see a middle name as a place to use a name that might mean something to you but you didn’t like it enough to use as a first name. Eg, my son’s middle name is after my husband’s father who passed away many years ago. I didn’t want it as a first name. If we’d had a girl then there wouldn’t have been a middle name. That’s just my very humble opinion. I know most people have a middle name.

This is the problem with the Faun(e) spelling (AFAIAC);

Fawn Evelyn is the best IMO. But Fawn really does work well as a middle name with lots of the names mentioned here. The one name that absolutely doesn't work is Fawn Lily- Rose.

FWIW, OP I really like Fawn.

Fawn Rochelle
Fawn Elise
Fawn Greta
Fawn Luna
Fawn Marissa
Fawn Willow

I think PP's suggestions of Fawn Rowan and Fawn Willow sound lovely!

Fawn Meadow
Fawn Raven
Fawn Lilias

They do sound a bit "coloured" though - like you, fawn was the word
we used until taupe came along. It's no worse than Scarlett however.

what about Flora ? or Cedar ? Rosa ?
i know three different dogs named fawn! :-s

i think fawn is pretty cute for a little girl, i just cant imagine a woman at work , in a professional capacity being called it/ reading it on a C.V.. it's a bit like a babyish nickname rather than an Actual name (imo)
sauna is the immediate place my brain springs to when i read fauna sorry!
As a middle name i think it wud b a nice acknowledgment to your love of nature, but i wdnt want to b named after a deer personally

Thanks so much everyone, really helpful to hear how it sounds to everyone else's ears. I don't mind the mythology connection at all I think it's interesting but I can see how that could be problematic for a young girl. Prefer the fauna flora imagery. For professional life I would like to have another more conventional name such as Evelyn that can be used if preferred but I think in 25 years Fawn will not be that unusual compared to many others of her generation. I agree it's a good name for a pet too! Thanks again all.

Based on this thread I'm leaning towards Evelyn Fawn McH... going by Fawn

Juliet
Alexandra
Mirabelle
Arabella
Seraphina
Lucinda

I prefer Fawn as the middle name as it flows better with many of the pretty names suggested.
Speaking as someone who is known by their middle name I wouldn't knowingly call someone a first name expecting they might/would use their middle name instead. It causes problems with banks and other things requiring identity these days.

Faune is wrong sorry. Fawn or Faun is ok apart from to fawn is not a pleasant thought.
I would avoid a colour middle name. Rose/Amber/Scarlett/Blue.
Could you use it as a pet name for something else - Fiona maybe?

Fawn Elise
Fawn Ellora
Fawn Onora
Fawn Matilda
Fawn Pandora
Fawn Anaïs

Any Le Carre fan is going to think of Fawn, the violent and slightly unhinged ‘babysitter’ ( Codename for bodyguard/minder in the novels)

For that reason I think of it as masculine name.

Nice though, and really doesn’t need a middle name.

Flora, or Fleur would flow well I think as a middle name.

Flora Fauna Mc**?

Don't let anyone put you off, it sounds like you really like the name. I can see it working on an adult. (I can imagine a newsreader called Fawn McH for instance!) I really like it and don't think people will think too much about it once they have heard it a few times. Would you regret it if you didn't use it? I think its lovely x.

Fawn Evelyn - go for it!
