DC2 due in June. I have my heart set on the name Erin for a girl.

I'd like to honour my side of the family in the middle name- DS has dh name as middle name. My options are below:

Grace
Elizabeth
Jane
Rayner (if family on here this will be outing-was my grandmas middle name but could consider spelling differently-raina/rayna)

Any thoughts?

Erin Grace is lovely.

You could have Erin Grace Rayner.

I genuinely like all of your options. Unusual for a baby names thread!

Erin Rayner Grace is nice.

How is Erin pronounced where you live? Our neighbours had an Erin but her dm called her Urin!!

AnyaMoondial · 26/04/2018 16:57

I think Rayner is fab as a middle name. Erin Rayner is perfect.

So pleased Rayner seems popular. I've always liked it and thought my dh would veto it but he is a fan too.

I really like the sound of Erin Rayner. Erin Grace Rayner if you fancy a double middle.

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 26/04/2018 18:03

Erin Jane.

Reyna is a popular Spanish name meaning queen. I've always liked it. Rayner as it is is nice too though!

April sorry just saw your question. I'm in the Midlands so everyone seems to pronounce it eh-rin.

Thanks for everyone's comments

Erin Elizabeth

My first thought was Erin Grace Rayner, and then I saw Love's post!

Rayner is unusual, but as you are using it as a middle name, I think it really works. And as you are using the name in honour of your relative, I think you should stick with the original spelling

Would love to know what you decide on.

Erin Rayner.

Grace is a lovely name but over used

Hello all, as promised an update. Erin Elizabeth was born on Wednesday. 8lb 11oz and breech!

We decided to go with Elizabeth as a middle name in honour of my Mum and great Grandma.
