For a girl, the middle name would be Elizabeth or Olive (whichever suits the first name best) and for a boy, the middle name would be John. Let me know your thoughts!

MrStarkIDontFeelSoGood · 17/08/2018 23:59

Esther Olive and Gregory John

inajam · 18/08/2018 07:18

I’m so pleased to hear people liking Gregory! That’s the main one DH is a bit unsure of but is my favourite Wink (sorry Dolly!)

It is going to be very hard to pick just one, but it seems Elizabeth is the most popular middle name choice.

I love Esther, It's due a comeback I reckon!

Esther Elizabeth and Edward John

CakeRattleandRoll · 18/08/2018 13:55

Esther, Tabitha or Martha

Edward or Louis

inajam · 18/08/2018 14:49

So adding up the numbers, Martha and Edward are top runners, with Esther, Arthur and Gregory close behind. (Ive taken Benjamin off the list today because I’ve realised I didn’t love it as much when people were saying yes to that one, and also his initials... Blush)
My personal favourite for a girl is Edith so I’ve kept that on the list too Wink

I think Alice Elizabeth is such a beautiful name, as is Grace Elizabeth.

I also like Gregory John and Louis John. On its own I love the name Benjamin but I don't think it matches with John as well, not that it matter much

Not keen on the middle name Olive, you'd have to go for a more unusual first name for it to match

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 18/08/2018 18:50

Louis John.
Alexandra Olive.

itssquidstella · 18/08/2018 18:52

I like the following:

Esther
Alexandra
Alice
Beatrice

Edward
