Thoughts for my girls?

[Sarahgrace123]

I had a recent thread earlier in my pregnancy of the name daffodil, that was quickly shut down but I am pretty set on the names Stella-Marie Joyce Mitchell and Adelie-Blaise Kathaleen Mitchell. I’m open to suggestions on changes but I’m just looking for opinions, cheers!

I like all the names you’ve suggested apart from Daffodil, that’s just cruel

Its not just a U.K. forum though...

Of course, and the OP can certainly post here. But when her response to practically every opinion offered is, "Well, I'm from Texas and that's how we do it here," it does rather seem to be a waste of her and our time.

I think Stella-Marie is lovely. Is Joyce a family name ?
I prefer Stella-Marie Joy Mitchell.

Stella-Marie Joyce Mitchell and
Adelie-Blaise Kathaleen Mitchell.

I don't like the hyphenated first names. I would go:
Stella then Marie or Joyce

Adelie sounds like it should be Adeline
Blaise is a boys name?
Kathaleen sounds like it should be Kathleen

Are you living in the UK?

If so, I would go with Stella Marie Kathleen You can use the first two names as a double name without the hyphen, and then she can choose to use one or both when she's older. (It is a bit pathetic, but in the UK double barreled names, especially the less "classic" ones, are often thought of as lower class).

Sorry, Kathaleen (totally fine to have a non standard spelling of a middle name, imo)

I read this a few days ago and the names keep popping back into my head. How about Stella-Joy and Adelie-Kate. Then just straight to your surname? Has elements of both the family names but cut down a bit. It doesn't use Blaise but you could always add that as the middle name for both girls as it looks quite like a 'family name'. So Stella-Joy Blaise Mitchell and Adelie-Kate Blaise Mitchell?

Would you also consider names that sound hypenated, but aren't? Something like Mariella (has the Marie sound and also part of Stella, but is a name in it's own right). I can't think of quite the same for Adelie-Blaise unless you went for Annalise or Adeline, Adelaide etc.

These have the sound, but are a bit less complicated than a hyphen and would leave a bit more room for a middle name...so Mariella Joyce Mitchell maybe or Adeline Kathaleen Mitchell (nn Adelie). I do like Adelie as a name on its own as well. Really pretty and close enough to Adele and Adeline not to sound 'invented'.

Sorry to stray so far from your choices and do appreciate the name culture must be different in Texas to UK!
