Elizabeth - middle name help!

[vanillafudgecake]

Hello,

I'm really liking the name Elizabeth for our first child and I can't get it out of my head. It could be used as a middle name potentially but I can't think of an alternative first name that I like as much.

If we were to go with Elizabeth as a first name I would like to add a middle name,so far we have come up with Violet and Victoria.

Any suggestions? Thoughts on Elizabeth and a suitable classic middle name?

Thanks so much

I love Elizabeth- we called our daughter Elizabeth Rachel!
I think most classic names go with Elizabeth and you have so much choice for nicknames

Elizabeth is beautiful and timeless. Lots of nickname options too.

My preferences for middle names are:

• avoid a name that you might want to use for a subsequent child if you had one
• if the child has a surname from just one side of the family (often father’s) then use a middle name from the other side of the family (often mother’s)

Also with Elizabeth I would personally keep the middle name short, just one or two syllables.

Does that help at all

Rose?

My baby name for a girl was Elizabeth Joy too.

It's a boy though!

I think a royal sounding name goes best with Elizabeth so Victoria is a good choice. Others would be:

Eleanor
Helena
Mary
Alexandra
Anastasia
Anne
Catherine
Jane

Elizabeth Violet is far too like Violet Elizabeth!

So definite no to that one

Elizabeth Hope

Elizabeth Violet gets my vote you don't want to overthink it or it will get very complicated that's a good mix of classic and traditional...

I really like a one-syllable middle name with a longer name like Elizabeth. And I think you want something similarly classic and timeless. So Rose, Ruth, Joy, Grace, Anne, Jane would all be lovely. I think I like Elizabeth Rose best.

Hope is nice too. But if you want something that starts with a V how about Viola, which is shorter (sort of), avoids the Violet-Elizabeth Bott association and is a lovely classic name in its own right?

I came on here to say Elizabeth Joy but I see others have got there first!

I think a long first name needs a shorter middle name so

Elizabeth Victoria is a little too Royal and I think Violet Elizabeth flows better than Elizabeth Violet

My dd is Elizabeth Mary Ray
My darling mum, dad and step mum's names.

Oh wow!

Thank you so much for all of your lovely responses so far

I like Elizabeth Anne (and this would be family names from both sides) but we also have a one syllable surname so could do a longer a middle name.

So many lovely names have been suggested already that I can add to my list, it's so hard choosing

Elizabeth Anne is perfect! Short, family connection, names go well together
