One or two middle names

9 replies

We have decided on Evelina for our daughter due soon.

We can’t decide whether to use one or two middle names. DS only has one, I wanted two, but DH wanted one so we went with one. DH says it’s up to me with DDs name and he’s happy with either, but I’m finding it hard to choose (or make any decision lately Confused) getting this far with names has been hard enough as I’m a bit of an overthinker!

So which do you prefer:

Evelina Alice or Evelina Alice Rose.

Or are they terrible?

Ive always loved the name Rose for the middle spot, but wouldn’t want it to be the only middle name as it’s become a bit of a filler (DH prefers Alice anyway)

We have a one syllable surname if that helps.

Thank you!

Not EAR for initials op!!

I would stick with one since that what your son has. Evelina Alice is fine.

Santaispackinghissleigh · 20/12/2018 17:02

Dd has 2 mn and other dc don't mind!! Just consider initial scenario!!

I'd keep it in line with sibling

Just have one. Although I would go with Evelina Rose, Alice doesn't flow as the names end and begin with the same letter so it either jars or an 'r' sound is created - 'Evelina Ralice'

I'd go for just one if the sibling has only one.

I might still be bitter that sibling has two & I have one

SnowyPaws5 · 20/12/2018 23:32

One because her sibling has one.

I'm not a fan of Evelina. It seems like Angelina and Evelyn merged together.

Evelina Alice.

No need for Rose.

I do prefer Alice Evelina, though, just to be difficult.
