Hi would like some opinions on this name.
We would like to name our little girl Grace Olivia Jules (surname H@zel) but worried it doesn't go. Jules is both mums nickname as both are Julie but don't like that. Grace and Olivia are just names we like. I'm just wondering is it weird for her to have two middle names as my little boy only has one middle

I don’t think 2 middle names is weird but if you’re worried you could combine the two into Julia?

KiplingAngelCake · 28/01/2019 12:18

I think it's lovely and don't see any issue with 2 middle names for DD and 1 for DS.

Butterfly84 · 28/01/2019 13:38

I would personally only give her one middle name as your DS has one and I would want them to match.

Grace and Olivia are nice. I don't like Jules personally. It just seems like too much of a nickname. What about Julia?

How about Juliet instead of Jules?

WH1SPERS · 28/01/2019 13:51

Olivia Julie or Grace Julie

Don’t like Jules as a given name, fine as a nickname

Lovely name

May I change my mind, please. I really like the name Julie and think if you are using it to honour the 2 Julies, you should use Julie.
Thanks.
Good luck.

It's a nice name but the Olivia Jules bit reminds me of Jamie Oliver's wife.

dayonara · 28/01/2019 20:16

There was a Helen Fielding book/ character called Olivia Joules so it reminds me of that. Personally would go with Julie, Juliet, Julia, Juliana etc rather than Jules.

Lovely - DD1 had 2 middle names, DD2 has 1.
DM doesn't have a middle name but her bro had 2 - doesn't need to be the same.

DramaAlpaca · 28/01/2019 22:59

I think it's fine, it looks almost as if she's got a surname as a middle name which isn't that unusual.

I'm still bitter (only a little bit) about my brother having two middle names when I have just one, so I'd be inclined to make them both alike.

nocluenoidea · 29/01/2019 00:17

I'd go with Olivia Jules

RedDwarves · 29/01/2019 08:54

Grace Julia or Grace Juliet.

I would drop Olivia - it sounds too clunky.

Astronica · 29/01/2019 09:33

Grace Olivia Jules is a great name and makes perfect sense with your mothers both being Jules. I wouldn't change a thing. Jules sounds more modern and fresh than Julie to me. Not a big deal having 3 names, and if the brother wishes he had 3 you could always add one in... though I think it's fine as is.

My first daughter has 2 middle names and the second only has one. I don’t think that’s an issue.
