We're down to two names:

Grace Martha Elizabeth
Grace Theodora Elizabeth

Which do you prefer? Thanks!

Grace Martha.

I think Grace Theodora Elizabeth rolls off the tongue better but I like Martha individually over Theodora. Helpful Grin!

AdaColeman · 07/02/2019 14:55

Grace Theodora Elizabeth is beautiful.

I don't think Martha fits very well with Grace Elizabeth.

Thank you for all the responses! We have quite a long surname (3 syllables). Do you think it would be better to have just one middle name or can we get away with two? Don't want to burden her with a really long name! Elizabeth is a family name we want to use, but I would also love to use either Martha or Theodora too. Just struggling to decide which one!!

Grace Elizabeth works well with either of the others after it so if you have one you really prefer (I suspect Martha) you could do this

Grace Theodora flows better

Long names aren’t going to be as problematic in a digital era in the way it would have been for us - very few things that require full names are done by hand.

If you want to shorten it you could go for a diminutive like Grace Martha Beth
Or Grace Eliza Theodora etc

Grace Theodora Elizabeth but prefer Martha as a name!
Why not just Grace Elizabeth, three names will be rather a lot with a three syllable surname Wink

DramaAlpaca · 07/02/2019 23:16

I don't like Martha so of the two I'd say Theodora. But I prefer just Grace Elizabeth.

Grace Elizabeth Martha sounds better to me

bridgetreilly · 07/02/2019 23:57

Personally I'd call her Dorothea Grace Elizabeth.
