Baby name Meadow

Hi, we've been looking for a middle name that suits Meadow. Due to family connections we have been thinking Meadow Patricia. I'm not sure if this is too traditional for an untraditional name.

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

It doesn't really mesh to my ears, but if it's what you want go for it.

Shazafied · 03/03/2019 07:13

It doesn’t go well with Patricia though.

CircleofWillis · 03/03/2019 07:24

I love Meadow! Patricia doesn’t really go but it is a middle name and how often will all three names be spoken out loud?

Yes, it's so old fashioned. Shame as it's a family name. I'll keep thinking.

What made you decide on Meadow, OP?

Pommes · 03/03/2019 07:36

I like it. Similar to Willow which is popular.

I wanted a nature name. My mother died a long time ago now but I wanted a name that reminded me of her, so I wanted a nature name. Meadow was actually chosen by my partner but I love it too.

I know a Meadow aged 3. Shes lovely and it really suits her

Susannach · 03/03/2019 07:51

Meadow Patricia flows fine to me. I like that you’ve got a more old fashioned/traditional name in there with Meadow. Any other family names you like?

CocoLoco87 · 03/03/2019 08:01

I prefer Willow Patricia if you're sticking with a nature name

AuntMarch · 03/03/2019 08:03

Does it have to flow? It's a first and middle name, not hyphenated

Other family names would be Isla, June, Carol Elizabeth

Marlena1 · 03/03/2019 08:04

What about Patrice?

flumpybear · 03/03/2019 08:13

@Marlena1 - was going to suggest the same was thinking how to spell it lol

Roomba · 03/03/2019 08:25

Meadow is lovely. Reminds me of Meadow Soprano but I think that's just because I don't know any others.

BunloafAndCrumpets · 03/03/2019 08:46

I think meadow june works! Sounds sunny.

LancsPear · 03/03/2019 08:54

I like Meadow Elisabeth

jputthekettleon · 03/03/2019 09:05

I've got a Meadow so I'm biased but a more traditional middle name sounds fine to me. We did this using a family middle name ... so she has a choice of a more traditional name if she wants. It's not a popular name on here for some reason but I always get really positive reactions to it in real life. Sorry on a tangent it's not what you were asking. I like Patricia as a middle name.

youarenotkiddingme · 03/03/2019 09:12

Oh wow. Never thought I'd or heard of Meadow as a name.

But I love it!

Agree they don't blend as well as some people prefer middle names too - but how often do you actually use the names together? Middle names are generally family names given out of respect.

Susannach · 03/03/2019 09:39

Meadow Elizabeth would be fab!

Peachbubble · 03/03/2019 09:44

I like Meadow, not Patricia though.

RoseMartha · 03/03/2019 10:24

Meadow Fleur
Meadow Fern
Meadow Nancy
Meadow Elizabeth
Meadow June
