Best name combination

26 replies

What do you think is the best combination of these names on our shortlist? We are happy to/want to have two middle names and don't have very strong feelings about which should be the first name at the moment:

Clementine
Marigold
Artemis
Eleanor
Joy
Hana
Josephine
Nina

Thank you!

I vote Clementine or Eleanor as first name

DramaAlpaca · 23/10/2019 21:33

My votes go to Josephine, Eleanor or Clementine as the first name.

I'd have Joy as a definite middle name, and/or Eleanor if not the first name. The others would be middle name territory for me.

As for combinations, I like Josephine Eleanor Joy.

NameChange30 · 23/10/2019 21:37

I vote Clementine or Nina for a first name, they are both lovely. Eleanor is OK. I dislike the others.

As for middle names, I like to use names with a family connection (especially if you are only giving the child one surname, I would give a middle name from the other side of the family). I would also consider how the name sounds and whether it flows OK but I would want a shortlist of family names first.

Having said that, Joy is probably a good middle name as it's short and sweet. (I don't like it enough for a first name though.)

Oh some really good ideas here.

It's so hard because I really like all the names! I like Eleanor Josephine and Josephine Eleanor Joy but I also really like Nina Clementine and Hana Clementine. Probably Joy needs to be in there if we have two middle names? Not much love for Artemis!!

Clementine is my favourite fist name from your list but I'm not sure any of the others go with it as a middle name, except maybe Clementine Joy.

Eleanor Josephine is my favourite combination
