Hey

We’ve settled on Ada for our little girls first name but just trying to decide on a middle name that goes nicely. At the minute we have:

Ada Rose
Ada Rae

?

Thanks

Rose is sooooo boring, every second girl has Rose as a middle name.

Personally I’d go for Ada Elizabeth or something else classic as a middle name.

rosieposies · 09/11/2019 07:49

I love Ada Rae

How many syllables are in your surname?

Rainbow91 · 09/11/2019 07:52

I know Rose is such a common second name but I do love it haha.

There are two syllables in our surname.

Rae is truly awful. Rose is a lovely name but it gets overlooked as a middle name. I’d put it first and go for Rose Ada.

I do like Ada Rae though sounds a bit country & western in a good way!

MrsBertBibby · 09/11/2019 08:33

Ada Verity

Mumshappy · 09/11/2019 08:35

I was thinking of Ada Grace when I was pregnant with ds.

Frith2013 · 09/11/2019 09:26

Never Rae. I’ve no idea why it’s so popular.

NoSauce · 09/11/2019 09:29

I would choose a beautiful middle name, so she can change it from Ada if she wants to!

Leahd89 · 09/11/2019 09:32

Ada Renée
Ada Elise
Ada Grace
Ada Emily
Ada Mae

Leahd89 · 09/11/2019 09:33

Rae as a nickname for Renée is cute

Proseccoinamug · 09/11/2019 09:35

Ada Rose. Rose is popular for a reason, it’s lovely. Ada is beautiful, ignore the rude poster above!

user1493494961 · 09/11/2019 10:58

I agree with pp, you need something like Ada Elizabeth. Rae is awful and Ada Rae seems to merge into one.

Jj2431 · 09/11/2019 11:50

Can't stand this current obsession with Rae..I mean come on, so chavtastic everyone is an ada rae or lola rae. Definitely Rose.

MikeUniformMike · 09/11/2019 12:39

Rose is ok but I don't like it as a middle name.
Ada is ugly and Rae is a surname.

bridgetreilly · 09/11/2019 12:41

Ada Caroline
Ada Clemency
Ada Juliet
Ada Louise
Ada Phoebe
Ada Francesca
Ada Emmeline
Ada Claire

Mumshappy · 09/11/2019 12:46

Ignore the rude comments OP. If it's not to your taste fine but theres no need to be insulting.

MrsFoxPlus4Again · 09/11/2019 12:50

Rose is definitely over used. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with Rae either. I’d probably choose Rae though and go agains the grain. Choose your favourite. My kids middle names are Mairead, Ottilie, & Genevieve ☺️

MissHenty · 09/11/2019 13:04

I love the name Ada Rose

Why are people so rude 🤣 got to laugh really it’s quite odd!

diddlediddle · 09/11/2019 17:22

Both Rose and Rae are booooring and terribly common.

Do you have any family names that have meaning? Otherwise plenty of nicer suggestions on here.

diddlediddle · 09/11/2019 17:26

Or choose another less common flower name?
Ada Iris
Ada Fleur
Ada Lily
Ada Tulip
Ada Blossom
Ada Violet

DramaAlpaca · 09/11/2019 17:29

Ada Rose is lovely, OP. If you like it, go for it.

Astronica · 09/11/2019 21:24

I much prefer Ada Rose from your options.

Ada Celeste
Ada Raine
Ada Sylvie
Ada Georgette
Ada Jane
