Which middle name

22 replies

ilovemykids5 · 31/12/2019 17:09

Need to register baby next week.

Her first name is Aria
Her middle name was originally going to be Lily. But now I quite like the sound of
Aria winter lily.
Which sounds best? and if you choose winter lily would you hyphenate it or not? .
Thanks

Winter Lily sounds like a bloom you’d buy in a pot for Christmas.

HotSince82 · 31/12/2019 17:11

Aria Winter.

No Lily.

I quite like Aria Winter Lily. I wouldn't hyphenate.

Ollypollydolly · 31/12/2019 17:21

Just Lily

Mumma4262 · 31/12/2019 18:33

I prefer just Aria Winter. I think it flows better.

But if you do use both middle names, j wouldn’t hyphenate.

Congratulations!

I think either Aria Lily or Aria Winter. All 3 is too long in my option. Lovely name though

Krazynights34 · 31/12/2019 18:35

I’d go Aria Lily (Winter makes it a bit too Game of Thrones for my taste) because it has a pretty lyrical sound

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 31/12/2019 18:36

Aria Lily.

Mamabear88 · 31/12/2019 18:36

I think Aria Winter sounds better together than Aria Lily. Definitely not both though.

Spied · 31/12/2019 18:40

Aria Winter

Thefaceofboe · 31/12/2019 18:41

@Krazynights34 agreed, it reminded me of GOT too!

FluffyEggsontoast · 31/12/2019 18:45

Aria Winter

No hyphen anywhere! Can’t stand them- so unnecessary

FluffyEggsontoast · 31/12/2019 18:45

Ps. Gorgeous name choices

DramaAlpaca · 31/12/2019 18:46

Aria Lily.

FluffyEggsontoast · 31/12/2019 19:22

Sorry I’d like to add that I also like Aria Lily (no hyphen )

Engard · 31/12/2019 22:05

Aria Winter

Sleepnplay · 31/12/2019 22:33

I'd go Aria Lily.

Aria Winter makes me think of the actress Ariel Winter, not that that really matters!

Expressedways · 31/12/2019 22:44

Aria Winter Lily doesn’t work; it sounds like a naff floral arrangement.

Aria Lily is lovely. Aria Winter is very nice too although I did immediately think of the actress Ariel Winter but she’s not so famous that I wouldn’t use it, especially given that modern family is ending.

Whatever you decide, I wouldn’t hyphenate. The purpose of the hyphen is to make it clear that there are 2 first names so it makes no sense to stick one between 2 middle names if this is what you are suggesting.

Yodeldodle · 31/12/2019 23:36

Just use Aria Lily

Astronica · 01/01/2020 01:46

I like both Aria Lily and Aria Winter. And I like both Lily and Winter just as names on their own. Aria Winter Lily is quite nice and I would certainly recommend going for it if you love it - it has such a distinctive and sweet feel. I think as separate names rather than as Winterlily is better - Aria Winter Lily.

My favourites of your options are either Aria Lily or Aria Winter Lily.

Aria Winter is VERY GoT!
