Final Decision - Girls Middle Name

40 replies

Looks like Rachel will def be the first name but we are struggling to make a decision on the middle. Sister to Louise Catherine. Which is your favorite?

  • Rachel Grace (part of clan motto)
  • Rachel Victoria (my mum's middle name)
  • Rachel Georgia (will be born in Georgia, USA)

Rachel Victoria is really nice.

I think I prefer Rachel Grace. I am a Rachel Elizabeth Grin

Congrats!

AHintOfStyle · 19/02/2020 23:21

I like both but Rachel Victoria is my preference

CatteStreet · 19/02/2020 23:22

Rachel Victoria.

CertieCumboyle · 19/02/2020 23:23

Victoria as middle name is lovely.

PennyGold · 19/02/2020 23:25

Rachel Grace! What a lovely name.

Whatsyourflava · 19/02/2020 23:29

Rachel Grace

Rachel Victoria is lovely.

Rachel Victoria
More of an uncommon middle name than Grace although Grace is lovely

Hannahfaith I quite liked Georgia as a middle for that reason but that seems the least favourite, haha

Rachel Victoria, sounds lovely and special honouring your Mum

I love Victoria .

I have the same middle name as my gran and I love the family connection I have with it .

Jossina · 20/02/2020 04:13

Victoria. Georgia is a nice name but not the greatest state to celebrate.

Astronica · 20/02/2020 04:27

Even though I really like all the names I like Rachel Victoria as a combination the best.

mathanxiety · 20/02/2020 04:31

Rachel Georgia doesn't really flow well.

Rachel Georgina sounds better imo.

Love Rachel Grace though.

@Jossina I wouldn't be celebrating the state of Georgia it's just a nod to the fact she was born here! My husband and I have had a fantastic experience here, bought our first house, had both our children - but we plan to move back to the UK in a few years. It's a very hospitable state and Atlanta itself is very progressive. Victoria can have similar negative connotations if you think about the poverty and oppression associated with Victorian times. I believe Georgia is a very popular name in the UK right now.

Georgia is a hell no

I would go for either one of the other two, depending on which flows best with the surname

@mnthrowaway202020 why?

Georgia just doesn’t flow as well with Rachel as the other two names (there’s nothing wrong with the name Georgia) Both Grace and Victoria sound lovely with Rachel so in comparison Georgia seems quite dull

Mamabear88 · 20/02/2020 13:04

Rachel Victoria

CaffiSaliMali · 20/02/2020 14:36

Rachel Grace is lovely, as is Rachel Victoria.

Nothing wrong with Rachel Georgia, it just doesn't flow as well when said out loud.

17caterpillars1mouse · 20/02/2020 14:53

Rachel Victoria is by far the nicest imo
