Middle names which go with Emily?

I'm 20 weeks with a little girl and we're pretty sure we're going to call her Emily Smile. However we're a bit stuck on a middle name. Neither of our Mums' names go with it and I don't think my other favourite names, Isabel or Annabel, do either. I'm not a big fan of May / Maye. Any ideas anyone? I like fairly traditional names.

Grace goes with Emily beautifully x

N12345625 · 05/04/2020 20:07

Grace
Rose
Jayne (my favourite)

AuntVictoria · 05/04/2020 20:07

You're right, Grace sounds lovely! I really like the name. I have a good friend called Grace though which is the only thing which puts me off (I really like her, just feels weird sort of naming the baby after a friend!)

I think loads go with Emily, it'll be more difficult norrowing it down! What's the first letter and how many syllables will her surname have?

SnowdropFox · 05/04/2020 20:09

Narrowing* silly me

AuntVictoria · 05/04/2020 20:09

Ooh Rose, hadn't thought of that one, thank you! I had considered Jane too, it's my mum's middle name as well so bonus points but I just wondered if it was a bit plain. It's definitely on the shortlist though!

I would avoid any names that end with the e soud for a middle name as this will soud too much.
As Emily has 3 syllables, what about a shorter, 1 syllable name?

So in 6 months time at the Christening,

Congratulations!

Avoid Rose, Grace or May. They are lost as middle names, though are lovely as first names. I’d probably avoid anything with one syllable actually- it becomes too bland.
Frances
Caroline
Justine
Sophie

TooGood2BeTrue · 05/04/2020 22:09

We have an Emily. Still love the name 9 years on. Her middle names are Hannah Elizabeth.

Darbs76 · 05/04/2020 22:46

I like Emily Elizabeth
