Middle name help!

[LittleDog92]

Hello! My partner and I are going to be calling our baby Hebe if they are a girl. They will have a double-barrelled surname (three syllables- two syllables).

We are struggling to think of middle names. Given that Hebe is quite unusual, and our two surnames together will be quite long, we are stuck.

I slightly detest one syllable names like Rose, May and Rae as middle names (but am open to persuasion!). Names we have thought of are Madeleine, Clementine, Emmeline.

Any suggestions welcome (but no hate on the name Hebe, please)!

Hebe is nice
I know someone will suggest Jeebies

I think you should have a nice classic middle name like Victoria or Elizabeth

I'd second something like Elizabeth or Jane or Victoria or similar classic.

Hebe is quite out there and a simple middle name will give them options as an adult.

Hebe Madeleine Donaldson-Taylor (or whatever) works nicely. Are you looking for shorter middle names? Honestly I think 3 syllables works fine, though she may struggle with spaces on forms I suppose.

My first thought was Grace when I read Hebe and then double-barrelled surname but then I think this would fall into your dislike for one syllable names. I've added longer names below;

Hebe Meredith
Hebe Penelope
Hebe Hermione
Hebe Genevieve
Hebe Valentina
Hebe Arabella
Hebe Isabella
Hebe Elizabeth
Hebe Marcella

For what its worth, I knew a Hebe loosely and she was very cool so no hate for Hebe from me.

Love Hebe

I'll suggest

Hebe Alice
Hebe Emma
Hebe Sarah
Hebe Jasmine - might be too floral
Hebe Monica
Hebe Charlotte
Hebe Jessica
Hebe Natasha

I also love pp suggestion of Hebe Madeleine

Actually I'll suggest Hebe Beatrix too as I think it's beautiful and another quirky name but not as outthere as the wonderful Hebe

Hebe Colette
Hebe Alice
Hebe Zara
Hebe Eliza
Hebe Florence

Hebe Charlotte
Hebe Catherine
Hebe Caroline
Hebe Evangeline
Hebe Florence
Hebe Francesca
Hebe Isabella
Hebe Isidora
Hebe Isabeau
Hebe Josephine
Hebe Juliet
Hebe Rosanna
Hebe Rowenna
Hebe Rosalind
Hebe Susannah
Hebe Violet

Hebe Mabel

Cressida
Dolores
Angelica
Genevieve

But I do like your choices too, especially Madeleine.

I still think something short will work best - but agree Rose, Mae etc are very overused. How about?

Hebe Alice
Hebe Kate
Hebe Louise
Hebe Grace

Hebe Margot
Hebe Louise
Hebe Claire
Hebe Evangeline
Hebe Jean

Hebe Jean is lovely.

is the surname G...-B...

I know you said no to one syllable names but hebe faye sounds lovely to me.
Have to admit though, I've never come across anyone with this name so I'm pronouncing it in my head as he-be ie as spelt. Is that correct?

Hebe Hope sounds rather good. One syllable, just to annoy you. Hebe is a smashing name!
