We have a boys name picked(Zephyr) & we already have a son called Mason. There’s a few girls names I like but not sure which sounds better:

Arabella rose Chisholm
Arabella poppy Chisholm
Sapphire poppy Chisholm

I originally picked Arabella poppy but now I’m not sure if it sounds right, I would like a floral middle name as my name is Claudia rose & my sister is Erika daisy & I had picked poppy as a middle name as my partner likes the name & my gran used to call me poppet when I was younger.

Arabella Rose sounds best. Very classy. Poppy is very cutesy in comparison and less 'classy' - I like it, don't get me wrong, I just mean that I think this is why Arabella Poppy doesn't sound quite right, because the names have very different feels to them. It depends what is more important to you - the name flowing perfectly (Arabella Rose) or the name having special meaning to you (Arabella Poppy). I think its your decision as both names are nice. I don't like Emerald though.

Love Arabella by the way

Arabella Rose is lovely.

Think I’m going with Arabella Viola think it flows the best

Oh and I meant to say that I think Arabella is very pretty. Rose flows much better with it and is a lovely link with your name (although as I said before, I just adore the name Viola). Poppy is too cutesy/sounds to much like a nn for me compared to elegant Arabella. You could also use Briar (as in Briar Rose), May (a type of flower) or Iris as a middle name?

I don’t think Arabella Viola flows at all, sorry. It also makes me think of areola

I knew a Sapphire Smith once and it suited her.

Marguerite
Primrose
Vivienne

Love Zephyr and love Sapphire!

I find Arabella too frilly tbh.

I'd go Sapphire Rose or Sapphire Arabella?

Also love Saffron suggested^^.

What about Arabella Primrose?
Still has a link to your name, keeps the flow but is a different name.

DragonPoop · 18/02/2021 16:46

Sapphire is my favourite

CLx94 · 18/02/2021 17:09

That’s made me laugh lol I just hear aereola when I say Arabella Viola now I like Arabella primrose thought it would be to lengthy though does it sound okay? Also I don’t know if the ‘b’ in Arabella is to harsh with the ‘p’ in primrose if that makes sense?
