Which middle names go with these first names? We haven’t decided on which one yet.
Some options we have in mind:
Anjali/Aditi
Celina
Serena
Riya
Lila
Mira
Nina

Any other suggestions? Want the middle name to be quite international. Thanks!

I love Serena, like Celina. Anoushka?

@partyatthepalace Not so keen on Anoushka as a middle name, like it as a first name but DH doesn’t like it.

I think they are all great!

For me Mira wins, Serena & Nina are fine, too.
How would you pronounce Lila or Riya?

Givemesomeideas · 24/05/2021 17:36

@yeOldeTrout Lila would be Lee-la and Riya would be Ree-ya

Serena is beautiful.

Givemesomeideas · 26/05/2021 02:19

@Ellmau Do you think it goes well with Anjali?

Yes, I think so!

If we'd had a girl I short listed Sangeetha and Priya (hubby wanted Pia actually but it wasn't happening Smile)

DennisTMenace · 26/05/2021 20:07

Anjali is a beautiful name. From your list I think they all go with both names, except Anjali Lila as it is two lee sounds together.

Givemesomeideas · 27/05/2021 16:03

@Laundrydragon Those are lovely names, I like Sangeetha spelt as Sangeeta, but I think your spelling is better for pronunciation.

@DennisTMenace Thank you! Agree, Lila doesn’t actually sound great when you said the whole name out loud!
