Hi all,
Any suggestions of a middle name for Ada? (surname Chandler). I'm thinking something longer like Florence.
Ty!!

Nothing beginning with M or it makes Adam. People will say May but it sounds common.

Florence is tonally coherent with Ada but maybe sounds a bit try hard in being vintage IYKWIM.

Ada Josephine?

Ada is beautiful but quite retro/vintage so as much as I also like similar style Florence I'd probably also consider something more classic/timeless for the middle - like Sophie, Elizabeth, Isabel, Catherine, Emily etc

I’d go with your gut and go with Florence!

Ada Florence Chandler - simply beatiful!

Ada Florence works well.

I'd avoid a 2 syllable middle name, with 2 syllable first and last, it sounds a bit plodding.

Ava is so much nicer. Ada is awful but them I’m old enough to remember before it was fashionable. Ava Louise is nice. Florence is everywhere.

MrsBertBibby · 27/08/2021 08:11

Contrariwise! Ada is much much nicer than Ava to my (50+) ears.

Benjispruce5 · 27/08/2021 08:13

Is it? Each to their own. Makes me think of Les Dawson in that double act when they dressed as 2 old women.

Florence sounds nice.

I have a similar name in sound, length and look and my middle name is Caroline. I love it, I feel the long and solid middle name balances nicely the short and sweet first name without being too flowery.

Ada Florence is beautiful
