I’m worried baby is about to arrive and we haven’t made any progress on names. Would be interested in thoughts and combinations for middle names that might help! Our (my Grin) ideas, the combinations are are a bit random though:
Charlotte (Charlotte Elizabeth? Charlotte Imogen?)
Audrey Clothilde
Clementine Grace
Elodie Isabel
Marigold Audrey
Mirabel Grace
Millicent
Ida
Phoebe
Persephone

Congratulations! Out of your list I like Elodie and Audrey
How about Margot?

RoseMartha · 04/02/2022 07:00

Charlotte Grace or
Clementine Grace

AlwaysOutside · 04/02/2022 07:01

Elodie Isabel is lovely.

Marigold is awful

FindingMeno · 04/02/2022 07:02

I love Clementine Grace.

Iamanicepersonreally · 04/02/2022 07:03

Marigold, Persephone and Clementine aren't great to be honest. I do like the rest though

Nightwithhertrainofstars · 04/02/2022 07:44

I really like Marigold personally but I think it would be too much with a middle name like Audrey that's also has an old-fashioned feel to it.
Charlotte Elizabeth could have a bit too much of a royal vibe!

Hopitihop · 04/02/2022 07:47

Elodie Isabel

Ceramide · 04/02/2022 08:03

Audrey Clementine
Phoebe Mirabel
Elodie Charlotte

Synchrony · 04/02/2022 08:10

Mirabel!!! I love it but dh vetoed. I've never met anyone with this name!

GeneLovesJezebel · 04/02/2022 08:12

I like Charlotte, Mirabel and Elodie.
Do you have any family names that you want to use as middle names ?

timeisnotaline · 04/02/2022 09:00

Clothilde is the family name I’d like to use as a middle name if it works. Dh has vetoed it as a first name! I hadnt thought of mirabel as a middle name, might have to try some combinations out. Charlotte Elizabeth is too royal I think as a pp says although also family names. Charlotte Clothilde was too CC though. Agh i wish I could just pick 6 names!!

Clementine or Charlotte.

Dreamingof3 · 04/02/2022 12:18

Mirabel will probably be very popular now with all the Encanto love, if that bothers you

Clementine is one of my favourites

FolornLawn · 04/02/2022 12:22

Elizabeth Imogen

KirstenBlest · 04/02/2022 13:30

Charlotte (Charlotte Elizabeth? Charlotte Imogen?)
Audrey Clothilde
Clementine Grace
Elodie Isabel
Marigold Audrey
Mirabel Grace
Millicent
Ida
Phoebe
Persephone

JakeyRolling · 04/02/2022 13:33

I think the problem with Mirabel is that it's going to explode in popularity due to Encanto. Otherwise I'd choose that.

I love Ida if pronounced the German way (Ee-dah rather than Eye-dah).

However from your list I'd go Elodie Clothhilde (because you said that was a family name)

Kim82 · 04/02/2022 13:45

Charlotte is the only name I like from your list (I may be biased as I have one). I think Charlotte Grace flows really well. If it helps, mine is Charlotte Jessica.

Luredbyapomegranate · 04/02/2022 15:57

I’d settle on a short list of first names, middle names are so rarely used don’t tie yourself up in knots about them

Persephone is lovely
Millicent has got quirky charm
Phoebe is fine

Clementine, Elodie, Audrey and Ida are all OK but so of the moment they will date
Charlotte is great but so overused

Marigold. It’s a joke ‘they called her Marigold and hoped she would’ DON’T

I didn’t realise the encanto connection until Mirabel had climbed the list considerably, I think it is a problem. Elodie Clothilde is pretty but it so french as a combination , I think that might be bordering on pretentious (elodie is not a family name).

Clementine Grace is nice.

I absolutely love Elodie but not paired with Isabel, which I also quite like just not together.

I'm not the biggest fan of Audrey but Marigold Audrey is a great combination.

I also love Millicent, Ida, Persephone, Mirabel, Phoebe and Charlotte! How about Persephone Grace?

Gillyx · 05/02/2022 09:11

Charlotte Mirabel is pretty

Camilla would be nice, I find it slightly prettier than Millicent, something like Camilla Grace?

JugglingJanuary · 05/02/2022 09:23

I love Charlotte & mathilde & Elodie

Matilda Elodie is nice too. If Mathilde feels too French.

I like Charlotte Elizabeth but it is pretty 'royal'. Though I wouldn't mind that.

Charlotte Clothilde is nice, (I'm not sure what's wrong with CC though)

Millicent Clementine grace Isabel are all nice.

Just personal choice, but not:

Marigold Audrey
Mirabel
Ida
Phoebe
Persephone

TinyHitchhiker · 05/02/2022 09:27

Love Phoebe.

Phoebe Grace is adorable.

HelebethH · 05/02/2022 09:34

@timeisnotaline.
If you like Mirabel but not sure about it because of the encanto connection, have you considered Mirielle?
Charlotte and Elizabeth are both timeless classics and beautifull
