I'd really welcome you lovely lots help in deciding between second middle names for our baby, due very soon. We are not finding out the sex but have a boys name picked out already.

We have REALLY struggled to pick a girls name we both like due to different tastes, so please no negative comments on the names we have picked so far.

We want two middle names as it's a family tradition. Sadly there are no other family names we like for the second spot. The first we have chosen is my paternal great grandmother's name. We both have Italian heritage but are very much English.

Surname is three syllables starting with H.

So, we have chosen the following name for our daughter (if we have one);

Elle Julietta ___ H**

Our shortlist for the second middle name is as follows;

Violet

Emmeline

Sunday

Olivia

What one would you all pick?

Thank you everyone (I'm genuinely losing the will to live going round and round in circles over a girls name choice so really welcome your thoughts).

Other second middle name suggestions of course welcome.

Juliette is lovely as a first name, have you considered this?

MrsDrDear · 23/04/2022 17:53

Nobody will be interested in the baby's middle names after the birth announcement so try not to overthink it.

Elle Julietta and then a three syllable surname is quite long, I'd go for a short second middle name rather than something else with three syllables.

Rose maybe?

Of your suggestions though, I like Violet best.

I really like Sunday. It's a brave choice but it's a second middle name so I think you can be brave

TabithaTittlemouse · 23/04/2022 18:54

What about Rosa?

out of your list I only like Violet and Emmeline.

I love the first two names.

congratulations on your pregnancy.

I would pick Violet. It flows really well and is a lovely, beautiful name. Emmeline to me is strange with Elle- too similar with the E and double consonants. Sunday seems a bit chavvy (sorry). Olivia too long (and very common).

Otherwise how about
Elle Julietta Maria/Marina H
Elle Julietta Vita H
Elle Julietta Ramona/Mona H
Elle Julietta Ilaria H
Elle Julietta Carmen H

Violet
sounds good with the other names (the rhythm works)

urbanbuddha · 23/04/2022 19:01

Jane
Hope
Skye
Joy
Rose.

Needs to be short not just because of the 4 syllable second name and the 3 syllable surname but also because of the time it'll take filling in the paper at the start of exams!

Imsittinginthekitchensink · 23/04/2022 19:04

Sunday is great. Emmeline is not. Violet is fine and Olivia is boring.

KylieCharlene · 23/04/2022 19:09

Sunday goes absolutely beautifully with Elle Julietta.

Mumofgirls2017 · 23/04/2022 21:45

Sunday!

Elspethelf · 24/04/2022 02:59

I like Sunday best of your options. I think Julietta with Violet is too much on the ‘et’ sound

Synchrony · 24/04/2022 08:27

Sunday!!! Cool!

wingsofabird · 24/04/2022 08:32

Violet

SunshiningBoo · 24/04/2022 08:34

Violet

user3199 · 24/04/2022 16:21

Violet doesn't work with Julietta for me - repetition of the 'et' sound.

I think Emmeline sounds the best with the other names.

But do really need a second middle name? It will never be used. Seems pointless to choose another name that you're not particularly bothered by, just chosen to bulk out the name?

beetree1 · 25/04/2022 11:46

Out of your choices I would go with Violet as to me it flows better but then you won't really say it altogether anyway. I also just really like Violet.

In fact I really love the whole name especially Julietta. Good luck in choosing!

crosbyrose · 25/04/2022 11:51

Sunday is one of my favourite names. I love it.
