I like Leonie and Zelda. I like Zinnia, as in the plant, rather than Zennia.

Larissa is nice too but I suspect people would constantly hear Clarissa instead.

MissHavishamsMouldyOldCake · 08/02/2023 14:06

Don't like Cynthia or Clarabel.

StopFeckingFaffing · 08/02/2023 14:07

Cynthia Rose or Zelda Pearl get my vote from the options on offer

AdaColeman · 08/02/2023 14:17

Leonie is lovely, and is my favourite.
I like Clarissa much more than Larissa.

I like Zelda.

I'm not keen on Cynthia or Clarabel or Zennia, and Rose is hugely popular as a middle name so I wouldn't choose it.

hlc123 · 08/02/2023 14:29

Leonie is lovely, also quite like Cynthia.

FayCarew · 08/02/2023 14:32

No to Rose as a middle name.
Pearl - nice meaning but I don't like the sound
Jade - ok

Clarabel is awful
Not sure if Cynthia is awful, but Cindy is nice
Larissa - not sure. Clarissa seems more complete
Leonie - not sure
Zennia - Zinnia is better
Zelda - fab

I'd go for Zelda Jade

Rauha · 08/02/2023 14:32

Cynthia Rose

Theresahippopotamusonourroofeatingcake · 08/02/2023 14:33

Leonie Rose

antipodeancanary · 08/02/2023 14:35

Let's go Leonie Pearl

Odilon · 08/02/2023 14:43

I had a classmate called Leonie at primary school and I love the name - but nobody ever seems to agree on how to pronounce it. My friend got called both LEE-uh-nie and li-OH-nie and answered to both, to the extent that I’m now completely blanking on which one she actually preferred.

I know a Larissa too and always thought that was an unusual, stylish kind of name. Cynthia is nice but can people spell it these days? Not keen on the others. ‘Z’ names always sound a bit too ‘fantasy epic’ for my liking, sorry.

WinterCarlisle · 08/02/2023 14:43

Your user name is fab.

I can’t say any of your baby names without affecting an American Deep South accent. Are they for an actual baby or are you writing a book set in Louisiana in 1952?

Pearl - SUCH a lovely name as a first name
Cynthia - not a fan. Sounds uptight middle management
Clarabel - too fussy. Clara on it’s own is great
Larissa - it’s ok. Prefer Marissa
Not keen on Zennia / Zinnia or Jade
Rose as a first name is also great. I love Rosa too.

These are obviously just my opinions though and you’d prob not like my DC’s names! It’s all personal choice. Congratulations on your baby or novel 😁

Cynthia was a well know Madam back in the day

Twoinapod · 08/02/2023 15:30

Zelda is the best

BridieConvert · 08/02/2023 15:43

Larissa (or Clarissa) Jade for me ☺️

Elspethelf · 08/02/2023 16:19

I like Zelda Jade

2crossedout1 · 08/02/2023 16:20

Clarabel Rose is my favourite

timoteigirl · 08/02/2023 16:31

Larissa best, then Clarabel.

Choconut · 08/02/2023 16:34

I love Leonie - but not with Jade which is just awful. Leonie Rose is beautiful.

Mumofgirls2017 · 08/02/2023 17:27

Clarabel, Leonie, Zelda

Mortima · 08/02/2023 17:57

Either of the Z names would my preference from your list, but Pearl would be my least favourite middle name option.

MajorCarolDanvers · 08/02/2023 17:59

I like Rose

AnotherNameChangeYes · 08/02/2023 17:59

Leonie definitely. Rose is so so overdone as a middle name though.

ChildrenOfTheQuorn · 08/02/2023 18:12

I really like Zelda. And I'm on the train any- middle-name-but-Rose.

Iguanainanigloo · 08/02/2023 18:24

I like Leonie best, but would team it with one of the other middle names if possible.

Luredbyapomegranate · 08/02/2023 20:48

Zelda is rather fantastic in a roaring 20s sort of way, and Leonie is very nice. Clarabel is fussy but not terrible. The others are pretty terrible.

I’d go for Pear in the middle. Rose is done to death and Jade rather harsh.
