Middle name for Hero

[BoldandBright]

Expecting a baby girl and we’ve decided on first name Hero. Our other children have unusual but not unheard of names with more traditional middle names but struggling to find a name that flows nicely with Hero. Our first mn pick was Emilia but gone off it a little now, any suggestions?
Our last name is rare but not ‘weird’ or able to be turned into a joke, and begins with an S.
thanks 😊

Hero is bad enough but Hero for a girl is rubbish.

Thanks for this unhelpful comment with a name I wasn’t asking anyones opinion on.

Hero isn't great. Does it go with your other kids names?

Yes. I don’t want to name our other children here just incase it makes us too identifiable, but my other daughter has a ‘word’ name (although has been used as a name for a very long time) and my son’s name is rarely heard but biblical.

Not a fan of hero for a girl either. Hera perhaps if you like that sound (though she wasn't the nicest of goddesses)

I'd go very simple for the middle name. Jane sprang to mind.

Hmm - Hero really doesn’t seem to flow well with my normal suggestions! The following sound ok - not great but ok…..

Hero Grace
Hero Elizabeth
Hero Eleanor
Hero Sarah

[jays]

Aneeda.

I really like Hera and it goes with eg Emilia. I know you don't want to jjear it but hero for a girl is a mistake

Hero is awful. Is it a name for a girl. Very strange indeed.

[TigerMog]

I think Hero is nice! You could stick with the Shakespearean theme - Hero Helena sounds nice

[DoesItMakeYouFeelBetter]

Choose something simple because chances are she will go by her middle name anyway…

[BoldandBright]

Those that don’t find Hero feminine would you use it on a boy? Just curious. Shakesperian Hero was female and with an ‘e’ looks more feminine to me than Hiro (Big Hero 6 character).

I'd concentrate on the first name first and then the middle name

The first name isn’t up for discussion really, we’ve chosen it. A traditional middle name is what we’re looking for, to match our other children’s middle names

LOVE the name Hero. There's a fabulous book character called Hero Jarvis, and I always thought I'd use this name if I had another girl. Hero Josephine, Hero Violet, Hero Georgina, Hero Anne...

Hero is a girl’s name, what are people on about?

Hero Julia
Hero Lucy
Hero Anna
Hero Catherine

There's not much that sounds right with Hero to be honest (because it's hideous especially for a girl) but I'd focus on giving her a nice middle name if you're that set on such an awful first name so she can go by her middle name as soon as she's old enough.

I like it.

Hero Vanessa
Hero Elise
Hero Anais
Hero Clarice

Surprised people are saying this is bad for a girl - this is the main context I've ever heard it used.

I'd much rather use it for a girl than a boy, comes across a bit big headed for a boy I'd say (since they actually get called heroes).

Before l read the full post, l thought it was a boy's name... and a pretentious one.

To answer OP, I personally wouldn't use Hero for a boy. Big headed sounding plus a big burden for a child to be named something so strong IMO. I like the less frilly names for girls, just think Hero is v odd for a girl and Hera is gorgeous.

I like the three syllables names after it that people have suggested as they seem to flow all … like hero Josephine above, or Alexandra, or Francesca.

I like it OP.
