And any combination of above for middle name?

What do you think?

I love Maeve

Amdone123 · 30/07/2023 12:24

I love Maeve, then Lucy.

Daffodilwoman · 30/07/2023 12:26

I like them all. I think Maeve will date as it’s on trend at the moment.
So I’d go with Alice.

All lovely names

Alice Rose 100%

Tadpolle · 30/07/2023 13:17

Any of the other 3, not Maeve.

It's having a specific moment of being popular rather than being a classic name with strong history and positive cultural connotations like the others.

I love all four names individually !

My favourite combo is Alice Rose, followed by Lucy Rose. I like Rose as a first name too but not sure the others work well with it in the middle - feel like it needs something longer, like Rose Elizabeth. I really like Maeve but it would be my last choice from your list because it’s suddenly really popular, whereas your other choices are more timeless IMO.

I really like Lucy Maeve. I think it flows best out of the options and looks nice written down too.

Alice Rose

KirstenBlest · 30/07/2023 16:52

Maeve - don't like it at all
Alice - like
Lucy - like
Rose - not keen, very boring as a middle name

Alice Lucy

PossiblyNotOne · 30/07/2023 17:02

Rose is incredibly dull and overused as a middle name.

RoseMartha · 30/07/2023 17:09

Lucy Rose

Maeve is an Irish name with with a very strong history behind it, you need to educate yourself on Queen Maeve

I know a Lucy Maeve, she's 11 now!
I love Lucy, Rose or Maeve as a first name... agree that Rose is overdone as a middle name. Personally I'm not fond of Alice as I think it sounds prim and a bit wet but I'm obviously in the minority!

Maeve Alice or Lucy Alice
