Looking for middle names!

I am expecting multiples soon who are all girls and I need some help, I have chosen some names but others I can't think of middle names for them:
Fran:
I really like this name as just Fran rather than Franchesca but the only name I can think of is Fran Evangeline.
Amelie:
This is probably one of my favourite names but I'm struggling because I did like Amelie Olivia but I prefer Olivia as a first name so I'm thinking either Amelie Margot or Amelie Odette but I don't really love either of those options.
Lara:
I'm not 100 percent on this for a first name but it is an option, I thought Lara Juliette but I'm not sure that it really flows???
Olivia:
I really like this as a first name as there are many nicknames, Liv, ViVi, Livvy ect but I think if we chose this it would be mainly Olivia and Vivi however I'm finding it hard to find a middle name for it as Olivia is a very common name and I want a middle name that is a bit more out there but nothing too crazy (you can probably see what type I prefer based of my other name options) I was thinking Olivia (ViVi) Noelle as my Dad's name is Noel but I don't really know.

Any other first-name options are welcome too!

I think I also like Aalia possibly???

Are you having quads.

NotFastButFurious · 04/09/2023 18:53

I think Fran needs to be Frances or Francesca, particularly if you’re picking Olivia because you like all the nickname potentials.
if it’s quads I’d go with Frances, Olivia, Laura and Amelie, or even Amy instead of Amelie…..
do they need middle names? I’m thinking that picking four in one go is hard work enough as it is!

Thanks for the suggestion of no middle names - hadn't thought about it but actually my mum doesn't have one!

not quads, we are having multiples but I don't want to say how many online for privacy reasons right now- we already have some names picked out that we are definitely going to use these are just some options for the others :)

Congratulations!
I think all the names on your list are lovely!

Fran Evangeline is a very pretty name.
I prefer Amelie Odette over Amelie Margot (but I like the name Margot in itself).

Perhaps Lara Noelle?

I have never heard the name Aalia, but it's very pretty.

Massive congratulations, what a lovely thing. Children rarely need or use their second name. Even if it is not completely in your taste do you want to make a nod to those that have gone before, or will be there to love them in the future. Worth a thought..xx
