Hi, just looking to decide on a girls name!! Could you let me know which you prefer. Middle name is double name.

Cecelia Bridie-Jane
Cecelia Bridget-Jane
Cecelia Anne-Jane
Brie Monica-Jane
Bridie-Jane Monica
Bridie Monica-Jane

We would really like Cecelia or a variant of Bridget as first name and Jane somewhere in the full name if anybody has any ideas :)

Thanks for all your thoughts. We are hoping to stick with the spelling Cecelia because our passed family member was called Celia who we want to honour. With the hyphens we won't be using them daily in her name but on her birth cert if you don't use a hypen when giving a double middle name the second middle name tends to be lost in records (in our country anyway). This has happened to two people I know who gave their children two middle names.

I agree with Brie and cheese - my husband likes how it's one syllable. He also suggested Bee but I think a kid would be teased for that one even more!

Do they have to be hyphenated? All a bit of a mouthful, especially with a double surname but Cecelia Bridget-Jane is my favourite

Edited

I agree, it works the best.

But Cecelia doesn't truly honour Celia, and Cecilia has Celia in it.

I like Cecelia Anne-Jane best from your choices. Agree with pp that Bridget-Jane is possibly a bit too much like Bridget Jones (but not a major issue for middle names). I’m personally not so keen on Bridie or Brie as first names, but nice as middle names.
A few variants I prefer if you would like any ideas -

Anna Bridie Jane
Anna Monica Jane
Celia Monica Jane
Ann Cecelia Jane

Thank you so much, we just discussed Anna Bridie Jane and we both like it!

Anna Celia Jane or Celia-Jane if you must.

My DD has 2 middle names and no hyphen.
