Maggie...what would be a good middle name?

[TwilightSurfer]

I like the name Maggie but can't think of a perfect middle name. Steering clear of Rod Stewart's Maggie May, what would be a good middle name?

Grace
Joy
Anne
Jo
Hope
Louise
Rachel

None, it stands on it's own imo

hellooooooooooooooooooo!!!!
am not giong to take the huff that you didn't ask me (as the thread name expert!!) BUT need to know - what does surname start with and how many syllables are you looking for?!

Kit
Kate
Rose
Grace
Summer
Isabella
Cecelia
Alexandra
Charlotte

I actually think it would suit a longer name as a mn

do you have any family names you'd like to use?

Is Maggie going to be the "real name" or will it be just the calling name, i.e. Margaret or soemthing like that would be the "real" name.
If it's just Maggie, then I think a 3 syllables 2. name would work the best, like Maggie Isabell
Maggie Beatrice
Maggie Julienne
Maggie Alexa
Maggie Sophia
Maggie Eleanor
Maggie Jaqueline

although a longer 2 syllables name may also sound nice like
Maggie Christin
Maggie Celine

My mum is a Margaret, known as Maggie. She doesn't have a middle name at all.

I think most name lengths/syllabus could work though.

For example,

Margaret Jane
Margaret Louise
Marageret Elisabeth

Think it would need to be quite a traditional name though.

Yes, if just Maggie, probably better for a longer name.

Rose

Olivia
Celeste
Naomi
Natalia

Louise

Maggie Ellen
Maggie Elin

The no middle name idea is good for me (I don't have a middle name...well I didn't until I got married) but DH thinks it would be best.

DizzyNameWizard I was saving you for the final selection. This is just preliminary work.

I think, so far, I like:
Maggie Grace
Maggie Beatrice/Beatrix
Maggie Sophia
Maggie Eleanor (MIL's Name)
Maggie Jane

This gives me much more to work with than I had this morning. Now I can approach DH with the name.

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Why does everyone always suggest Rose for a middle name? It's nice and everything but if you go back through most of the threads in this section it crops up all the time. Probably because it's short.

Maggie Grace
Maggie Paige
Maggie Nicole
Maggie Hope
Maggie Skye
Maggie Thea
Maggie Niamh
Maggie Elizabeth
Maggie Eleanor
Maggie iMOGen

lol bran...
must admit,all my boys have mn's, but they are all family names...otherwise I don't think we would have bothered at all with middlenames

if you wanted more than one name you could choose
maggie maggie out out out

or the nice traditional "milk snatcher".

I think another 2 syllable name with the stress on the second syllable eg Elise, Louise, Justine

not those particular names but I think that stress pattern sounds nicest

ann

I agree with the two syllable second name, Maggie doodah if you see what I mean.
It might be an idea to have a second name that starts with a consonant, because it would make it easier to say.
Are there any nice family (first) names that you could use?
Does your DH have a middle name in mind?

Damn Maggie May would've been good.

okaaay

Margaret Emma
Margaret Sarah
Margaret Emily
Maggie Beatrice

Maggie Emmy
Maggie Milly
Maggie Bea

Depends on your surname. Anytime the forename and surname begin with a consonant you have to watch for middle names that start with vowels.

We're having this problem just now for a boy's name. If it's a boy it will be Struan, but our surname starts with K so we have to watch what we chose for middle name.

We liked James, but that is unfortunately the name of SIL's shithead abusive ex so it's out.

Maggie Milly is quite cute. Does anyone know what the Tosh is short for?

I can't believe nobody's said Maggie May!

I think it's cute on its own.

Gah, just read OP again. Blame the glass of wine while cooking dinner.
