Middle name for Opal?

[xRobin]

Hi all,

We’re choosing the name Opal for our little girl, we love the name.
However, cannot for the life of me find a middle name that I love. DP says all my suggestions are “nice” but I want one that I just know is right.
We’ve gone through all family members and can’t find a name there that we love.

Any suggestions please?
Surname is one syllable.

Do you want name to be shorter or longer? I would go with three syllable middle to make flow of name more smooth (3-2-1 rule of syllables).

My name and my best friend’s name is in that pot 😂 love Leonie! Thank you x

Opal Rae

Love the three syllables, thank you!
I thought the same, trying to make the name flow with such a short surname is so hard 😂 x

Cecily

(it will sound a bit like Open Sesame which is cool!)

I was going to include Stephanie on my list above but that sounds like Open Sesame too 😂

Are you really 100% set on this name?

Do you think your little girl will thank you for naming her Opal?

Sorry, not trying to be rude @xRobin it's just not a great name. No-one will think of the pretty gemstone, all they will think of is opal fruits. And... well, I just wouldn't call her this. Sorry. JMO.

Leonie
Joni
Annabelle
Elodie

Maude.

Opal is a beautiful name. I agree totally with the three syllable (or more) middle name if it’s a one syllable surname.

Imogen
Cecilia
Myriantha
Gabriella
Allysia

Sapphire?

Or a name that means something to you, like a loved relative or close friend?

Middle names rarely get used or heard, so all in all it doesn't really matter. I always think it's nice to honour a loved one with middle names, no matter if it flows nicely or what.

Thank you for your opinion.
We love the name ☺️ and everyone we’ve mentioned it to so far has said it’s a lovely name and goes really well with her sister’s name.
Only my Dad has made the “Opal Fruit” comment so far and he’s in his 60’s.
Luckily Starburst and Skittles didn’t make our list x

That’s what I believe with middle names too!
My daughter has my late Nanna’s middle name.
All other grandparents names won’t have my daughter thanking me for passing the name on 😂 x

Yes I agree with PP, first thing that came to mind was Opal Fruits 😬

Love Leonie and Joni! x

With our surname, it would sound like her middle name was “More” 🙁 x

We love the name, it’s a very nice name.
Plus, I don’t think the connection is negative one thankfully ☺️
I know a little girl called Aubrey who is nicknamed Strawberry Aubrey 😂 maybe they can start a fruity group x

Opal Leonie doesn't flow, Leonie is too vowelly.
-al Al-/El-/Ol-/L- don't flow
