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.

Immediate thought was fruit. Sorry

Opal Nicole

Opal Primrose

Opal Louisa

Opal Marie

Opal Amber

Opal Jasmine

Opal Beth

I love the name Opal. I don't think anyone their age will think of the sweets, and wouldn't be my first thought either. Sidney is not my favourite but goes fine if you love it, hardly anyone uses the middle name anyway. Alternatives to Sophia could be Seraphina, Selena, Serena, Sabrina or Sage if you wanted a shorter soft name.

Opal Verity
Opal Felicity
Opal Jessemy (very Open Sesame, but that’s quite jazzy as PP says)
Opal Antigone

Opal Astrid
Opal Evelyn
Opal Frances

Opal Elizabeth
Opal Alexis
Opal Adelaide
Opal Abigail

I like them individually but don’t think they go together really - also possibly something more classic in the middle would balance better

Opal is a lovely name but I'd be careful with some of the middle names suggested - Opal Marina sounds like a car from the early eighties.

Helena
Josephine
Jemima
Vivienne
Vanessa

Well I’m 40 and my first thought was the gem stone not opal fruits even though I knew them by that name when I was a kid!
I agree with pp nobody ever uses the full name so just pick a name you love. If you prefer a longer name how about
Opal Eugenie
Opal Vivienne
Opal Azalia
Opal Sophia
Opal Evangeline
Opal Juliet
Opal Delilah

Just going through a few middle names we’ve considered with a 2 syllable first name if our little one is a girl

I love Opal as well.

Opal Cassandra
Opal Ophelia
Opal marianna
Opal Theresa
Opal clementine
Opal Francesca
Opal Saskia
Opal vivianna

They haven't been called that for decades. The only people who will have that association are likely to be older than the typical demographic having babies now.

Opal
Athena
Alicia
Joanna

My preferred name too

hmmm Maybe

Opal Ivy
Opal Whitney
Opal Selah (say-la)
Opal Alexandra
Opal Juliet
Opal Thea
Opal Maisie

Opal Emma
Opal Soleil
Opal Dierdre
Opal Amalie
Opal Shay
Opal Nicolette

Serena is a beautiful name! Thank you! x

I really like Evangeline!
My daughter’s name and middle name rolls right off the tongue. I picked her name in an instant so this baby name chaos is new to me 😅 x

I really like Juliet and Wren!
Would Julietta work? (Is that a name?) X

My first thought was fruit

I think it’s beautiful.

i am at an age where I realise the opal fruits reference but it would definitely not put me off.

It’s very old classic. I would be inclined to go with something else similar, maybe Eloise or Marie.

i do also like Rae as OP have suggested.

The name Opal is not popular because it is associated with bad luck. So that, along with opal fruits, makes it a no. It's also a name firmly rooted in black culture - which of course is no issue at all but worth consideration

I’m not convinced you read my post correctly.
I didn’t ask for opinions on the name Opal.
I asked for suggestions for a middle name for the name Opal.
You have not offered me a middle name.
You have oddly said “no” to the name Opal.
The bad luck thing is a myth, the Romans actually thought it was extremely lucky and thought opals brought healing powers.
Opal Fruits was rebranded 27 years ago.
I will look into the black culture reference though thank you 😄 that’s interesting!
