Any ideas for a middle name? Pretty please?

DD is due in 3 months and one of the favourite names so far is Abi (will be named Abigail but called Abi). We have no idea at all for a middle name though - our surname is Brown so pretty much anything will go with that but we need something as that surname is so common.

We are totally stuck - last pregnancy I spent hours with my head in the baby book. This time around it feels like one more thing to do lol.

Any help much appreciated

Abigail Hope

Slubberdegullion · 28/05/2008 16:39

weeeeeeeeeeeeell It might raise a laugh during the wedding vows.

No I was thinking more along the lines of

Abigail Cromer

or Abigail Heathrow Trust House Forte

that sort of thing

addictedtoharibo · 28/05/2008 16:39

Oooh thank you both skytvaddcit and dizzdixies - I like both rose and hope.

We both have very small families unfortunately and everyone seems to have very old fashioned names...

addictedtoharibo · 28/05/2008 16:41

would be great as you say at wedding or graduation. Abigail in bed because we are knackered and married brown. Catching on this I think.

Oh my cousin is Abigail Rose

JessJess3908 · 28/05/2008 16:42

I think you need a one or max two syllable soft sounding name.

Mae?
Rose?

dizzydixies · 28/05/2008 16:42

what about

Abigail Beatrice

beatrice has a lovely meaning - she who brings happiness

Slubberdegullion · 28/05/2008 16:43

so nowhere exciting or hilarious for place conceived then?

How about pets?

scorpio1 · 28/05/2008 16:44

i like Beatrix

addictedtoharibo · 28/05/2008 16:49

Pets involved in the process? No - as I said married and boring ;)

First pets for me were my goldfish Ben and Sam. Not sure she would appreciate that.

Saying that my first female pet was a cat called Sparky...

Abigail Sparky Brown?

Slubberdegullion · 28/05/2008 16:49

yes yes yes, all these nice and lovley names are all very suitable but I think that haribo might be slightly considering one along my lines, of a more unusual and 'breaking the ice at parties' bent.

I'm going to throw Luscious in for good measure.

Abi Luscious Brown.

Slubberdegullion · 28/05/2008 16:49

Sparky is better than Luscious.

addictedtoharibo · 28/05/2008 16:49

I am very much liking Rose and it seems a popular idea. WIll suggest that and Hope to DH later. Very much appreciated thank you!

sweetkitty · 28/05/2008 16:52

Others that would go well

Abigail Rose
Abigail Erin
Abigail Grace
Abigail Leigh

addictedtoharibo · 28/05/2008 16:53

I am sorry - perhaps we will pretend to all the sensible folk that she is abigail rose but really we will call her abigail sparky brown.

Feel a bit better?

OP posts:
