Middle names to go with Mirabelle

27 replies

fanjolina · 28/09/2008 12:24

This is DH's favourite girl's name at the moment, but we can't seem to find a middle name that goes well with it and our surname (except for Rose, but that seems to be a default name - and it reminds me of Rose West).

Surname is two syllables, so middle name would need to be one or two syllables to flow properly.

Suggestions?? Mirabelle......

Ok let me start!
May/Mae
Grace

Oh yes, I like Mae (and Maeve, but DH has vetoed that).

Can't use Grace as it's DD's middle name.

what about the more 'unpopular' middle names such as Louise, Jane, Anne, Claire, Sarah ?

tawdryowl · 28/09/2008 12:40

those are popular, just with a different generation

TheConfusedOne · 28/09/2008 12:43

Thats what I meant, meaning not very 'now'

grapefruitfairy · 28/09/2008 12:47

Mama

fanjolina · 28/09/2008 12:48

I like Sarah as I it was my grandmother's name. But I don't think Mirabelle Sarah flows particularly well??

Other family names don't go either
Frances
Christina
Johann
Wendy

Elisabeth
Francesca
Bernadette
Geraldine
Josephine

or use to mn...
Mirabelle Sarah Frances would work forinstance and I assume you mean Johanna? Johann being a boys name and all that....Mirabelle Johanna would actually work I think...

Actually Fairlady, it is Johann - not sure why they didn't stick an extra 'a' on the end of it. The family normally feminised the men's names they named the daughters after, like Williamina

I like most of the names you suggest, but they are a bit long for the middle name - we wanted something shorter and snappier (1-2 syllables). But your naming style is similar to mine, as 3 of the names were on my short list for first names.

Sleepycat, we could go without a middle name - hadn't thought of that! And thanks for saying it is a lovely name. I really like it. Other names we are considering are:
Eloise Faith
Serena Elise

Oh, decisions, decisions!

lol...oops...I just have never ever heard Johann used as a girls name....
Johann is the germany version of John, and Johanna is the feminine form...so, I suppose in english would be Joan ...can't remeber which english name is the female version of John...lol

postLady · 28/09/2008 14:50

Mirabelle Maisy?
