anyone think of a nice short middle name to go with emily?

[bubblepop]

come on girls, lots of suggestions please!!

oh I agree family names are best and it can be a bit pointless othewise. my DD's middle name is a family name (well, it was my childhood dog's name ) and also chosen to reflect the fact we're Kiwis.

Has anybody said Emily Joy?

Oh, disagree completely about middle names being a waste. They are there for parental indulgence, surely?

I love Emily Joy.

ok Tinker, if you are giving a name that you just don't have the balls to give as a first name - e.g. Jezebel or whatever - then fair enough.

All these Jane/May/Kate-type middle names are hardly indulging yourself are they? It's like trying to indulge yourself by eating a ricecake instead of a nice fat slab of chocolate.

If DS3 had been a girl he would have been Emily Eliza (or Eliza Emily)

Agree with that CM. I have one of each - 1 got family and the 2nd got indulgence.

so what was the indulgence name Tinker?

I like Amily Grace

meant Emily, of course!

How about something really gross like Emily Blodwen or Emily Ermintrude - that way she will never go through that teenage thing of wanting to be called by her middle name, and she will be glad you called her Emily!

Jane? Jade?

Emily Ethel

Louisa

Rose
May

thought of

Emily Grace
Emily Rose
Emily Louise
Emily Claire
Emily Kate

Agree with pph - my dd has my middle name, which was my grandmother's name. I rather regret ds's middle name as it has no family connections. If naming him again would give him John as a middle name as it my great grandfather's name, grandfather's name and my uncle's name and he would have been a fourth generation John.

i love the name emily may

Emily Jade is nice

Has anyone said Faye?

Grace

jean

Ava
Nuala
Iona

My dd has two middle names, first name is isabelle, middle names are Emily May. Loads of people say it sounds sweet together and in fact may use May name again if I have another dd as a middle name. My Granny was Emily May.
