Middle Name Inspiration

[bluedot]

Looking for a girl middle name! We are set on the name Charlotte, which has sentimental meaning to us. No middle names are sounding just right.

Open to anything just about. The biggest restriction is no C or S names as our last name begins with S. We have no family names we would be willing to use either.

I'm not a huge fan of the usual middle names *Marie, Katherine, Grace etc*

So hit me with your best! TIA!

Are C names off limits even if they are hard Cs (and so would not sound alliterative with the first or last name)? Also, I am taking your "open to anything just about" pretty literally, but I promise there's normal stuff in there too...

bromios I guess hard C names could be an option, it would take some convincing on DH'S end though.

Why do you feel like you have to have a middle name? We personally have a hard enough time trying to find a first name for a girl. No way I would stress about a middle name. My step-mom was never given a middle name so when she got married, she made her maiden name her middle name and I always kind of liked that idea. Her maiden name was Clark though, so it made a nice middle name. My last name would be a ridiculous middle name. Just a thought.

cbrandt1 my son has a MN, so do my husband and I. Not having a MN is not really an option and would feel really odd for us personally. I understand your thought, I just think we need one.

You've gotten lots of great suggestions! I like a mn to have meaning, so if you have no family names, have you considered finding another name or pp's suggestion of a nature or other type name that is something special to you or would honor someone special? I am someone who picks someone I want to honor and finds a way to do it, and nobody else has to see the reference.

Typically I'm of the same mindset. However, since the first name holds a lot of meaning (we met while living in Charlotte, do not live there any longer) we decided the middle name would just be one that we liked.

[bluedot]

So far Elise is my favorite. Also like Evelyn, Kate, and Claire. Will be adding to my list for discussion!

[dreadpiratebuttercup]

Charlotte Alice is one of my favorite combos and very high on the list for a potential girl #3. (Yes, I'm already naming my third child when my second isn't even two months old.)

There may be repeats.

Charlotte Alexandra
Charlotte Anna
Charlotte Diana
Charlotte Eloise
Charlotte Eliza
Charlotte Eve
Charlotte Flora
Charlotte Genevieve
Charlotte Gwendolen
Charlotte Helena
Charlotte Isabelle
Charlotte Iris
Charlotte Ivy
Charlotte Julia
Charlotte Juliet
Charlotte Josephine
Charlotte Louisa

Charlotte Miriam
Charlotte Miren
Charlotte Miranda
Charlotte Matilda
Charlotte Noelle
Charlotte Natalia

[bluedot]

dreadpiratebuttercup actually Alice was the other name on our FN list! We decided to save it just in case we change our minds about having a 3rd!

If my last had been a girl one consideration was Charlotte Lucille or Charlotte Louisa

I love the suggestion of Charlotte Diana.

Charlotte Diana gives a blatant British Royal Family vibe to me; I wouldn't pair them together for that reason. (Princess Diana and Prince William's new daughter, Princess Charlotte).

I don't keep up with the royals, so I wasn't sure what her name was. I think it's beautiful regardless.

Same feeling with this pair. Also my mother's name, and want to avoid family members as MN.

Princess Diana is the late grandmother of Princess Charlotte, but yes, a very royal vibe.

No worries, no chance at that being our MN choice.

I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who gave suggestions on this thread. We have decided on Charlotte Elise for our daugther. Now just have to wait until July for her arrival!
