I like coraline and Hermione is lovely but too closely associated with HP now.

I think a longer 3-4 syllable name will work better...something...unexpected....or with a particularly nice meaning/association.

I'd try and mix two of the names you love if possible. I did for DD but didn't for DS and now wonder why I had a separate mn list for him instead of using 2 of our top 10.

Gorgeous combos FingersCrossed Smile
Mable (spelt like this) was my Nan's middle name and you've listed her first as a middle Grin

These are lovely pairings Sleeping I suppose I didn't want to use two from the list because none are grabbing me and I thought a spunky MN might sway me to one of them...but perhaps you're right....

Maribel,Bonnie and hebe are also lovely,not sure which 1st name they go best with though,I'm having real trouble pairing up names ATM.

I also adore the name Myrtle, but was told in no uncertain terms I couldn't lumber a child with it as a 1st name....perhaps okay as a MN though?

Hmm...I think I may have narrowed it down to 3 first name favourites!

Flora

Dulcie


Still not 100% on the MN's for them but pretty sure these are my final 3!!

I love all the names you've chosen, and those of your DCs. My DD has a friend called Dulcibella, who gets called Dulcie for short. It means sweet beautiful I think. How about that for a middle nname?

Mabel Dulcibella
Flora Dulcibella

UpTheFRIGGinDuff · 23/07/2013 19:44

That's beautiful,but somehow....feels too Italian for us...like Giacomo,which I love,but feel I couldn't use Sad

(Thankyou by the way Blush it's nice when you find others with the same name tastes!)
