Middle Name help!

bumpuser9353653

I said I would quietly think about middle names for a while, but I'm not very patient and I am having the hardest time thinking of ideas.

I am pretty sure we are going with Alexandra for DD2's first name. Lots of names sound nice with it, but our last name is short and hard, which makes things tricky. LN is Wa.rd

With Alexandra being 4 syllables, I'm thinking a 2-syllable name will probably have the best flow, but open to suggestions.

I like Grace and Jane, but I think they sound too harsh when you say all three names (FN+MN+LN) together, just doesn't roll off the tongue smoothly.

ideas??

I think using the one syllable mn kind of crashes with your last name. So in my head when I say "Alexandra Grace Ward" it kind of sounds like "Alexandra Graceward". However, I wouldn't let that stop me from using Grace or Jane if you really loved it.

Suggestions:

Alexandra Kaitlyn
Alexandra Jocelyn
Alexandra Jordan
Alexandra Alysa
Alexandra Gwenyth

Hmm, I see what you mean about Grace and Jane, though they are nice! Any family names/maiden names to use? 

Love Alexandra Renee! 

Alexandra Estelle

Alexandra Lucille

To be honest with you, I was Alexandra NMI until I got married and moved my maiden over and I loved it....but my maiden is 3 syllables so it was already a mouthful.

Grace was my grandmother's name, but other than that, no family names that I love. we're not big on naming after family anyway.

My MN is Nicole, which sounds nice with it, but I never loved my MN, so not sure if I want to use it.

I love Alexandra Grace!  Yummy name!  Grace isn't harsh at all, it's very elegant and feminine.
