Baby Names

What GIRL middle name did you pick?

Looking for ideas...

I love Grace but it has become so popular as a middle name, similar to "marie" when I was born.

Re: What GIRL middle name did you pick?

  • Haven't had a girl yet, but would like to use Renee (mine and my mom's mn). Filler mns I love are Ruth, Jane, Faith, and Joy.
  • Loading the player...
  • We used Michelle as a MN. We also considered:
    Therese
    Margaret
    Jane
    Collette
  • If this LO is a girl her mn will be Jane after my mom 
    Me (31) & DH (32)

    DD Born 6/23/16
    Baby #2 Due 3/7/20
  • My dd is Trinity Mary Rose, 2 middle names. If this one is a girl her middle names will be Sandra Jade (still not decided on first name)
  • We used Elaine with Irene a close second


  • We used Elisabeth. We also considered noelle and Melanie.
  • Haven't gotten to a point where I actually need to pick a middle name yet, but names I like/have thought about include 

    Claire
    Dawn
    Maeve
    Hester (it's actually a family name for me!)

    But, I think it's easier to offer suggestions if the first name is given.
  • We used family's names:
    Marjorie (paternal great-grandma)
    Loretta (maternal great-grandma's mn)

  • DD's middle name is Rosemarie. Still deciding on a middle name for this one (not sure if it's a girl or boy) but considering Mae or Millicent. All 3 are family names.
  • Jane, because it's been the middle name used in our family since the 1830's.  Other family names I'd use include Grace, Ruth, Eva, Martha, Elaine, Ida, and Elizabeth.
  • Jean is our little girl's MN. It's a family name on both sides.

  • I've still got 10 weeks until my due date but we've narrowed our list down to two and the middle names are Magnolia (we just like it) and Lucinda (my mom's name).
  • Rose. It's a family name on DH side. And will make her initials HRH, like her royal highness ;)

  • Was going to be Lynn (family name) but switched to Rose bc of better flow and bc we wanted the initials to be the same as a family member who had passed. Her first name is pretty unique (not made up, but def not a top 500 name) so we kept her middle name a bit tame. If her name was more common I'd have done something a little more extravagant.

  • Alice. Also considered Elizabeth, Elise, Elaine, and Katherine.
  • We went with Alexandra. Also considered Maria and Victoria. All have meaning/family significance.

  • Kate. No family significance, we just liked the name and the way it flowed with Julia. We considered using my middle name Ann and also Claire, Autumn and Simone. I'm not really close to anyone in my family so all of these are just names that I like. 
  • We used Danielle (family name). Next DD's middle name will be Katherine (also family name).

  • We go wild with middle names, by which I mean we indulge my literary penchant and pick names from Shakespeare. So far we've used Ophelia and Emilia.

  • We are using Grace. It's my sisters name so it has an extra meaning for us. My friend just had a baby and her middle name is also Grace. 
  • Eileen. Family name. I love it :-)

  • My daughter's middle name is Michele, after my mother. My middle name is her mother's name (Irene) so we are continuing the pattern. 
  • LO's middle name will be Lauren; I also liked Megan.
  • We like to use family names for mn.  DD1 mn is Victoria after my mom.  DD2 mn is Violet after a dear friends mom who passed away just before baby was born.  
  • Like a few other PPs we use family names for MN. If we have a girl, her MN will be Katherine.

  • Our DD's middle name is Vivian (her great-grandmother's name)

    This one will end up having a family middle name (don't know the sex), or if it is a girl, there might be a chance that the middle name will be Olive (the only one we have listed that isn't a family middle name).....my husband loves that name

  • We used Adah, but the other name we loved was Vivian (my grandmother's name). It just didn't go well with my DD's first name.

  • We use family names. DD middle name is Leann. If the next is a girl her middle name will be Sue.

  • My DD's middle name is Penelope. Mostly because I loved the character in The Odyssey.  It was also partly insurance in the event the ginger genes made an appearance, we could call her Penny  :)

    2 years later it became a friggin Kardashian name. Ugh!  :s
  • We're having a girl in August and I've known since I was very young that if I ever had a girl, her middle name would be Louise. It's my grandmother's (who raised me) name and honestly, I just really like the name.
  • Elinor

    If we had another daughter the MN would probably be Victoria. I really love Bernadette though and think it goes with almost every FN option.

    My husband was completely against Frances 100%...but we compromised. I gave him the 1st name. He gave me Frances : )
