Middle name for Goldie?

thepicklemonster

We are TG and I think we've reached agreement on Goldie for a girl.  (We also like Millie.)  What's a good middle name?  We have really no limitations/requirements.  Our last name is two syllables starting with a B, think "Boswick."  One option that I like is Goldie Isabelle.  Other ideas?

Hmm. Id definitely stick classic for the middle.  Nothing cutesy, or else she's a nursery rhyme.

Goldie Adeline 
Goldie Bernice 
Goldie Victoria 
Goldie Harriet 
Goldie Lenore
Goldie Renee
Goldie Olivia 
Goldie Catherine 

.......

Goldie Hawn. 

Sorry,  had too. 

That said, I think Goldie is very nicknamey and prefer Mille, though it's also pretty  nicknamey

I think Isabelle is a good idea.  Goldie sounds sort of childish to me, so it might be nice for her to have a more "grown up" sounding middle name for her to go by if she chooses.

I agree to stick to a rather traditional mm with Goldie. Personally I find it very nicknamey though. I would consider Marigold nn Goldie.

I agree with @bbiutmcph that Marigold would be a good name with a NN of Goldie. Otherwise I prefer Millie, although I think Millie is also a NN, for Mildred.

Goldie Brooke
Goldie Pearl
Goldie Faye
Goldie Camille
Goldie Diane

(Millie is a great choice if you decide to go with that)

Or Millicent

Or Amelia/Emilia 

Or Camille/Camilla

Or about 10 other names, though it does become more of a stretch. 

ButI do think a little Millicent would be bad ass adorable.

Just have to say that Goldie feels a bit like you let a 3-year-old name the baby, or you named the baby after a goldfish...I strongly prefer Millie.

Millie Rose
Millie Claire
Millie Pearl
Millie Mae
Millie Dawn
Millie Olivia
Millie Joanne
Millie Kate

Or if you like Isabelle, maybe put that as the fn and call her by nn Goldie: Isabelle Goldie, or Millie Gold?

Locks?

Irene. Also I love Goldie!

If you go with Goldie, how about Goldie Louise?
But I do think you (and eventually your child) will be asked about Goldie Hawn and/or if she was named after a goldfish frequently. That would get annoying over the years.

Can I ask why you like Goldie?

Goldie is a guilty pleasure name for me. I love it.

Suggestions:
Goldie June
Goldie Reese

Goldie is a guilty pleasure for me!!! I love it. It is very NNish. She would need a no frills MN incase she hates Goldie when she's older. I hate Merigold, TBH. Oddly, I also don't like Millie. 

Goldie Elizabeth - I love this combo! 
Goldie Maddison
Goldie Addison
Goldie Christine 
Goldie Michelle 
Goldie Charlotte - Second favorite combo!

The only thing about Goldie is it kind of falls under the 'Star, Princess, Queen, Saint, Blue' umbrella for me! I'm sorry. I'm being honest but it's still a guilty pleasure for me.

Thanks for all the responses.  I don't know what it is about Goldie that I like.  Maybe I'm already over it.  We get on a kick where I think I found "the one" and then I hate it the next day.  I am so crazy picky about girls names and DH is even worse.  I agree that it is nicknamey, but I think that aspect is ok.  I don't find it childish, though.  I know a few Goldies in real life and they are all older Jewish women.  Ugh, it doesn't feel right and neither does Millie.  The search continues.

Along the nick-namey lines, what about: Nella, Maggie, Molly, Bea, Josie, Pippa, Poppy, Liv, Tessa

Good luck! Luckily we had a son because my husband and I are so overly picky about girl names!! Heaven help us if we ever have to actually pick out a girl name.

I actually really like Goldie as a NN.  For some reason, Gwendolyn came to mind as a formal name.

@LoveLee85 luckily we think it's a boy haha

If neither feels right I'd keep looking. I will say that I've liked Marigold recently due to Downton Abbey.  Sounds like your style might be an old fashioned name with a unique NN opportunity. Suggesting: Sylvia, Idella, Cordelia, Henrietta, Magnolia, Beatrice, Gwendolyn, Estella, Rosalind, Roxanne, Mirabelle, Theodora, Miriam, Marceline, Wendy.
