We're thinking we like the name Reese for a girl, but I can't figure out a middle name! My middle name is Lyn so I kinda wanted to use that, but does that sound funny? Reese Lyn McMillon
The other middle name was Ann (my mom's mn). Reese Ann McMillon, but her initials would be RAM.
I need ideas!
Re: middle name for Reese
Unfortunately, I do think Reese Lyn McMillon sounds funny (although most people probably won't say her middle name that often). When DH and I talk about names, we always try to combine syllables so that if the first name is one syllable, the middle would be two and vice versa (EX: Audrey Jane, Luke Jeffrey). That might make the entire name flow better. Can you think of a name that incorporates Lyn? Reese Lynette?
Incorporating "Lyn":
Reese Lynette
Reese Lynda
Reese Kaitlyn
Reese Adelyn
Reese Lyndsay
Reese Madelyn
Reese Brooklyn
Reese Carolyn
... Reese Adelyn is my favorite of these. I wouldn't care about the RAM initials, it's not something "bad" like something inappropriate or a curse word.
The reason I mention the RAM thing is because DH is kinda weird about initials spelling things. He didn't like Emily Ann (which I loved) because it spelled EAM...which isn't even a word. He's a little picky. haha
But I like the idea of incorporating Lyn into the name. I always loved the name Madilyn...I just have a tough time getting DH to like anything. Thanks for the ideas, though.
I think a longer mn would sound best:
Reese Elisabeth
Reese Gabrielle
Reese Juliette
Reese Victoria
Reese Katherine
Reese Annabella
I wouldn't worry about the initial thing, especially since it doesn't spell anything embarassing or tease worthy. Tell your husband that most things that are monogrammed have the last name's initial in the middle, so it would be more like rMa.
My favorites are:
Reese Elizabeth/Elisabeth, Reese Olivia, Reese Madeline, Reese Adelyn, Reese Annika, Reese Hannah, and Reese Juliann.
These are cute middle names and the reason why it sounds good is because they have more than 1 syllable. You need at least 2-3 syllables for a middle name to sound nice with Reese. ?
Agreed. Reese Katherine sounds beautiful to me! And RKM looks good too!
I really like Lynn
