Daughter #2

mZoe

We're expecting our second daughter this January and have chosen to name her Molly, but are having trouble deciding a middle name. DH wants to go with Molly Francesca, but I don't think it flows. It should be said that we want a very Italian middle name for our girl. Any suggestions?

Well...frankly, nothing "really Italian" is going to flow any better/worse than Francesca with a name like Molly.

I actually really like Molly Francesca. Molly Valentina would be pretty, too.

Other suggestions:

Molly Giovanna

Molly Domenica

Molly Juliana

Molly Rosaria

Molly Donatella

Molly Sofia

Molly Arabella

How about.....

Molly Aldabella

Molly Allesandra

Molly Annata

Molly Caprice

Molly Felice

Molly Isabella

Molly Loretta

Molly Luciana

Molly Romana

Molly Rosetta

Molly Sienna

Molly Varanese

 

I like Molly Caprice and Molly Felice the best. I think they flow nicely.

Valentina is one of my absolute favorite names!

I love the name Francesca, so to me my love of the name overshadows any flow issues. I don't have any suggestions, so I cheated and went to Behind the Name.

I like Francesca!

My DH and I had similar requirements ? we had a long, Italian middle name to work with (Pasqualina), but really liked Molly as a fn/nn. We are naming our daughter Amalia nn Molly. I don't know whether that would be a good solution for you, but it satisfied our somewhat finicky family requirements.

I think Molly Francesca sounds beautiful. I really love both names.

I think Molly Francesca does flow well, but I also love pp's suggestion of Molly Valentina.

If the meaning of the name is important to you, then I wouldn't worry too much about the flow (after all, you don't introduce yourself and include your middle name as an adult).

That said ...

Molly Abriana

Chiara

Elena

Gianna?

Here are other ideas ...

Good luck!
