Middle names for Erin

DH and I really love the name Erin if our new LO is a girl, but we're having trouble picking a middle name.  I like Erin Kate, but DH says he wants a longer middle name.  He like Colleen, but I'm not crazy about the way Erin Colleen sounds together. Any suggestions?

    I'd stay away from something overwhelmingly Irish, personally, as it can sound a bit precious (particularly if you have an Irish last name).

    I have a friend who is Erin Jacqueline and I think that's really pretty.

    Thanks!  I'll make those suggestions to my husband. 

    In terms of Irish names, we do have an Irish last name and DH and I are both very Irish with very Irish names.  Our son's name is Liam Patrick, so Erin with an Irish middle name would fit right in with the rest of the family.  :)

    I am Erin Veronica & LOVE my name.

    The only other one I have is Erin Christine/Christina.  I keep trying to pair it and come back to my own name...sorry!

    I think Erin Colleen sounds just fine...very Irish. 

    On a side note- my MN is Erin and my sister's name is Colleen. Smile

    Erin Colleen doesn't sound right to me because they both end with the "n" sound...so neither does Erin Catherine, imo.  I can't however, come up with many suggestions just this moment, sorry!

    I know I said that I don't like the double "n" sound, but I actually do really like this, even with the double "E"!

    I think this is why I wasn't crazy about Erin Colleen. I like the name Colleen, just not paired with Erin.

    I tried to go with the Irish thing, and I think that it's so nice that your children's names will have that in common. I love the name Erin, by the way.

    Erin Brianna

    Erin Bridget

    Erin Cara

    Erin Claire

    Erin Fiona

    Erin Kyla

    Erin Maeve

    We had Erin Olivia on our list. I love it.

    Try this link. If you scroll down, there are tons of options for 3 or more syllables that would sound great.

    My first name is Erin, and my parents were pretty boring with my MN...it's Ann.  I think a PP mentioned Erin Kathleen.  That might be a nice variation on Erin Kate.  I know an Erin Alicia and an Erin Christina, too.
