Help appreciated with middle name (she is coming on Thursday)

Lbear8 · September 2013

DH and I have a 5 year old named Lillian Grace and we call her Lilly.
Baby girl is going to be Alexandra and we are going to call her Lexi.

The three middle names we are debating are:
Rose
Belle
Hope

Our last name starts with an O and is 2 Syllables

I would love any opinions on the 3 middle names!!! With Lilly we didn't decide on the middle name until in the hospital and we were asking the nurses their opinions.

I think they all sound nice

I think I like Hope the best though, since your first one has Grace. I think they go well together.

I am partial to Alexandra Rose, it is my little sister's name. I also really like Hope. Alexandra Belle makes me think of Alexander Graham Bell...

Hope or Rose. Alexandra Belle kind of reminds me of Alexander Bell - who invented the first telephone.

I agree that Belle makes me think of the man who invented the telephone.

Hope is not my style.

I think Rose goes beautifully with Alexandra, and with sister Lillian Grace.

1. Hope (love Grace and Hope!) 2. Rose

Thanks everyone, I had the same thought about Belle, but the family members I've said it to all said they would have never thought of it! DH loves Belle because he wants to call her Lexi Belle. I appreciate the feedback.

Random thing I noticed, and you may not be bothered by it, but Alexandra Hope would make her initials AHO. I agree with PPs though, I like Rose and Hope better than Belle.

I love Hope as a MN. That gets my vote.

Scarlett&Gatsby · September 2013

I was going to vote Belle because I LOVE that name and think Lexi Belle is adorable, but when I say Alexandra Belle I hear "Alexander Graham Bell." Darn. So I guess I'll vote Hope. As an aside, my sister's name is Lexi (just Lexi) and I really like it. She's a fun, carefree, bubbly person and the name suits her perfectly. It's a really happy name.

You will be saying a lot of Lexi alone so maybe Lexi rose, it sounds cute

My daughter is Alexandra and I considered Rose but I didn't like the "ra" with rose...it sounds like Alexand ra-rose when said together. I would have said Hope but not too sure about initials. Maybe Bella instead of Belle to change it from the Graham Bell thought? then your husband could still call her Lexi-Belle

I like Hope the best, just on its own and with your other DD's MN.

But Lexi Belle is cute, too. I thought of the Alexander Graham Bell connection, but it's not a huge deal. Like a pp said, you could do Bella if that is the only reason you would pass on Belle.

Rose is pretty, but seems like more of a filler MN. The other options are better.
