Middle name help PLEASE!

mikenjess113 · May 2014

My husband and I finally decided on Sawryn (Sorren) as our baby girl's name, thanks to this Baby Name board! A middle name seems impossible since we have taken so long to come up with her first name. Open to any ideas, please!

Can you give us some guidelines? Family names to consider? Do you want something more traditional for a MN? Etc

Um, someone here suggested Sawryn to you?

I wouldn't pronounce that like Sorren, fyi.

I know you didn't ask for opinions on Sawryn, so I apologize for putting mine out there, but I really dislike it. It has so many bad qualities going against it. Last name trend, plus made up feel/sound, hard to pronounce and spell.... If you insist on this name, why not go with Sorren? Its still nms, but at least it takes away the last name/made up/hard to pronounce qualities.

I agree with PP. I'd pronounce "Sawryn" - saw+wren and I would think it was very odd. I think Soren is a great name, but I've definitely only heard it for boys.

If you stick with such a masculine name, a feminine mn is a good idea.

Soren Rose

Soren Josephine

Soren Marcella

Soren Annika

Soren Kirsten

(sorry, I just can't write Sawryn...)

Exactly what I was thinking

As in Kierkegaard? The pronunciation is closer to seh-RAHN. Never seen it anglicized in this manner.

The name you are asking about looks more like SAW-rin. Is this a name? I can't find info on definitive pronunciation of the first, and thus can't be of much help with middles.
