Middle name help!

Sarafuss · January 2018

We are having a baby girl and we are considering using the name, Parker. I want a feminine and more classic middle name to go along with it. I don't really have any family names that I like. We already have a Paige Savannah and our angel was named Macy Annabelle. Any suggestions would be great!

Not a fan of Parker with Paige, I would prefer something more feminine but here are some feminine middles that go nicely.

Olivia
Victoria
Francesca
Miranda
Cecilia
Josephine
Elizabeth
Eliza

I feel like Paige is "unisex" but you only actually meet girls, and Parker is "unisex" but you actually meet a mix of boys and girls, so I don't think the go together well.

Parker Mary Jane
Parker Rosemary
Parker Felicity

I actually like the two P names together and I've never thought of the name Paige as unisex so that surprises me a bit. But in general, I don't really worry that much about how siblings names go together since they will grow up to be adults that won't be associated with their siblings all of the time. ETA: We also have two boys, Roman and Lucas. Not sure if that helps with the sibling issue or not lol.

With Roman and Lucas and Paige I would assume Parker was your third son and I really dislike Park-her on a girl. I feel like there are so many other non frilly names for a girl

Danica
Sloane
Arden
Harper
Blaire
Sage
Quinn
Reese
Meredith
Zoe
Avery
Taylor

@bbiutmcph I think that she would definitely have that problem since it is more of a boy's name. Which is the main reason we are just considering it at this point. I am hesitating on the boy name for a girl thing even though I like it. I really like Sloane but MH isn't 100% sold on it. I think that is a front runner though.

You could always go the route of feminine name male nn?

Alexia/Alexandria nn Alex
Josephine nn Joe or Joey
Francine or Francesca nn frank or Frankie
Michaela nn Mikey
Samantha nn Sam
Rebecca nn Beck
Danielle nn Dan or Dannie
Victoria nn Tory or Vic

I have a Savannah and Annabelle is one of my favorite names! Adding some of my list of possible names for #2 since ours styles seem similar

Parker Delilah
Parker Caroline
Parker Charlotte
Parker Genevieve
Parker Vivienne
Parker Amelia
Parker Eloise
Parker Madeleine
Parker Juliette

I will add that with sister Paige, I prefer Sloane as a fn. I also like Quinn, Avery, Brynn, Harper, Brooke and Blaire as non-frilly alternatives. I think most of those names would work with the mn ideas listed above.

It's funny - the first 'girly' name that came to mind as I read your post was Parker Paige. But I guess that's out!

Ann/Anne
May
Grace
Suzanne
Joelle

I also would assume that Parker was your third son. Sloane would be a nice option for your daughter. If you really like the name Parker, you could always put it in the middle name spot and use a feminine name for the first. Some other ideas for first names:

Candace
Caroline
Elisabeth
Emma
Harper
Joan
Jocelyn
Julianne
Kendall
Lainie
Lena
Mackenzie
Morgana
Olivia
Poppy
Raena
Skye
Sydney
Violet
Willa

I don't really like the name Parker for a girl but one of my friends son is named Parker so maybe I'm just used to it as a boys name but I really like the name Taylor with a sibling named Paige. And it's still unisex. If you do decide on Parker I think Anne would be a pretty middle name to go with it.

Not crazy about Parker for a girl, esp with sister Paige (which is clearly feminine). I think Sloane would work much better. Also consider:

Blair Elizabeth
Piper Victoria
Lane Philippa
Hope Bethany
Greer Helena
Quinn Mirabelle
Bree Allison
Gray Caroline
Faith Charlotte
