    Girls name - What do you think

    We have only just found out we are pregnant but if DF is running true to form lol we should end up with another girl. We both love Temperance for a first name but are having trouble with the middle name. Any suggestions??

    I think it's lovely, but i would probably go with a one syllable middle name....but that's just me.

    We watched the Simpson's episode last night where Marge writes a trashy romance novel and her heroine is called Temperance Barrow so that's all I could think of when I hear the name sorry!

    love love Temperance!!

    I agree a single syllable middle name sounds best, otherwise it gets a bit wordy and romance novelish. I like....

    oooooooh I think I like Temperance Maeve. If we have a girl her full name will be Temperance Maeve Bartley-Shaw. So a big mouthful anyway lol but don't stop sending ladies. Maybe something else will stick out at me

    Wow that's such a pretty name, I immediately picture a beautiful little girl with long flowing hair, it reminds me of springtime and all the things that come with it!

    I love Temperance, i had never heard of it before but it's beautiful. For some reason Joy sprung into my mind also but i just saw the post above and Raine it's also very pretty.

    Good luck
