How funny. My DD's name is Brooke and we had picked Leah, Amelia and Grace for our 2nd daughter but none of them went with the name we'd picked for her middle name.
My daughter is Emilia and not Amelia. She gets called Em. So no Millie (although I do like Millie) Lots of Amelia's get called Mia and even Amy, as well as Millie.
Thanks Girls!! Lime slice, no i'm not set on Grace on a middle name but just have no idea what would go with Leah or Lara? I do love Amelia, more Emilia now
What about Sophie? Do you think it goes with Brooke? Or is it too popular as well?
We picked Brooke because it was classic and not that popular but also not too modern so that is what we are looking for DD2! Leah is beautiful but am concerned it is too close to my DH's cousins daughter, Tileah, we dont live near or see eachother that often but my MIL talks to Tileahs Grandmother 24/7 so am worried about their response What do you think?
hmm....it is hard for me, cos I am not one of those people that thinks the first and second names need to 'go' with each other...I tend to find so many people pick first and second names based on how they sound said together in this sing-song voice lol The chances of the names being said together like that often at all are so slim (unless you are hypenating the first and second names)
So if they sound too sing-song together, I will usually not like them, whereas that tends to be why people choose them iykwim...
Lots of us, including me at times, discount names because they are popular, but theres a reason why they're so popular - they're often really lovely names
Plus I've been watching a lot of Fringe lately and the main characters name is Olivia and she's an asskicking crime fighting babe so that name is now cool to me. Liv for short
