Need help with middle names - DH & I can't agree.

Ok - I wasn't going to tell ANYONE at all our names but I need help and seeing as none of my family or friends lurk around in here I figured it was pretty safe.

We haven't as yet and are not planning on telling any of our family & friends Bub's name until he/she arrives. DH and I are having trouble deciding on middle names. We don't know what we are having so we've picked a first name for a girl and a boy that we both like - well the girls name we love but DH is still not 100% on the boys name.

Would just really appreciate any suggestions for middle names. Not interested in 'Hollywood' style names (that's what I call bizarre names like what famous people are using). I do like 'worldly/foreign' names though as I love to travel. Oh and we will be having two middle names for both boy or girl. Our surname is pretty neutral there are not many names that would clash with it.

Girl: Sophie
Boy: Zach

Thanks!

I love Asha for a girl or Asher for a boy. Or Dahlia for a girl and Caden for a boy.

Sophie Jane
Sophie Marie
Sophie Cate
Sophie Leigh

How about SOPHIE CENDRINE :dance:

(Cendrine is my 2.5yr old daughter's 1st name, it's a very old French name ... i came across it 10yrs before she was born, a photographer introduced me to his wife named Cendrine whom at the time was a model well known in Melb & overseas)

CENDRINE means Cinders (as in from Cinderella) !!

My daughter has a very plain surname too :rolleyes:

Also her middle name is ARIANE (meaning Holy) ;)

Oh straight away I though Zach D'Arcy, nice and stong!

Not sure on the girls one, having problems there ourselves!

how about sophie mae!! thats my DD's name

Hi AJC sorry for another post but I just thought of another name for Zach: Zach Hudson

Thanks for the input everyone - keep them coming.

Sophie Jade
Sophie Jewel
Sophie Grace
Sophie Marie
Sophie Beth
Sophie Rose

Zach James
Zach William
Zach Wyatt
Zach Jett
Zach Oliver
Zach Michael

Good luck deciding!

Lovely names!
Sorry if I repeat something someone already has.....

Sophie Lee
Sophie Rose
Sophie Belle
Sophie Brooke

Zach Louis
Zach James
Zach Ryan
Zach Liam
Zach Blake

Have fun deciding! :)

Sophie is short enough and well-known enough that I think it sounds best with an uncommon name or a longer name- at least, something other than Jade, Grace, Marie, or Rose and all the other standard one-syllable middle names.

Sophie Charlotte
Sophie Clara or Sophie Clarissa
Sophie Eloise
Sophie Emilia
Sophie Francesca
Sophie Gabrielle
Sophie Isla
Sophie Jessamine
Sophie Juliana
Sophie Liliana
Sophie Lucille
Sophie Matilda
Sophie Olivia
Sophie Phaedra
Sophie Victoria
Sophie Violet

Zach would also go better with a longer middle name, if you're using it as a full name. If it's a nickname for Zachary or Zachariah, it might be better with a shorter one.

Zach Adrian
Zach Christopher
Zach Jacob
Zach Oliver
Zach Samuel
Zach William

Zachary Blake
Zachary Cade
Zachary Jake
Zachary John
Zachary Lewis/ Zachariah Lewis
Zachariah Levi

Are there any family names you would like to use? Or even variations of your names?

Wow thanks for the help everyone - Antonia that list is amazing, thanks!

sneaky - we did consider a few family names but I don't really like any of the names I would just be using them for the sake of it.

Think I might have to start a short list soon. Will keep you posted.

Hi AJC
What about using your middle name for a girl and DH middle name for a boy. my first daughter has myy middle name and if this one is a boy he will have DH middle name. What about a version of your maiden name......this is what one of my nephews have, my sisters maiden name and that is always nice too.
Goodluck choosing names is the hardest thing.:doh:
