My husband and I are expecting our second daughter on October 21, and we are having a really hard time with the name. After months and months of discussions (or arguments…whatever), we agree on Grace for a first name. Our last name is one syllable and ends with “lyn”. Our other daughter’s name is Abigail Marie, and we call her Abby.<\/p>\n
Middle names we have rejected, even though we like them a lot:<\/p>\n
Evelyn (too rhymey with our last name)
Amelia (don’t like the initials)<\/p>\nSince Grace and our last name are pretty short, I think the middle name should be at least two syllables.<\/p>\n
What do you think? Any and all help appreciated!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
I love the rhythm of Grace Amelia with a one-syllable surname. If you love it except for the initials problem, you could use Emelia. Some more combinations with a similar four-syllable rhythm:<\/p>\n
Grace Cordelia
Grace Elizabeth
Grace Olivia
Grace Penelope
Grace Veronica
Grace Victoria<\/p>\nAnd here are a few 3-syllable options:<\/p>\n
Grace Mikayla
Grace Samantha
Grace Savannah
Grace Sophia<\/p>\nMore options, everyone!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
