Middle Name - Smithfield,VA
Hi! I am trying to come up with a good middle name for a one-syllable first name (for a girl). It seems like whenever I add a middle name, it sounds backwards like the first name should be the middle and vice versa. Any suggestions?

My name is J. Bernadette and I've always liked the way it flows... ;) I also think Hannah is a pretty middle name, and Bridgett, Anna, Fiona, Margaret. It totally depends on the first name, in my opinion.

THe first name that popped into my head was Paige Karina, and the other poster said she named her daughter that. Great minds!!!
It's impossible to even hazard any guess without knowing the first name.

Well my name is P. Lane, I named my daughter Kamrin Elizabeth. The best advice I was given when picking out my daughter's name was yell it and if it sound's good when you yell it then that's the one. :)

two or three syllable names sound great with one syllable names.

What a lot of people I know do, is use a name that is a new twist on a maiden name, or a mix of a grandmother's name or father's name or whatever.

My daughter's name is a one syllable name followed by a 3 syllable name. It's Paige Karina. The middle name was a variation on my name (K.).
Good luck,
K.

Would you be willing to put the first name as the middle name and just call her by her middle name? My daughter is Amina Rose. We call her Amina (my husband's grandmother's name) but we could have called her Rose just as easily (my grandmother's name). One of my son's is George Asa. I like the 2 syllables after the one. What is the first name?
good luck and congratulations.
