My husband and I are nearing the arrival of our 2nd child. We cannot agree on a first or middle name and would like one of her names (likely the middle) to be a combination of two or three of the following names:
T. or D'Ann (mommy's first and middle)
Cameron (daddy)
Linda or Gail (grandmother's first and middle)
Rose (mommy's great-grandmother)
Emma (daddy's great-aunt and civil rights activist)
TIA!

What can I do next?

My vote with using the names above is Cameron Rose. I agree with others that Emma Rose sounds good too but it is so popular these days.

I think Annacamemmalinda should do it!

Seriously, just choose O. that you like, maybe Anna (Ann/Emma), Carissa (Cameron/Rose-ish).

Don't make it all weird and combo'd out!

Congrats on your new daughter!

pick two and hyphenate! We don't use our middle names all that often, so it's a great opportunity to acknowledge special people.

Personally, I'm a fan of Emma Rose.

I think Emma Rose stands out but Emma is quite popular right now so if you are going for something sort of unique to her...you could try combining names...I was looking at your name and your husbands name and thinking maybe Macey mixes up the first names of the parents or Maddy? (sort of pulling letters form your first and middle and his first). You have lots of options there. Camille (Cameron, Gail, Linda and Emma).

I don't know if you wanted name combinations or to combine names to make new ones. :-) Just some quick thoughts.

You could do a spell change on daddys name to combine it with part of yours for a first name...then combine the Mommys great-grandmother name, and grandmother first name...for this:
Camerann Rosalinda .....

Is that what you meant by "combining"?

Good luck and CONGRATS!

I like Emma-Rose Tracye__________. then it is 3 of the names. Or have you and your husband sit down with all the names and go through how they would sound with your last name. Also which ones that you would like best, which ones would be ok for the child so they dont get picked on. ( i know its a cruel world in school). Good LUck

Gemma (Jem-A) Rosalinda
G from Gail, Emma from great aunt
and previous poster suggested Rosalinda and I think it works
Rose from great grandmother Linda from grandmother

or Glinda Roseann
(G from Gail combined with Linda, Rose from great grandmother, Ann from D'Ann)
or Tianna
(T from T., I from Linda, Ann from D'Ann and the last A from Emma)

I like the idea of combining Mommy and Daddy's names to make one name : Cayce (It can either be pronounced "Ka-see" or "Case", depending on how Mom's in pronounced...)
In combination, I like Cayce Rose.
Good luck!

I like Emma rose! Emerence or Emerson would be a cute combo, and you can call her Emma or Emmy. My friend named her son treyson (trayson) or Grayson/Greyson would incorporate Gail. Rosalinda, Cameron is cute for a girl (Cameron rose) or a boy. I like trace for a boy too! Dion for a boy, and maybe cayce (Casey) for either?

If you are wanting the middle to be a combination then I would go with emma-rose so you want a first name, hypenated second name then a last name? I would go with which ever rolls off your tongue faster, but it all depends on what the first name will be. What about Cameron for the first name the D'Ann Gail for the middle.

I like Emma D'Ann or Emma Gail
Cameron can be made Camille Gail
I'm trying to picture how it will sound when you yell at her! The only time we use middle names is when somebodys in trouble :)
