My husband and I are expecting (we don't know if we are having a boy or a girl) Anyway...one girl name we like is Hope, but we are having a hard time thinking of a middle name to go with it. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks!

I always thought about how it would sound when I was yelling at my kids and which names would fit.
I also thought about their high school graduations and how it would sound when their names were announced.
My daughter is Angel Heather.
So, you can always put a "typical" first name as a middle name too.
I'm sure you'll find the perfect name.

Rhiannon
Marie
Liliana
Ally
Full ;)~ just kidding
Hope Faith (I actually knew a Faith Hope)
Hope Angle or Angelic
Hope Alexandria
Hope Melonie
Hope Marianna
Hope Kiana (Kiana is a favorite name of mine... it means ancient)
Hope Cassandra
Hope Elaina
Hope Persaphanie
Hope Emily
hard to do when we don't know the last name :)
Another option is to make "Hope" her middle name and choose another name for her first name - she could still use "Hope" as the name she goes by. IMO "Hope" sounds nice with a 3-syllable first name, e.g. "Michaela Hope", "Katherine Hope", "Brianna Hope", "Alexis Hope", etc.
Since the first name is just one syllable, I like a longer name to go with it.

I prefer Hope as a middle name personally. When we were picking names for our girls, we chose first names that were formal and then could be shortened as nicknames. My name doesn't have a natural nickname and I wish it did. Their middle names have family significance and their first names are uniquely theirs. Find something that has some sort of meaning to you and go with that. The social security website has a great list of common names that you can avoid if you want to.

I like Hope Danielle or Hope Elizabeth. :) i agree that longer is better with a short name.
Hope Louise
Hope Francis
Hope Allison
Hope Michelle
Lillian Hope
faith hope
hope love
these 2 come from the bible faith,hope and love.
hope chyenne
angel hope
hope angelina (hope angel) but a longer version that sounds better than hope angel. that means she is a hopeful angel or an angel of hope.
your name is grace why not hope grace? or hope gracie?
don't go leslie cause leslie could go less so you would have hope less. you know how kids are with nicknames like that.
I had the name chance picked out for my miscarriage. wierd how he did become a chance that didn't happen. go with what sounds right to you. the names tend to match the personality.
Marie or renee
My friends daughters name is Hope Renee. :)

we can all give suggestions, but you should find a name that is meaningful to you. what is your middle name? are there any family members who you respect whose name you could use? if you want something religious, find a bible character who means something to you.
i'm sure whatever you name her (or him) will be perfect.
Look at your family names and see if anything catches your attention. My daughters are Margaret Marie (my two grandmothers' middle names) and Elizabeth Mary (after my husband's grandmothers). I think Hope is beautiful though. Now that my one daughter (Margaret) is older, she thinks it is neat that she was named after someone. Good luck.
I really like Hope Cameron. Also my friend just used the spelling Camryn for her baby's first name, which is different and kind of fun.
Hope Anne
Hope Mary
I liked the one post of Hope Grace
I just LOVE Hope Grace....I think that is just BEAUTIFUL!!! Congrats, and good luck....Let us know what you decide....
Hope Renee seems to be nice too...
What is your middle name? Maybe that will be good? Or your Mom, Grandma, hubby's Mom, Grandma...
All the best!
