A little nod to your hubby and it's very feminine! That's probably too southern for a west coaster, but I love it. ;)</p> <p>ETA: I also like Loretta. I think it would be a super cute middle name!

I love dad's names as middles. But both are unisex/boy. (Which I love our top middle for a girl is Drew). </p> <p>What would you consider an "honor"? Same meaning, same sounds, same letters?<br /> Stuart means house guardian. Meredith means guardian. (Sadly not a lot of female names have that meaning).<br /> Talia for similar letters as Taylor?<br /> Mashing names/letters together: lysa, Layla, saylor. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/feminine-multi-syllable-middle-name#post-2308161 Thu, 01 Oct 2015 19:56:42 +0000 rattles 2308161@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lawbee11: I was about to suggest Lorelei without making the Taylor connection.

It was the married surname of a Marjorie, whose son inherited the throne and started the House of Stewart. Or Marjorie is a nickname for Margaret, which means Pearl.<br /> S... Marjorie?<br /> S... Margaret?<br /> S... Pearl?<br /> Clearly a stretch, but definitely related. I'll keep thinking. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/feminine-multi-syllable-middle-name#post-2308156 Thu, 01 Oct 2015 19:51:30 +0000 lawbee11 2308156@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@birdofafeather: Lorelai?
