What about Marie? That's the first thing I thought of </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/middle-name-suggestions#post-1261139 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 09:42:49 +0000 jedeve 1261139@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ruth sounds great! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/middle-name-suggestions#post-1261097 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 09:34:37 +0000 Pirouette 1261097@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LovelyPlum: i like a lot of the one syllable names, but I think a 2 syllable name would work well too (like Nicole, Michelle, sara all would work). But I don't know saints names, sorry! Congrats on picking a girl name! And don't worry, we're a week and a half away and don't have a middle yet :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/middle-name-suggestions#post-1261074 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 09:30:05 +0000 LovelyPlum 1261074@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsKoala: thank you, friend! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/middle-name-suggestions#post-1261068 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 09:28:53 +0000 MrsKoala 1261068@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LovelyPlum: Ahh so it fits!! That's pretty cool. BTW, Love Imogen and Agnes.. really beautiful names! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/middle-name-suggestions#post-1261063 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 09:27:29 +0000 LovelyPlum 1261063@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsKoala: huh, that's interesting! Our last name is 2 syllables, but I definitely wasn't planning on that pattern. I just like for it to flow. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/middle-name-suggestions#post-1261036 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 09:21:41 +0000 MrsKoala 1261036@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LovelyPlum: I think it's because Imogen is a three syllable name so the flow sounds right when it's paired with one syllable. I think it was NameBerry where I saw that the ideal flow is any combination of 1-2-3 syllables. So 3 syllable first name+1 syllable middle + 2 syllable last name, etc. Generally, I do think it's true! (although we aren't following that model with our names). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/middle-name-suggestions#post-1261024 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 09:17:07 +0000 LovelyPlum 1261024@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Cole: me too, I think. One syllable names seem to go better, for whatever reason. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/middle-name-suggestions#post-1261018 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 09:16:01 +0000 LovelyPlum 1261018@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@locavore_mama: nope, it's very girly :) Pronounced "IM-a-gen"</p> <p><a href="http://nameberry.com/babyname/Imogen" rel="nofollow">http://nameberry.com/babyname/Imogen</a></p> <p>We're still TG, but we've been playing with girl's names first. Not really any family names to speak of. I've had Agnes in my head for a while for a whole host of names. I think it is a beautiful middle name!</p> <p>@debbiei8: Immy is what we would use, I think, but I don't know how we would spell it. </p> <p>Thanks for all the positive feedback :) I was really nervous about a) posting this, and b) even considering this name, for fear everyone would think it was too weird. But I'm getting a little excited to think we may have found a girl's name, even if the middle name is still up in the air!</p> <p>ETA: another one I thought of was Lucy, but I'm not sure if we want to hold that in reserve for another future LO's potential first name. But it would be pretty, too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/middle-name-suggestions#post-1260922 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 08:24:50 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1260922@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Agnes works really well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/middle-name-suggestions#post-1260907 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 08:18:00 +0000 regberadaisy 1260907@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LovelyPlum: how do you pronounce that?! Is it gender neutral? ;) </p> <p>Any family names?</p> <p>Agnes is M's middle name! After DH's maternal grandma. </p> <p>I love Maeve as well! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/middle-name-suggestions#post-1260905 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 08:17:52 +0000 twodoghouse 1260905@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Love the name Imogen! I like Ruth and Grace with it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/middle-name-suggestions#post-1260899 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 08:16:04 +0000 bookwormmama 1260899@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really like Grace and Clare (or Claire) the best I think! It's a pretty name, my mom's friend's daughter just named her daughter Imogen (she picked it because of the meaning and sound). I think they are calling her Immy (not sure of the spelling). I can't remember the middle name they chose though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/middle-name-suggestions#post-1260847 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 07:28:28 +0000 Cole 1260847@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like Imogen Maeve! As I played with options in my head I definitely preferred one syllable names. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/middle-name-suggestions#post-1260845 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 07:27:02 +0000 Running Elley 1260845@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LovelyPlum: I really like Ruth with it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/middle-name-suggestions#post-1260843 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 07:25:24 +0000 spaniellove 1260843@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like Agnes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/middle-name-suggestions#post-1260830 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 07:14:50 +0000 LovelyPlum 1260830@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thank you all for thr pretty choices! </p> <p>Laying in bed last night, I came up with 3 more:</p> <p>Imogen Margaret<br /> Imogen Agnes<br /> Imogen Ruth</p> <p>@Mrs. Champagne: @eabae: @NorCalWayfarer: thank you :)</p> <p>@marionberry: I love Catherine, but that might get confusing...there ate lots of them on both sides of my family. Same with Elizabeth.</p> <p>@grizz: I hadn't considered using Amelia as a middle name. That was our front runner first name for a long time. Might work as a middle!</p> <p>Rose, Clare, Margaret, and Maeve are my favorites, I think. So muxh to think about! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/middle-name-suggestions#post-1260683 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 00:32:02 +0000 fairy 1260683@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Imogen Claire<br /> Imogen Erin<br /> Imogen Alexis<br /> Imogen Kate<br /> Imogen Lucille<br /> Imogen Rhia<br /> Imogen Cassandra<br /> Imogen Christine<br /> Imogen Dahlia<br /> Imogen Lori<br /> Imogen Theresa<br /> Imogen Helena<br /> Imogen Aurelia<br /> Imogen Paige<br /> Imogen Rae<br /> Imogen Violet </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/middle-name-suggestions#post-1260650 Wed, 04 Dec 2013 23:34:13 +0000 NorCalWayfarer 1260650@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Love all your choices!</p> <p>These could work (&amp; I believe are saints): Ada, Alena, Celine, Clare, Kiara, Maura. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/middle-name-suggestions#post-1260639 Wed, 04 Dec 2013 23:18:31 +0000 marionberry 1260639@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Catherine? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/middle-name-suggestions#post-1260637 Wed, 04 Dec 2013 23:16:51 +0000 Bea 1260637@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do like Rose, too.

I'm also a big fan of names meaning something. My favorite boys' names are Matthew and Cyrus, and other top girl contenders are Amelia, Lucy, and Maeve. We really wanted a saint's name in there somewhere, but there is no saint Imogen. Part of its charm, though, is that it means "beloved child." I really like that.</p> <p>FWIW, it's Celtic in origin, and I've toyed with a Celtic middle name too. Just not sure. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/middle-name-suggestions#post-1260597 Wed, 04 Dec 2013 22:39:44 +0000 lawbee11 1260597@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like Rose! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/middle-name-suggestions#post-1260594 Wed, 04 Dec 2013 22:39:03 +0000 lovehoneybee 1260594@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Rose, Ava, Avery, Faith, Eloise, Sophia, Louise, Grace </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/middle-name-suggestions#post-1260589 Wed, 04 Dec 2013 22:36:31 +0000 LovelyPlum 1260589@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lawbee11: IM-eh-jen (pronunciation according to Nameberry, but that's also how I would pronounce it. Our last name is short, so I'm not worried about flow with last name, just first and middle.</p> <p>@rachiecakes: Claire is pretty! I hadn't thought of that.
