Middle names?
Something keeps me from being 100% sure about the middle name we have picked out for Rachel. I am pretty sure we will go with it, but I keep wondering about other names.
I won't mention the name yet, but if you were using Rachel as a first name, what middle name do you think would go well?
Just to give you a sense of what I am looking for, I like traditional and biblical names that have a Spanish equivalent. I'm not too keen on trendy/modern names like Madison and Ava.
And please NO Rae! I can't tell you how many people have gotten pi$$y with me because I refuse to name my daughter Rachel Rae! TIA!
Re: Middle names?
Not sure about biblical names, but I really like Rachel Gabrielle.
?
After 2 rounds of IVF & 2 rounds of FET, we were blessed with identical twin girls!
Ew. Rachel Ray/Rae. Gross.
Sorry. I am searching for a name and I can't find one yet. I will keep looking.
That is very pretty!
I like that too! My favorite biblical girl name is Jael but that doesn't really go with Rachel.
Wow, really?
After 2 rounds of IVF & 2 rounds of FET, we were blessed with identical twin girls!
Yup! One of them is MIL's cousin and her name is Rae. I guess that's why she was so put off by my refusal.
Rae/Ray is not cool. I really like Kim's suggestion of Rachel Noelle.
hahaha I just asked DH what he would pick for a middle name for a girl named Rachel.
His answer
Ray!!!
hahaha silly DH!
I love Elizabeth but of course it's my middle name so
Anyway I think you need to know the last name before you can pick a middle. It has to flow. KWIM?
Is it sad that the only biblical name I can think of is Ruth?
I like Elizabeth, too! Of course it's Sarah's middle name...so I guess I'm partial to it...
It's also a biblical name!
How about Rachel Inez?
Inez or Ines means Holy
I'm partial to Inez b/c that's my g-ma's name
?
Rachel is a biblical name!
I guess I decided to ask about middle names because I heard the name Amelia in a movie the other day and never realized how pretty it is. It got me second-guessing. Also, my mom's nickname was Abby and I thought it would be neat for her to be named after her grandma, but I don't like how Rachel Abby sounds.Then there's my grandma's name, Teresa. She would be so honored! And DH's late grandma, Elaine.
But...Katherine is the front runner. I have always liked that name and always thought it would be my daughter's first name, but DH and I agreed on Rachel instead. Decisions, decisions! And only 3 weeks to go.
YES! Definitely agree- Gabrielle is a pretty name.
Gabrielle means God is my strength.
How about Rachel Therese...it still honors Teresa.
