As if picking the first name isn’t tricky enough, sometimes finding middle names for girls can be downright difficult. Do you go for something common like Marie or Elizabeth, or do you dare to be different with Persephone or Theodosia? There are so many ways to go when it comes to girl middle names, but we’ve got the rundown that’ll hopefully make things easier.
Grace, Ann, and Rose are common middle names for girls right now, and we totally see why. They’re short, sweet, and to the point, which works well in the middle name slot. This is especially true if you’re pairing with a longer first name, as one-syllable girl names typically work best with them. If you want something slightly less common but just as short, we recommend Eve, Blaire, or Belle. For those who love the sound of popular girl names like Emma and Sophia but not how common they are, why not stick them in the middle name slot?
Unexpected middle names for girls like Zenobia have a special place in our hearts too. Something with a pop of personality like Blue or Love can make a baby name combo sing. Within this category, you’ll also find traditionally masculine names like James and Blake, two recent favorites among baby girl middle names in Hollywood. On the same note, you can use well-known character picks as middle names like Khaleesi or Xena if you think they’re too recognizable as a first name. The middle name slot is a great place to show your passions too, as seen in Lyric, a beloved pick among musical parents. Don’t be afraid to turn to places you love either, as many cities make wonderful baby girl middle names like London.
The middle name position is popular for family names as well. You can honor Auntie Eleanor with the name as-is or spice it up with a variant like Nora or Eleanora. Either way is lovely in our eyes. We’re also head over heels for the trend of using maiden names like Collins or Cross as a middle. It gives the combo an upscale vibe effortlessly. As long as it flows, we think any surname fits in with the best middle names for girls.
Longer middle names for girls are always in style too, with Catherine and Victoria usually the most common behind Elizabeth. We especially love Evangeline and Annabelle; two frilly finds that are far less popular. Some parents worry multi-syllable girl names are too long. This might be true sometimes, but as long as the first and last names aren’t too bulky, you’re fine. If you’re worried about flow, we suggest saying potential combos aloud multiple times. You might be surprised how lovely some are on the ear. Two-syllable girl names are usually a sweet spot, with Ruby and Eden standout choices.
Searching middle names for baby girls doesn’t have to be tricky! Have fun with it, and don’t be afraid to be brave. You might be surprised what middle names for girls wow you. What are some of your favorite girl middle names?
