Expecting baby need middle names please?

Question

hi, im expecting as baby early next year, we have chosen either Luke or Louis for a boy and Leah for a girl but are struggling for middle names that go with any of them, surname is Smith

Answer 1

Leah is a pretty name.  Have you thought of a longer name to go with Smith?  Have you thought of Louella, Leonor, Edwina or Ellenor?  Second names for these longer names could also include short names: Jane,Cate,Mary or Clare.  There is also nothing wrong with these as first names.
  Second names for Leah:
Arabella, Clementine, Clemency, Georgiana or Victoria.
There are so many.  Importantly, choose a name that will suit her as an adult and consider a name with a family conection.  Give her a name that won't hold her back by having to spell it to people always, or that won't keep her an eternal little girl, low down on the corporate ladder.

Answer 2

Louis (always pronounced Louee, in the royal fashion) It is a more up market and less common than Luke.  Second name..if your surname is Smith then a longer middle name would suit better I think.  How about Sebastian, Edmund, Alexander, Augustus or William.  It is nice to have a reason for choosing the second name.  Do you have an interesting family name that would go well?  It could be a surname even?  What about Sutherland or Hardwick?  Do you have a lovely male relative whom you would be proud for Louis to share a name?  What about a meaningful place name?  What is dear to you?  Make a list and choose your favourite two.  Maybe when Louis is born the obvious second name will leap out at you.  Good luck with baby Louis.
