Now that you’ve settled on a baby girl name it’s time to find just the right middle name – one that’s perfectly suited and sounds like it was always meant to belong to your daughter.
Choosing a middle name is where you can have a bit of fun – maybe there’s a bit of a left-of-centre name you weren’t game to use as bub’s first name, but it just works as a middle name. Or you may want to honour someone special by passing on their name to your daughter. You may even love the middle name you choose so much, you decide to add it to the first name with a hyphen.
Let’s have some fun and choose a beautiful middle name for your little lady.
Ways to choose middle names for girls
We asked the half a million women on the Mum’s Grapevine Facebook page for their daughters’ middle moniker. These are some of the ways they decided on a particular name for their little girl:
- Family tradition
- Mum’s maiden name
- Honouring a friend or relative
- A name that’s on your baby name list that you love, but didn’t use as a first name
- Mum’s first name
- Dad’s first name (yep, there were quite a few)
- Mum’s middle name
- Grandmother’s name
- Godmother’s name
- Favourite place
We were inundated with more than one thousand adorable middle names for girls, and we’ve popped them into a handy list so you can narrow down your decision.
