70+ Stunning and Unique Middle Names for Isabella You’ll Adore:
Tips When Selecting a Middle Name (or first name!):
Okay, first, let’s take a step back and go over a few tips you need to know when selecting a middle name that might make the process go a bit smoother for you.
Brain dump any names you have in mind
Take a pen and paper or open a fresh doc on your computer and brain dump any and every name that comes to mind. Don’t think too hard about if you like or don’t like the name, just write them all down. Take inspiration from this list!
Add Any Favorite Names from your notes app
Have a growing notes app in your phone with name ideas? Same here! Add any that you love to this list.
Think about any theme you might want
If you’re planning to have multiples this is something to consider now. Do you want a theme like flower or nature names, or want to stick with one letter.
If you are only having one or don’t want to have a theme with all of your children, do you want to have a theme with this name, like first and middle have the same letter or something boho, etc.?
Go Through List (without partner) and immediately eliminate any you don’t love
Do this by yourself so you’re not influenced by their opinion! Take a quick glance through and now give some thought to if you love or dislike any of the names. Be cutthroat! There are SO so so many names out there, the quicker you can eliminate any you’re not quite sure of, the better.
Say out loud with your selected first name and your last name and again eliminate any you don’t love
This is SO important, and probably a tip you’re well aware of, but say each name on this narrowed down list OUT LOUD. It helps so much with hearing the flow of the name and can help you identify any patterns you like (for example, you love 2 syllable middle names, etc.). Just trust me, you have to say the full name out loud!
Consider initials
Sometimes kids end up with unfortunate initials, and it might be worth taking into consideration. I mean, do you really want a kid running around with the initials A.S.S. or S.T.D.? Just give it a moment of thought 😂
Consider Nicknames
If you think you’ll call your baby by a nickname a lot of the time you should probably run through your list of names saying them out loud with the nickname as well.
Then go through list of narrowed down favorites with your partner
Once you’ve got your narrowed down lists of favorites, THEN take it to your partner, spouse, etc. Either hand them the list or read them out loud to them and see what you can further narrow down to.
don’t tell anyone
This might be a slightly controversial opinion, but I personally think it’s best to keep that name to yourself. Once you’ve got the name selected and BEFORE the baby is born, people feel free to share their opinions on it. Whether it’s that they know someone with that name they hate, they think the name sounds bad, or whatever it is, their opinion could potentially spoil how you and your partner feel about the name, which is what’s most important.
Once the baby is born, people are much more likely to keep those opinions to themselves, since it’s a done deal at that point!
