Baby name needed: Middle name for Lucinda

A reader named Andria would like a middle name for Lucinda. The baby’s last name will be a T-name similar to Kendall.

I tried to come up with suggestions that (like Lucinda) are old-fashioned and/or Latin-based. Also, because Lucinda and the surname share several consonants, I aimed for names that add some new sounds to the mix. Here’s the result:

Beatrix
Belle
Catharine
Cathleen
Claire
Corinne
Eleanor
Elodie
Flavia
Flora
Frances
Georgia
Grace
Hannah
Helen
Honor
Isabel
Isla
Jean
Judith
Julia
Junia
Marian
May
Miriam
Nicole
Pauline
Pearl
Phoebe
Rose
Ruth
Simone
Sophie
Susan
Vera
Viola

My preliminary list included a bunch of long names. I cut most of them…but the ones below I liked too much not to mention:

  • Cordelia
  • Elizabeth
  • Eugenia
  • Josephine
  • Priscilla
  • Sophronia
  • Valentina

Which of the above do you like best with Lucinda? What other names would you suggest?
