A reader named Andy writes:
My wife and I are looking at using “Reid” for a girl (we don’t know what we’re having but we have the boy named locked down). My middle name is Reid, which comes from my grandmother’s maiden name. We are struggling with a middle name to sandwich between Reid and our last name, Roney* (pronounced with a long O). We want it to identify that Reid is a girl’s name.
I think a clearly feminine middle is a great idea. Let’s see…how about:
| Abigail Alyssa Amanda Amelia Anastasia Angelina Bianca Calista Elizabeth Emilia Felicia Genevieve Isabella | Johanna Juliette Kathleen Louise Lydia Melinda Nicola Olivia Sophia Susan Susannah Sylvia Vanessa |
I avoided R-names for obvious reasons, but I’m now wondering: would a middle containing an R sound nice? I’m kind of on the fence about it, but who knows–maybe one the following could work:
| Audrianna Beatrice Catrina Gabriela | Katherine Patricia Sabrina Victoria |
Do you guys like any of the above with the first name Reid? What other middle names would you suggest to Andy?
*The actual surname is not Roney, but it’s similar.
