This strong name has remained a popular choice among parents in England and Wales for decades – it is a true classic among baby girl names.

Plus it is the only name that remained in the top 10 US girls’ names list from 1925 to 1972 – like I said, this name has real staying power! You can be sure it won’t go out of fashion.

As well as there being plenty of famous Elizabeths through history – both royal and celebrity – Elizabeth is also a name of several popular literary characters.

Tips for choosing a name

These ideas should give you a good starting point to create a shortlist of your favourite middle name options.

Try these tips for picking a baby name if you’re struggling to finalise your choice.

Look out for names everywhere

Whether you’re in a shop, reading a book or magazine, or watching TV, you can find inspiration for a baby name anywhere.

Pay attention to possible names, and have somewhere you can make a note of names that stand out to you – such as a Notes document on your phone.

This sort of open-mindedness can help you find a type of name you love – for example you hear the name Catherine and think you might like a name similar to that, then you can search for names along those lines.

Consider names with meaning

A middle name is often a tribute to a loved one. It can also be a chance to bring in something else of meaning to you, such as a place – maybe you have a fondness for visits to Paris – or a sentiment, such as Hope.

Remember that your baby’s name doesn’t have to have particular meaning, but it can be a useful place to find ideas.

Decide on your style

When discussing baby names it can really help to find trends and styles you both love.

This is where you can find common ground with individual names – as while you may not like one specific name you both may love one that is closely related or similar to it.
