Tips for picking a perfect middle name

When it comes to finding your perfect middle name the key thing to remember is take your time.

The ideal name may be obvious to you, or you may have very different views from your partner’s about what type of baby names you love.

You’ve got time to make the decision, even after the baby is born, so give it some thought and try these tips:

Look for sentimental words and names

There may be a special place or person whose name you can draw inspiration from. It doesn’t even have to be an exact copy of the name, but could be a nickname.

A good example of this is Prince Harry and Meghan Markle calling their baby girl Lilibet, which was the Queen’s nickname among her loved ones.

Don’t be too fussy over sound

You want a middle name that flows however your middle name doesn’t have to rhyme or sit perfectly next to the first name.

Say your top choices out loud, along with your surname, to see if you love the sound of the middle name. It may be that the sound grows on you.

Write it down

Write down your top choices and stick them somewhere you can see them every day. Also write the initials down so you can see if they spell out anything unfortunate you would want to avoid.

Try taking a week off from name chat to just consider your different name choices, as this time can help you to consider a compromise.
