What good middle names go with Daphne? It's my favourite name (and thankfully, my partner loves it :P) and we're trying to make a list of middle names that could sound nice with it. I'd prefer somewhat feminine names...

Any ideas? :)

Well, as stated above, Daphne Rose was the first thing that popped into my head, and it's making me want to just list more one-syllable names--Daphne Lynn, Daphne Mae, Daphne Leigh....

But I think it really depends on your last name. Daphne One-Syllable would work with just about any surname, but your last name might sound really nice with other combinations.

If you don't mind alliteration, I like Daphne Delilah.

Daphne Caroline
Daphne Marilyn
Daphne Josephine

Ah, 2 syllables. So, I'd just try to stay away from 2-syllable middle names, but even then, I'd say there are exceptions. Daphne Ellen Barker popped into my head, for example.

Funny that this name was brought up, because I was thinking about posting it as well. My stepbrother's "girlfriend" just had a baby Thanksgiving day and named her Daphne Hope. I like it.

I was almost named Daphne Jane or Daphne Paige, and I like both of those. I'm also kind of liking the aliteration of Daphne Delilah or maybe Daphne Delia/Dahlia/Diane.

I think it is a lovely name!

So-PHIE?

French accent?

I voted Elise but I do prefer Elyse.

I prefer Esmé- ez-may - a million times over than Ismae.

SO-phie just never made sense to me at all. It sounds strange to me (too much like 'sofa' =P). Probably because I'm in Europe.
I like Ismae/Ismay better, because I used to know someone called Esmée and I didn't like her...so, bad connotations I guess.

Ahh, where are you in Europe? I'm in England, and i'm called SO-phie! I know what you mean about the Sofa thing.. infact my nickname is Sofaz/sofas...

I've only heard your pronunciation in French, I like it a little more, but i'm a little in love with everything French.

I'm in The Netherlands =)!
Yes, French is pretty awesome! But I like German even more ;). Hm...come to think of it, I believe they pronounce it SO-phie in Germany, too. I'm not sure about the rest of Europe, though. In Belgium they pronounce it So-PHIE, for sure, but that's not so strange considering a part of their country is French-speaking.

For some reason the first name that came to my head was Daphne Monique. I have no idea why!

Oh, I love the name Daphne! It's criminally underused, at least in the States. Daphne Jane is the first one that popped into my head. I think a one-syllable middle name would go well with Daphne.
