Not planning on starting a family yet, I'm just playing around with names. I hope to have at least three children.
My first daughter’s middle name will be Annabel as this is my middle name and my mum’s middle name.
My current favourites are in bold:
Aurora Annabel
Autumn Annabel
Eliza Annabel
Elsa Annabel
Ebony Annabel
Emelia Annabel
Fern Annabel
Haley Annabel
Holly Annabel
India Annabel
Ivy Annabel
Jasmine Annabel
Kaitlin Annabel
Lydia Annabel
Lorelei Annabel
Skye Annabel
Skylar Annabel
Wren Annabel

What do you think? What other names do you think could go with Annabel?

My first son’s middle name will be Justin (hopefully) after his father.

Elliott Justin
Eric Justin
Indigo Justin
Isaac Justin
Ivo Justin
Max Justin
Miles Justin
Nile Justin
Oliver Justin
Rufus Justin
Seth Justin
Theo Justin

Also, what do you think of Justin as a middle name with first names that end in “n”? I think it is probably too repetitive but I’m not sure...
Damien Justin
Dylan Justin
Ethan Justin
Nathan Justin
Owen Justin
Ruben Justin

Or with first names that begin with “J”? Again, probably too repetitive..
Jesse Justin
Joshua Justin
Jacob Justin
Jericho Justin

As you can probably tell I am much more uncertain about boys names than I am girls.

I have loads of combinations for girls names that I totally love, but they don’t have Annabel as a middle name, but I guess they would be good for a second daughter


Amelia Ivy
Amelia Skye
Amelia Wren
Lily Aurora
Lily Amelia
Lily Eliza
India Hazel
India Jasmine
India Sophie
Jasmine Aurora
Jasmine Eliza
Jasmine India
Kaitlin Aurora
Kaitlin Eliza
Kaitlin Hazel
Kaitlin India
Eliza Fern
Eliza Lily
Eliza Willow
Eliza Wren
Lydia Fern
Lydia Hazel
Lydia Ivy
(the names Lily, Sophie, Hazel and Skye have meaning to me)

i love love love ivy. it's my favorite name. and annabel goes really well as a middle name...i hadn't thought about that before! sorry i can't give a more detailed opinion, but i really think annabel fits so well with all of them.

Jericho sucks, I like Seth Justin for the boy ones.

I LOVE the name Annabel, and weirdly, Aurora Annabel was the first thing that popped into my head. Very pretty. I've always loved the name Eliza Wren, too, how funny that we'd come up with the same combos like that. I guess we have similar taste in names...Ivy Annabel is really pretty, too, and I love Lily and Sophie. Lily Skye? Sophie Eliza? I like Amelia Skye and Amelia Wren, too.

I don't like the -en names with "Justin."

I lvoe love love Emelia Annabel and Elliot Justin. I think those would be adorable sibling names.

[quiet-recluse.livejournal.com]

I don't like Annabel, but seeing as you have a personal connection I think Kaitlin Annabel flows the best.

I like Elliott Justin best out of your Justin combos. The n names are a bit repetitive. Joshua Justin you could definitely get away with, they sound good together.

I like these girl's names:
Amelia Skye
India Jasmine
Kaitlin Hazel
Lydia Fern
Lydia Hazel

Some final notes: I like most of your names but Eliza immediately reminds me of Doolittle and Aurora is a porn name.

aurora as a porn name? my immediate thought is disney.. wow.. i'm so innocent haha..

sorry just had to say that...

[smasharash.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I wouldn't have thought of it as a porn name either.
Aurora... from sleeping beauty..?

I have bad name association with Justin's (3 of them in fact!), so I hate the name... it makes for an awkward middle name considering what % of boys names end in the -en sound? I think "Seth Justin" sounds the best out of your combo's tho.

We have very different tastes with girls names ;)!

I really like Haley Annabel and Ivy Annabel for girls; for boys, I like Joshua Justin and Jacob Justin - but, then, I'm really into alliterating first and middle names. I also ADORE Eliza Lily.

Also, how do you pronounce India? Like the country (IN-dee-uh) or as in-DEE-uh?

[smasharash.livejournal.com]

Yeah, like the country. My SO says it's "a bit hippy"!

[jessiac.livejournal.com]

I love the names Eliza, Lily, Ivy and Amelia. They're all lovely and classic names. I don't so much like Emelia - it seems to be pronounced the same way as Amelia, so I'd stick with the more traditional one. I'm not so fond of Skye, either. Lydia and Hazel are nice girls' names as well.

I also really like the names Jacob and Joshua...

[smasharash.livejournal.com]

I thought the same thing when it was first suggested to me... but the "Em" makes all of the difference - also means that Em can be used as a nn rather than Amy. Emelia is a very old name that isn't really in use these days but was about 100 years ago. And what with Amelia being so popular these days it's a nice alternative.

[anapology.livejournal.com]

I was so torn over the Amelia/Emilia debate. Amelia looks a lot prettier but i knew i'd probably call her Em as a nn sometimes.. & so it made more sense to go with the E spelling.. but it looks rather ugly to me. I went for Amelia..

I LOVE Annabel- but it's such a difficult middle name, i'd use it as a first!
