My husband and i are expecting our second daughter in November. We have picked out the name Isabella but can't seem to find a middle name to go with it. Our first daughter's name is Liliana Pearl. I'd really like a middle name that gives the name the same flow, if you know what i mean. Our last name starts with Sh and ends in -man and is three syllables long. Any suggestions are welcome because i am so lost and my husband will be fine with whatever it is as long as it's not Ann or Diane. (His grandmother's and mother's names)

Rose, maybe? Isabella Rose Sh-dun-man?

(I don't know what your last name is, but I put the syllable in there to help with the sound. XD)

Or Leigh? Isabella Leigh Sh-dun-man?

Haha, I don't think the initials are important! XD Because the name's so pretty!

Maybe Brynn? Isabella Brynn Shoe-ster-man?

I knew a girl named Bree Anya. I thought it was the prettiest name. :)

I love your names, and they go great together! Not sure what you mean by "the same flow" -- do you mean you want a one-syllable mn like your other daughter's?

Isabella Madeleine/Madeline
Isabella Abigail
Isabella Charlotte
Isabella Violet
Isabella Cecily
Isabella Caitlin
Isabella Josephine (the cute-nickname-er in my head is crying "Izzy Jo!")
Isabella Camille
Isabella Harriet
Isabella Juliet

1-Syllable:

Isabella Claire
Isabella Rose
Isabella Eve
Isabella June
Isabella Jane
Isabella Maeve
Isabella Kate

My fn is pretty long, and it never really bothered me. I'm a big fan of having shortened nicknames that would be appropriate on little kids and letting them grow into the fns if they want to. And if I were going to use Isabella, I would totally call her Izzy (I loooove Bella as a nn, too, but damn that Twilight for ruining it). Belle is nice also because I love Disney. =)

I wouldn't worry about it as long as you don't expect to have her going by her first + middle name all the time. =)

Isabella Joan
Isabella Jude
Isabella Quinn
Isabella Neve
Isabella Fleur
Isabella Joyce
Isabella Tess
Isabella Wynn
***
Isabella Sophie

Eve, Jane, May, and Claire all sound nice to me.

I don't think I pay as much attention to sibsets as many in this community, but I have to say, I think Liliana and Isabella sound great together. I was going to say their names flow well with your last name, too, until I realized I'd only filled in the blanks as "Shipperman" in my head.

Some of these are probably going to be repeats of above, because I am just going to list all the ones I like (and hey~ repeats are a good thing right?!)

I think Isabella sounds best with 2-syllable middles (usually French ones, for some reason):
Isabella Agnes[e] (an-YEZ not AG-nes... It was my grandmother's middle)
Isabella Aileen/Eileen
Isabella Celeste
Isabella Celine
Isabella Charisse
Isabella Christine
Isabella Demi
Isabella Jacqueline (jak-LEEN)
Isabella Jolie
Isabella Kathleen
Isabella Lenore
Isabella Lorraine
Isabella Matilde
Isabella Monique
Isabella Patrice
Isabella Simone
Isabella Therese (tur-REZ)

I left a few out for unfortunate initials, i.e. Isabella Brigette (IBS), Isabella Nicole (INS), and Isabella Renee (IRS).

Isabella Maria was my beloved top choice for a girl all last year :)
(before I had to discard Isabella, upon finding out my bf used to date one)

Marie.
Dinee (the last e should have an accent mark over it making it pronounced like Denae)

So you have:

I don't know, just thinking along a theme.

My step-daughter is Lilyahna, by the way. :D
