Middle name help!

[tickettoheaven.livejournal.com]

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?

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

Isabella Faye
Isabella Lane
Isabella Paige
Isabella Blair
Isabella Jewel (maybe you think this is too cutesy because your other daughter's middle name is Pearl, but I wanted to throw it in there anyway)
Isabella Joan
Isabella Jude
Isabella Quinn
Isabella Neve
Isabella Fleur
Isabella Joyce
Isabella Tess
Isabella Wynn
***
Isabella Sophie
Isabella Lucille
Isabella Renee
Isabella Elyse
Isabella Esme

Good luck!

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.

Isabella Peyton
Isabella Winter
Isabella Fern

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)

[tunknut.livejournal.com]

Isabella Paige and Isabella Maria are my favorites that have been mentioned so far.

Other suggestions:
Isabella April
Isabella Fay
Isabella Leonne
Isabella Lucia
Isabella Luna
Isabella Mercedes
Isabella Miriam
Isabella Patience
Isabella Posy
Isabella Victoria

Isabella Jane!

I also like Isabella June and Isabella Grey. :)

[tickettoheaven.livejournal.com]

My middle name is Lee..hehe

I like Rose though :) (And our last name sounds like Shoe-ster-man, just spelled differently) I don't know if i could get use to IRS as intials though..

[tickettoheaven.livejournal.com]

Thanks :)

I guess I meant one syllable middle names since our last name is so long. *shrugs* I do like some of the combos you suggested though..i guess i just need to sit down and say them out until one sticks! :D

[iwatchandrew.livejournal.com]

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

Maybe Brynn? Isabella Brynn Shoe-ster-man?

[tickettoheaven.livejournal.com]

Thanks :) We thought they went good together as a sibset since they're both really feminine names. (Well, anything was better than Kaylee or Madison like my husband first suggested lol)

I wish my last name was something as common as "Shipperman"..haha :D I like all the middle names you suggested and May is actually a family name on his side!

[tickettoheaven.livejournal.com]

I like a lot of your suggestions except Faye..lol I guess it reminds me too much of the storm now! haha

[azelmaroark.livejournal.com]

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. =)

[tickettoheaven.livejournal.com]

We would probably call her Bella as a nn :)

I love Disney too! :)

Isabella Jane

Ruby?

So you have:

Liliana Pearl
Isabella Ruby

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

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

[arbus.livejournal.com]

the first thing i thought of was rose. i think it sounds very nice with isabella, and quite nice with liliana pearl. :)

[neverstarsburn.livejournal.com]

I thought about it, since I like Isabella as a name, and Lilliana and Pearl:

Rosalind
Lucille
Madeline
Winter
Rosa
Eve
May
Emerson
Leigh

One more idea :

Isabella Jade

[shortbutfast.livejournal.com]

isabella katharina

[lustdumpster.livejournal.com]

[iwatchandrew.livejournal.com]

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