What middle names go well with Nahlie? When you see the name, how would you say it? What do you think about it? What would your nickname for it be? 

Don't worry about hurting my feelings. lol Be honest with me.
But even if you hate it, please give me ideas for a middle name?

Nah-lee.
Nahlie Kristine.
Nahlie Julianne.
Nahlie Katherine.
Nahlie Margaret.

I think an older fashioned middle name will sound best. And I like Nahlie.

I don't like the name very much.
I would probably pronounce it NAH-lee
Nickname, maybe Nahl? Not sure.


For middle names for Nahlie:

Nahlie Rose
Nahlie Mae or May
Nahlie Clare
Nahlie Celia
Nahlie Theresa
Nahlie Peyton
Nahlie Kate
Nahlie Francesca

Just some ideas that I thought might flow.

I'm not a fan. It just looks made up to me, and the pronunciation I came up with ("nahhh-lee") is very anemic-sounding. I like to try out names in all different ways, like "have you met Nahlie, our new plumber?" "introducing the President of the United States, Nahlie Martinez", "inmate Nahlie was convicted of killing thirteen people", "this is your son's teacher, Nahlie Martinez". None of those sound very natural to me. It is also hard imagining to shouting "Nahlie" at the dramatic climax of a movie as she runs to escape a building that is about to explode. These things are important to me.

The internet suggests that I meant "NHL" (National Hockey League" or "no lie". I'd prefer Natalie, Nellie, or even Nallie.

How are you pronouncing it? If you aren't pronouncing it the way I am, it's hard to come up with middle names.

I'd pronounce it NAH-lee. I like Nala better. There are so many names out there with the -lee ending (Riley, Kylie, Caleigh, etc). But if you love it, who cares? I don't think I could get an obvious nickname out of it.

Possible middles:

Nahlie Elizabeth
Nahlie Suzanne
Nahlie Fay
Nahlie Claire

Naw.... like the name Nayla (from lion king?)

Hmm. I pronounce Nala like NAH-lah.

Gosht! Then she'd be Nahlie Gosht (http://www.cookitsimply.com/recipe-0010-01n0508.html)!

I kid. For a pregnancy dream name, it could be worse, I guess.



If you do use it, I'd recommend using a less whimsical middle name, so that when little Nahlie becomes adult Nahlie she isn't locked into the flight of fancy.



Nahlie Kathleen
Nahlie Olivia
Nahlie Florence
Nahlie Vivian

Does it rhyme with Molly? Is it Nailie? Nally?

I'd definitely go with a sturdier mn.

Who was saying Nahlie in your dream? Was it a mispronounciation of Natalie?

I wonder if you were repeating a nick.

In any case, it's no worse than Molly.

Repeating a nickname. Or a pet name.

Sorry it's a brain fart night. :)

Yes, I like it better than Nailey.

I would pronounce it Nahlee. It just made me think of Halle Berry and her daughter Nahla. I don't see names as automatically needing nicknames, and I think that calling her Nahlie would be good enough.

I don't actually like the name though. Because I thought of Nahla, it just sticks out to me as being an ethnicity that I am not. It's not my style.

Nahlie Rose
Nahlie Simone
Nahlie Patrice
Nahlie Catherine
Nahlie Pearl

I think it's OK. It rhymes with a name I made up for an online game. It's a combo of a nick name I like, and my middle name. The name is Nyuhlee. Lee is my middle name, Nyuh "Nye-uh", is the nick name I'm stuck on.

Middle name suggestions:
Nahlie Amira
Nahlie Amelia
Nahlie Anabelle
Nahlie Chantal
Nahlie Danielle
Nahlie Emerald
Nahlie Hannah
Nahlie Harper
Nahlie Irene
Nahlie Odessa
Nahlie Ramona
Nahlie Somerset

You're welcome, and Thank you! :) I think Nahlie is plenty cute to be used for a name, so if you keep liking it, I think you should definitely considering using it. :)

I think if it was spelled differently I would like it more.

Nahlie Rowan
Nahlie Elizabeth
Nahlie Rhianna

Nahlie looks way better as Nali, to me. I would say it as NAAAH-lee. I don't think it could have a nickname very easily as it is already short and sweet. Would be more likely for that kid to have an unrelated nickname.

I'm no good at picking out middle names lol

The only one I could think of is maybe Marie.

With my accent it sounds exactly the same as 'gnarly.'
Nahli looks nicer for some reason to me.
