I am 36 weeks pregnant and we still dont have an official name picked out for our baby girl! I am just now realizing we need to get on the ball with picking one out because I dont want to end up in the hospital with no name really picked out! We both really like the name Roxie. I just cant for the life of me think of a middle name to go with it. My other picks are Ariana, Aria, or Teagan. But I cant think of middle names for those picks either! We know we want something really unique for the middle name of our baby. Suggestions, please?

Roxie is an awful name by itself. Roxana/Roxanne, on the other had, is quite pretty. I'd go with Roxie as a nick-name. That being said, some middle names for Roxanne and Roxana are Roxana Marie, Roxana Elizabeth, Roxana Giselle and Roxanne Victoria, Roxanne Patricia, Roxanne May.

Ariana, Aria and Teagan are tacky as well. As an opera singer, the only thing I think of when I see Aria a type of song -- not, in any way shape or form, a proper name.

I love Roxie actually. Roxie Victoria. Roxie Stella. Roxie Paige. Or mix it with the other name you like - Roxie Aria.

I love the name Roxie shortened and my friend just had a little girl she named Tristine her brother is Tristian and I think that Roxie Tristine sounds cute
or Roxie Alice (like alice in wonderland)

Roxie Monique Roxie Marie (not very unusual middle name but works ) Roxie Leanne Roxie Danielle Roxie Claire Roxie Anne Roxie Teagan

Ariana Nicole Ariana Joy Ariana Paige Ariana Raine

Dont worry about what the others say about the first name that you pick and like its your child...

I think Roxie is a super cute name, but I agree with [livejournal.com profile] moldycelery that something like Roxanne would be better...because Roxie sounds so nicknamey ;).

Anyway...I'll just throw some unusual/uncommon names in there:

Rosalie
Pippa
Angeline
Anjali
Briseis
Eira (Welsh for 'snow')
Anais
Selene
Cambria
Ione
Solenne
Lilia/Lilias
Noemie (No-ay-MEE)
Esme (Es-may)
Fleur
Lyra
Brynn/Quinn
Kaisa
Freya
Odette
Adeline
Anouk
Moira
Annika
Mirabelle
Phaedra (FAY-drah)
Anthea/Althea

I'm not really a fan of Aria or Arianna, but I think Teagan is kind of cute. It's kind of trendy too, though, which could be a disadvantage. It's super popular (http://www.babynamewizard.com/voyager#prefix=TEAGAN&ms=false&sw=f&exact=false) right now.

I agree with a previous poster that nicknames for names are tacky, so I'd suggst Roxanne with Roxie as a nickname.

Ariana is mispelled, and like this it means "of arian descent" in Italian.
Arianna is the proper spelling (or Ariadne if you want to stick to the original Greek version)

Aria means "air" in italian, primarily as in "the air you breath", then as a musical term. I'm neutral to the name, as I am to Teagan, although it's much on the trendy side.

My suggestions:
Roxanne Evangelina
Roxanne Alyssa
Roxanne Moira
Roxanne Miranda
Roxanne Taylor
Roxanne Carys
Roxanne Sophia
Roxanne Faye

I agree, Roxanne would definitely be a better choice than just Roxie. For combos, I think Roxanne Teagan sounds very nice.

Roxanne Theresa
Roxanne Claire
Roxanne Valeria
Roxanne Emilia

I've always loved the name Arianna, and I think it pairs nicely with simple middle names (like Rose). I'm not sure such a multi syllable name goes too well with unique middle names. I like Roxie, but mostly as a nickname-- I prefer Roxanna to Roxanne, though.

Surely Roxie is going to be short for Roxanne or Roxanna?
Roxie on it's own is very insubstantial.

Ophelia
Seraphina
Persephone
Lavinia
Aurora

Love Roxie & i love Aria, it's been on my list for years! :D

The whole claim to insubstantial names makes me angry. How often do we bash the mothers of "Jon"s for not naming them proper full names like Jonathan? Ugh. I dont really like roxanne or roxanna but Roxie is cute!

Roxie Elaine (I asked my boy and he came up with this too, and is now trying to convince me to use it & save elaine for this name, but if the one we have now is a girl we've already decided on Cora Elaine and i'm not budging, but i quite like this one too)
Roxie Elise

I feel like roxie needs a middle name that starts with a vowel to balance it out. Sorry i'm not more creative at the moment! I'd search A & E names if I were you

& also
Aria May ?

I don't think Roxie and Jon are in the same category. Jon is a nice stand alone name; Roxie is definitely a nickname, and very child-sounding. It could work on an adult, but I think Roxanne gives her more options. Jon doesn't need them.

That's only because we're used to it. It doesn't sound childish too everyone. Certainly not to me or several on these posts, or all the adults I know who's names are Roxie, so that's just an opinion, not a definite anything.

Jon (or John) is an actual name by itself. It's been used for centuries, where as Roxie has never been anything besides a nick-name. If one used it as a actual name it would be tacky as hell.

It is, because there are people with that names.

And no, it wouldn't.
that's an opinion, so you can feel that way, but you can't pass it off like that's the rule and a fact.

I actually prefer Roxie by itself to Roxanne. Roxanne just makes me think of that Police song. I think it would also work as a nickname for Rochelle, but if you want to name her Roxie, name her Roxie! It's kind of cutesy, but I don't think she'll sound too juvenile, especially since she'll probably be in a classroom full of Lilys and Kaylees. It's also much more original than Aria/Ariana/Teagan.

I think Roxie Teagan sounds cute.

Other ideas:
Roxie Ada(h)
Roxie Adelia
Roxie Aura
Roxie Ella
Roxie Jasmine
Roxie Jeanne
Roxie Layla
Roxie Leandra
Roxie Leanne
Roxie London
Roxie Medea
Roxie Mia
Roxie Shannon
Roxie Susannah
Roxie Talitha
Roxie Zola

I love the name Roxie, but I think it needs to be a nickname, as opposed to a full name. Roxie is great on a child, but I think it might be harder for an adult to pull it off. Some women could, but it's nice to give her options. Roxanne, nn Roxie, is great.

Roxanne Aria is beautiful.
