Middle name suggestions for Eve? The boyfriend and I love it but we've come to realize that it might not have much potential as a first name because we can't find anything to pair with it.

Edit: To get a sense of our style, some of our favorite girl's names are Isadora, Claire, Leah, Juliet, and Shiloh =)

It depends on the style of middle name you're going for...

For some reason, the first thing that popped up in my head was Eve Lorraine. I think any two-syllable name with the stress on the second syllable would sound good... I keep thinking Eve Michelle, but Michelle is a pretty out-dated name, unless you like it.

Eve Corinne
Eve Renee
Eve Lucille
Eve Denae/Denee
Eve Celeste
Eve Camille
Eve Kathleen

I agree that the middle name would have to be a two-syllable one with the emphasis you mentioned.

I like Eve Corinne and Eve Lucille, actually. Thanks!

Lorraine was the first name to come to my mind, too. Weird. I don't even really like that name...

To the OP: 2-syllable French girl's names tend to have this stress pattern, which might help if you try to do a search on one of the sites like babynames.com

I actually think Eve Isadora sounds really nice. Anything ending with that sound would work well.

[kilobites.livejournal.com]

Eve Isadora does sound nice! Thanks!

Try a three syllable middle name

Eve Cassandra
Eve Evangeline
Eve Christina

It just can't be two short names.

[kilobites.livejournal.com]

I like Eve Cassandra quite a bit, thanks =)

Eve Noelle was the first thing that popped into my head. but I also like Eve Lucille and Eve Renee!

[kilobites.livejournal.com]

Eve Noelle sounds pretty!

[snailrevolution.livejournal.com]

Seconding Eve Isadora!

Eve Ophelia
Eve Cecilia
Eve Alexandra

[kilobites.livejournal.com]

Funny you should mention that, as Cecelia is my middle name. Ophelia does sound pretty though.

I actually think a three syllable name sounds better than a two syllable one.

I really like Eve Juliet.

I also thought of:
Eve Abigail
Eve Cecilia
Eve Matilda
Eve Somerset

[kilobites.livejournal.com]

Funny you should mention that, as Cecelia is my middle name. I do like Eve Juliet I must say.

[kitchen-poet.livejournal.com]

I've always like Eve Aurelia! (Although a lot of people hate the vowel-vowel thing.) I also really like Eve Josephine.

Maybe:

Eve Sylvia
Eve Mathilde
Eve Naomi
Eve Cecelia/Cecily
Eve Sybil(le)
Eve Colette
Eve Eleanor(a)

Eve is one of my favorite names, but I agree it can be hard to pair. That's probably why I always end up using it as a middle name. :)

the first i thought of was: adeline (line pronounced like "line" at the end, not "leen").

[pythianlegume7.livejournal.com]

On my top 5 is Eve Caroline.

eve isabella

[classiestkid.livejournal.com]

Eve Noelle is really pretty

or I like Eve Elizabeth actually, even with the double E's

[qalanjo.livejournal.com]

Eve Isadora sounds so pretty.

[spicy-feather.livejournal.com]

Eve Louise

it has a nice flow, and feels kind of retro to me.

[turasmor.livejournal.com]

Eve Isobel
Eve Ophelia
Eve Juliet

(but if you love isadora, i think it goes beautifully too! I love the name Eve, it's classic, strong, but feminine)
