Need a first name for middle name Janet!

[laney-chan916.livejournal.com]

I would love to adopt a little girl in the near future and I hope to use my mother's name Janet for a middle name. However, I am having trouble coming up with a first name that sounds good with it. My last name begins with an M and has 3 syllables.

I like names that are 100% feminine and not too common, but not crazy either. I dislike names that are spelled "kreatively" too. Huge pain in the butt to explain to people that your name is Maddysyn -whatever the last name is- w/ 2 D's and 2 Y's.

I love Audrey and Maya. (spelled Maia, which is the Greek variant) My sister's name is Sarah and I also have a cousin named Sarah, but it is a nice name. :)

Elizabeth Janet is almost like my mom's name. Wow! :P Hers is Janet Marie Elizabeth. Elizabeth is her confirmation name. I kinda like Eleanor because of the nickname Nora.

Grace? I think it would go really well with a longer, three syllable last name. And it sounds nice with Janet.

Otherwise maybe Rose, Catherine, Amy (the creative spellings of Amy are actually nice -- Amie and Aimee. You can be a bit different and still be sort of traditional), Sarah, Sophie...

Or if you find it hard to find something you like, could you shorten Janet to Jane, or go with Jeanette for a different emphasis?

I love Aimee. Unfortunately it is too close to my real name (Amanda) and I already have a cousin named Grace. I love Rose too, as a nickname for Rosalie. Catherine is pretty. :)

Amie is my favourite spelling. I have a friend called Amie. That's probably why!

[laney-chan916.livejournal.com]

I have a friend named Amy too. Seems like everyone has a friend with that name. lol! In 8th grade, there was a girl in my class who spelled it Ami. :)

[alyssa22.livejournal.com]

Hmmm. Not so keen on Ami!

[laney-chan916.livejournal.com]

Me neither.

If we had a second daughter her name would have been Jacqueline-Marie Janet LastName. My MIL is also Janet and I love the name Jacqueline.

[laney-chan916.livejournal.com]

I love Jacqueline too. :) I have an aunt with that name and a cousin. Both go by Jackie.

I'm a Jacqueline Marie and I always hated my name. I too, go by Jackie, and still hate it. Definitely to each his or her own. :)

Yep! :)

Nancy Janet
Marilyn Janet (not sure how this would work with your last name but I'm a fan of the double sound)
Carolyn Janet
Patricia Janet

[laney-chan916.livejournal.com]

Yeah, Marilyn does work with my last name (It starts with Mc) but I am not a fan of -lyn names. Probably because my middle name is Lynn and I don't want to name my kids after myself. I do like Mary or Mari as nicknames for it though. :)

Really, anything with one or three syllables will go well. Remember to not have adjoining names have the same number of syllables, as differing numbers make a more pleasing combination to the ear.

[laney-chan916.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I am pretty good at that. :)
