My oldest sons middle name Harrison. it's inspired after my dad, Harry. our 2nd sons middle name is just a name we liked. We are trying for baby #3 now, and If a girl we want her middle name to honor my mom, grandma, and possibly my husband's aunt. my mom is Elizabeth Ann, grandma is Nancy Kay, and his aunt is Sherri Lee. I was originally going to do kayann, but if I added my husband's middle name it would be kayleeann and that just looks awful and long. my grandma and husbands aunt both passed away, so we thought maybe some sort of word that would represent heaven or something or idk, something that represents how much they meant to us. They were both very important people in our lives (my grandma was like my best friend, and his aunt was basically his mom). my grandma liked lilacs and his aunt liked Lilly's. we thought Liliann but that kind of leaves my grandma out. I don't know much about his aunt. if we cant come up with anything using his aunts name, we also thought we could use his grandmas name, Catherine. she has also passed. Only thing I know about her is that she liked to plant flowers.
so, any ideas using Ann, Kay, and either Lee or Catherine? or some sort of word to represent the ones who have passed + Ann??

Honestly, I wouldn't try to smush 3 or more names together into one. It doesn't sound too appealing. I'd pick one, maybe two, people you want to honor. It sounds like you really want to use Ann for your mom, so I'd pick one of the people from his side to use. Or just do a double middle name.

Lillian. Lilly for his aunt, lil- for your grandma's love of lilacs, and an- for your mom. It doesn't have to be a literal combination of names.
Kaylee
Leanne
Leah
Cathleen (Catherine + Lee)

But I guess it depends on the first name for the flow of the whole name.

Since your grandma and his aunt both liked certain flowers, you could use Fleur. I don't think Fleurann looks or sounds good. You could go with two middle names, Fleur and Ann.

Ayana means beautiful flower. It's an African name. It means flower and it has Ann in it, too.

Nancy s originally a diminutive of the name Annis, with nn's of Ann, Annie, etc. so Lilianna would honor all three. However, it means "full of grace," so you could also name her Lilianna Grace.

Kayleeann isn't that bad for a middle name. Especially when it has a purpose. Please don't use names like heaven or naveah. Why not Kaylee-Ann? Can she have four names? Were doing four

yes, don't spell names backwards! Lee can quickly turn into a snake like sea monster!

Your mom's name is full of awesome names. A lot of the ones I can think of are forms of Elizabeth and Ann:

Elizabeth = Bell, Bella, Belle, Beth, Betsey, Betsie, Betsy, Ella, Elle, Libby, Lizbeth, Veta
Ann/Nancy = Annie, Hannah
Lee = Lily, Lilliana, Lillian
Sherri+Ann = Sharon/Sharona
Sherri+Lee= Sharlene, Shirley
Ann/Nancy+Lee = Annalee, Ainslee
Ann+Elizabeth = Annalisa, Annabel
Elizabeth +Ann = Bethany
Catherine+Lee = Caitlin
Catherine+Ann = Karen, Kerianne, Corrianne
Kay+Lee= Kaylee, Carla, Cayla
Nancy+Catherine+Lee = Natalie (gosh, that was a tricky build)
Flower names = Lilac, Poppy, Rosa/Rosalee,Violet

My favs:
Ella, Libby, Ainslee, Bethany, Natalie

Could you use Leanne as a middle name and use a first name with a K or -Kay sound?
