hello everyone : )

we are expecting our first little one, due in 8 weeks, yay!  we don't know the gender.

so for a girl, we have

Alice

and for a boy

Edward

please suggest some middle names.  despite the old names, we are not very traditional.  my husbands first suggestion for a boy middle name was Mars, just to give you an idea of what I mean, lol.

ETA:  The last name is two syllables and starts with an  'S'


(and if you've read Twilight, these names were actually picked out before I read the book...lol, it's just a coincidence!)

ETA AGAIN:
  thanks for all of the lovely comments : )  my husband has decided he is not 100% on Edward (I am so going to work on that!) but he does love Edward Mars and he chose Alice Jack for Alice.  Lol.  I think it's kind of neat, having a boy name for a middle name, and it's after his grandfather.  I did say he could choose whatever he wants...hehe!)

Personally, I'd go with Mars.

But then, my boy's middle name is Fennec. : )

I like Mars...so cute and different. I love Alice..so elegant.

For Alice I like..also depends on the last name as well.

I like the idea of having a more "out-there" middle name to match with a more traditional first name! For some reason I just can't think of anything besides "Edward Drake"...

I found this site though, it's a LOT to go through but has TONS of 'different' names - some good, some bad.

I don't really have any names off the top of my head, but I'd like to point something out. Alice and a last name that starts with S is going to be a bit difficult to say. Alice Spencer for instance, becomes Alispencer.

Alice Fleuve (French for river)

Edward Mercury (space theme)

Hmm, not feeling very creative tonight.

but if edward feels like going by eddie, it'd almost be freddy mercury..which in my opinion is cool, but i'm weird.

All though I am not nearly as far along as you, I am having the same trouble with a middle name for our "girl name" Maggie!
My 16 month olds name is Aislinn (pronounced Ashling) Winter.
My mom said, "name her Maggie Summer! hahaha" I was not nearly as amused as she was. :oP

I am only about 6 weeks along (EDD Halloween), but have been struggling with Maggie since my first pregnancy, so I figure I better get a move on now that I am PG again, heh!

How about Alice Juliet?

And I do think Mars sounds great.

Since you like the boy name on a girl, I've always thought of Mars as a girl's name.. not that that signifies as it's a male deity.

Just wanted to say, although I don't super-love either name, we'll probably be using Alice and Edward at some point. Edward is my husband's middle name and we think we'll use it as a middle name for Jonah. I really didn't use to like it, but it's grown on me. My husband is a third and we don't want to continue that and we don't like his first name, Albert, so it's the logical choice.

Alice is one of his favorites, the other being Mary. I can't handle Mary as it has the same nn for my name and is a nn for my name, but we're trying to figure Alice in there somewhere.

Anywho, nice names.

male middle names
