WOW how the tables can turn! Now, we have a girl's name but no boy's name. It works for me because I still think we're having another girl. However, we can't come to any agreement on a middle name. What's new? This also happened with Arabella. My mom is the one who finally suggested Nicole. Steve laughed last night and said that Nicole would work for this baby name too! Too bad. Half the fun is picking new names, not using old ones. So the search begins.
We can always go with one of your staple middle names:
Marie
Grace
Lynn
Michelle
Ann
Renee
Catherine
All are great names. They work because they sound great with most names. But I'm not quite convinced yet. I am considering a couple of these names, but most of them I know I would pass on.
Then I could go the trend route and pick a name that's short, sweet, and possibly unisex:
Brynn
Eve
Greer
Hope
Joy
Pearl
Wren
It's cool to pick a short, one-syllable name that can be matched with a longer, maybe even frillier name.
Or, I could go all out and pick a longer middle name:
Chantal
Felicity
Genevieve
Larissa
Rosalie
Serena
My instinct is telling me to go with something two syllables or less and in the style of Nicole, which is definitely a standard (or go-to) middle name. If you have any suggestions, feel free to leave me a note!

I am totally onboard with a 2 syllable nickname. I like long fun middle names too. We used short cool Cadie (short for Cadence) to balance out the older sounding Evelyn. I think pick a name that balances the whole name. Unique Arabella with common Nicole, so if you have a unique first name chosen again, use a common middle name.
