How to Choose a Middle Name
Choosing a middle name for your child is a serious business. The only way to be confident that you picked the ideal one is to keep trying, so test out every name on the list and make a written record of your favorites.
Here’s our advice on what to consider before making your final decision:
- Consider how your first and last names sound when deciding on a middle name; you want one that flows easily without causing any odd gaps or combinations.
- Consider the length and number of syllables in the name you’re thinking about. Two-syllable names are flexible with regard to middle names; they look good with one, two, three, or more syllable names.
- Consider the first name’s last sound. Names that start with this sound might not sound the best. Consider names that begin with vowels for a softer tone.

Where to Find More Middle Name Inspiration
The sky is the limit when it comes to finding excellent baby name ideas. There’s no end to the places you may go for exciting new name ideas.
Here are just a few to get you started!
(1) Take advantage of popular culture names – celebrities, musicians, TV show characters, movies, novels – name your kid whatever you like! There’s no need to be apologetic about naming your child after a star.
(2) Check out what’s on the top 10 lists of baby names this year. If you want to get a sense of what’s hot in baby names right now, go over top baby name lists. You’ll know which ones you like (or should avoid – too popular!) Alternatively, look through past years’ or decade-end listings to find underappreciated gems.
(3) Some cultures believe words with repeating sounds bring good fortune, so why not look for alliterative initials and names. I like to call them ‘superhero’ names – where the first name and last name both start with the same letter.
(4) Your family tree – one of the most distinctive methods to choose a middle name for your daughter is to look at family names. Examine the maiden names of your female relatives; it’s a great way to remember your lineage.
What to Consider When Choosing a Middle Name for Charlotte
Choosing a middle name for your child can be overwhelming. You want to make sure it’s meaningful and fits with the first and last names of their parents.
Here are some things you should consider before choosing a middle name:
1) Does Charlotte’s full name flow well and sound beautiful?
2) Look at Charlotte’s initials. Does it form a word or common acronym? We recommend steering clear of initials that form words in general as they can be a sore point for teasing.
3) Do you like the meaning of all the names?
