I Need a Middle Name!

I like unusual names or family names. For a girl, I've always been partial to Mae (though if you prefer a more traditional spelling, May works as well). My oldest son was named Julian because I wanted something a little different (but not so different he would be teased) and my youngest son's middle name is the same as his grandfather's middle name, Edward.

I work at a Head Start program and I just saw a cute name on an application - Neela.
How about Skye or Keely?
Arianna Mae Labore kind of flows nicely.

I agonized over my youngest child's middle name. I finally went with my grandma's maiden last name - St. Martin. My daughter has my grandma's first name, and my other son has my grandpa's name as his middle name, so I thought this would be a good way to incorporate them into the name of my last child as well. Asher St. Martin are his first and middle names.
So perhaps you could find a way to honor someone you love very much by using a name of theirs.

With a 4-syllable first name. I would try for a middle name with just one syllable, like Leigh. Or Ann. But it's entirely up to you. Maybe something with some meaning, like a grandmother's name or something. Have fun!

great boy name. Arianna Leigh!

I like Grace, as others have suggested.

I like Nicole! It fits best and doesn't sound hokey!!
Christa

All of those are nice names... middle names are great for using a namesake- a grandmother or special aunt perhaps? Just make sure it works well for when you are disciplining them, since we all tend to call them by both names at that time!

How about Lyn or Brooke?

How about Ava, Lilly, Mia, Leah (which you like), Lee, Ally, etc

Arianna Michelle Labore

I don't know why but that just shot into my head. :)

What about Arianna Marie?

What about Rose? Or what are some of your women family members names or middle names that have had an impact in your life?

My daughter is Aryahna Kay it is my mother's middle name as well as mine and I think it flows nicely! Arianna Kay Labore.

Arianna C. Labore. (put a bit of you in there) :)

I agree with the posts recommending a short middle name (if you need one), as first and last names are long. So Leigh would be my vote.

I've always liked using family names. My daughter (Rebecca) is named after her great-grandmother (my mom's mom), and her middle name (James) is my husband's name. My cousin used a grandmother's maiden name as their daughter's middle name (Avery Thorpe...). Good luck!

my niece's name is Arianna Marie.

How about: Arianna Cole Labore?

Cole is my son's middle name, my mom's middle name, and my great-grandmother's maiden name.

Congrats and good luck!

I like Leigh the best since it only has one syllable - middle name with one since first name has 3 and last has 2. Congratulations and best wishes for a healthy baby!

I say Arianna Nicole! Renee and Leigh are to oldskool for me.

I think Nicole is very nice with your last name & the first name you have chosen.

Leigh! That is my daughter's middle name. I also have an Elizabeth

Arianna Labore [which sounds great, by the way!] is already 6 syllables so it's good to have a short middle name. I like Leigh because it rolls of the tongue well, and having the "E" sound, and the two "L's"...Leigh Labore sounds very nice. That would be a great name by itself.
I think Arianna Ashley Labore also sounds good for the same reason Leigh does

I vote for Renée, of course :)
I love my name. If our next baby is a girl, her middle name will be Renée. I love the meaning of the name too.
Best of luck! Congrats.

I don't know if this helps you or not, but the first name that popped into my head was Smith. It's a strange middle name on it's own but I like the ways is sounds with Arianna.

I like Arianna Nicole - I think that has a nice ring to it and flows well together.

How about Arianna Patricia...I named my daughter who is now 10, Aliya Patricia :)

Good luck!

G. C.

How about a one-syllable name to balance out that beautiful four-syllable name?

Grace, Rae, Jane, Jean...

We gave our son my maiden name as his middle name. It's a way to keep your family name and is very personal too. Good luck!

i like Leigh, but it makes her initials ALL.... so i dunno.

Arianna Nicole is pretty. The first name that came to my head was Arianna Faye. If you want something just a little different, my friend's first name is Necole.

Hope this helps!

Arianna Reese LaBore.

I really like Nicole. We went with that with our youngest (Annabeth Nicole) as that was the one that sounded the best.....People would joke and say, well try yelling the first and middle name like they are in trouble....lol

Arianna Nicole Labore
Arianna Marie Labore
Arianna Elizabth Labore
Arianna Paige Labore
Arianna Hope Labore
Arianna Joy Labore
Arianna Michelle Labore
Arianna Jayde Labore
Arianna Elise Labore
Arianna Christine Labore
Arianna Grace Labore
Arianna Rose Labore

I like Nicole best, but with so many syllables, why have a middle name at all? I think they are over-rated. Unless you are using a middle name to honor a friend of relative, I don't think they are necessary.

my first thought was
Arianna Mae

I finished the first scentence of your request and said to myself Arianna Renee before I even read the choices, so I have to say I think that would be a nice fit.
We have the same problem finding a middle name--the nursing students who were at the hosp. helped us =)
Congrats!

I was born in the late 60's. Almost everybody I know has the middle name MARIE. It seems to work with everything. :)

Are you a big Twilight fan? I like the sound of Arianna Nicole.

I don't like Nicole because the initials ANL make me think you are only missing one more letter and then you have a very good way for kids to tease. Leigh and Labore are too much alike, so I think Arianna Renee Labore sounds very nice and the initials ARL don't bring up any easy teasing things I can think of.

How about C.? Arianna C. Labore is really cute and meaningful! I wouldn't go with Nicole it is too close to Labore...sounds kind of funny.

Grace came to me right away

I went with my maiden name for my daughters middle name. If your baby will already carry "your" last name, choose our mom's maiden name. It doesn't sound as smooth as most people expect, but it is ME, and who I was before I was married. It is my way of carring on my maiden name. AND I was the one that gave birth, I gave my husband NO choise in her middle name. (He picked our sons middle name.)

Good luck!
