I love Maija Elizabeth! Maija isn't on my list, but I still think it's cute. This is the first time I've seen it, but I perfer the Maija spelling, too. Elizabeth has ALWAYS been on my list! It's paired with just about everything! I love it. As far as Janis (I'm not sure how to do accent marks) goes, I've never heard it that way, but I think it's lovely that you're honoring family. What style middle name are you going for?

I love Maia. Though I much prefer Maya. Maija is pretty, but Maia is slightly more appealing. I love Elizabeth as well, it's currently on my list. Maia Elizabeth is gorgeous! Jānis is very cute and unique! A couple suggestions...

 

Jānis Carter

Jānis Levi

Jānis Maxwell

Jānis Andrew

Jānis Bram

Jānis Elijah

Jānis Daniel

 

Opinions on Audrey Natalia Quinn/Natalia Audrey Quinn & Kellin James?

 

From your suggestions, I like:

Jānis Maxwell

Jānis Andrew

Jānis Daniel

 

 

Audrey Natalia is gorgeous.  I prefer Quinn for a boy.  I love Natalia Audrey too, though I think Audrey Natalia flows smoother than Natalia Audrey.  The A's run into each other in the latter.  Kellin is okay, but Kellan or Kellen look better.  Kellan/Kellen James flows very nicely.

Jānis is common in Latvia, though I was born and raised in the US.  J in Latvian is pronounced like a Y.  I don't know how to type the accents either except "é".  I copy/paste them from somewhere when I wanna use them.  For middle names, I like classic names (unusual names are fine, but no made up/ridiculous ones).  Elizabeth is gorgeous.  I'd use it as a first name if it weren't for its popularity.

 

 

I love just Delia Claire.  Delia is beautiful!  I really love that name too, but I don't know if it fits right with my last name.  Jolie just reminds me of Angelina Jolie.  I also love Elijah Everett,  but Mason is way too trendy and popular for my liking.

 

Opinions on Noelle and Conrad?  I'm not sure on middle names.  I'm not completely sold on Conrad, but I don't think it's that bad.  Christmas is my favorite holiday, and Noelle is the feminine form of Noël which is the French word for Christmas so I've always loved it.  Christmas itself doesn't feel like a real name though, unless you're a Bond girl.  lol

I love love love Noelle! It's so pretty!

Noelle Claire

Noelle Rae

Noelle Faith

Noelle Elizabeth

Noelle Shailene 

Noelle Judith 

Noelle Jane

It's kind of hard to find middle names that flow just right. You could always use it as a middle name and still call her by her middle name. I know plenty of people that do the same thing.

 

I'm not entirely sure how I fell about Conrad either...it feels more like a surname to me...

Conrad William

Conrad Matthew 

Conrad Everett....I tried...

 

Thoughts on Elodie Judith Harlow and Elijah Samuel James?

[Laney]

Yes, Noelle is very hard to find a middle name that flows well, especially with my last name.  From your suggestions I like Noelle Elizabeth and Noelle Judith.  Noelle Claire is nice too.  I love the idea of using Noelle as a middle name and just calling her Noelle instead of her first name.  Conrad William sounds really good and I love that the middle name honors my grandpa and my brother.

 

Elodie isn't my favorite, but I think Elodie Judith flows perfectly together.  Never did like Harlow.  It's one letter off from a certain word I'm not sure I should mention on this post.  Elijah Samuel James is handsome!  

 

Opinions on Anastasia/Anastasija (nickname Anya/Anja.  Anastasija is the Latvian spelling) and Ivan?  Ivan honors my cousin Ian and a guy I used to work with.  I'm not sure of middle names.   Anastasia/Anastasija _____________ McDonald and Ivan _____________ McDonald.

[HaydensMama18]

I love Anastasia/Anastasija! It's gorgeous and sounds princess-y. I love both spellings so I can't choose. Not a fan of the nn Anya/Anja though. Ivan is okay. I had a guy in my HS classes named Ivan and I never liked him, so I have bad connotations with it. I had good friends named Ian and Ivana (really pretty) though! Some middle name suggestions...

 

Anastasia/Anastasija Kylie/Kylee

Anastasia/Anastasija Brooke

Anastasia/Anastasija Lucy

Anastasia/Anastasija Lauren

Anastasia/Anastasija Michelle

Anastasia/Anastasija Jocelyn

Anastasia/Anastasija Hadley

Anastasia/Anastasija Lainey/Laney

 

Ivan Joseph

Ivan Carter

Ivan Reese/Rhys

Ivan Harry 

Ivan Benjamin

Ivan Francis

Ivan Gideon

Ivan Gregory

 

 

Opinions on Louise (may or may not use it, honors my deceased cousin, Luis) and Clark/Clarke?

[Laney]

I love Ivan Joseph, Ivan Rhys, Ivan Francis, and Ivan Gregory.  The middle names for Anastasia/Anastasija are too modern for my taste (and I don't care for Lucy on its own.  It's okay, though I like Lucia or Luciana better, possibly with Lucy as a nickname), but if I had to choose from those, I'd go with Lauren.  I like the family connection to it.  Kylie is a name in my family too, though not my style.  I love Laney, but that's my nickname and I feel weird about naming kids after myself.  XD

 

Louise and Clark/Clarke sound like you're obsessed with Superman.  Not necessarily a bad thing.  Both are good, classic names.  I love that Louise honors one of your late cousins and it works better for a little girl than Lois does.  As for Clark/Clarke, I prefer the first spelling.   I also think that Louise and Clark/Clarke feel more like middle names.

 

Opinions on Ksenia/Ksenija and Stefan (not sure of middle names.  I know I want something that is classic, but not filler.  I don't wanna pair every name on my list with Rose, Elizabeth, James, or William.  lol)?  Ksenia/Ksenija _____________ McDonald and Stefan _____________ McDonald.
