Okay, so my mom is reading this book, and one of the characters is named Wisteria Rose with the nn Wist. Her brother was named Whitford. Anyways, I kinda fell in love with it. I don't really want to use Rose as the mn because I already have an Autumn Rose on my list, and I think I prefer the nn Teari (pron. TEER-ee). So I just wanted to get everybody's opinion. I'd love some suggestions for middle names too. Thanks! :blink:

I'm the same way. I'd never thought of it as a name before either, just a street. :)

And I also adore Wisteria Rose, but I don't want to use it because I already have an Autumn Rose on my list and don't want to change it. Nothing else seems to be as good though.

I do like Wisteria Anne and Wisteria Ever, but I'm not 100% on them yet.

I think I prefer the nn Wist :blink:

I think its VERY pretty and def. up your alley ...

I think Wisteria needs a classical middle name to off set its eccentricity. Maybe...

Wisteria Violet (another flower)
Wisteria Charlotte
Wisteria Adelaide

Wisteria Jane
Wisteria Alice
Wisteria Molly
Wisteria Lorraine
Wisteria Laurent/Laurel
Wisteria Florence
Wisteria Shelley
Wisteria Merle
Wisteria Geneveive
Wisteria Madeleine/Madeline
Wisteria Meredith

Okay, so I knew I was getting something wrong. Her nickname in the book was Wisty, and I preferred either Wist or Teari. Wisty is starting to grow on me now too. So I guess I need everyone's opinion on nn now: Wisty, Wist, or Teari?


Here are the ones I like from your list, Katie:

Wisteria Violet - I like the two flowers theme :blink:
Wisteria Charlotte
Wisteria Jane
Wisteria Lorraine
Wisteria Laurel
Wisteria Florence
Wisteria Merle - I don't know about this one. I really like how it flows, maybe because it's only one syllable...


I also still like:
Wisteria Anne
Wisteria Ever



EDIT: What about Wisteria Pearl instead of Wisteria Merle?

I love Wisteria! :blink: (I'm a fun of lesser known flower names)

I agree Wisteria Rose is just too much, to stack 2 floral names on top of each other like that.

Before you corrected yourself, I was going to say I think Wisty would be my nickname of choice.

I think a flowery, over-the-top name like Wisteria is best paired with a middle name that's strong yet feminine, like Wisteria Pearl, Wisteria Emma, Wisteria Ruby, Wisteria Kate....

Well, the reason I don't really like Wisty is because it sounds like Wiskey to me.

I'm liking Wisteria Pearl more and more. :blink:

Thanks everybody.

Wisteria Pearl is so sweet. I like it more as an MN though...
