I posted a few days ago asking for help choosing names for my twins (girl & boy). We've decided to go with Tyson Jaymes for the boy and Everly for the girl, but we need some ideas for a good middle name for Everly. We'd like to take something from my side of the family. Tyson is my husband's fave name, and his name is Jay (hence, Jaymes). Everly is my favorite girl name (pronounced Everlee), so it would be nice if the middle name had some tie to me but it doesn't have to. Please let me know what you think! Below are some names from my side of the family:

Loren Elizabeth (me)
Sharon Melissa (mom)
William Aubrey (dad)
Alice Antoinette (grandmother)
Dessie Pearl (grandmother)

ANY and ALL suggestions welcome!!!

[Anna.]

Everly Alice
Everly Pearl
Everly Loren
Everly Melissa
Everly Shariden (kind of a mix between your mom's name and yours. The original spelling is Sheridan)
Everly Antoinette
Everly Beth

[Anna.]

Would you like more middle names that aren't family names? Just a random list?

[Loren]

Yes! I'm open to anything at this point! So far I like these:

Everly Alice
Everly Antoinette
Everly Shariden (I like the spelling on this one!)

[Charl]

Loren Elizabeth (me)
Sharon Melissa (mom)
William Aubrey (dad)
Alice Antoinette (grandmother)
Dessie Pearl (grandmother)

Everyone in your family shares the letter L and you have liss (MeLISSa, aLICe) liz (eLIZabeth) and ess (dESSie) sounds which are very similar. Drawing on this, you could use;
Everly Alissa
Everly Alessandra
Everly Jessah
Everly Marissa
Everly Vanessa
Everly Bliss
Everly Carissa
There are so many names containing Li that you could use too, there's too many for me to choose from to list here. As Everly ends in -lee it would be hard to find a name that begins Li which isn't a tongue twister though.

[Anna.]

Everly Caroline
Everly Kate
Everly Brooke
Everly Jane
Everly Sarah
Everly Charlotte
Everly Scarlett
Everly Summer
Everly Noelle
Everly Madison
Everly Hannah
Everly Faith
Everly Grace
Everly Adelle
Everly Rachelle
Everly Allison
Everly Sierra
Everly Sienna
Everly Violet
Everly Rose
Everly Amelia
Everly Marissa (kind of close to Melissa)
Everly Marina
Everly Claire
Everly Camille

Thanks everyone! I think I'm going to go with Everly Antoinette. My grrandmother is extremly close to me, and I like that her name is more unusual.

[alyssa897]

Good choice!

Thanks everyone! I think I'm going to go with Everly Antoinette. My grrandmother is extremly close to me, and I like that her name is more unusual.

Everly Antoinette is gorgeous!

[Loren]

aaaaahhhhh...I have a problem! My husband is not in love with Antoinette! He says that if I must have it he'll be OK since he understands the special connection behind it, but I would like for him to be happy too. That said, I'm considering Everly Alice (since Alice is my gran's first name). Do you all like this one?

Also, what is everyone's opinion on Ever as a nn?
