So I am planning on having five kids. My last name is Greene. I really like traditional or preppy names. My first child is Andrew Chandler Greene, my second is Elizabeth Riley Greene, my 3rd is William Parker Greene, and I am planning on naming my next daughter Kate. However I cannot think of a middle name that sounds good with Kate! I know that most people use the name Katherine and then go by Kate as a nickname but I really want her first name to actually be Kate. Any suggestions?? I originally was gonna name her Emma Kate Greene but I kinda like Kate as a first name. Should I leave it as Emma Kate or should I think up a middle name for Kate?? My next daughter is going to be named Mary Caroline Greene. PLEASE HELP!!

{Sorry, I'm not sure if I misunderstood Do you already have 3 children? Or have you just decided what you would name them?}

However, Welcome to BNG. I haven't seen you around before, so I'm assuming you're fairly new to the site.

Anyhow, I think just Kate is fine for a first name!
I do love Emma Kate, though it seems to be the most popular middle name for Emma, as far as I've seen.

Here's a few suggestions for middle names ♥;

Kate Addison
Kate Gwendolyn
Kate Madeline

I personally love Katherine/Kathryn/Catherine, so I would use it.
I also find middle names that flow, tend to be easier to find with Katherine than Kate.
But each to their own. :]

I think Kate is fine as a name on it's own. However, since your other children have longer more classic names which tend to then have a nickname, I think Katherine would fit better. I think Andrew, Elizabeth, William and Katherine makes a great set of siblings!

Another thing to bear in mind is having William and Kate in the same family, considering the recent Royal Wedding. This sort of depends on when the children are born, but if it's in the next few years then it might be a bit strange. Therefore it might better to use Emma. Emma Katherine Greene sounds really nice.
