My husband and I are expecting baby 2 soon and we are already settled on a boys name but are still undecided on a girls name. We want to use these two middle names, so will need a first name that is not too long and sounds nice with these... Adelaide Matilda. My short list so far to give you an idea of my style is... Ivy Adelaide Matilda Beatrice Adelaide Matilda Maeve Adelaide Matilda My husband doesn't like any of these so they probably won't get used. We would like a name that compliments our daughter's - Fleur. Many thanks and I look forward to hearing everyone's suggestions! Xo This post has been edited by parismama: 13/01/2013, 12:07 PM

Hi there, Fleur is a little unusual but pretty so the first name that came to mind is Paisley. Paisley Adelaide Matilda Good luck finding something you love! Magenta

We both have names that were in the top 10/20 for most of the 70's, 80's so are scarred for life when it comes to going to school/work and turning around every time you hear your name!

I know of sisters Fleur and Ailish. Not sure how well that goes with your middle names though

It's funny isn't it, DH and I have unusual names and were always the only one with our names, had to spell them etc so we've given out kids top 20 names on purpose

Simone Naomi Genevieve The list of pretty girls names that match are endless. I was looking at French names as they go with Fleur.

I love PP's suggestion of Camille. What about Aster, Calla, Luna, Neve, Stella, Isolde, Sabra...
