Need middle name help! (baby girl)

[lusterleaf]

So I have less than 4 weeks to go and I am still deciding on a middle name for our baby girl.

We have decided on the first name Paige and our last name is 1 syllable and begins with a W. Because the first name is 1 syllable I would like a longer syllable middle name to balance it out. DH feels like we don't have to give a middle name at all, but I feel like the name is not complete without one.

Anyway I liked how Paige Alexandra flowed, but then the initials would be "PAW", do you think this is a big deal?

I also liked Paige Catherine, Catherine is my mom's name, but my DH is not fond of my mom so he said no to that.

Another option that my DH brought up is to put my first name as the middle name, so it would be Paige Jennifer.

Thoughts, suggestions? Thank you!

I think Paige Alexandra is lovely. I definitely wouldn't worry about the PAW. It wouldn't put me off.

I do like Jennifer as well but think Alexandra seems to flow better

I agree with the above. Paige Elizabeth would also be nice.

I like Paige Alexandra. I don't think PAW is a big deal, it's kind of cute actually.

I would avoid the initials "PAW" personally.

I've always thought the name Paige Lilliana or Lilliana Paige would be very pretty! For some reason that name just flows perfectly to me!

The suggestion of Paige Elizabeth sounds very good together too. I'm not a fan of using Jennifer, sorry.

I love the name, Paige, by the way. So simple, classic, and beautiful!

Don't worry about PAW at all. My intials were SAT growing up and it didn't bug me at all. Now they are SAM. A little nicer but still doesn't make a difference. No one ever noticed my initials unless I pointed it out. I love Paige Alexandra.

You could use Catherine spelt Kathryn instead.

I wouldn't worry to much about initials either, no one notices. Only annoying thing was another girl in my class had the same initials so stole a lot of my art projects in art, but that's something you can't plan for.

As for time, I wouldn't worry. My daughter was going to be called Hannah, yet ended up with Erika after she was born.

Paige Alexandra was the name that popped into my head before I even read that was your first choice. It definitely flows well, don't worry about the initials spelling PAW, how often do we actually see our name written like that anyway? And there are certainly worse initials that someone could have, ASS, POO, STD etc! One day she may get married and it would then be completely different anyway. If you love the name go for it.

I wouldn't be fussed about initials at all personally. As someone else said, there are much worse initials than PAW!
I love Paige Alexandra! I also thought Paige Emily or Paige Charlotte.

What about Caitlin, Cynthia, Cordelia, Cameron? You could sort of indirectly honour your mum, if that's what you want and DH might not oppose it.

I wouldn't worry about the 3 initials together though, most of the time she would only put first & last (PW in any case) or first initial & last name. Paige Alexandra is lovely.
