Middle name for Janine

[Anonymous]

We're expecting a baby girl and have already decided she's going to be named after my mom, Janine. It's not a name I would have otherwise chosen but it's meaningful and we're set on it - the baby will go by Janie. I'm stumped on a middle name, though! Other first names we liked before we decided were Lucy, Elizabeth (Libby), Eloise, and Claire, but none of those sound right with our one-syllable, very common last name. You guys are great at this, so give me your best suggestions!

Not your maiden name, but any other nice sounding last names in either of your family trees? I think Janine would sound very nice with one.

Louise is rather like some of the ones you listed but a bit longer which seems to be the cadence you want.

I would pick a name that lends itself to a cute double barrelled nickname.

Janine Elizabeth/Janie Beth

Janine is a beautiful name!

I personally like the way it sounds with a longer middle name since your last name is short:

Janine Elizabeth
Janine Isabella
Janine Lucinda
