Hey everyone. As time goes on I do see myself going further and further. I have been wondering what a good middle name is still:

Ashley Nicole

Ashley Paige

Ashey Marie

Ashley Monicah

Ashley Patricia

Opinions please :)

Personally I think Marie is a good middle name. :) However, I am a little biased, as it is my middle name as well. :D :P

I'm biased that way, too!  :D

Hugs, Devlyn

By the way, is Marie the only one you'd change your first name for?  :laugh:

I have to confess to having no imagination regarding names.  I picked mine based on the sounds of my boy names.  I thought about going with something completely different, like Amanda or Grace (and my wife had innumerable other suggestions), but none of them felt like me.  Kathleen Lauren just sounded like me.

So, which of your choices feels most like you?

I like the rhythm of the two-syllable names, Nicole and Marie.  But all of them are pretty names.

I like Ashley Nicole.

I like Marie too, but Nicole would be second choice. I went from Robert Wayne to Wanda Jane, kinda kept the same ring.

I like Nicole, because it is my wife's nickname.   :)  But Ashley Patricia has such elegance to it.  It just depends on the effect you are after. 

I went from Charles Edward to Carly Emelinda.  I guess I went crazy on syllables.  But Edward does not feminize well, and Emelinda contracts to Mindy, which is a name I used online when I was a lot younger.

I will call her Ashley George and I will love her and pet her and squeeze her ....
lol

Thanks everyone for the suggestions :). I am learning toeward Marie or Nicole more or less, Paige comes a close 3rd :)

I do love the Bugs Bunny references if it makes you happy <3 :)

 Yeah I like that particular bit and think of it when people start talking about names.  Sorry

I do like Ashley Marie for the record.

It flows of the tongue better.  Devlyn is prejudiced in favor of it.

Just wanna through this out there. In college I had a friend that used both her first and middle name as her complete name. It was Claire Michelle. Just always thought that sounded cool, and that she used both as her name was different. :) Whatever you pick, I liked that she used both first and middle as her name.

Hi Ashley,
   Try googling a program for suggestions on middle names. My coworkers helped me pick mine with this. It should be something easy to say, it should flow with the last name. To offer a suggestion, how about Morgan? Perhaps the most common middle names for gals are Lee and Marie. I wanted something that wasn't so popular.

I lean towards Ashley Nicole more. :)

Another thought is you could use what would have been your feminine birth name if you know it. I might end up going with Renée Amelia. :)

nicole and marie definitely sound best with the name ashley; which one works better would probably depend on the last name and how it sounds as a whole.  on their own, i think marie has the nicest flow, but that might change when the last name is added, like if it started with a rounded vowel sound for instance then nicole might work better.

Thanks for all your responces!!! Yes, the more I think about it the more inclined I am to go with either Marie or Nicole :)

As for the poster who sugestions I see what my feminine middle name woud have been it is tough as my parents say they dont really know. I did ask my dad years ago and I think he said my middle name would have been Bayley or some form of spelling of that name. My current middle name is Scott, which is as masculine as it gets for names so I cant do to much to convert it xD

Instead of voting for one of the names you listed, my suggestion is more about how you can see which feels right to you.  If you go to Starbucks, give them one of your middle names as the name they write on the cup.  See how it feels to receive something with your new name on it and if it feels correct at all.  I've done this several times when trying to choose a middle name and I was able to determine I don't actually want a middle name.
