20 Middle Name Trends for Baby Girls
Sometimes pregnancy can be a drag, but there are some parts that are actually a lot of fun -- designing the nursery, shopping for tiny clothes, and, of course, picking out baby names. Unfortunately, that last part can come with a little bit of pressure, because the name parents choose for their baby is something they're going to be stuck with for the rest of their lives. Although finding the right first name can be tough, finding a baby girl middle name can be even more of a challenge.
After all, middle names are no joke -- they might not be used as commonly (or at all) but it's important to choose one that pairs well with baby's first and last names. And who wants to accidentally give their kid initials that spell something weird?
This is where the internet (and this list) come in. Thousands of baby name ideas exist, but for parents who are looking for something that's surging in popularity, there are also trending baby girl middle names that might just work. From less traditional names such as India to more classic yet still popular names such as Elizabeth, there's something here for every taste.
Read on for some of the trendiest middle names right now for baby girls. Picking out that name is a huge responsibility, but it's worth the extra effort. Good luck!
Violet
Whether mom and dad are thinking about the flower or the color, Violet is a unique (and currently very trendy) option as far as middle names go. It's unusual but still rising in popularity -- and it will add a little oomph to a more traditional first name.
Elizabeth
Elizabeth is one of those names that will probably remain a popular middle name for baby girls forever, and it's easy to see why. It coordinates with any last name and first name combo, and no matter how trends change, it's always in style.
Justice
A strong middle name with a strong, obvious meaning for a baby girl? Sign us up. Justice has become a more common choice for middle names in recent years, and it seems like its popularity isn't slowing down any time soon.
India
India is a beautiful name -- and when it's used as a middle name, it definitely adds a little something extra to baby's name as a whole. Names of places, like this one -- or Savannah or Brooklyn -- as baby names are getting more and more popular, and India is a unique twist on that trend.
June
This is a perfect middle name for a baby girl who's born in June -- and even if she's not, it's still a totally adorable addition to almost any first name baby's parents have chosen. Any Handmaid's Tale fans out there? This one's for them!
Elise
Lately, Elise has been becoming more and more popular, so why not as a middle name? The name comes from French and it's a version of Elizabeth, which means "God is my oath." Seems like a good choice for parents who like the longer name but are looking for something a bit shorter.
