[Opinions] Middle Names for Alyssa
Hi, I was sent here by the help of 'Bear' so I'm not too sure how things work. Anyway, I have a very long list of possible middle names for Alyssa. Due to family tradition my lists contain double middle names and I have about 34 separate lists with different 1st middle name and a range of 2nd middle names, each list as roughly 30 names each. My problem is I like all the 1st middle names and can't decide what to pair them with. I'm not expecting but I like to be prepared with my names so they all go well together and don't clash, as well as having say the top 5 middle name combos for Alyssa. I have about 6 first names for both genders, but starting with the girls. Two names were very easy to come up with; Emily Jacqueline Rose and Sophie/a Elizabeth Maree. I also have half of my 4th girl name; Kaitlyn/Caitlyn Alexandra. I would use my names in order Emily, Alyssa, Sophie/a, Kaitlyn/Caitlyn, not 100% on the last 2. So basically I would like my name combo for Alyssa to go well with the others, choose as many names as you like to comment on (2 or more) based on sound and flow. Please list favourite name and least favourite names and say what you like/dislike about them.

I like Alyssa!
I like a lot of these middle names you've mentioned (just not Evangeline really, but whatever). Hard to choose favorites - the difference a third middle name makes is really subtle.
Favorites:
Alyssa E. Eve. I like the repeated sound and think it would flow well with a surname, to have the tidy single syllable third name.
Alyssa E. Elaine - again, nice rhythm with repeated sounds without being rhymey. Evangeline Elaine almost flows right together, and sounds very sharp and neat next to softer, more natural-ish Alyssa.
Alyssa E. Skye - sounds sort of lofty and flowy, and the shortness of the third name is good.
Alyssa E. Claire - sharp
Alyssa E. Teyla - just because it's interesting. I think it would be fun to have the unique name there, to temper the slightly supercilious Evangeline.
Least favorites as the third middle for A. E. :
Elyse, because it repeats Alyssa.
Felicity and Faith, because both they and Evangeline have religious connotations, and using two such names on one child seems to make too big a deal of that.
Paige, Pearl, Odette, Piper - because I just don't like the way they feel in this combo. Sort of like they're hipster ballast weighing down an otherwise pretty name.
