[Opinions] Adelaide, Cordelia and Estella
by Hannah-Sue

My husband has been in a good mood lately. I'm not sure if he is just humouring me, but he told me that he likes Adelaide, Cordelia and Estella. I was just wondering what everyone thought of these as a sibset, what names would be good for their brothers and the main point, what names do you think would make good middle names for Adelaide, Cordelia and Estella.My husband is not predictable so the more suggestions the merrier and I wouldn't mind some that diverge from my style. He likes Mariana and Celestine, if you want to use those as a starting point. Thanks a lot everyone!

I love Adelaide and Estella as first names.I've alwyas liked Adelaide but have trouble finding a middle name as well.Estella is my grandmother's name, nn Stella. I've always loved it, Estella Sophia. Using her combo is the only way I can stand either name though.I don't really like Cordelia as much but it goes well with the others.

Brothers for Adelaide, Cordelia, & Estella:
Miles
Leo / Leopold
Jasper
Felix
Cecil
Basil
Roman
Ambrose
Henry
Edmund
Arthur
Julius
Frederick
Hugh / Hugo
George
Louis

Of what nationality are you? If you are American, all of those names particularly stink.

My point is that if you choose humongously hard names to spell, your child will be so frustrated in kindergarten when learning how to spell it!

"Stink" does not = "difficult to spell" :-/
