The Genie's Baby Middle Names Advice

#1) Say your baby middle name ideas with the first and last name together. The ideal middle name should flow and not wrap your tongue up in knots.

#2) A middle name that begins with a different letter or sound than the first name ends with normally makes for a smoother name combination.

#3) Vary the number of syllables in each name. A long middle name can nicely compliment a short first and last name. A short middle name can smooth out a long first and last name combination. Whatever you do, don't string three long names together (unless you want your child to have difficulty filling out forms their whole life!)

My wife is Japanese and I'm American. I would like our daughter to have an American first name and a Japanese middle name. What do you think? Is the Genie familiar with Japanese names?

The lamp does make it difficult for me to get through airport security, but Abbygail Kioko is the way to go.

We have settled on Shelby as a first name for our baby girl and her last name starts with M. We want her to have her father's initials, which are SSM. We are stuck on a middle name starting with S.

Try Sofia, Sabrina, or Savannah on for size.

Mr. Genie in your shiny lamp please ~*PoOf*~ some magic for a surname "Roe". I have two children, Olivia Grace and Matthew Cole, from a previous marriage whose names quite nicely fit their cognomen. However, I remarried, this time to a Roe and fishing for Roe in this boat is anything but merry, despite what other homophones imply. Therefore, I need help finding first and middle names for a baby girl and boy that fit Roe but also mix well with Cole and Olivia. The last thing I want are idioms, like Duksin A. Roe or Skid Roe on my baby's birth certificate.

Don't fret- life will be a dream again if you name your baby Caroline Rebecca or Alexander Logan.

I love the name Reese for a girl and would love to use my grandmother's name as a middle name. Is Reese Bernice too funny sounding? If so, I will go with Elizabeth which is my mother's middle name.

Unless she was a poet, I think your grandmother would give her blessing to name your baby girl Reese Elizabeth.

We named our first-born Falkner, which is a family name. The OBGYN's comment, "He better grow up to be tough" sums up what many others think of our choice. That being said, we love the name, and feel it suits Falkner perfectly. My question: What to name the next boy??? Obviously a simple name won't suffice. Please help Genie!!!!

Since the pen is mightier than the sword, choose another Nobel prize winning author: Beckett, Eliot, or Russell. You might consider another OBGYN as well.

I am having my first daughter and I'm stuck. I LOVE the name Melody, and I'm sure her father would have been pleased with that name, but I don't know if Melody Jamie goes well together. Please help.
