We don't know the gender - induction booked for 5 days time on boxing day but struggling for middle names for the first names we've chosen! Rory for a boy, Clara for a girl.
Any suggestions welcome, for a girl just want to avoid Grace/May/Rose as they are so popular as middle names. TIA

I see the theme 😉. My daughter is Aimée Rose obviously different spelling of first name but you can probably guess where both names are from so following that;
Jenny
Ace
Susan
Sarah or Jane
Harry
Leela
Romana
Adric
Teegan
Nyssa
Peri
Melanie
Amy
River for either boy or girl
Graham
Ryan
Dan
Jamie
Victoria
Zoe
Polly
Ben
Lucie
Charlotte.
Jane is my favourite that goes with Clara
And Adric strangely goes with Rory

My daughter is also called Clara, such a lovely name! We ended up going with a family name as a second name, but before we thought of that, I really liked Joan as a second name. I'm into history and I loved the thought of her being named after a strong female character out of history like Joan D'Arc. Clara Joan sounds really nice to me depending on what last name you have and if it works together with that too. Other names that I can imagine as nice middle names are: Amelie, Noelle (especially with a Christmas birthday) , Wren and Louise.

oh my god, I also just made the Clara&Rory connection with Doctor Who! Funnily enough my daughter Clara is also named due to the inspiration of Clara in Doctor Who.
is there a theme?! Luckily if there is an accidental theme we'll only be using one or the other!
Thank you, I like Jane too actually 😊 x
aww Joan is my Granny's name! My only remaining grandparent. I could definitely put that to my husband although he'd probably want his grandparent's name then if we had another child!
I like the idea of Christmassy too, I like Clara Holly but that has been vitoed.

Yeah, the theme is Dr Who companions. Matt Smith's Dr had Amy and Rory as companions and then Clara, Clara crossed over to be Peter Capaldi's companion also. You accidentally stumbled on 2 names of which are instantly recognisable to Dr Who fans. On their own obviously no one would know but the combo made me think they were purposeful Dr Who themed choices.
how interesting!! I haven't watched Dr Who since David Tenant was the Dr haha thank you for explaining ☺️
