Of the names you listed I really like Lauren Merideth and Lauren Margaret.

I think that Beverly, Lily and Mary will all be rhymey with your ln ending in a y, and Marie just feels like a "filler" middle name to me as it is so common. I think since your older DD has a family name for a mn, it would be nice to do that here as well. Good luck deciding. I love love love William (Liam) David, wonderful choice!

I do like your chose for names. I think using Marie, your Mom's name is the best mention so far. We used Nicole as a middle name. In fact we had agreed on it WAY before we agreed on a first name. And we found it went nicely with any first name.

On a side note I think Wilma is a female version of William. I have no idea about David though. Sorry.

My favorite combo from your list would be Lauren Suzanne. I think it's beautiful and doesn't have the "filler" feel of Marie. Also, it honors your mother, but I think it would be less of a jinx to keep her name in the mn slot. ;-)

I think Katherine and Lauren are great names for sisters! Congrats on another little girl! My girls are just 17 months apart, and they're so sweet together and really starting to become friends as they get older.

I like Lauren Margaret best. Lauren Marie is nice too if you want to go that way for your mother. I like Lauren Suzanne but I think Katharine Anne and Lauren Suzanne don't match up well. {I know a woman who has two daughters, Ally Christina and Ava Christine and having the two middle names so similar really irks me}


Lauren is a beautiful name, as is Katharine {my favorite spelling!}. Good luck and congratulations on your pregnancy.

How about Laurent Meredith June "Riley". It seems to flow well. My sister just named her little girl Emma Elizabeth Marie "Ripley".

The two middle names is really becoming more popular here on East Coast - here's an article I just found on it -

Good luck and let us know what you decide : )
