I need a little help with a girls name. We aren't sure what we are having and we will find out sometime in August whenever we have the baby. If its a boy, we will be naming it after my husband Rick. However, we aren't sure what to name it if its a girl. My mom, who died when I was young, was named Therese and we'd like to use that as the middle name. (My husband doesn't like it too much for a first name, but if we could use it as a middle name, I would be happy.) We both want a simple name. The name we were thinking about using was June. Do you like that? June Therese Young. The other names we were thinking about were Daisy, Ruth, and Anne. Thank you for your help.

I have a friend whose mother is Theresa and whose MIL is Ann. Her sister had already named a daughter Theresa, but my friend wanted to use the name too. She decided on Ann Theresa. That was the name she brought to the hospital. After the baby was born she looked at her and decided to change Ann Theresa to Anna Therese. It has a really nice flow to it .

I think Anne Therese Young would be a very nice name. Congrats!

I LOVE Therese as a middle name. It's great, and I love the personal significance it has for you. Anne Therese is my favorite combination. Daisy is really cute, but I have a hard time seeing it on a professional woman. And I just can't like Ruth, even though I want to.


Anne Therese is beautiful though. And such a timeless classic. I think it's a winner.

Of those you list, I'd definitely pick Anne. I happen to know an Ann Therese (my mil) whom I like very much. I am not a fan of June....prefer Jane by a mile!

June is okay with Therese, but I prefer Daisy (which I love!) Therese from your list. I would like Anna Therese, but not so much Anne. And, Ruth is not my style with the mn. Here are some other ideas:

Ella Therese
Emma Therese
Ally Therese
Shelby Therese
Holly Therese
Jenna Therese
Mia Therese
Malia Therese
Maria Therese
Marisa Therese
Melissa Therese
Alyssa Therese
Bethany Therese
Clara Therese
Courtney Therese
Lindsey Therese

Farah Therese
Gemma Therese
Gracie Therese
Genevieve Therese
Heather Therese
Heidi Therese
Madison Therese
Isabella Therese
Janna Therese
Janessa Therese
Vanessa Therese
Savanna Therese
Sabrina Therese
Julia Therese
Julianna Therese
Juniper Therese (nn June or Junie)
Kaitlyn Therese
Lauren Therese
Lily Therese
Layla Therese
Molly Therese
Meagan Therese
Natalie Therese
Olivia Therese
Rhianna Therese
Rachel Therese

you could also use a form of Therese instead for first or middle:

Theresa
Terri
Terra
Teryn
Tressa
Tresa
Tessa
Tessie
Tess
Resa
Reese

Good luck,
