Just feels like it needs to be something short in the middle there The risk of course is that if she has a short middle name, people will call her by her short middle name rather than the longer 'Rebecca'... My preference, of course, goes for the name 'Abigail'... I'll keep thinking!!! How about Rebecca Lee?

I don't know that it matters what you pick as long as it has two syllables. I don't think you want three. A 3-syllable first name followed by a 2-syllable middle name sounds best. Just for variety!

There are candidates from family names, but . . . sigh. . . . it's a long story. I'm not overly attached to "family" names because I have several hundred thousand "family" names to choose from. (My dad and maternal grandparents work very hard on family history.) Basically, if I like a name, chances are very good that I can find it in our family tree.

My son's middle name is the same as my husband's middle name and if we have a girl someday her middle name will come from my grandmother's name. By the way, great choice with the name Benjamin. That's my son's name too! Joleene Do you have any family names that would be nice as a middle name?

I'm very partial to the Biblical names myself, what about Leah or Tamar...?
