We have a first and middle name picked for a boy, but can't choose a girl's name. My husband likes Reese (not because of Witherspoon, he saw it in a baby name book.) It is growing on me, but I can't seem to think of a middle name that sounds good. I like Jillian, but he hates it. Any suggestions?

Parents must remember that their child must live with the name they give him/her (at least 'til the child is old enough to request a legal name change ...). In the meantime, the child can face severe ridicule from school bullies just for having a "different" name.
My point here is that both you and your husband should think very carefully about a name for your daughter. The first, middle and last names should flow comfortably when spoken. Many parents borrow a middle name from their parent or grandparent in honour of them or to carry on family tradition.
Depending on what your last name is, I kind of like the idea of a multi-syllabic middle name to balance with "Reese". "Reese Dawn" (just for example) sounds a little too edgy. Also don't pick anything similiar in sound to "Reese" (like "Lisa" for example ... "Lisa" can be abbreviated to "Lise" which would rhyme and potentially cause severe turmoil for the child).
My best advice is to return to your baby name book. Highlight preferred names and then state them verbally. Repeat them out loud several times. Sort them in order of which sounds best. If you still can't decide, just sign back onto Yahoo! Answers with your preferences and I'm sure that we all can help you decide!

I like nameing the middle name after a parent or grandparent or even a great grandparent. My daughters middle name will be after my great grandma! I've alsohad some friends name their child with the mother's maiden name, it's cute! But some other's for Reese could be....May, Elizabeth, Judith, Cheyann (I like this one!) Good Luck! By the way...Reese is very cute!

I like using family names as middle names, like a mother's or grandmother's name, to give it meaning. With a short name like Reese, which is really cute by the way, I think you should go with a name with 2 or 3 syllables, like Jillian. Maybe something like Reese Catherine. It also depends on your last name.

Reese is a nice name, as for middle name it depends on your last name, for instance Reese is one syllable and if your last name is one syllable you could go for something with two syllables for a middle name eg. Reese Jillian Smith but if your last name is two syllables you could switch like Jillian Reese Williams, hope this helps. Also using your grandmothers name is nice for a middle name.

How about naming the middle name after a parent or grandparent or favorite aunt or cousin? Reese is a cool name but it is hard to come up with a nice sounding middle name to go with it! Good Luck!

Why don't you use Reese as the middle name and simply call her Reese. Several friends of mine call their kids by the middle name instead of the first and it is even allowable in school. Reese is a great middle name that would flow good with just about any name. Good luck and Congrats!!
