[Opinions] Daughters name change
My baby daughters name was Emilia Isabelle but after she was a couple months old we just felt like it wasn’t the right name for her. We decided to change her name to Sofia Juliet her nick name is sophie. I normally prefer only one middle name but we haven’t officially changed it yet, will be doing that this summer, so we were thinking of keeping one of her original names and adding it to the new name. More leaning towards putting Isabelle or Belle since our family sometimes calls her belle. What combos would flow the best/sound the prettiest?
First name will remain Sofia/Sophie. Last name is brown.
Sofia Juliet Belle
Sofia Juliet Isabelle
Sofia Belle Juliet
Sofia Isabelle Juliet
Sofia Emilia Juliet
Sofia Juliet Emilia
or should we just keep it Sofia/Sophie Juliet.
Thanks!!

I vote Sofia Juliet Isabelle
I get it, they used to wait a month to baptize babies for that very reason. Just in case they didn't seem to fit the name
Sofia, nn Sofie or (my preference) Sophia, nn Sophie would make more sense than Sofia/Sophie.Sophia Juliet Emily Brown
Sofia/Sophie Juliet sounds fine as it is, but Sofia Isabelle Juliet Brown sounds better than Sofia Juliet Isabelle Brown, which is the best one that you listed. Belle and Isabelle would make the B's too close to each other (Isabelle Brown, Belle Brown).
I'd also vote to keep it as Sophie Juliet Brown, but Sophie Juliet Isabelle Brown is pretty.
Sofia Juliet Belle Brown sounds odd, if you care about the flow at all. I'd personally go Sofia Isabelle Juliet Brown.
I don’t think you should change it but if you do keep only one middle name.
Just keep Sophie Juliet.
Sofia Juliet Belle has the best sound to it but not if the last name is Brown (with the double b's, it's just a mouthful). Can I suggest:
Sofia-Belle Juliet Brown? Sofia-Belle is the FN, Juliet is the MN. You might not like it hyphenated, however.
Sofia Juliet Isabelle would be my choice if you really want to change it. I personally would just keep it as Sofia Juliet, just to keep it simple. Belle could still be a nickname, because lots of people have little nicknames that don't relate to their legal names, and Belle just means pretty, so it could be more of a pet name like 'cutie'.
I'd keep with Sophie Juliet
This is a hard revision that will affect her life.
Leave it blank and let her decide when she's older.
