Message: "Cadence" - Behind the Name

Cadence

I know not everyone on here is fond of Cadence, or the nn "Cady" (prn. like Katie), but I need middle name suggestions! Kate is my favorite mn right now and it should be obvious why I couldn't use that. Louise is my backup mn but somehow a "word" name and an old fashioned name like Louise just don't go together. Any suggestions? Keep in mind our last name is 3 syllables and kind of a mouthful. To have a name that means "rhythm" and then not have a good rhythm to the name would just be sad.

Maybe just me, but I don't see any problem with Cadence Louise. In fact, I think that an old-fashioned name balances out the innovation and unusualness of a word name. I do think that a mn with two syllables definitely sounds best with Cadence and a 3-syllable last name.

I like Cadence, and can't decide if I prefer it on a girl or a boy. I think Cady is a nice nn for a girl, and I love Cade for a boy.

Cadence Kate wouldn't be great ... I'm glad you realize this ;P
As an alternative to Louise, how about Cadence Louisa? It seems to flow a little better and I find Louisa less stuffy and outdated for some reason.

I like the name Cadence as long as Candy is not used as a nickname. Cadence Kate is a cute combo

Considering Cadence is a word, meaning "rhythm", there is no clear gender association. Caden to me is boy only.

I know it's unisex, but I still prefer Cadenc eon a boy only.
