Arielle...

Husby likes Arielle Ruth for our little girl, but I'm not completely sold... opinions on it? We are looking for a three syllable name that goes with Isaiah & Naomi, but it's proven a bit of a challenge this time around. We have a single syllable last name.

Thanks for your input.

Edited for clarity... thanks!

I love the fact that you call your DH "husby", as do I! Anyway, I think Arielle Ruth is very pretty, I like it a lot. Although I'm not too sure that it fits in that well with Isaiah and Naomi, which are so obviously Biblical. What about Miriam, Moriah, Abigail, Bethany, Jemima, Joanna, Keziah, Lydia, Susannah, Rebekah/Rebecca, Tabitha or Talitha? All those names are Biblical too and many of those would sound nicer with your other kid's names imo.

I really like Arielle. I'm not a fan of Ruth or the repeated r of Arielle Ruth, however, many people like that sort of thing so it all depends on the individual.

Other fn suggestions with three syllables:

Abigail
Adara
Atarah
Aviva
Bethany
Damaris
Delilah
Drusilla
Hadassah
Jemima
Joanna
Keturah
Miriam
Penninah
Priscilla
Shoshannah / Susanna
Tabitha
Talitha

Hope this helps.

I think Arielle Ruth is stunning. Arielle has such a nice meaning and such a pretty sound. Ruth has a nice meaning too. You could call her Ari, Elle or Ella for short, if you wanted. Arielle is spunky and different, and I think it sounds nice with Isaiah and Naomi.

I adore the name Arielle. (air-ee-ELLE). Is Ruth for honoring? Because it doesn't sound great with Arielle, and it's also a really..not nice name in my opinion.
But anyway it's just a middle, and Arielle is soo pretty!

Ruth is a cutesie idea my son came up with because DD's name is Naomi. So they would go together. We're not stuck on it, and actually, I prefer two syllable middle names... I'm just a bit lost in this name finding pea-soup at the moment... LOL!!

So is Arielle the fn, or the first of two mns?

What about Eliana? It fits with Isaiah and Naomi. But it wouldn't work very well with Arielle. Hmmm. Hadassah, Daniella, Tabitha, Mahala (I know one who pronounces it "mah-HAY-luh"), Magdalene, Margalit, Marganit (Israeli flower isn't really biblical, but close)?

Sorry, I mistyped. Arielle is the FN.

OK. So Ruth stays as the mn, and you're looking for a 3 syllable fn that also works with siblings Isaiah and Naomi. Got it.

Miriam Ruth (Miri, Mimi, Mia, Mim?)
Mariam / Maryam Ruth (Mara?)
Hadassah Ruth (Haddie, Dassah?)
Tabitha Ruth (Tabby, Tibby?)
Tamara Ruth (Mara?)
Samara Ruth (Sam, Mara?)
Magdalene Ruth (Maggie?)
Margalit Ruth (Margie?)
Daniella Ruth (Ellie?)
Aviva Ruth (Avi, V, Viv, Evie?)
Rebecca Ruth (Rebi, Becky, Bex?)
Gabrielle Ruth (G, Gabby, Bree, Ellie, Belle / Bella?)
Susannah Ruth (Susie, Annie, Zan, Nan?)
Shoshannah Ruth (Shannie?)

Or, you could use Ruth as the fn, with nn Rue / Ru. That might throw off your pattern though.

Arielle Bithiah
Arielle Moriah
Arielle Bethseda

It's not Biblical but, if you like the "ru" sound, you might like Arielle Rubina.

Okay...I'm a dunce. I misunderstood your post, thinking you were needing a three syllable middle name for Arielle. Lets try this again, with some three-syllable first names...

Adina
Deborah
Moriah
Miriam
Joanna
Lucinda - she's got the "light"
Daniella
Gloria
Marilyn
Olivia - thinking olive branch and peace
Paulina

A tiny Deborah would be fun! Deborah Ariel would flow better than Deborah Ruth, though.

Miriam Ruth, Joanna Ruth or Olivia Ruth would be wonderful; so would Lucinda Ariel.

I just reread my original note and you're right, I did have a stray "middle" in there... thanks for the head's up and your help! :)

I like Arielle it's pretty and unusual. I adore Ruth so that's always a goer with me :)

The only thing I would say is that Arielle doesn't seem the same style as Isaiah and Naomi, but that's not important to everyone I know

You're right... something like Miriam would go better with Isaiah and Naomi, but we liked the meaning of Arielle better... the only thing Arielle has in common with the other siblings names is that they are all Biblical. (Well, Ariel is anyway...) So hard to decide what's more important...LOL... I do like Miriam too, but would have another mn then...

I prefer Ariel, but otherwise it's okay. 3-syllable ideas could be: Rosalind, Cassandra, Betony, Bethany, Elinor, Mirabel, Rosaline, Cassidy, Megara, Megaera, Thalia, Vivian, Vivienne, Winona, Marian? I'm not sure how well any of those fir with Isaiah and Naomi though...

LOL, well, I'd have to avoid Winona... the country music association there is a bit too strong for me. ;) Thanks for the suggestions though!!
