HelpRe: Female middle name wanted: J…consonant, bisyllabic, Christian/German, independent
in reply to a message by Crissov
What about Jacinth?
I had a thing for Giacinta, which is the Italian version.
It's not very common, but it's not unheard of. Not really used in Germany, but it wouldn't be considered weird there. Has two syllables, with a second syllable stressor. It's not a vowel-ending and it's in the Bible (albeit talking about the stone, Revelation). It's not a male name, though there are male versions, and it is not a diminutive, merely a variation. It's definitely a positive thing.
Justine is the only other option I can think of. That also fits most of your criteria though.
Katharina Jacinth
Katharina Justine
Katharina Judith
All are lovely to be honest.
If you were willing to bend a bit on the syllables AND the ending - Junia is lovely. She was the first female apostle.
Also - J is not used in Italian... only G. There are plenty of gorgeous Italian names out there.
Finally - My choice for you would be Irene.
It is used in English, Italian and German. Pronounced differently each way, but lovely in each case. It is found throughout history, is totally common, and has a second syllable stressor.
I might be biased, as my second daughter has this as her second middle name (pronounced ee-reh-neh).
Katharina Irene is lovely.
