Re: Elizabeth as Middle Names - Classic or Unimaginative
It depends on the name it's paired with. I've heard of a few Claire Elizabeths, and I think those names pair well together. Other names I think match the vibe of Elizabeth are Marie, Mary, Sarah, Edith, Linette, Ethel, Marian, Rose, Ann, Katherine, Meredith, Erin, Yvette, Eleanor, Cicely
I've heard of a Maeve Elizabeth, I think which sounds good in theory, but I don't like how the very clear A sound is paired with the more muffled vowel sounds of Elizabeth. Elizabeth also seems like sort of a dusty name to me, not in a dirty bad way, but in terms of colors. Elizabeth makes me think of dusty pastel yellow, and so do a lot of other classic names. The classic elegance makes me think of old lace sometimes. Modern names seem more clear and vibrant to me, if that makes sense, so it seems strange and off to me when they are paired with classics like Rose, Marie or Elizabeth.
So in some circumstances, I think Elizabeth is only fitting, but in others it feels unimaginative and out-of-place, but it does flow well with many names. Sometimes, though, if the first name is also long, it can be a mouthful. Maybe I'm just picky lolI think Annie Elizabeth is nice, and so is Amanda Elizabeth.
