middle name for Paisley

I plan on naming my daughter Paisley, but can't decide on a middle name. I was thinking about Jo, which is my middle name, but I don't know if that sounds good together. Any ideas?

Also, I'm curious to see what people think about the name Paisley.

Re: middle name for Paisley

Paisely isn't my style but if I were naming my daughter Paisely, some mn options I think sound good are (and I don't know your style here so sorry if I miss it completely. I tried to encompass a lot of different styles:)...
Paisely Rebecca
Paisely Lauren
Paisely Josephine
Paisely Anne (when you really don't know what else goes:)
Paisely Louise
Paisely Grace (popular)
Paisely Rose (very popular)
Paisely Lorraine
Paisely Ruth

I don't think that Paisely Jo has the best flow.

Re: middle name for Paisley

Paisley Jo has a real country bumpkin connotation to me. I'm from the South and I love it, but I don't know if that's the best impression to give in a name IYKWIM? I would go with something else for the mn. (Unfortunately I'm not that confident at giving suggestions but I'm sure one of the other members will think of something gorgeous.)

Re: middle name for Paisley

I prefer Paisley Rebecca (using your 1st name) to Paisley Jo. I think Paisley needs another feminine, but a little bit traditional name to back it up. Here's some more ideas.

Paisley Alexandra
Paisley Olivia
Paisley Anais -- love this one
Paisley Annabel
Paisley Carolina
Paisley Arabella
Paisley Celeste -- gorgeous imo
Paisley Claudette
Paisley Contina
Paisley Cristina
Paisley Destiny
Paisley Diane -- pretty!
Paisley Eloise
Paisley June -- love it!
Paisley Gabriella
Paisley Irene
Paisley Jennifer
Paisley Juliet
Paisley Lynnette -- love it!
Paisley Melissa
Paisley Marie
Paisley Mireille
Paisley Odessa
Paisley Pearl
Paisley Rayne
Paisley Sabine
Paisley Tatiana
Paisley Yasmine
Paisley Yvonne - love it!

Paisley definitely shouldn't go with a noun name b/c it will sound like it's describing that name (eg Paisley Rose). I don't love Paisley, but I can see it's appeal

Re: middle name for Paisley

Here are my suggestions!

Paisley Aveline
Paisley Ellen
Paisley Faith (a name word, but it doesn't make any sense...)
Paisley Maude
Paisley Wren

Good Luck!

Re: middle name for Paisley

I think that Paisley has a pretty sound, and while it's not my style, and I can understand its appeal. The name Paisley makes me think of Brad Paisley (I'm not a country music fan, but I know who he is) and the paisley pattern. These aren't bad associations, of course, but they're the first things I think of when I hear the name.

Paisley Catherine
Paisley Caroline
Paisley Margaret
Paisley Olivia (popular, though)
Paisley Victoria

Good luck! :-)

Re: middle name for Paisley

Paisley is also not my taste, but if you do use it don't use Jo.

Paisley Jane is cute.

Re: middle name for Paisley
