You’ve already done the hardest part, picking out the perfect first name for your baby to be, but finding a good middle name can feel like a drag when none of them really sound right for you and your baby.
Here is a list of 40 different name combinations that sound perfect with the first name of choice, Hadley.
Hadley Adele
This name is bold and moody, which is perfect for a winter baby. Adele is a name of German origin and means “nobility,” which is perfect for a little Princess to be!

I think the classic spelling of this name (with a ‘C’ rather than a ‘K’) makes it even more stylish.
