Richie would be super cute. What was his middle name?

Char. Ricarda. Rich. Carda.

Knew a lady whose name was Ernest Franklin. She had a sister named William Charles. Go with Richard.

Rishedcee/Richardski/Richardlyn/Richardae/Richardlee

Richelle it’s my one daughter’s middle name

Richenda and Ricarda… :slight_smile: These are the feminine names for Richard, Thus you can get Rikki, Rikkie, Ricki, and Rickie… Also Risha is a short name for Rishenda (It is my sister in law)

Maybe use Richard as a middle name.

My friend had done this also… named her daughter Richelle.

Ricarda and Richenda

Richardson means “Son of Richard”!

I like Ricki or initials

Darchi? Richard backwards without the R

Also came up with Daria but took out some letters.

I would look up the name Richard in other countries. I have a friend who had three daughters. The first ones name was Grace and the other two had different names but the meaning of their name was Grace in a different country😊.

Ricarda, Rikki, Richenda, Richardine, Richara

Richarda, Richilde,Ricarda, Richelle

Rikki… my dad’s name was Richard.

Richarla… Ricarla… Rickayla.Rickyla

A little out there but how about Chardonnay? The “chard” from Richard…:blush:

My grandfather was Ravan Doyle. My daughters middle name is Ravan. If you can’t come up with a first name you love using Richard, then use Richard as her middle name. My daughter loves to tell people where her name came from & she’s 22 now.

That’s a tough one. I’m seing basically the same suggestions which to me aren’t particularly appealing. Unless you can think of your own unique version, maybe try a version of his middle name instead. Good luck.

Rikki, Rikkie, Ricki, and Rickie (and any other spelling with the same sound) are the only feminine forms of Richard I know. If you don’t mind going a little off, Ricarda and Richenda are the only other two I could find.
