My husband and I are expecting our second baby this April. We have a boy name picked out but are having a harder time with girl names. The four on our list right now are Emma, Grace, Maren, and Margaret. Our last name starts with an M, so I have a few concerns with how the names will sound together and flow. Do you think Emma M______ has too many M sounds? If you thing it’s ok, do you think using Margaret as a middle name with Emma puts it into the realm of too many M’s? Emma Margaret M_____? Also, our last name ends with an “ee” sound. If we use Margaret as a first, the only nickname my husband likes is Maggie. Do you think Maggie M_____ee sounds silly? I really appreciate any thoughts you all have!!
I think it’s totally okay! Alliterative names are adorable. Margaret M___ sounds so cute to me! And I think Maggie M__ee could also work!! Emma Margaret is also really pretty. Great option.
[name_f]My[/name_f] first name and surname both begin with a “J” and my whole life people have told me how cool it is haha. I think it will be absolutely fine!
I would say Maggie M__ee might be too much if your last name is also 2 syllables. If it’s 1 or 3, I think it would sound just great!
Well, alliteration usually sounds like a super hero name to me, so not negative. But [name_f]Emma[/name_f] [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] would be a lot, And [name_f]Maggie[/name_f] is already cute, so maybe too cutesy with the alliteration. At least that is what I think. I would go [name_f]Grace[/name_f] [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] or [name_f]Emma[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f] out t of your list, which are both fabulous to me, not a compromise really, just very beautiful.
[name_f]Emma[/name_f] and [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] are so classic, I think they sound fine
[name_f]Maggie[/name_f] M__ee is pretty cute actually so long as the middle sounds are quite different to -agg-
It is 2 syllables unfortunately! I just love [name_f]Margaret[/name_f], so I’m reluctant to give it up, but I think I agree with you that it’s a little too much!
Thank you! I do love the [name_f]Grace[/name_f] [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] combo you suggested!
I’ve known a couple [name_f]Emma[/name_f] M’s, and I’ve also known a M@ggie McGe3 (censored for privacy), so it’s been done before!
I think [name_f]Emma[/name_f] [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] M would be great! Also don’t see a problem with [name_f]Maggie[/name_f] M———-ee! All of your choices are lovely.
[name_f]My[/name_f] name is [name_f]Emily[/name_f] [name_u]Marie[/name_u] Mar—, so it’s definitely been done before. You don’t typically say first and middle together very often so it hasn’t really been an issue for me. I personally don’t love it, but my parents did, and I think choosing a name you love is the most important thing.
