[name_f]Ada[/name_f] [name_f]Odette[/name_f] and [name_f]Ada[/name_f] [name_f]Naomi[/name_f] are my particular favourites, but I pronounce [name_f]Naomi[/name_f] quite strangely (NEH-mi) so that might be affecting it slightly. [name_f]Ada[/name_f] [name_f]October[/name_f] is also very sweet! ([name_f]May[/name_f] I ask what the significance of Pistachio is? I love the sound of it, and think it’s adorable! I’m sorry if it’s too personal a question, I’m just curious, so please feel free not to answer if you don’t want to) Good luck!

PS. I absolutely love [name_m]Ivan[/name_m] [name_m]Eli[/name_m] as a combination.

Pistachio is just a mock surname. It sounds a lot like SO’s last name, but not too much. Like [name_m]Marshall[/name_m] and [name_m]Mitchell[/name_m], you get the important sounds, but they’re slightly different. I kinda think that the last name changes the sound so I include it. Thank you so much!

Oh, sorry, I got the wrong end of the stick there! I’m stubbornly standing by Pistachio as a sweet nickname though… :slight_smile:

I voted for [name_f]Ada[/name_f] [name_f]Naomi[/name_f] but [name_f]Ada[/name_f] [name_f]Pomeline[/name_f] is a close second. The only one I really don’t like is [name_f]Ada[/name_f] [name_f]Lux[/name_f] because, while I like the name [name_f]Lux[/name_f], the two together sound like a deluxe.

[name_f]Ada[/name_f] [name_f]Pomeline[/name_f] and [name_f]Ada[/name_f] [name_f]Naomi[/name_f] stand out on your poll. The rest of the mn’s are either too short ([name_f]Lux[/name_f]), too strange ([name_f]Zuzu[/name_f]) or end the same way ([name_f]Rowena[/name_f]).

ciottolo - It would be a cute nickname!

averelladavina - I didn’t even notice that [name_f]Ada[/name_f] [name_f]Lux[/name_f] sounds like deluxe. Thank you got pointing that out.

mischa - I was hoping that [name_f]Ada[/name_f] [name_f]Rowena[/name_f] didn’t sound too strange, even with the same ending. Thank you for your input!

I really like [name_f]Ada[/name_f] [name_f]Naomi[/name_f] and [name_f]Ada[/name_f] [name_f]Rowena[/name_f]. [name_f]Ada[/name_f] and [name_f]Rowena[/name_f] don’t have overlapping sounds, so I don’t think it matters that they both end in -a.

Agreed. I prefer [name_f]Naomi[/name_f] but [name_f]Rowena[/name_f] is my second choice.

southern.maple and elo - Thank you both! That’s kind of what we were thinking.

I like [name_f]Ada[/name_f] [name_f]Pomeline[/name_f] ([name_f]Pomeline[/name_f] might be a bit close your LN but I think it’s fine, this is my LN-not-considered favorite), [name_f]Ada[/name_f] [name_f]October[/name_f], and [name_f]Ada[/name_f] [name_f]Rowena[/name_f] (my favorite with your LN.)

[name_f]Ada[/name_f] [name_f]Lux[/name_f] - Too short. Sounds like “a deluxe…”
[name_f]Ada[/name_f] [name_f]Naomi[/name_f] - This is good.
[name_f]Ada[/name_f] [name_f]October[/name_f] - Too unusual.
[name_f]Ada[/name_f] [name_f]Odette[/name_f] - This is my favourite.
[name_f]Ada[/name_f] [name_f]Pomeline[/name_f] - This is good.
[name_f]Ada[/name_f] [name_f]Rosie[/name_f] - Too short and nicknamey.
[name_f]Ada[/name_f] [name_f]Rowena[/name_f] - Same ending sound.
[name_f]Ada[/name_f] [name_f]Zuzu[/name_f] - Too short. Sounds weird.

Personally, I think [name_f]Odette[/name_f] is the only middle that really complements [name_f]Ada[/name_f]. Anything too odd or unusual (i.e. [name_f]Zuzu[/name_f]) will detract from the beauty of [name_f]Ada[/name_f]. Your best runners up are [name_f]Naomi[/name_f] and [name_f]Pomeline[/name_f]. Are you looking for other suggestions? And can I ask about this inspiration behind the nickname Pistachio? What’s going to be short for that? Stash? Pit? It’s cute, but it’s four syllables and her given name is only two.

My went to [name_f]Ada[/name_f] [name_f]Lux[/name_f] and [name_f]Ada[/name_f] [name_f]Pomeline[/name_f]! [name_f]Ada[/name_f] [name_f]Lux[/name_f] because I think that goes perfect with your sons name and [name_f]Ada[/name_f] [name_f]Pomeline[/name_f] because of the utter sweetness.

but [name_f]Rowena[/name_f] is prettier.
