Plese vote on the following names:
[name]Ariana[/name] [name]Claire[/name]
[name]Sedona[/name] [name]Jade[/name]
[name]Selah[/name] [name]Marie[/name]
[name]Eliana[/name] [name]Hope[/name]
My number 1 is [name]Ariana[/name] [name]Claire[/name] and my number 2 is [name]Eliana[/name] [name]Hope[/name].
I should first ask if any of these names have special significance to you? Otherwise-- you’ve paired semi-unusual modern first names with “filler” middles. The middles make the combinations all rather humdrum.
[name]Ariana[/name] [name]Claire[/name]-- I think the best. [name]Ariana[/name] makes me think of [name]Huffington[/name], but unfortunately also the word [name]Aryan[/name].
[name]Sedona[/name] [name]Jade[/name]-- I like [name]Sedona[/name]. It’s a cool, somewhat hippy-ish place in [name]Arizona[/name] and a very striking name. Paired with [name]Jade[/name], however, it becomes boring. [name]Jade[/name] is… not nice. It used to be a word for “a woman of the night.” I think you could do much, much better with the lovely [name]Sedona[/name].
[name]Selah[/name] [name]Marie[/name]-- [name]Selah[/name] is the mysterious word at the end of each of the psalms in the Bible which no one has yet deciphered. It’s a pretty, faintly religious name. But paired with [name]Marie[/name], which is THE filler middle name, again it loses its sparkle.
[name]Eliana[/name] [name]Hope[/name]-- a lacy and frilly name. All vowels and liquid sounds, it’s like a running stream of water. [name]Hope[/name] is a good pairing in terms of sounds (slighter firmer sounds in the form of the P, and the H), but again I don’t get the feeling that [name]Hope[/name] means anything to you, but rather that you just stuck it there.
I think you like girls’ names ending with the -ah sound. You should select a middle name that has more consonant sounds (like, just as an example, [name]Corinne[/name]. [name]Say[/name] “[name]Eliana[/name] [name]Corinne[/name]” out loud and you’ll see what I mean).
Are there any other names that have meaning for you? We could start playing with them to construct middle names, and name combinations, with more individuality and significance.
I like both [name]Ariana[/name] and [name]Eliana[/name] a lot. We named one of our cats [name]Sedona[/name] when we lived in [name]Arizona[/name], plus isn’t there a car model that is [name]Sedona[/name]? I think if it didn’t have such a strong connection for me, I would like [name]Sedona[/name] more for a child.
1 [name]Selah[/name] [name]Marie[/name]
2 [name]Ariana[/name] [name]Claire[/name]
3 [name]Eliana[/name] [name]Hope[/name]
4 [name]Sedona[/name] [name]Jade[/name]
I like:
[name]Ariana[/name] [name]Claire[/name] and [name]Eliana[/name] [name]Hope[/name]
I like [name]Eliana[/name] [name]Hope[/name] best I think, and then [name]Sedona[/name] [name]Jade[/name] (it’s unique and powerful). I like [name]Ariana[/name] but with claire as a middle name it is not as strong. I also like [name]Selah[/name], but not [name]Marie[/name]
