My husband and I are trying to nail down our second sons name that is due in a month. Our older son is named [name_m]Cohen[/name_m]. The current name that is our top pick for number 2 is [name_m]Penn[/name_m]. I think I am stuck on the fact that they both end in en. [name_f]Do[/name_f] [name_m]Cohen[/name_m] and [name_m]Penn[/name_m] go together or are they repetitive? What are your thoughts on [name_m]Penn[/name_m]. [name_f]Do[/name_f] you think it’s a strong name on its own? Does it just make you think of Pennsylvania, ha ha? I am open to hearing all opinions.
I’m a little desperate for feedback. Anyone have an opinion about these names together.
I like the names separately and together. My one concern (and I might be totally alone in this) is that two surnames together sound like the name of a law firm to me. But only slightly.
I like both names! I’m trying to name my third and I find that it helps if I try saying them all out loud together…like “[name_m]Cohen[/name_m], where is [name_m]Penn[/name_m]?” ha, sorry kind of weird but try to use in everyday convo and see if it sounds too similar! Personally I don’t think they are too similar to not use if [name_m]Penn[/name_m] is your favorite name!
My Dad really dislikes surnames as first names. He has actually joked about their names sounding like a moving company or law firm. Thanks for your feedback though. I appreciate the input to consider.
