Hello berries,

I think we’re pretty much decided on a FN, [name]Greta[/name], however we still need help with a MN. I’d like to use a MN with meaning or family significance. So, I was hoping you all could help me decide. Here is our list:

[name]Greta[/name] [name]Susanne[/name] - My mom’s name is [name]Susan[/name] and DH’s is [name]Suzanne[/name], so we thought the name [name]Susanne[/name] would honor both. What do you all think? Does is flow? I don’t think I’d really consider the name if it weren’t for our mothers, but it’s growing on me.

[name]Greta[/name] [name]Emily[/name] - [name]Emily[/name] is my sister’s FN

[name]Greta[/name] [name]Kate[/name] - [name]Kate[/name] is my sister’s MN

[name]Greta[/name] [name]Joy[/name] - [name]Joy[/name] for the obvious reference

Thanks!

I like both [name]Greta[/name] [name]Susanne[/name] and [name]Greta[/name] [name]Joy[/name], however if you are worried about flow issues I don’t think its much of an issue it really depends on your last name (does it have 2 syllables as well) ?

However you can consider using another variant of [name]Susanne[/name], here is some suggestions:

[name]Greta[/name] [name]Susana[/name]
[name]Greta[/name] [name]Sue[/name]
[name]Greta[/name] [name]Suzette[/name]

Or even go [name]Greta[/name] [name]Lily[/name], as [name]Susanne[/name] is a diminutive of [name]Susanna[/name] which means [name]Lily[/name].

I like [name]Greta[/name] [name]Susanne[/name] and [name]Greta[/name] [name]Kate[/name]. I think both of these names flow well.

What’s your first name? I love the mother/daughter connection of mama’s fn as daughter’s mn.

Oh, I love [name]Greta[/name] [name]Susanne[/name]! I think it’s unusual and sweet without being prissy or anything (the others seem pretty standard for middles). I love its rhythm and how it honors both grandmothers! [name]Do[/name] [name]Greta[/name] [name]Susanne[/name]!

I think [name]Greta[/name] [name]Susanne[/name] is lovely.

I’m not a fan of filler middle names like [name]Joy[/name] and [name]Kate[/name], personally. [name]Greta[/name] [name]Emily[/name] doesn’t have the greatest flow.

[name]Greta[/name] [name]Susanne[/name] is your best option [name]IMO[/name]:slight_smile:

[name]Greta[/name] [name]Susanne[/name] gets my vote, although [name]Greta[/name] [name]Susanna[/name] flows slightly better imo.

Thanks for your help and suggestions! Our last name is 3 syllables, begins with a D, and is similar to [name]Peterson[/name] or [name]Harrison[/name]. I actually like the name [name]Susanna[/name] slightly more than [name]Susanne[/name], but wasn’t sure if the -a ending was too much with [name]Greta[/name] in the FN spot. What do you all think?

10

Yes, honestly, I think [name]Greta[/name] [name]Susanna[/name] is a bit much. [name]Greta[/name] [name]Susanne[/name] sounds more suave and clean.

11

Well, I actually think both works just fine. :slight_smile:

13

[name]Greta[/name] [name]Susanne[/name] is so beautiful! Plus honoring the mom’s. It gets my vote!

14

[name]Greta[/name] [name]Susanne[/name] is superb.

15

[name]Greta[/name] [name]Susanne[/name] is my favorite of all the combos mentioned. [name]How[/name] wonderful that you have a family name that is so meaningful and usable!

16

Since its in the middle,I think [name]Greta[/name] [name]Susanna[/name] works, and I too prefer [name]Susanna[/name] to [name]Susanne[/name]. I like that you’re honoring both moms, so I would prob do that, although I love [name]Greta[/name] [name]Emily[/name] and [name]Greta[/name] [name]Kate[/name] too.
