Baby Coming June 30th. Name chosen. Be honest with your opinion

We’ve had the first name locked in at 99.9% for a while, but have two in the hopper just in case. The middle name is a soft yes (wife likes it, I’m indifferent to MN in general). Thoughts - HONEST THOUGHTS PLZ - appreciated.

Name: [name_f]Daphne[/name_f] [name_u]Laine[/name_u] Krueger

Names in the hopper just in case: [name_f]Florence[/name_f] and [name_f]Estelle[/name_f]

I do like [name_f]Daphne[/name_f] [name_u]Laine[/name_u], but saying it out loud makes me think of it as one combo name of [name_f]Daphne[/name_f] and [name_f]Elaine[/name_f]. My vote goes for [name_f]Daphne[/name_f] [name_f]Florence[/name_f] Krueger!

I love the name! It has nice flow! It’s unique, classy, and will grow with her. Great choice!

[name_f]Daphne[/name_f] [name_u]Laine[/name_u] is lovely!!

[name_f]Daphne[/name_f] [name_u]Laine[/name_u] is really lovely! It hits my personal sweet spot of being familiar and having a history while still feeling unexpected and underused. And I love names with a literary connection.

I love [name_f]Daphne[/name_f]. I’m not a big fan of [name_u]Laine[/name_u], but it works well.

What a lovely choice! It’s unusual but familiar, and it flows beautifully!

I think it’s fine, but it makes me think of [name_f]Diane[/name_f] [name_u]Lane[/name_u] and [name_f]Diane[/name_f] Kruger, so I slightly prefer [name_f]Daphne[/name_f] [name_f]Elena[/name_f] or [name_f]Daphne[/name_f] [name_f]Estelle[/name_f].

I think it’s a nice name. I like [name_f]Daphne[/name_f].

Such a good name!

[name_u]Love[/name_u] it! I love [name_f]Florence[/name_f] and [name_f]Estelle[/name_f] too though. You and your wife have great taste.

I love the name [name_f]Daphne[/name_f]!!! I love to see people using the name! That is a top contender between my husband and I if we ever have a daughter!

I think [name_f]Daphne[/name_f] [name_u]Laine[/name_u] is pretty enough, but I think, when spoken out loud, it sounds like [name_f]Daphne[/name_f] [name_f]Elaine[/name_f]. Are there any women/places/events in your life you’d maybe want to honor with her middle name? [name_f]Daphne[/name_f] is such a firecracker name that I feel like [name_u]Laine[/name_u] kind of…I don’t know. Muddles it a bit. Brings it down.

[name_f]Daphne[/name_f] [name_u]Laine[/name_u] is lovely - But how about just spelling it [name_u]Lane[/name_u]? No need to make spelling more complicated than necessary. I think [name_f]Daphne[/name_f] [name_f]Florence[/name_f] is even lovelier, but you should go with your gut! All the best.

[name_u]Love[/name_u] [name_f]Daphne[/name_f]! [name_u]Laine[/name_u] is blah to me but not terrible and it works well enough together.

[name_u]Love[/name_u] [name_f]Daphne[/name_f] [name_u]Laine[/name_u]! I’m not usually a fan of [name_u]Laine[/name_u], but it’s very nice here. I like that you picked a soft first name to balance out the hard consonants of Krueger.

I think [name_f]Daphne[/name_f] [name_u]Laine[/name_u] is really cute!

Beautiful name with beautiful flow!!

If you happen to ditch it last second, although I prefer [name_f]Estelle[/name_f] to [name_f]Florence[/name_f], I think [name_f]Florence[/name_f] [name_u]Laine[/name_u] flows better than [name_f]Estelle[/name_f] [name_u]Laine[/name_u]. In the second one, there are too many L sounds.

[name_f]Daphne[/name_f] is gorgeous! I really like the suggestion of [name_f]Daphne[/name_f] [name_f]Florence[/name_f]…

I like [name_f]Daphne[/name_f] :slight_smile:
Is [name_u]Laine[/name_u] pronounced like lane, or like lane-ey ? (I prefer the lane pronunciation)

And congrats on your upcoming baby!

I like it! I think [name_u]Laine[/name_u] looks a little odd, though–[name_u]Lane[/name_u] or [name_u]Layne[/name_u] are my preferred spellings, but since it’s a middle it’s not a big deal.
