We really like the name [name_u]Sawyer[/name_u] and want to name our second child this, BUT our last name is [name_m]Saunders[/name_m]. I think it might be too much, with the S’s and -er’s. [name_f]Do[/name_f] you think it could work anyway? (Also, I know a lot of people don’t like the name [name_u]Sawyer[/name_u] to begin with, but that’s not what I’m asking) thanks!
I think a good middle name can solve this problem, I don’t have any names in my head right now but I would suggest masculine traditional names.
Unfortunately I do think it has too much ‘s’ sound. I hate that problem! My last name also starts with an ‘s’. [name_u]Sawyer[/name_u] is way cute though. Maybe you could look for another name like it? I listed some below but am now realizing it may be more difficult since your last name ends in ‘ers’. Might be best to avoid ‘s’ names and names ending in ‘er’.

I agree that there’s too much S and other similar sounds in [name_u]Sawyer[/name_u] [name_m]Saunders[/name_m]. I think S could work-- [name_m]Samuel[/name_m] [name_m]Saunders[/name_m], for instance. I’d stay away from the -er ending in the first name though. Some other possibilities:
[name_m]Andrew[/name_m]
