Using [name_u]James[/name_u] [name_u]Stanley[/name_u]?
[name_u]James[/name_u] is the only name we can agree on & [name_u]Stanley[/name_u] is a long running family name.
I’m just concerned with [name_u]James[/name_u] ending in S and then into [name_u]Stanley[/name_u] it might run together? Or with the strong St sound will we be ok?
[name_u]James[/name_u] [name_u]Stanley[/name_u] is fine, especially as our middle name is seldom said in real life. [name_u]James[/name_u] (last name) is much more important.
[name_u]James[/name_u] [name_u]Stanley[/name_u] is very handsome and I think (as the “s” in [name_u]James[/name_u] is more like a “z” sound, and the “s” in [name_u]Stanley[/name_u] is so soft) that they barely run together if at all.
I agree it doesn’t run together for me. [name_m]Even[/name_m] on the rare occasions both names are said aloud, they are recognizable names — I don’t think anyone would misunderstand his middle name as “Tanley”.
