Declan Andrew?

General Name Discussion

[name]How[/name] do you feel about [name]Declan[/name] [name]Andrew[/name]?
My husband’s middle name is [name]Andrew[/name], as is his father’s. It would be nice to pass it on to our son.
However, I’m not sold on the two “an’s” in a row.
Does it sound like “[name]Decla[/name]-nan-drew”?
Or is it as pretty as I think it is in my head? :slight_smile:

Also options:
[name]Declan[/name] [name]Michael[/name]
[name]Declan[/name] [name]Everett[/name] (my father)
[name]Declan[/name] [name]Kenneth[/name] ([name]Kendrick[/name]?)
[name]Declan[/name] [name]William[/name]
[name]Declan[/name] [name]Matthew[/name]

Thanks, dolls!

[name]Declan[/name] [name]Andrew[/name] is very nice. It does run together a bit, but I don’t think that’s something to worry about. Middle names are used very rarely, so it probably won’t be an issue, and since it has meaning for you and your husband I would definitely go for it! My second favorite is [name]Declan[/name] [name]Everett[/name]. [name]Hope[/name] that helps!

I like it and the ‘an’ repeat is not noticeable.

I was going to name my second child [name]Grant[/name] [name]Andrew[/name] but I had a daughter, so feel free to use it!

I really like [name]Declan[/name] [name]Andrew[/name]! The “an” repeat is not bothersome, as the “an” at the end of [name]Declan[/name] sounds like “en” when I say it outloud.

Same here, so the two names don’t really run into each other for me… [name]Declan[/name] [name]Everett[/name] is also very handsome! :slight_smile:
