My husband and I have a firm list of favorite names for our baby (unknown gender), but I don’t think any of them sound great / roll smoothly of the tongue with my husband’s surname, [name_m]Scott[/name_m].
I’m looking for opinions on whether the following names “fit” with that surname, or suggestions of similar first names that would go together.
[ul]
[/ul]
This is my first baby, so perhaps you can tell I have a bit too much anxiety about the responsibility of naming a new human being!
I’ve put our list of boys names in the “Boy [name_u]Baby[/name_u] Names” forum, so please have a look there and cast your opinion / suggestions.
I think [name_f]Eva[/name_f] and [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] sound fine with your surname. [name_f]Saskia[/name_f], Anouska and [name_f]Bijou[/name_f], are ok, not the best flow, but not the worst. My favorite from your favorites is [name_f]Eva[/name_f].
Wow, I feel like the style of these names is a lot different from your boy name list! Again, I think 2 S names is going to sound sort of hissy, so I wouldn’t go with [name_f]Saskia[/name_f]. [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] is rather charming to me. [name_f]Eva[/name_f] is a lovely classic, of course. I’m also kind of fond of [name_f]Bijou[/name_f], but I don’t know how I’d feel about it on a real child.
[name_f]Eva[/name_f] works beautifully, and it’s my favorite of your choices.
[name_f]Saskia[/name_f] [name_m]Scott[/name_m] is a lot of S. It’s easy enough to say, though I’m not trying to say it too quickly. Anouska [name_m]Scott[/name_m] has two ska/sco sounds right next to each other–that becomes a tongue twister.
With your surname, my favorites from your list are [name_f]Eva[/name_f] and [name_f]Daisy[/name_f]. [name_f]Eva[/name_f] [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] [name_m]Scott[/name_m] is lovely.
However, with such a short surname, you also have the luxury of going with a longer name (and you could always use a nickname)
I think [name_f]Eva[/name_f] [name_m]Scott[/name_m] is brilliant! So feminine and strong and beautiful. I would love to meet a little [name_f]Eva[/name_f]; I adore the name. The others are all okay, but none sounded as good as [name_f]Eva[/name_f] [name_m]Scott[/name_m] to me.
I think [name_f]Eva[/name_f] is the winner. [name_m]Even[/name_m] better in terms of flow and sounding just a little better… [name_f]Ava[/name_f]. [name_f]Ava[/name_f] [name_m]Scott[/name_m] sounds glamorous yet strong.
[name_f]Eva[/name_f] sound great with [name_m]Scott[/name_m], as does [name_f]Daisy[/name_f]. I love the name [name_f]Saskia[/name_f] and whilst I’m usually a fan of alliteration in names I think [name_f]Saskia[/name_f] [name_m]Scott[/name_m] is too many S’s.
