I’m pregnant with my second child. We don’t yet know the sex, but I am of course already creating short lists. My first child is Cora and some of the names we are considering for this new potential daughter are:
Frances
Olive
Sylvia
Poppy
At the moment my top contender is Olive and my husband’s is Poppy. One name that we both keep coming back to is Hazel. We love it, but our surname starts with the same Hay-sound. So her name would be something like Hay-zel Hay-mon. We find a middle name does break up the sound repetition, but most of the time she would go by just her first and last. Does this combination sound too cartoonish?
I think [name_u]Hazel[/name_u] and your surname sounds really good together. [name_f]My[/name_f] eldest son has a bit of a rhyming fn/surname combo. He is Z@chary [name_u]Mackenzie[/name_u].
I do loooove the name [name_f]Olive[/name_f] with [name_f]Cora[/name_f] and [name_f]Sylvia[/name_f]! though
Hmm usually I like alliterative names but I think the repetitive ‘Hay’ sound might be too much. Something like [name_u]Hazel[/name_u] [name_m]Harrison[/name_m] would be fine though. It depends how strong the hay sound is in your last name.
[name_f]Olive[/name_f] and [name_f]Poppy[/name_f] are great options! [name_f]Olive[/name_f] [name_f]Frances[/name_f] or [name_f]Poppy[/name_f] [name_f]Frances[/name_f]!
Firstly you have a lovely shortlist with you/your OH top contenders sound lovely with [name_f]Cora[/name_f]. [name_f]Poppy[/name_f] & [name_f]Cora[/name_f] are gorgeous together and I also have a real soft spot for [name_f]Cora[/name_f] & [name_f]Olive[/name_f]
In relation too [name_u]Hazel[/name_u] I think she works with your surname and doesn’t sound cartoonish at all. I actually think [name_u]Hazel[/name_u] and your surname sound very attractive with an awesome storybook vibe that I think is really endearing. I’m a massive fan of [name_u]Hazel[/name_u] and I think she sounds stunning with [name_f]Cora[/name_f].
