First + middle name ending in S

I have my third GIRL on the way!! We thought for sure it was a boy but are so thrilled to be welcoming a third sister. All three girls will be one year apart, too :face_holding_back_tears::smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

Her name will be Frances, already decided. Itā€™s been on our list the last three years with each baby and we love it. Franny will be the sweetest addition to big sisters Leni and Ru.

I love the name Mars for a girl and initially beside Frances I thought this was such a fun combo. It just kind of occurred to me that both end in Sā€¦. What are your thoughts? Does it work or too much a mouthful? I can definitely see us saying ā€œFranny Mars!ā€ But want it to have the same ideal fit with her actual first name.

The girls all have pretty unique names and they donā€™t all necessarily go together in a mainstream way, which I like. Especially Ru, whoā€™s name came to be organically and unexpectedly, but now is totally perfect for her and us.

Our last name is pronounced Ry-back. All together, with middle names, they would be:
Leni Bloom
Ru Ines
Frances Mars

I love [name_f]Frances[/name_f] [name_m]Mars[/name_m]! I pronounce [name_f]Frances[/name_f] more like [name_m]Francis[/name_m], so the names donā€™t really sounds like they have the same ending. It matches [name_f]Leni[/name_f] and Ru too. Overall, I think the names work perfectly together.

hope this helps!

Congratulations on your girl #3 :tada::tada:

[name_f]Frances[/name_f] is beautiful! Such a lovely classic choice and definitely should be used as sheā€™s always been on your list. I think this is your time to use the ever so sweet [name_f]Frances[/name_f] even though I wouldnā€™t automatically put her in your sibling set I love the eclectic feel of your sibling set. For me [name_f]Frances[/name_f] [name_m]Mars[/name_m] is a little trippy on the tongue however I do not think this is the end of the world. The reality is as parents you hardly ever use your childā€™s middle name and when youā€™re planning to say [name_m]Mars[/name_m] itā€™s with [name_f]Franny[/name_f] which avoids the repeated sounds so is a non issue. I say go for it.

[name_f]Hope[/name_f] this helps :ringer_planet:

[name_f]Frances[/name_f] [name_m]Mars[/name_m] sounds good to me :slight_smile: It might help that I say the ā€˜sā€™ sounds slightly differently (the [name_f]Frances[/name_f] ā€˜sā€™ is definitely softer to me)

I think [name_f]Frances[/name_f] [name_f]Maris[/name_f] would be pretty together.

[name_f]Frances[/name_f] [name_m]Mars[/name_m] is an awesome choice, congrats!

I think that having two names that end in s is okay because they donā€™t rhyme and have different numbers of syllables.

[name_m]Lars[/name_m] [name_m]Mars[/name_m] - bad idea.
[name_f]Frances[/name_f] [name_m]Mars[/name_m] - just fine!

Congratulations on your third little girl!
[name_m]Welcome[/name_m] back to Nameberry. I hope everything is going well with your pregnancy.

Iā€™m so happy that you settled with [name_f]Frances[/name_f]! I know it is an old favorite of yours and it sounds beautiful with your girlsā€™ names.
[name_f]Frances[/name_f] [name_m]Mars[/name_m] has a nice flow in my opinion. The same letter in the end is not a big deal. I also would like to emphasize that [name_f]Franny[/name_f] [name_m]Mars[/name_m] sounds absolutely adorable! [name_m]Mars[/name_m] is a very unique and powerful middle name. I really adore your choice.

[name_f]Frances[/name_f] [name_m]Mars[/name_m] may be the perfect name for your new addition!

I love Frances/Franny with your girlsā€™ names, and Iā€™m so glad youā€™re using it. Not loving [name_f]Frances[/name_f] [name_m]Mars[/name_m]. The flow gets really jumbled up in my mouth and comes out sounding like Iā€™m saying something about sā€™mores.

[name_f]Franny[/name_f] [name_m]Mars[/name_m] is cute and doesnā€™t have that issue. You could cut straight to [name_f]Franny[/name_f] and not use [name_f]Frances[/name_f] (though that would be sad, because [name_f]Frances[/name_f] is lovely), or maybe think of a [name_f]Mar[/name_f]- name you like and make [name_m]Mars[/name_m] a nickname for the middleā€¦? [name_f]My[/name_f] first thought was [name_f]Margot[/name_f], but that might be too traditional for you.

Thanks for this!

We are still considering naming her just [name_f]Franny[/name_f], as we think it fits with the other girls names really well and love it a lot, but tbd. Not sure we are ready to let go of [name_f]Frances[/name_f] in the end.

Itā€™s not so much the ā€œMarā€ sound I love as it is [name_m]Mars[/name_m] specifically, for the name and uniqueness and overall vibe. But I hear your opinion and appreciate the share :slight_smile:

[name_f]Frances[/name_f] nn [name_f]Franny[/name_f] is SO darling and I love it!
[name_f]Love[/name_f] [name_f]Franny[/name_f] [name_m]Mars[/name_m]. Cute, spunky and unique!
[name_f]Frances[/name_f] [name_m]Mars[/name_m] is a bit more of a mouthful but if you will be mostly calling her [name_f]Franny[/name_f] I think its really no big deal. [name_f]My[/name_f] daughter is E.vangeline F.ay and we call her E.vie F.ay all the time but very rarely say E.vangeline F.ay.
Best wishes!!
