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
Her name will be Frances, already decided. Itās 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 āFranny 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 donāt all necessarily go together in a mainstream way, which I like. Especially Ru, whoās 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 donāt 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.
i think itās great! itās a very fun and unexpected combo and i dont think thereās any problem since she wonāt be going by frances mars all the time. franny mars is so unique!
[name_f]Frances[/name_f] is beautiful! Such a lovely classic choice and definitely should be used as sheās 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 wouldnāt 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 childās middle name and when youāre planning to say [name_m]Mars[/name_m] itās with [name_f]Franny[/name_f] which avoids the repeated sounds so is a non issue. I say go for it.
[name_f]Frances[/name_f] [name_m]Mars[/name_m] sounds good to me It might help that I say the āsā sounds slightly differently (the [name_f]Frances[/name_f] āsā is definitely softer to me)
Congratulations on your third little girl!
[name_m]Welcome[/name_m] back to Nameberry. I hope everything is going well with your pregnancy.
Iām 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 Iām so glad youāre 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 Iām saying something about sāmores.
[name_f]Franny[/name_f] [name_m]Mars[/name_m] is cute and doesnāt 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.
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.
Itās not so much the āMarā 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
[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!!
