First name / last name mismatch?

One name my DH and I both love is [name_u]Sam[/name_u], but is it bad with our last name?

[name_u]Sam[/name_u] [name_f]Summers[/name_f]?

[name_m]Say[/name_m] it out loud and give me your honest opinions.

[name_u]Sam[/name_u] would be joining [name_f]Jane[/name_f] and [name_m]Henry[/name_m].

I have a soft spot for alliterative names, so :slight_smile: I like it a lot. What would the middle name be?

Thank you @Pterodactyl :slight_smile: that is a great question! I’d have to think of some…

[name_m]Samuel[/name_m] [name_u]Everett[/name_u]
[name_m]Samuel[/name_m] [name_m]John[/name_m]

Both of those options honor either my dad or my father in law.

What would you pair [name_m]Samuel[/name_m] with?

[name_u]Love[/name_u] it! [name_m]Samuel[/name_m] [name_m]John[/name_m] is fantastic!

Thank you boyandgirl :slight_smile:

I love it. The alliteration is fine. doesnt work with all names but it does with yours!! yay. go for it.

I think it works well together, it’s adorable in fact. I would say it definitely works, and it sounds lovely with your other children’s names.

I like it!

I like alliteration on a case by case basis and in this case I think it works! The vowel sounds are different enough that it doesn’t sound like a rhyme (ex: I probably wouldn’t do [name_u]Sam[/name_u] [name_m]Sanders[/name_m]). And neither name causes you to mispronounce the other one.

[name_u]Sam[/name_u] is a great choice to join the already beautifully named [name_f]Jane[/name_f] and [name_m]Henry[/name_m]! Good luck!

Thank you all!! :slight_smile:

I agree, it works. Of course it is a lot of S (&m). Something like [name_m]Nate[/name_m] [name_f]Summers[/name_f] or [name_m]Ned[/name_m] [name_f]Summers[/name_f] would be cute too.

I think it sounds great :slight_smile: Your other children have really lovely names too - [name_u]Sam[/name_u] works well with them.

I also like alliterative names so I don’t think [name_m]Samuel[/name_m] ([name_u]Sam[/name_u]) [name_f]Summers[/name_f] would be a problem at all!

I think alliterative names are really cool! All the characters in those superhero comics and movies seem to have alliterative names - [name_f]Lois[/name_f] [name_u]Lane[/name_u] and [name_m]Peter[/name_m] [name_u]Parker[/name_u] and [name_u]Wade[/name_u] [name_m]Wilson[/name_m] and so on - and [name_u]Sam[/name_u] [name_f]Summers[/name_f] sounds like it could be a superhero name, which any kid would love!

[name_m]Samuel[/name_m] [name_f]Summers[/name_f] is handsome and fun. I have a soft spot for alliteration names. [name_m]Peter[/name_m] [name_u]Parker[/name_u] is one of my favorites.

I can’t tell you how much I appreciate your feedback.

My DH and I were out to dinner last night and I said “What about [name_u]Sam[/name_u]? That’s not too much with [name_f]Summers[/name_f], right?”

It was as close to an AHA moment as I’ll ever have on a name :). At this point I’m pretty set on it; I called the baby [name_u]Sam[/name_u] today when talking to my Mom.

We will know in [name_u]August[/name_u] if we’re having a [name_u]Sam[/name_u] or a [name_f]Georgia[/name_f] :slight_smile:
