We love the name [name_f]Harlow[/name_f], but [name_f]Harlow[/name_f] [name_m]Herman[/name_m]? We can’t decide if we love it or hate it. [name_m]Herman[/name_m] is kind of a tough last name. 
We have two middle names to satisfy both sides of the family.
[name_f]Harlow[/name_f] [name_f]Stella[/name_f] [name_u]Blake[/name_u] [name_m]Herman[/name_m] or
[name_f]Stella[/name_f] [name_f]Harlow[/name_f] [name_u]Blake[/name_u] [name_m]Herman[/name_m]
Thoughts?
I love alliteration, I’ve said it time and again on this site. I think it makes a person more memorable and there are many, many celebrities with alliterative names. [name_f]Harlow[/name_f] [name_m]Herman[/name_m] sounds great to my ears.
[name_f]Harlow[/name_f] [name_m]Herman[/name_m] sounds like a grouchy old man to me. I would choose something very feminine - like [name_f]Stella[/name_f] - for her first name and keep the unisex names in the middle. [name_f]Stella[/name_f] [name_f]Harlow[/name_f] [name_u]Blake[/name_u] for me.
I prefer [name_f]Stella[/name_f] [name_m]Herman[/name_m]. [name_m]Herman[/name_m] is such a old-fashion boys name that I think the first name should be more feminine than [name_f]Harlow[/name_f]. Whether or not alliteration is ok depends entirely on the names. Sorry to say but I find [name_f]Harlow[/name_f] [name_m]Herman[/name_m] kind of cartoonish and having said the combo out loud a couple of times it turned into “hallo herman”.
I love alliteration, but not this time. [name_f]Stella[/name_f] [name_m]Herman[/name_m] works so much better to my ear.
[name_f]Harlow[/name_f] [name_m]Herman[/name_m] is just too much. It’s not just the alliteration, it’s the H-vowel-R, plus both are two syllables with the emphasis on the first.
What about [name_u]Marlowe[/name_u]/[name_f]Marlo[/name_f]? Or [name_f]Stella[/name_f] [name_m]Herman[/name_m] is great, with whatever middles you like.
It would work better as a middle name. Alliteration is ok, as long as it’s not the first letter of each relatively short name. I know this from personal experience…it’s not fun to have a name that makes me sound like a cartoon character.
I also love alliteration, but not in this case. [name_f]Harlow[/name_f] [name_m]Herman[/name_m] does, indeed, sound like an old man from a silent movie.
I’d go for [name_f]Stella[/name_f] [name_m]Herman[/name_m].
I agree with the lovely ladies before me: alliteration is nice, but not in this instance. [name_f]Stella[/name_f] [name_m]Herman[/name_m] would be a better alternative.
I agree. I like alliteration in cases like [name_f]Kate[/name_f] [name_u]Campbell[/name_u] or [name_f]Juliette[/name_f] [name_m]Jones[/name_m], but the Har- Her- of [name_f]Harlow[/name_f] [name_m]Herman[/name_m] along with the fact that they’re both two syllables makes this combo sound more awkward than interesting. I love [name_f]Stella[/name_f] [name_m]Herman[/name_m], and I’d like to second the suggestion of [name_f]Marlo/name_f
Thank you, ladies! I completely agree, especially with the old man comment. I think we’ve decided on [name_f]Stella[/name_f] [name_f]Juliette[/name_f] [name_f]Marie[/name_f].
I really love [name_f]Harlow[/name_f] like fn, and [name_f]Harlow[/name_f] [name_f]Stella[/name_f] [name_m]Herman[/name_m] is just perfect.
I like and I think is nice.
[name_f]Harlow[/name_f] [name_f]Stella[/name_f] [name_m]Herman[/name_m]
