I don’t think [name_f]Sarah[/name_f] sounds as good but it would have a very, very special meaning for me as it’s my mom’s name and she passed away several years ago so I’m drawn to using that name. I love how [name_f]Faye[/name_f] sounds with it but not sure if I will be able to convince my husband…he prefers [name_f]Johanna[/name_f], which is a family name on his side. What do you think? Any suggestions?
Either [name_f]Madeleine[/name_f] [name_f]Johanna[/name_f] or [name_f]Madeleine[/name_f] [name_f]Faye[/name_f]. I think that they flow well together, unlike [name_f]Madeleine[/name_f] [name_f]Sarah[/name_f], which sounds a little bit clunky to me. If I had to choose I would choose [name_f]Faye[/name_f], though.
[name_f]Madeleine[/name_f] is gorgeous. I prefer [name_f]Madeleine[/name_f] [name_f]Sarah[/name_f] for you. Honoring family comes before flow. [name_f]Sarah[/name_f] has very special meaning for you. You would not want to choose not to use it because of flow and then regret it for decades to come.
I love the name [name_f]Madeleine[/name_f]. If I have another child and it is a girl I’ve already decided to use [name_f]Madeleine[/name_f] [name_f]Kate[/name_f]. I agree with the previous poster about using [name_f]Sarah[/name_f]. It is uncertain that you will have another child and if so it may not be a girl. So while you have the opportunity I would use [name_f]Sarah[/name_f] as a fn or mn. I think [name_f]Sarah[/name_f] [name_f]Madeleine[/name_f] is gorgeous and if your husband insist maybe you can use a double middle name or a derivative of [name_f]Johanna[/name_f] such as [name_f]Johnna[/name_f] or [name_f]Joanna[/name_f].

I think [name_f]Johanna[/name_f] and [name_f]Faye[/name_f] pair extremely well with [name_f]Madeleine[/name_f]! I agree, though–would you regret NOT using [name_f]Sarah[/name_f]? I get quite nostalgic with [name_f]Madeleine[/name_f] [name_f]Sarah[/name_f] as a combo, anyhow, as I had a character with the name several years ago. [name_f]Sarah[/name_f] [name_f]Madeleine[/name_f] may sound better, but [name_f]Madeleine[/name_f] [name_f]Sarah[/name_f] is lovely. If it means a lot to you, which I assume it does, I would go for it. I think something like [name_f]Madeleine[/name_f] [name_f]Sarah[/name_f] [name_f]Faye[/name_f] or [name_f]Madeleine[/name_f] [name_f]Sarah[/name_f] [name_f]Johanna[/name_f] would be lovely as well.
Thank you! I think you are right; the meaning means more than the flow! I don’t mind the name [name_f]Sarah[/name_f] as a fn in general but I’m not sure about calling my daughter my mom’s name, if you know what I mean. Also thank you for the suggestion to use 2 mn…I will def. be talking to my husband about that!
