I need a name that flows

I need a name for a girl for the last name [name]Del[/name] [name]Mar[/name]

I’m just trying to find something that flows well. [name]Every[/name] name I like just doesn’t sound right :confused:

[name]Del[/name] [name]Mar[/name]…
I like:
[name]Olivia[/name] [name]Del[/name] [name]Mar[/name]?
[name]Juliette[/name] [name]Del[/name] [name]Mar[/name]?
[name]Calliope[/name] [name]Del[/name] [name]Mar[/name]?
[name]Flora[/name] [name]Del[/name] [name]Mar[/name]?
[name]Ines[/name] [name]Del[/name] [name]Mar[/name]?

I really don’t know. Most of my favourites wouldn’t go.

Three-syllable names keep popping into my head, particularly with the first syllable stressed:

[name]Lilian[/name] [name]Del[/name] [name]Mar[/name]
[name]Emmaline[/name] [name]Del[/name] [name]Mar[/name]
[name]Sylvia[/name] [name]Del[/name] [name]Mar[/name]
[name]Danica[/name] [name]Del[/name] [name]Mar[/name]
[name]Rosaline[/name] [name]Del[/name] [name]Mar[/name]
[name]Caroline[/name] [name]Del[/name] [name]Mar[/name]
Elsabet [name]Del[/name] [name]Mar[/name]
[name]Adelaide[/name] [name]Del[/name] [name]Mar[/name]
[name]Addison[/name] [name]Del[/name] [name]Mar[/name]
Milligan [name]Del[/name] [name]Mar[/name]
[name]Miriam[/name] [name]Del[/name] [name]Mar[/name]

What kind of names do you like? I’m not sure I understand why names don’t go with [name]Del[/name] [name]Mar[/name] – because of the flow? Longer and slightly frilly names seem to flow very well with that last name:

[name]Elizabeth[/name] [name]Del[/name] [name]Mar[/name]
[name]Caroline[/name] [name]Del[/name] [name]Mar[/name]
[name]Emilia[/name] [name]Del[/name] [name]Mar[/name]
[name]Julianne[/name] [name]Del[/name] [name]Mar[/name]
[name]Anastasia[/name] [name]Del[/name] [name]Mar[/name]
[name]Virginia[/name] [name]Del[/name] [name]Mar[/name]
[name]Calliope[/name] [name]Del[/name] [name]Mar[/name] (great suggestion octopus9!)
[name]Katerina[/name] [name]Del[/name] [name]Mar[/name]
[name]Hortensia[/name] [name]Del[/name] [name]Mar[/name]
[name]Miranda[/name] [name]Del[/name] [name]Mar[/name] (love the alliteration!)
[name]Milena[/name] [name]Del[/name] [name]Mar[/name] (ditto)
[name]Arabella[/name] [name]Del[/name] [name]Mar[/name]

If you give us an idea of your style, I know folks on here could come up with some that you like that sound good. (Not me, necessarily; I’m not great at that, but there are others on here who have name-encyclopedia brains and are amazing at this sort of thing!)

[name]Just[/name] thought of another one that I think sounds really sweet despite its popularity. What do you think of [name]Emily[/name] [name]Del[/name] [name]Mar[/name]? I think it rolls off the tongue quite nicely.

Thanks!! Most of the names I tried were short, like [name]Eva[/name].
I like names that are sophisticated but not too stuffy.
I always thought French names were very pretty, like [name]Madeline[/name].

7

When you mentioned French names, [name]Amelie[/name] popped into my head. [name]Amelie[/name] [name]Del[/name] [name]Mar[/name] sounds amazing!

8

I really liked the idea of [name]Flora[/name] [name]Del[/name] [name]Mar[/name]. Or maybe [name]Nora[/name] [name]Del[/name] [name]Mar[/name]. Those sounds just go so nicely together. Otherwise I think longer names sound a little better with your last name.

What about [name]Marie[/name] del [name]Mar[/name]? I love the name [name]Marie[/name] but does it go? Maybe I’m just overthinking it.

But please, be honest

[name]Do[/name] you like [name]Maria[/name]? I think [name]Maria[/name] del [name]Mar[/name] flows nicely.

It’s funny because I was thinking probably the only name I could think of that wouldn’t really work is [name]Mary[/name]/[name]Marie[/name]/[name]Maria[/name], but that’s because I thought they also had some etymology to tie them back to the sea. However, upon further research (i.e., looking them up on NB), they have nothing to do with the ocean, so that’s irrelevant. And as it happens, I really like the way the sounds are sort of repeated. I do prefer [name]Maria[/name] del [name]Mar[/name], though. Unless you’re actually in [name]France[/name] and [name]Marie[/name] would be pronounce the French way, then I prefer [name]Marie[/name] del [name]Mar[/name].
