Is it one or the other?

[name_m]Hi[/name_m] guys. I have a question about a combo that I am trying to fix for a while now. [name_f]Aubree[/name_f] Navayah has been solid for 2+ years and finally I’ve put grown Navayah/ neveah. I came to [name_f]Aubree[/name_f] vivian or [name_f]Aubree[/name_f] louise. If I go with the second option that brings me to my next issue. Can I use louise as a middle name and still use [name_u]Eloise[/name_u] as sibling name? What do you think? Too close? Can I have both or just one?

I’d say not both, they’re too similar even if one is a middle and one is a first. Besides that, I prefer [name_f]Aubree[/name_f] [name_u]Vivian[/name_u] anyway. It’s the syllables I think, the 2-3 rhythm sounds better to my ears the the 2-2. But of course it’s your call in the end and I’m sure it’s doable if that would be what you set your heart on

Ha. I had the same issue. [name_f]Louise[/name_f] is my oldest’s middle and we LOVED both [name_f]Louise[/name_f] and especially [name_u]Eloise[/name_u] for her baby sis. We decided if we used [name_f]Louise[/name_f], we’d have to just flip the names (she’d be [name_f]Louise[/name_f] G___) or we’d change my oldest’s middle name. In the end, we moved on and I suggested [name_u]Eloise[/name_u] to a good friend, so now I’m tickled to have an [name_u]Eloise[/name_u] in my life.

Back to the middle name question. I prefer [name_u]Vivian[/name_u] or [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f], especially if you’ll use [name_m]French[/name_m] [name_u]Eloise[/name_u] on her sister. I agree about the 2-3 being better than the 2-2 also. I’m so glad you moved on from Navaya, [name_f]Nevaeh[/name_f]!

They’re too similar-- if you like the name enough to want to use it as a first, use it as a first and not the middle!
