We love the name [name_f]Marigold[/name_f], but want to continue a family tradition of using [name_f]Caroline[/name_f] for the middle name.
Are you struck/distracted by the rhyme of:
[name_f]Marigold[/name_f] [name_f]Caroline[/name_f]?
Thank you so much.
No! I actually really love the flow of it. It has an elegance to it 
It’s a little bouncy, and also a bit of a mouthful, but certainly not unusably rhyme-y since [name_f]Caroline[/name_f] has meaning for you.
I really can’t see those names together
I don’t think it is rhyme-y, because in [name_f]Marigold[/name_f], the ld completes the syllable with the long o sound. In [name_f]Caroline[/name_f], the l is part of the last syllable. In some languages these Ls are actually completely different sounds and if you pay attention you may notice your tongue position is slightly different. (Sorry, linguistics/phonics teaching side note). I think the name is lovely.
[name_f]Marigold[/name_f] [name_f]Caroline[/name_f] is absolutely precious!
I think using a family name trumps flow but really the flow is just fine to me.
[name_f]Caroline[/name_f] balances out the more unique marigold. [name_u]Love[/name_u] it!

It is sorta rhymey, but I think it’s fine.
[name_f]Marigold[/name_f] [name_f]Caroline[/name_f] goes well together.
In my opinion it doesn’t flow that well - I like the two names separately, but for some reason when I say it, the ‘mari’ and ‘caro’ sounds are too similar. The name [name_f]Magnolia[/name_f] could be another option for you? Or something like [name_f]Dahlia[/name_f]?
Some other suggestions:
[name_f]Phoebe[/name_f]
[name_f]Lucie[/name_f]
[name_f]Sophie[/name_f]
[name_f]Lily[/name_f]/[name_f]Lila[/name_f]
[name_f]Hazel[/name_f]
[name_f]Margot[/name_f]
I think it’s fine. Maybe not the best combo ever, but your love for [name_f]Marigold[/name_f], and the importance of [name_f]Caroline[/name_f] as a family middle far outweighs that, I think. By the way, I absolutely adore [name_f]Marigold[/name_f]! A wonderful choice!
I don’t think I’m picking up the “rhyme”. Is it a concern that both names are 3 syllables? Either way, I think both names are lovely and also sound nice together. It also somewhat matters what your last name is as far as total flow of the name.
Bottom line: pretty names, nice family connection, I would go for it!
I do not think it is too rhyme-y. Although I personally would not use [name_f]Marigold[/name_f] as a first name, [name_f]Marigold[/name_f] [name_f]Caroline[/name_f] is beautiful, sunny, and sweet.
It’s not rhymey, but it’s too long for my taste. However, it’s very pretty.
It’s not the best flow, but I love both names so much that I can look past it. 
I say use the name you love and don’t break tradition.
Would [name_f]Marigold[/name_f] have a nickname? [name_f]Maggie[/name_f] [name_f]Caroline[/name_f] would sound cute.
[name_f]Marigold[/name_f] [name_f]Caroline[/name_f] is very pretty! I think [name_f]Caroline[/name_f] [name_f]Marigold[/name_f] sounds a little bit better, but with there being significance in [name_f]Caroline[/name_f], I don’t think it’s really something that needs to be worried about too much–I’d sacrifice flow for significance any day!–and [name_f]Marigold[/name_f] [name_f]Caroline[/name_f] is adorable.
Yes, I totally had the same thought about [name_f]Caroline[/name_f] [name_f]Marigold[/name_f] sounding a bit better! So weird.
Anyways, OP, [name_f]Marigold[/name_f] isn’t really my style, but this combo is pretty-sounding. Both names have lots of nickname potential which is always a plus!
Having up with a rhyming name, I am particularly sensitive to these kinds of things. And I honestly don’t think [name_f]Marigold[/name_f] [name_f]Caroline[/name_f] is rhymey at all. It’s very pretty and very feminine. Makes me think of summer and tall fields of grass and flowers.
Beautiful name.
