I don’t see the need for all those “flow?” worries. Some of those are awkward to say, but so are some of the others. [name]Evelyn[/name] [name]LaRae[/name], for example, is much easier for me to say than [name]Eve[/name] [name]LaRae[/name].

Oh! Now I see the pattern… you’re concerned about the flow with any first name that has an L anywhere in it. I don’t see that as a problem. With this middle, I don’t see repetition as the issue, but flow. That is, a number of first names force you to stop hard between the first and middle. If I think about it, most first names ending in a silent E are harder to say in this context. [name]Diana[/name], for example, is easier than [name]Diane[/name].

When I was 15 I was convinced my future daughter would be [name]Marni[/name] [name]Larae[/name].
