[name_f]Lea[/name_f] [name_u]James[/name_u] [name_u]Marie[/name_u] is my latest crush, [name_f]Lea[/name_f] and [name_u]James[/name_u] is after my parents (L3@nne & J@mes) and [name_u]Marie[/name_u] is after my great-great-grandmother who my grandmother was close to.
what do you guys think? does [name_f]Lea[/name_f] [name_u]James[/name_u] [name_u]Marie[/name_u] sound alright?
How are you pronouncing [name_f]Lea[/name_f]? In my family, it is pronounced [name_u]Lee[/name_u], so it could sound like two masculine names in a row (and in Catholic communities, three masculine names in a row).
I like the idea of the name, but the pronunciation sticks me a bit with my family history.
I think it flows well but as per previous poster, [name_f]Leah[/name_f] might be a better spelling to make it clear if this is the pronunciation. I’m usually ambivalent about [name_u]James[/name_u] for a girl but I really like it as an honour. (I hope this comes across OK online, and obviously you can just ignore :), but I wonder if it would be worth saving to say 5-15 names and posting them all on one post for feedback and/or your favourite names and asking for combinations rather than single posts for each new name idea.)
I do one at a time because it’s easier for me, because everytime I posted multiple combos at the same time I sometimes had a hard time figuring out what idea was for what combo
I really like the family significance and simple yet not bland feel of the combo. [name_f]Lea[/name_f] [name_u]James[/name_u] [name_u]Marie[/name_u] is sweet yet solid. I am not a fan of masculine names on girls so I would modify it to [name_f]Lea[/name_f] [name_f]Jacqueline[/name_f] [name_u]Marie[/name_u] / [name_f]Lea[/name_f] [name_f]Jamesina[/name_f] [name_u]Marie[/name_u] / [name_f]Lea[/name_f] [name_f]Jacobine[/name_f] [name_u]Marie[/name_u] etc. That’s entirely my weird pet peeve tho, otherwise there is absolutely nothing wrong with the second middle name [name_u]James[/name_u] in terms of flow. I’m sure your family would be very pleased with this kind of name for your daughter.
Personally I think [name_u]James[/name_u] is style incongruent in this combo; what about [name_f]Lea[/name_f] [name_f]Johanna[/name_f] [name_u]Marie[/name_u] or [name_f]Leah[/name_f] (this spelling) [name_u]James[/name_u] [name_u]Marie[/name_u]?
[name_f]Lea[/name_f] is one of those names that I never know if it’s being pronounced like [name_u]Lee[/name_u], [name_f]Leah[/name_f], or [name_f]Leia[/name_f]. I don’t like [name_u]James[/name_u] on a girl, but [name_u]Jamie[/name_u] is nice. [name_u]Marie[/name_u] is a filler name to me: overdone and very common.
