My newest crush is [name]Mary[/name]-[name]Juliet[/name], but I need some opinions on it before I can let myself really fall for it. Firstly, do you think all double names are awful? I’ve always been biased against them, but have been researching my family tree and found generations upon generations of double names on my French side. I know they can be a bit of a burden, as I understand it the main problem is that people only call you by the first part, but we’d probably use [name]Mary[/name] more anyway. I worry that she’d find [name]Mary[/name] alone a little too plain. Secondly, the name itself? I love love love both [name]Mary[/name] and [name]Juliet[/name] (especially as middle names, they’re both family names) and think they sound nice together, still a little bit unsure though. Thirdly, any other unusual variants of [name]Mary[/name] you’d suggest instead? It is super important for us to use some version of [name]Mary[/name], but we also really want to use [name]Rachel[/name] as a mn, and ‘[name]Mary[/name] [name]Rachel[/name]’ together sounds a little uninspired. I love [name]Rosemary[/name] already, and am considering [name]Marianne[/name] (nn [name]Marnie[/name]?). What do you think?
So, is [name]Mary[/name]-[name]Juliet[/name] a keeper? Any and all opinions welcome, I’m supposed to be revising for finals so I need distracting
I like [name]Mary[/name] and [name]Juliette[/name] but i actually prefer [name]Juliette[/name]!
I quite like the sound/flow of [name]Juliette[/name]-[name]Marie[/name]! To me [name]MARY[/name]-[name]JULIEtte[/name] sounds a little repetitive but its cute!
And I think double first names are absolutely fine!! My son gets called by his first AND middle name quite a bit… ( not just when he is in trouble!)
Hmm, yeah, I like [name]Juliet[/name]-[name]Marie[/name] too, though it is very French (and a daughter would only be a quarter French). I suppose I say [name]Juliet[/name] more as [name]Julyet[/name] rather than [name]Juli[/name]-et, so it seems less rhymey to me. Thanks for the advice on double first names
@bellerose: [name]Mary[/name]-[name]Alice[/name] is lovely! But [name]Alice[/name] is getting a little too popular here.
Recently I’ve fallen in love with [name]Mary[/name]-[name]Elizabeth[/name], [name]Mary[/name]-[name]Catherine[/name], [name]Anna[/name]-[name]Sophia[/name] & [name]Mary[/name]-[name]Louise[/name].
I don’t see anything wrong with double barreled names. [name]One[/name] of my closest friends from high school was named [name]Mary[/name]-[name]Ellen[/name].
Thanks, [name]Mary[/name]-[name]Blythe[/name] is pretty too!
Ooh, I actually quite like [name]Mary[/name]-[name]Ellen[/name] and [name]Mary[/name]-[name]Elizabeth[/name], but they are a little too expected, so it led me to consider [name]Mary[/name]-[name]Elspeth[/name] (both grandmothers’ names!) which I also absolutely adore! So many [name]Mary[/name] options to consider, yay! I also really like [name]Anne[/name]- and [name]Anna[/name]- as the start of a double-barrelled name. Thank you
Hmm…
I think [name]Mary[/name]-[name]Juliet[/name] is a pretty combination, I like both [name]Mary[/name] and [name]Juliet[/name]. I also think it’s sweet that double barrel first names are common in your family thus your deciding to use one. I love family connections! I also think [name]Mary[/name] is a really lovely simplistic choice, refreshing even, similarly to my favourite girl’s name [name]Jane[/name]. They have a similar vibe. But I think the flow is a little off. I would prefer [name]Juliet[/name] [name]Mary[/name]. Furthermore you can still have [name]Juliet[/name] [name]Mary[/name] as a double barrel name and it almost makes the name more refreshing after all their are loads of [name]Mary[/name] [name]Jane[/name]'s, [name]Mary[/name] [name]Kate[/name]'s and [name]Mary[/name] [name]Ellen[/name]'s around.
Variants of [name]Mary[/name]:
[name]Marina[/name]
[name]Malia[/name]
[name]Manon[/name]
[name]Mara[/name]
[name]Marabel[/name]
[name]Marian[/name]
[name]Mariella[/name]
[name]Marilyn[/name]
[name]Rachel[/name] is a lovely name, very sweet and wholesome. I also love the religious connotations behind [name]Rachel[/name]. But I agree [name]Mary[/name] [name]Rachel[/name] is a little uninspired. From the names above I think [name]Marina[/name] [name]Rachel[/name], [name]Mara[/name] [name]Rachel[/name], [name]Mariella[/name] [name]Rachel[/name] and [name]Marilyn[/name] [name]Rachel[/name] sound great together. I also think [name]Rachel[/name] could work as a third name for the [name]Mary[/name] [name]Juliet[/name] [name]Rachel[/name] and [name]Juliet[/name] [name]Mary[/name] [name]Rachel[/name] it’s pretty.
Definitely a keeper. And although [name]Mary[/name]-[name]Jane[/name] and [name]Mary[/name]-[name]Kate[/name] are cute, I love that this is a less conventional double-barreled [name]Mary[/name] name.
I think [name]Mary[/name]-[name]Juliet[/name] is very pretty! You should keep it! I don’t know why people on name forums hate double barreled first names so much. I honestly don’t see anything wrong with them.
