For years I have been set on naming my girl after a little girl I nannied.
Should [name_f]Nora[/name_f]'s middle name be [name_u]Morgan[/name_u] or [name_f]Elise[/name_f]?
[name_f]Nora[/name_f] [name_u]Morgan[/name_u] has similar sounds and [name_f]Nora[/name_f] [name_f]Elise[/name_f] runs together. Uhh I don’t know!
In this scenario I would go with [name_f]Nora[/name_f] [name_f]Elise[/name_f]. Yes the vowels run together but, the names don’t contain many of the same letters in a similar order. [name_f]Nora[/name_f] [name_u]Morgan[/name_u] just doesn’t flow. You may want to try other ‘gan’ names. [name_u]Teagan[/name_u], [name_f]Megan[/name_f], [name_u]Keegan[/name_u] ect. Or names Similar to [name_f]Elise[/name_f] like [name_f]Liza[/name_f], [name_u]Lisa[/name_u]. I think [name_f]Louise[/name_f] or [name_f]Louisa[/name_f] might be close enough to the sound of [name_f]Elise[/name_f].
Good [name_m]Luck[/name_m]!
[name_f]Nora[/name_f] [name_u]Morgan[/name_u] is a bit repetitive, but I find it easier to say than [name_f]Nora[/name_f] [name_f]Elise[/name_f]. What if you changed it to [name_f]Nora[/name_f] [name_f]Eloise[/name_f] to honor [name_f]Elise[/name_f]?
[name_f]Nora[/name_f] is pretty, [name_f]Nora[/name_f] [name_u]Morgan[/name_u] doesn’t really “go” though… Have you thought about two middles?
[name_f]Nora[/name_f] [name_f]Caroline[/name_f] [name_f]Elise[/name_f]
[name_f]Nora[/name_f] [name_f]Imogen[/name_f] [name_f]Elise[/name_f]
[name_f]Nora[/name_f] [name_f]Winifred[/name_f] [name_f]Elise[/name_f]
[name_f]Nora[/name_f] [name_f]Abigail[/name_f] [name_f]Elise[/name_f]
[name_f]Nora[/name_f] [name_u]Juniper[/name_u] [name_f]Elise[/name_f]
…?
Definitely NOT [name_u]Morgan[/name_u]. [name_f]Nora[/name_f] [name_f]Elise[/name_f] is the clear choice out of those two, but I have to say the flow of [name_f]Nora[/name_f] [name_f]Elise[/name_f] isn’t all that great, either. I [name_f]LOVE[/name_f] the suggestion of [name_f]Nora[/name_f] [name_f]Eloise[/name_f]. That’s simply gorgeous.
I’m not sure if this makes sense, but the ending sound in [name_f]Nora[/name_f] and the beginning sound of [name_f]Elise[/name_f] are rather similar so it’s more awkward and laborious to say the combination; however, the beginning sound in [name_f]Eloise[/name_f] is more distinctively different because it has that strong “[name_f]EL[/name_f]” sound whereas [name_f]Elise[/name_f]'s beginning sound is a little softer and can come off more like “Uh-LEES”.
That probably made no sense, but basically, my vote is for [name_f]Nora[/name_f] [name_f]Eloise[/name_f] if you are considering other names. If not, definitely [name_f]Nora[/name_f] [name_f]Elise[/name_f] from your two choices.
Neither really flows. What about [name_f]Nora[/name_f] [name_f]Morgana[/name_f]? It isn’t perfect but a good compromise.
I wouldn’t use [name_u]Morgan[/name_u] after [name_f]Nora[/name_f]. [name_f]Nora[/name_f] [name_f]Elise[/name_f] is better, but there is room for improvement. Ideas:
[name_f]Nora[/name_f] [name_f]Tamsin[/name_f] … [name_f]Nora[/name_f] [name_f]Faith[/name_f] … [name_f]Nora[/name_f] [name_f]Madelyn[/name_f]
[name_f]Nora[/name_f] [name_f]Jasmine[/name_f] … [name_f]Nora[/name_f] [name_f]Jade[/name_f] … [name_f]Nora[/name_f] [name_u]Jay[/name_u]
[name_f]Nora[/name_f] [name_f]Violet[/name_f] … [name_f]Nora[/name_f] [name_f]Jessamyn[/name_f] … [name_f]Nora[/name_f] [name_u]Juniper[/name_u]
[name_f]Nora[/name_f] [name_u]June[/name_u] … [name_f]Nora[/name_f] Cameryn … [name_f]Nora[/name_f] [name_u]Kelly[/name_u]
[name_f]Nora[/name_f] [name_u]Dominique[/name_u] … [name_f]Nora[/name_f] [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] … [name_f]Nora[/name_f] [name_u]Quincy[/name_u]
[name_f]Nora[/name_f] [name_f]Verity[/name_f] … [name_f]Nora[/name_f] [name_u]Brinley[/name_u] … [name_f]Nora[/name_f] [name_f]Juliet[/name_f]
[name_f]Nora[/name_f] [name_f]Beth[/name_f]
[name_f]Nora[/name_f] [name_f]Elise[/name_f] is ravishing and I don’t have a problem with the flow. Have you considered to put a name in between [name_f]Nora[/name_f] and [name_f]Elise[/name_f] if the flow bothers you (i.e. [name_f]Nora[/name_f] [name_f]Catherine[/name_f] [name_f]Elise[/name_f] etc.)?
[name_f]Nora[/name_f] [name_f]Elise[/name_f] is beautiful.
Thanks! The suggestion of [name_f]Eloise[/name_f] is beautiful however I want to stick with ether elise or morgan. I think [name_f]Elise[/name_f] is the obvious choice.
