After a lot of deliberating we finally agreed on a name we gave up on; Hastings, [name_u]Everest[/name_u], [name_m]Hiram[/name_m], [name_m]Grant[/name_m], [name_m]Valor[/name_m] & [name_m]Montgomery[/name_m] and went with… [name_m]SAYER[/name_m] (pronounced like sire) I’d love to hear what you think of the name [name_m]Sayer[/name_m] what kind of vibe It gives you? Also, we need a middle name for [name_m]Sayer[/name_m] something Immaculate and striking yet rugged and romantic. We are thinking about [name_u]Monroe[/name_u].
Where did you see [name_m]Sayer[/name_m] is pronounced like “sire”? I am hoping to use it for a middle name for our boy due in 1 week (FN yet to be determined) but I have been pronouncing it “[name_m]SAY[/name_m]-er”. Hmmmm…
As for a middle name, I would stay away from names that double as nouns and adjectives, if you’re pronouncing it “[name_m]SAY[/name_m]-er” because it could come out as “[name_m]Say[/name_m] you’re”… So “[name_m]Say[/name_m] you’re [name_u]Blue[/name_u]” or “[name_m]Say[/name_m] you’re [name_m]Valor[/name_m]” or “[name_m]Say[/name_m] you’re [name_m]Bear[/name_m]”.
[name_u]Monroe[/name_u] is very cool sounding!
I like [name_m]Sayer[/name_m] [name_u]Monroe[/name_u] but I agree with PP that I would pronounce it [name_m]SAY[/name_m]-er. I have a friend with this name so I suppose it’s all I know
“Where did you see [name_m]Sayer[/name_m] is pronounced like “sire”?” maybe it’s just us.
So just to make it clear if we will go with Sire. Dose Sire [name_u]Monroe[/name_u] stil works or is it too much? what do you about that change? and is the middle name fits?
I’m not a fan of Sire as a name just because it reminds me of breeding and royalty, if that makes sense? Like a horse sire or calling a king “sire”. I believe it means “to impregnate” or “father”. I think [name_m]Will[/name_m] [name_m]Smith[/name_m] used it as one of his kids names but spelled in Syre. If you love it then go for it! It’s your baby!
I think it really depends on your accent because I’ve heard it pronounced both ways. [name_m]Sayer[/name_m] [name_u]Monroe[/name_u] is a nice name, imo.
