So i’ve decided to compromise with baby’s dad and go with [name_u]Kendall[/name_u] for our baby (if its a girl!) I’m not in love with the name by any means but I don’t hate it its kinda cute… Anyway I want really girly middle names to soften the name up a little. Definately going with two middle names so she’ll either be [name_u]Kendall[/name_u] [name_f]Lily[/name_f] [name_f]Alice[/name_f], [name_u]Kendall[/name_u] [name_f]Olivia[/name_f] [name_f]Alice[/name_f] or [name_u]Kendall[/name_u] [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] [name_f]Alice[/name_f]. [name_f]Lily[/name_f] and [name_f]Alice[/name_f] are both family names for me so I am swaying more towards [name_u]Kendall[/name_u] [name_f]Lily[/name_f] [name_f]Alice[/name_f] but I do really like the others too. What name would you go with though?
I prefer [name_u]Kendall[/name_u] [name_f]Lily[/name_f] [name_f]Alice[/name_f]. While [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] is my favorite name out of your three first middle name choices, I don’t think [name_u]Kendall[/name_u] [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] [name_f]Alice[/name_f] sounds well. [name_u]Kendall[/name_u] [name_f]Olivia[/name_f] [name_f]Alice[/name_f] would be my second choice.
[name_u]Kendall[/name_u] [name_f]Lily[/name_f] [name_f]Alice[/name_f] would be my favourite of the above, though [name_f]Lily[/name_f] [name_f]Alice[/name_f] alone would be ideal.
Normally names with different syllable counts have a better flow, but I like sound of [name_u]Kendall[/name_u] [name_f]Lily[/name_f] [name_f]Alice[/name_f] the best. But the ends with L begins with L is a little much for me. [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] seems too choppy for some reason so I’d follow it with a one syllable. [name_f]Olivia[/name_f] is a bit heavy on the L’s as well when paired with [name_f]Alice[/name_f].
[name_u]Kendall[/name_u] [name_f]Mary[/name_f] [name_f]Alice[/name_f]
[name_u]Kendall[/name_u] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] [name_f]Alice[/name_f]
[name_u]Kendall[/name_u] [name_f]Hope[/name_f] [name_f]Alice[/name_f]
[name_u]Kendall[/name_u] [name_f]Olivia[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f]
[name_u]Kendall[/name_u] [name_f]Olivia[/name_f] [name_u]Francis[/name_u]
[name_u]Kendall[/name_u] [name_f]Olivia[/name_f] [name_f]Carys[/name_f]
[name_u]Kendall[/name_u] [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] [name_f]Mae[/name_f]
[name_u]Kendall[/name_u] [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] [name_u]Grey[/name_u]
[name_u]Kendall[/name_u] [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] [name_f]Anne[/name_f]
But most important, go with what you love. [name_u]Kendall[/name_u] [name_f]Lily[/name_f] [name_f]Alice[/name_f] [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] and [name_f]Olivia[/name_f] are all lovely names.
I hate to mention this, but your combos for [name_u]Kendall[/name_u] have so many Ls I wonder if it may be taking away from her first name. [name_u]Kendall[/name_u] [name_f]Olivia[/name_f] [name_f]Alice[/name_f] has a lot of L sounds and it sort of runs together.
Ideas:
[name_u]Kendall[/name_u] with [name_f]Lily[/name_f] and [name_f]Alice[/name_f] being family names:
[name_u]Kendall[/name_u] [name_f]Alicia[/name_f] [name_u]Juniper[/name_u] ( ah [name_u]Lee[/name_u] see uh )
I think if you try blending [name_f]Alice[/name_f] and [name_f]Lily[/name_f] together by using a different name, you can find a more balanced combo.
[name_f]Alice[/name_f] and [name_f]Lily[/name_f] together: Aely/Aily ( ail lee ) … Aylea, [name_f]Calla[/name_f], [name_f]Callie[/name_f], [name_f]Callia[/name_f], [name_f]Alethea[/name_f]
[name_u]Kendall[/name_u] Alecandra ( pro. Like [name_f]Alessandra[/name_f] ) = [name_u]Kendall[/name_u] Alecandra/[name_f]Alessandra[/name_f] [name_f]Lily[/name_f]
Something along those lines.
I like all the middles, but I feel like the end of [name_u]Kendall[/name_u] and the start of [name_f]Lily[/name_f] sort of blend together. What about [name_u]Kendall[/name_u] [name_f]Alice[/name_f] [name_f]Lily[/name_f]? [name_f]My[/name_f] preference would be to use the family names since they are special to you and they’re lovely names.
I was questioning if their were too many L’s what do you think of [name_u]Kendall[/name_u] [name_f]Niamh[/name_f] [name_f]Alice[/name_f] or [name_u]Kendall[/name_u] [name_f]Sophie[/name_f] [name_f]Alice[/name_f] instead? I can always save [name_f]Lily[/name_f] for another time.
If you don’t love the name, then by all means, keep looking. You will regret settling and not using a name you absolutely love.
[name_u]Kendall[/name_u] [name_f]Olivia[/name_f] [name_f]Alice[/name_f] sounds so pretty!
[name_f]My[/name_f] Dad’s is [name_u]Kendall[/name_u] [name_u]Ray[/name_u].
[name_u]Kendall[/name_u] [name_f]Sophie[/name_f] [name_f]Alice[/name_f] works much better, but like someone else mentioned, do not settle.
To my ears in [name_u]Kendall[/name_u] [name_f]Lily[/name_f] [name_f]Alice[/name_f], kendaLL [name_f]LILy[/name_f] sort of run together as do li[name_m]LY[/name_m] [name_f]ALice[/name_f]. So although I like that both have meaning, I would pick one of the other. Save [name_f]Lily[/name_f] for a second child.
Phonetically, [name_u]Kendall[/name_u] [name_f]Olivia[/name_f] [name_f]Alice[/name_f] is best with it’s 2-3-1 combo, but the a from [name_f]OliviA[/name_f] and [name_f]Alice[/name_f] run together.
[name_u]Kendall[/name_u] [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] [name_f]Alice[/name_f] is a bit clunky with 2-2-1. [name_u]Kendall[/name_u] [name_f]Alice[/name_f] [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] might be better, but then you have kendALL [name_f]ALice[/name_f] with runs together…
[name_m]How[/name_m] about
[name_u]Kendall[/name_u] [name_f]Olivia[/name_f] [name_f]Lily[/name_f]
[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] [name_f]Alice[/name_f] [name_u]Kendall[/name_u]
[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] [name_f]Olivia[/name_f] [name_f]Alice[/name_f]
[name_f]Alice[/name_f] [name_f]Lily[/name_f] [name_u]Kendall[/name_u]
If you don’t love/like [name_u]Kendall[/name_u], I wouldn’t compromise. There’s got to be a name out there you both love!
edit: I like both Kendall Sophie Alice and Kendall Niamh Alice. I can never remember how to pronounce Niamh though.
Don’t settle! Keep looking!
[name_m]Don[/name_m]'t settle!
Also, the combos you listed are way too L heavy. Are you guys opposed to using [name_u]Kendall[/name_u] as a middle? I like [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] [name_f]Alice[/name_f] [name_u]Kendall[/name_u].
Instead of [name_u]Kendall[/name_u], maybe one of the following would work:
[name_u]Emerson[/name_u] [name_f]Lily[/name_f] [name_f]Alice[/name_f]
[name_u]Kennedy[/name_u] [name_f]Lily[/name_f] [name_f]Alice[/name_f]
[name_u]Arden[/name_u] [name_f]Lily[/name_f] [name_f]Alice[/name_f]
[name_u]Sawyer[/name_u] [name_f]Alice[/name_f] [name_f]Lily[/name_f]
[name_u]Parker[/name_u] [name_f]Lily[/name_f] [name_f]Alice[/name_f]
[name_u]Payton[/name_u] [name_f]Lily[/name_f] [name_f]Alice[/name_f]
[name_m]Tanner[/name_m] [name_f]Lily[/name_f] [name_f]Alice[/name_f]
[name_u]Spencer[/name_u] [name_f]Alice[/name_f] [name_f]Lily[/name_f]
[name_f]Paige[/name_f] [name_f]Lily[/name_f] [name_f]Alice[/name_f]
[name_f]Lily[/name_f] [name_u]Emerson[/name_u] [name_f]Alice[/name_f]
[name_u]Piper[/name_u] [name_f]Lily[/name_f] [name_f]Alice[/name_f]
[name_u]Harper[/name_u] [name_f]Lily[/name_f] [name_f]Alice[/name_f]
[name_u]Avery[/name_u] [name_f]Lily[/name_f] [name_f]Alice[/name_f]
[name_u]Addison[/name_u] [name_f]Lily[/name_f] [name_f]Alice[/name_f]
You can always play around with the combos, but those are just some ideas with a similar feel to [name_u]Kendall[/name_u]!
