I love the meaning behind [name]Selah[/name] [name]Carys[/name], but I don’t think anyone will know how to pronounce [name]Selah[/name] when they first read it.
[name]November[/name] [name]Valentina[/name] is a mouthful! I do like the nickname [name]Ember[/name], but I’ve never been crazy about the name [name]Valentine[/name]/a.

My suggestions:

I think [name]November[/name] [name]Carys[/name] is best… plus so many nickname possibilities!

Thanks! Yes, [name]November[/name] [name]Carys[/name] was an idea we’ve had too–I feel like I have so many it’s hard to narrow them down! I love your perspective here. Thanks!

I do think changing the spelling might be worth trying. We’ve had some issues w/ our older daughter’s name. I don’t regret spelling it the way we do–but might not have the patience for it 2 times! :slight_smile: (and that would be just our own fault, ha).

I love the thought and meaning behind your names! I’m actually the opposite of the previous poster – I love [name]Valentina[/name] but not so much [name]November[/name]. I voted for [name]Selah[/name] [name]Carys[/name] – beautiful name choice!

I say a name is out if you have to tell us how to pronounce it… then nobody else would either… I love the nn [name]Ember[/name] also!!

I think [name]Selah[/name] [name]Carys[/name] is gorgeous, meaningful, and unusual. [name]Just[/name] love it! I knew how to pronounce it already, so I’m sure some people will.

I love the nn [name]Ember[/name] as well, but [name]November[/name] feels a bit clunky to me as a first. And I’m not fond of the flow with [name]Valentina[/name].
