So we finally agreed on a first name, and now we’re working on middle names. Simone and Sylvie are our top two choices, but we are open to suggestions. General criteria seems to be 1) 2-3 syllables, 2) first vowel sound is short, and 3) does not end in -ia or -lyn. My husband has some extremely specific criteria :joy: Last name is one syllable and starts with ‘S’.

I love [name_f]Nora[/name_f] [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] she feels bright and whimsical whereas [name_f]Nora[/name_f] [name_u]Simone[/name_u] just feels like you wanted to make your child after [name_f]Nina[/name_f] [name_u]Simone[/name_u] but you’ve made an error with the honour if that makes sense.

[name_f]Nora[/name_f] [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] is perfect!

[name_f]Nora[/name_f] [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] :heart:

[name_f]Nora[/name_f] Vivienne/Vivian came to mind too

I would go [name_f]Nora[/name_f] [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] including bc [name_f]Nina[/name_f] [name_u]Simone[/name_u] thing - but with a S last name I might go for a different starting letter for middle. Maybe:

[name_f]Nora[/name_f] [name_f]Delphi[/name_f]
[name_f]Nora[/name_f] [name_f]Tabitha[/name_f]
[name_f]Nora[/name_f] [name_f]Valerie[/name_f]
[name_f]Nora[/name_f] [name_f]Zoë[/name_f]
[name_f]Nora[/name_f] [name_f]Josephine[/name_f]

But I do really like [name_f]Nora[/name_f] [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] and maybe running into another S keeps it zippy!

Normally I would pick [name_u]Simone[/name_u] because I think that name is gorgeous and underused. However, [name_f]Nora[/name_f] [name_u]Simone[/name_u] is really close to [name_f]Nina[/name_f] [name_u]Simone[/name_u]. She’s great, but that’s kind of a “one person” name, ya know? So I went with [name_f]Nora[/name_f] [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f]

I’ve never heard of [name_f]Nina[/name_f] [name_u]Simone[/name_u] so not sure about that association. But I just don’t like the name [name_u]Simone[/name_u]. The “moan” in it just doesn’t sound pleasant to me. [name_f]Nora[/name_f] [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] is a beautiful name.
