I’m already 31 weeks pregnant and I’m having a tough time deciding on my second daughter’s name. The only name I’m definite on using is [name_u]Quinn[/name_u], which I’d like her first name to be, but I have a single syllable last name. [name_f]Do[/name_f] two single-syllable names sound too choppy? Help, please!
I don’t think so. Think [name_m]George[/name_m] [name_m]Jones[/name_m] (an old country/western singer). It’s a refreshing change, actually. I’m envisioning a simple last name so something like [name_u]Quinn[/name_u] [name_m]Jones[/name_m] or [name_u]Quinn[/name_u] [name_m]Smith[/name_m]. The other thing is it gives you a lot of room for middle names so if there is a 4 syllable middle you like or a double middle… no sweat.
Example:
[name_u]Quinn[/name_u] [name_f]Seraphina[/name_f] [name_m]Jones[/name_m]
That looks very complete and balanced in my mind.
I have a one-syllable last name, and many (and I mean virtually all) of my DH’s family has one-syllable first names…they all sound just fine! (His is only his informal name or nn, but he himself is [name_m]Shep[/name_m] [name_u]Gray[/name_u]. It works for me!)
