Thoughts on one syllable first and last names together please?
I think a longer soft one syllable name (Maeve, [name_f]Niamh[/name_f] vs something harder ending like [name_f]Pearl[/name_f] for example) can work but wondering if a two syllable name, even if a short name works better with a single syllable last name (Ivy, [name_f]Maeva[/name_f] etc for example)
I think some work and others do not as they sound too abrupt and don’t have good flow. Names with a long vowel sound are usually fine. Examples would be [name_u]Blake[/name_u] [name_u]Reed[/name_u], [name_f]Jane[/name_f] [name_m]Burke[/name_m], whereas [name_u]Drew[/name_u] [name_u]Reed[/name_u] or [name_f]Tess[/name_f] [name_m]Burke[/name_m] sound abrupt. I think it is best to evaluate them individually. Most short two syllable names would be easier to work with.
I think they can work - I’ve known a number of people with names like that and they sound fine
It definitely depends on the specific names in question. Like any rule there are exceptions so it is totally possible to pair two 1 syllable names, but it would be a lot easier to find a 2 syllable first that works.
some definitely do, but i think it depends on the endings of the names and what the prominent vowel sound is!
On the whole, I think they’re great. I’m trying to think of examples, and so far I’m liking all of them! [name_f]Kate[/name_f] [name_u]Wilde[/name_u], [name_f]Maude[/name_f] [name_m]Hart[/name_m], [name_f]Jane[/name_f] [name_m]Cobb[/name_m], [name_m]Paul[/name_m] [name_m]Wright[/name_m], [name_f]Belle[/name_f] [name_u]Brook[/name_u], [name_u]Anne[/name_u] [name_u]Blythe[/name_u] (
)… yep, they’re all great!
