[name_m]How[/name_m] many syllables is your surname?

Surname is 4 syllables

In the case I’m voting for [name_f]Philippa[/name_f]! I was torn between that and [name_f]Seraphina[/name_f], but [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] [name_f]Seraphina[/name_f] (4 syllable surname) is a lot of name.

I do think [name_f]Seraphina[/name_f] is still a beautiful option though!

[name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] is beautiful.

[name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] [name_f]Philippa[/name_f] is just a fantastic combo. I don’t like how [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] and [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] both start with el. [name_f]Marie[/name_f] seems a bit dated especially as a common middle like [name_u]Lynn[/name_u] used to be. I would suggest [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] [name_f]Mary[/name_f] instead. [name_f]Seraphina[/name_f] I think is a bit much with your long surname.

[name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] [name_f]Phillipa[/name_f] is just stunning ! :slight_smile:

[name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] [name_f]Philippa[/name_f] is my favorite, but considering the length of your surname, I’d go with [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] [name_f]Marie[/name_f].

Yes I also agree with other commenters! I don’t normally like [name_f]Phillipa[/name_f] for reasons of association- but the combo immediately jumped out at me. [name_f]Phillipa[/name_f] makes [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] feel fresh and unique and almost worldly or adventurous I’m not sure why. It also looks very nice written: [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] [name_f]Phillipa[/name_f]

[name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] [name_f]Philippa[/name_f] is a fantastic combination!

Congratulations!! I chose [name_f]Phillipa[/name_f], mostly because I think [name_f]Marie[/name_f] and [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] are very commonly (maybe too commonly?) used as middles and [name_f]Seraphina[/name_f] seemed a bit too flighty with [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f]. [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] [name_f]Pippa[/name_f] would be less of a mouthful and just as cool.

I chose [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] [name_f]Marie[/name_f] because I love the flow and it seems to me that [name_f]Marie[/name_f] is not overused among this generation. It is pretty and classic and almost unexpected in 2018. With a longer last name, the simplicity could work well. That said, I quite like [name_f]Philippa[/name_f] too.
