Stylistically, [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f] [name_u]Taylor[/name_u] feels more cohesive, but if tbh, I think going with the first name you love best is more important! [name_f]Rosalind[/name_f] [name_u]Taylor[/name_u] is unexpected but they flow well

I think this is a care of overthinking it haha. I think they flow nicely :slight_smile:

I voted no, but it sounds like it’s name + surname, not name+middle name. [name_u]Taylor[/name_u] [name_f]Rosalind[/name_f] maybe be better, but sounds clash even more.

[name_f]Rosalind[/name_f] [name_u]Taylor[/name_u] sounds like the name of an actress from the [name_u]Golden[/name_u] Age. It’s slightly mismatchy but I think its cute!

Thank you, everyone!

I agree with pp that it works well. In the middle spot with a classic first, [name_u]Taylor[/name_u] reads all surname to me, instead of trendy unisex option. [name_f]Rosalind[/name_f] [name_u]Taylor[/name_u] ____ sounds like a refined southern girl. I like it a lot.

I like it! [name_f]Rosalind[/name_f] is long and traditional, and the streamlined, modern [name_u]Taylor[/name_u] complements it perfectly!

I don’t really think first and middle names have to be the same style, and I’d say I prefer it when they aren’t super matchy, because they feel balanced. I think [name_f]Rosalind[/name_f] [name_u]Taylor[/name_u] is victorian but modern, and grounded, tailored(ha) but still a bit romantic. It’s a great combination.

It sounds like a lovely name to me. Personally, I don’t think first and middle names need to be the same style. Very feminine first names sound lovely with unisex or masculine middles. Many people use out of fashion names in the middle as honour names. Name from different cultures, word names that are too bold for a first name. That’s the fun of it.

It reminds me of [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] [name_u]Taylor[/name_u] in a really positive way. It sounds great!
