Our last name is [name_f]Georgiana[/name_f], pronounced jor-jee-AH-nuh. (We live in the US.)
[name_u]Baby[/name_u] is a girl, and our absolute favorite name for her is [name_f]Hannah[/name_f]. It holds a lot of family significance as well. We are caught up over if the repetitive endings are too much. Husband thinks that if it our last name was pronounced to rhyme with banana it would be an issue, but the Hannah/…AH-na ending sounds fine as it is.
Second choice is [name_f]Brenna[/name_f], which would also be an honor name. It has the same -na ending as our first choice, but it doesn’t have the Anna/…AH-na issue.
Third choice is [name_u]Brooke[/name_u], which obviously doesn’t have an -na ending.
We need an outside perspective. How do you think these three names, particularly [name_f]Hannah[/name_f], pair with [name_f]Georgiana[/name_f]? Should we scrap all names ending in -na? [name_u]Or[/name_u] do you have any other suggestions that would go well with [name_f]Georgiana[/name_f]? Thanks!
Oh, I love [name_f]Hannah[/name_f]. And, if anything, it might help people pronounce your last name correctly because they’d assume you wouldn’t rhyme the two names.
I’m always an advocate of using your absolute favorite unless there’s just a terrible reason not to–and this doesn’t seem terrible to me!
I think Brenna works a bit better (though still a bit too much for my tastes), but to me Hannah Georgiana just doesn’t sound great, sorry! It’s reminding me of names you’d hear on characters from children’s cartoons.
For suggestions, since you like Hannah, Brenna and Brooke, maybe some names that would appeal to you would be: Aria, Autumn, Belle, Briar, Bryony, Clara, Callie, Ever, Evie, Emilia, Eliza, Hope, Iris, Juliet, Lola, Lara, Laurel, Lainey, Louisa, Lena, Mae, Mallory, Maisie, Molly, Noelle, Olive, Phoebe, Rosalie, Rose, Thalia, Thea, Valerie?
I think [name_f]Hannah[/name_f] [name_f]Georgiana[/name_f] works! The endings don’t actually sound the same so it isn’t rhymey, and I think the flow and cadence is actually really nice
I agree with those saying that [name_f]Hannah[/name_f] [name_f]Georgiana[/name_f] works. In fact, I think it sounds great! The four syllables in your last name really break up what could be an overly similar pair of names. Instead, they sound like they are meant to be together!
