The Quick Poll Thread! (Part 2)

Left it too late to edit :disappointed_relieved: but playing with double middles in an attempt to cut down my list. Which do you like? [name_f]Do[/name_f] they work? Any suggestions?

  • Rosalia [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] [name_u]Rae[/name_u]
  • Juniper [name_f]Dianne[/name_f] [name_f]Blythe[/name_f]
  • Eleni [name_u]Dove[/name_u] [name_f]Francesca[/name_f]
  • Seraphina [name_u]Dove[/name_u] [name_u]Willow[/name_u]
  • Clara [name_f]Elowen[/name_f] [name_u]Winter[/name_u]
  • Elowen [name_u]Juniper[/name_u] [name_u]Dove[/name_u] (too nature-y?)

I’d switch the order to [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] [name_f]Georgia[/name_f], from there I would think about maybe switching [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] if the similar -aeve [name_u]Evan[/name_u]- sounds bother you, but I don’t think it’s necessary.

Usually I’d go for [name_m]Ambrose[/name_m] over [name_m]Heath[/name_m] but I find [name_u]Darcy[/name_u] [name_m]Ambrose[/name_m] a bit too romantic / Mr. [name_u]Darcy[/name_u]-ish. [name_m]Heath[/name_m] makes me think of [name_m]Heath[/name_m] [name_m]Ledger[/name_m] and 10 Things I Hate About You, so also romantic but a little more approachable in this combo. The names do run into each other a little though, both being short and sharing the prominent -ee- sound.

I thought the same!

double-barreled names should be
  • completely apart (anne marie)
  • hyphenated (anne-marie)
  • completely together (annemarie)
  • outlawed

0 voters

(don’t take the combo itself into account, just in a general sense)

either hyphenated or completely together, depending on the name… for example; I like [name_f]Maryann[/name_f] completely together but I like [name_f]Mary[/name_f]-[name_f]Kate[/name_f] with a hyphen.

Any of the above, with [name_u]Anne[/name_u]-[name_u]Marie[/name_u] I probably prefer hyphenated. However Annarose, [name_f]Annabeth[/name_f], [name_f]Marybeth[/name_f], [name_f]Annabelle[/name_f], I would write like this.

I think it depends. [name_f]Do[/name_f] you always want both names to be said by everyone? Then I’d go for a hyphenated name (unless it’s already an established name, e.g. [name_f]Annelise[/name_f], I wouldn’t use a ā€œcompletely togetherā€ spelling simply because I don’t like the look of them).
Personally I really like the idea of completely apart names the most, in the family they can be [name_u]Anne[/name_u] [name_u]Marie[/name_u], [name_f]Annie[/name_f] [name_f]May[/name_f], etc. but in school they can also just drop the second name if it’s too much for them (without having to include it on every test, etc.).

With this example, I prefer [name_f]Annemarie[/name_f]. But if it’s something like [name_f]Mary[/name_f] [name_f]Claire[/name_f], I prefer them separate. I don’t like hyphens in names.

If it’s pronounced MEE-lee-bell I don’t think it’s too sweet at all! If it MEL-ee-bell than that’s a little too sweet and rhyme-y for me
