I really liked [name_f]Myka[/name_f] (it was probably my favorite) but then the whole [name_f]Myka[/name_f]/James Stauffer scandal went down and I donā€™t know how I feel about it now. Especially since I think sheā€™s the most famous person with that spelling?

I love [name_f]Mieke[/name_f] but have only ever heard it pronounced like MEE ka! Because of that, I voted [name_f]Maike[/name_f] & [name_u]Micah[/name_u], but [name_u]Mica[/name_u] with no h or [name_u]Mikah[/name_u] may also work! [name_f]Maika[/name_f]?

Ope thatā€™s because itā€™s totally supposed to be [name_f]Meike[/name_f] :see_no_evil:. [name_m]Don[/name_m]ā€™t make polls at 1am.

I like [name_f]Maika[/name_f] too. [name_u]Micha[/name_u] is the spelling that made me fall in love with the name for a girl but that one might be too hard.

Okay, so this popped into my head and now I canā€™t stop thinking about itā€¦

Astrophel Robichaux with my sibset? Robichaux would be honoring my twin brother. Nickname could be [name_u]Bobby[/name_u] (or something else, not sure about that yet).

  • Yes!
  • Itā€™s a bit much, but it works for you
  • I just donā€™t like the name or the combo
  • No! Thatā€™s just not usable

Sheila will have so many mispronunciations as she-luh

Shyla or [name_f]Shayla[/name_f] might be better

I struggle with this, because I adore [name_f]Mieke[/name_f], but would say it MEE-kuh, and it feels really weird to say it otherwise

I feel like itā€™s a bit too much with your sibset. Each of your kids have one safer/more familiar name in their names, [name_m]Astrophel[/name_m] Robichaux feels a lot heavier since both are very rare and long. It isnā€™t unwearable, though.

I see what you mean and youā€™re mostly right, but I donā€™t think thatā€™s true for my [name_m]Endymion[/name_m] Zakynthos. [name_m]Endymion[/name_m] might seem familiar to us name nerds, but a lot of people have never heard of it and both [name_m]Endymion[/name_m] and Zakynthos are long and ā€œheavyā€ names. But I definitely get your point :slightly_smiling_face:

Iā€™m going to be honest, the alliteration puts me off quite a bit - thereā€™s nothing wrong with it, it just feels not-quite-right to me.
