[Etymology]

I love [name_f]Emma[/name_f] [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f]

[name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] [name_f]Caroline[/name_f] is ok

but I dislike them for sisters because I dislike that their middle names are effectively the same name - or from the same root

[Youssarian]

I wrote a short story in middle school and the protagonist’s name (first and last) was [name_f]Calandra[/name_f] [name_u]Lark[/name_u]

[leafygreens]

[name_u]Ryder[/name_u] [name_u]Flynn[/name_u] is way too connected with [name_u]Flynn[/name_u] [name_u]Ryder[/name_u] for me

[SeizeToday]

Agreed, but I told DH I’d throw it in there anyway!

[SeizeToday]

Which spelling do you prefer? I tend to opt for traditional spellings, but I also kind of like how the Y is repeated in both names. Thoughts?

• Miles Flynn
• Myles Flynn

[leafygreens]

I prefer [name_u]Miles[/name_u] but I don’t mind [name_m]Myles[/name_m] at all I think it looks quite nice, and depending on the combo my preference changes. I prefer the [name_u]Miles[/name_u] spelling with [name_u]Flynn[/name_u] but I see the appeal of the double Y names with [name_m]Myles[/name_m] [name_u]Flynn[/name_u]

[SeizeToday]

Thanks! I can see both working, but I’m afraid he would be forever known as “Miles with a Y” if we went that route. Then again, our last name has double letters, so it seems like a nice transition in my mind:

Y → Y and NN → LL

Perhaps I’m wayyy overthinking this…

[EagleEyes]

That makes sense! Sound-wise I don’t hear the similarity as much either, it’s more visually that it stands out. And I don’t think of them as older names at all, but maybe that’s because I’ve never met anybody with either name. I’m glad you like Isaura!!
