[name_m]Hi[/name_m] guys, my baby girl is due in a couple of months and I think we have the name
:
[name_f]Amoret[/name_f] [name_f]Gweneth[/name_f]

What do you think? I’m actually worried it’s a bit of a mouthful, but [name_f]Gweneth[/name_f] is to honour my grandmother who turned 90 this year and I am incredibly close to.

[name_m]Just[/name_m] wanted some feedback, I come from a circle with incredibly popular names so I know I’m gonna get some weird looks/ comments from ppl on it! I want to be sure I’m not biased!

Thank you in advance :slight_smile:

Never come across [name_f]Amoret[/name_f] before - how pretty! What nn are you thinking of? Lots of options.
I love all [name_f]Gwen[/name_f] names and I think it is right to use middles as honour names so all in all yes I think it’s a lovely, distinctive name that is meaningful to you. [name_f]Amoret[/name_f] pretty and feminine but not frilly because of the ‘et’ ending giving it strength and substance.

Thanks Hannahloulou! Not sure of nicknames actually. I thought maybe [name_f]Amorie[/name_f]? But I’m not a nick namey kind of gal :wink: both my kids go by their full name. [name_f]Welcome[/name_f] any suggestions, though!

Such romantic name! I really like it :slight_smile: Good luck!

I love [name_f]Amoret[/name_f]! I think the name sounds beautiful! I would prefer to see [name_f]Gwyneth[/name_f] over [name_f]Gweneth[/name_f] but if you’re honouring someone then it makes perfect sense. A truly wonderful combo! :slight_smile:

I love it! [name_f]Amoret[/name_f] is beautiful.

I really like [name_f]Amoret[/name_f], and completely understand you wanting to honour your grandmother with her name as well. However I agree that it is a bit of a mouthful… it does seems a little clunky to me. However, your heart is totally in the right place - such a gorgeous name for gorgeous reasons. [name_m]Don[/name_m]'t worry about the “boring” people in the family - she’s your little girl!

Beautiful combination! It is especially beautiful that you are honoring your grandmother.

I love the name [name_f]Amoret[/name_f], its very delicate and elegant, and its not a name you hear often.

Whilst I do like the name [name_f]Gweneth[/name_f] and understand why you are using it, I just don’t think it flows well together (i think its the ‘eh’ sounds in both the names. I would just tweak it a little. Perhaps use [name_f]Gwyneth[/name_f] to soften the flow, or perhaps even Gunievere for a name that honours your grandmother but gives the daughter her own individuality.

It’s only a suggestion though, and the most important thing is that if you love it, it shouldn’t matter what anyone else thinks so long as its not going to harm/embarrass your child :slight_smile:

Thanks for the feedback guys :slight_smile: it emboldened me to hear how much others love the name [name_f]Amoret[/name_f] too. As I said, I know it will be considered very ‘weird’ in my circle and that was starting to put me off a bit… But now I love it all over again :smiley:

11

I think it’s lovely. Congratulations!

[name_m]How[/name_m] I love [name_f]Amoret[/name_f]. :slight_smile: glad to see someone’s using it. [name_f]Amoret[/name_f] [name_f]Gweneth[/name_f] is lovely.

I don’t know anyone with the name [name_f]Amoret[/name_f] but I think it’s lovely! And using [name_f]Gweneth[/name_f] to honour your grandma is perfect. I only have one suggestion, and that is not to ask about/announce your name choice with your family or circle of friends until after her arrival when you expect weird looks or raised eye brows. That is sometimes difficult to deal with and can shake our confidence in our choice. I think you should go for it!

That was my thought too, whitegardenia :slight_smile:

Thanks everyone for the feedback xx
