Too many word names?

Name Advice
1

So this is purely hypothetical, as I’m only 14 and not planing on having children anytime soon. I am just planning out the names of my future kids :slight_smile:

So my top three girls names, first and middle, are as follows:

  1. [name_f]Clara[/name_f] [name_f]Lily[/name_f]
  2. [name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Madeleine[/name_f]
  3. [name_f]Belle[/name_f] [name_f]Elena[/name_f]

My middles all have significance, I’m not worrying about those right now. I chose the first names simply because I love timeless, shorter, beautiful, simple names.

My problem is that with this top three list you end up with sisters [name_f]Rose[/name_f] and [name_f]Belle[/name_f]. Does having these two one-syllable word names right next to each other look matchy, purposeful and tacky? I need opinions!!
Thanks!! :slight_smile:
Oh, and opinions on the names (any part of them; firsts, middles, the flow of the combos, etc.) are always welcome! :slight_smile:

Not tacky at all. I think they work well together.

I don’t want to be rude, but yes, tacky!!

I love word names, but I think once you get more than two it wrecks the beauty.

My rule is only one word between the whole name of the child, and only one child with a word first name.

Middle names among siblings, however, go all out.

[name_f]Clara[/name_f] [name_f]Lily[/name_f] is beautiful. I’m not in love with [name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Madeleine[/name_f] but its still nice. [name_f]Belle[/name_f] [name_f]Elena[/name_f] is my least favorite, but I adore [name_f]Elena[/name_f]. The cadence feels off, [name_f]Belle[/name_f] is a hard one to pair a middle name with.

I personally wouldn’t name sisters [name_f]Clara[/name_f] & [name_f]Belle[/name_f], sounds like you’re trying to make [name_f]Clarabelle[/name_f] to me. Maybe its just that I knew someone named that.

I think [name_f]Marie[/name_f] would substitute [name_f]Belle[/name_f] nicely.

I do like your flow though, the R’s and L’s :slight_smile:

I don’t see anything wrong with your names. They’re all very pretty. My favorite Is [name_f]Clara[/name_f] [name_f]Lily[/name_f]. [name_f]Clara[/name_f] and [name_f]Lily[/name_f] aren’t my favorite names, thery are ok, but together is awesome.
[name_f]Belle[/name_f] is one of my favorite one syllable vintage antique names for girls. [name_f]Belle[/name_f] reminds me of [name_u]Joyce[/name_u], [name_f]Joy[/name_f], [name_f]Ada[/name_f], [name_f]Eve[/name_f], [name_f]Eva[/name_f], [name_f]Ruth[/name_f], [name_f]Mae[/name_f], [name_u]Kay[/name_u], and [name_f]Dawn[/name_f]. [name_f]Dawn[/name_f] is more the sixties seventiess, but [name_f]Belle[/name_f] reminds me of those shorter names.

I actually think that if you use [name_f]Rose[/name_f] and [name_f]Belle[/name_f] that your third name should also be a word name. I think [name_f]Clara[/name_f] might feel left out. I also don’t love the combo of [name_f]Belle[/name_f] [name_f]Elena[/name_f]. When pronounced out loud, the names end up running together.
