We have our names chosen, but I’m not sure how to appropriately hyphenate (or not) two names together. They are two strong family names, but we also would like to use [name_m]Franklin[/name_m].
Or any other suggestions… I know it doesn’t flow wonderfully, but [name_m]Jon[/name_m] is my fathers name, [name_m]John[/name_m] is my FIL’s middle name, and [name_m]Clyde[/name_m] is my grandfather. We’d like to use both but they’re not really our favorites for first name.
Any other first name suggestions that flow well with the middle name [name_m]John[/name_m]-[name_m]Clyde[/name_m]/[name_m]John[/name_m] [name_m]Clyde[/name_m] we are open to hearing!
I like [name_m]Franklin[/name_m] [name_m]John[/name_m]-[name_m]Clyde[/name_m] and [name_m]John[/name_m]-[name_m]Clyde[/name_m] [name_m]Franklin[/name_m]. I think the hyphenated [name_m]John[/name_m]-[name_m]Clyde[/name_m] flows better than [name_m]John[/name_m] [name_m]Clyde[/name_m] without the hyphen. My personal favorite would be [name_m]Franklin[/name_m] [name_m]John[/name_m]-[name_m]Clyde[/name_m] [name_m]Brown[/name_m]. I love the sound of it!
I would choose [name_m]Franklin[/name_m] [name_m]John[/name_m] [name_m]Clyde[/name_m] just for simplicity’s sake. [name_m]Plenty[/name_m] of people have two middle names, and I do think this flows nicely!
I do agree, the way I say it flows [name_m]John[/name_m]-[name_m]Clyde[/name_m] almost as if it were one name, like [name_f]Louanne[/name_f] or [name_f]Rosemarie[/name_f].
I’m glad you like [name_m]Franklin[/name_m] [name_m]John[/name_m]-[name_m]Clyde[/name_m]! I was nervous about them all together
I agree with @ziggy2112. Use your favourite as his first name and give him two middles. He will be known only as [name_m]Franklin[/name_m] [name_m]Brown[/name_m] anyway. I like that you are able to use the honour names that are important to you. Good luck!
I think [name_m]John[/name_m]-[name_m]Clyde[/name_m] [name_m]Franklin[/name_m] or [name_m]John[/name_m] [name_m]Clyde[/name_m] [name_m]Franklin[/name_m] sounds best, but if he’ll go by [name_m]Franklin[/name_m], I think [name_m]Franklin[/name_m] [name_m]John[/name_m] [name_m]Clyde[/name_m] is better. What about [name_m]John[/name_m] [name_m]Franklin[/name_m] [name_m]Clyde[/name_m] or [name_m]John[/name_m]-[name_m]Franklin[/name_m] [name_m]Clyde[/name_m], to separate the one-syllable names? I know of a couple guys who [name_m]John[/name_m] ____ double barrels ([name_m]John[/name_m] [name_u]Micah[/name_u], [name_m]John[/name_m] [name_u]Michael[/name_u], [name_m]John[/name_m] ____, etc.), and some of them go by the second half of the double barrel, so I think [name_m]John[/name_m] [name_m]Franklin[/name_m] “[name_m]Franklin[/name_m]” is pretty cool for a name, honestly. Maybe that’s just me, though? I think [name_m]John[/name_m]-[name_m]Clyde[/name_m] [name_m]Franklin[/name_m] is equally cool, too, but if you want to use [name_m]Franklin[/name_m], I’d try to get him up closer to the front of the combo, but that’s just me.
I like [name_m]Franklin[/name_m] [name_m]John[/name_m] [name_m]Clyde[/name_m]
[name_m]Franklin[/name_m] being the first name
My reasoning is [name_m]John[/name_m] clues sounds and looks better in the middle, both monosyllabic names are difficult, I can imagine as a child always saying I’m
[name_m]John[/name_m] [name_m]Clyde[/name_m] … Likely he would end up just being hong and you’re correct in noting the two names stick together. For that and other reasons I don’t think you need they hyphen. Putting the namesakes in the middle spot just makes sense plus the name you’re choosing because you just like it as the first name is a good idea.
I love [name_m]John[/name_m] [name_m]Clyde[/name_m] as a double name, but if [name_m]Franklin[/name_m] is your favorite I would go with [name_m]Franklin[/name_m] [name_m]John[/name_m] [name_m]Clyde[/name_m].
[name_m]Franklin[/name_m] [name_m]John[/name_m] [name_m]Clyde[/name_m] looks the best and sounds the best. For simplicity drop the hyphen. To,me hyphens are only used for last names.
