Uh Oh, "Vowel Run-on"

Girl Names

[name]Hi[/name], Berries.

My 8 month old daughter is named [name]Alice[/name] [name]Cordelia[/name] [name]Emery[/name]. Sometimes I still have doubts about our choice! I have no intention to change her name, I’m simply curious to hear your thoughts on this matter.

Vowel run-on: How First / Middle / Last Names Can Play Nice Together

Does [name]Alice[/name] [name]Cordelia[/name] [name]Emery[/name] have good flow? Does [name]Alice[/name] [name]Emery[/name] blend together too much? Did we commit vowel run-on in a bad way?

Looking forward to your replies!

[name]Cordelia[/name] ends with a different sound than what sound [name]Emery[/name] begins with, so it doesn’t run together in a way that, let’s say, [name]Amelia[/name] [name]Alice[/name] would. It’s a beautiful combo, I wouldn’t change it.

It’s not an over the moon fantastically flowing combo, but it’s not bad. I actually really like [name]Alice[/name] [name]Emery[/name]–it has a lovely sound.
[name]Alice[/name] [name]Cordelia[/name] [name]Emery[/name] has different enough cadence that I think it’s works okay.
What might have been a tad better is a 1 or 2 syllable final name: [name]Alice[/name] [name]Cordelia[/name] [name]Mae[/name], [name]Alice[/name] [name]Cordelia[/name] [name]Maisy[/name], [name]Alice[/name] [name]Cordelia[/name] [name]Eve[/name], [name]Alice[/name] [name]Cordelia[/name] [name]Ember[/name]

Interesting feedback! [name]Emery[/name] is the last name, so I’m glad you like [name]Alice[/name] [name]Emery[/name]!

Oh! I thought from the link you posted with all the double middles that it was a second mn. [name]Even[/name] better. Then I love it!

6

Oh, yay! I’m happy to hear that!

[name]Love[/name] it it sounds fine

Gorgeous name! I wouldn’t worry about it. It sounds fine.

Excellent. Thanks for the replies. [name]Man[/name], THE PARADOX OF CHOICE when it comes to baby naming can really come back to haunt a person!

[name]Alice[/name] ends in an S sound, so it doesn’t smoosh an E sound at all. It just rolls off the tongue more easily when you say her name. [name]Alice[/name] [name]Cordelia[/name] [name]Emery[/name] is a lovely name.

[name]Alice[/name] [name]Cordelia[/name] is a little clunky, but not bad. They’re both great names and [name]Alice[/name] [name]Emery[/name] is perfection. You don’t have anything to worry about. You have a beautifully named little girl!

I think it’s a great name! You don’t really have “vowel run-on” happening. [name]Alice[/name] [name]Cordelia[/name] [name]Emery[/name] is lovely :slight_smile:

14

I agree -I think [name]Alice[/name] [name]Emery[/name] is great. She will also have a fun nickname with her initials, [name]ACE[/name]!

15

I think you chose an A.C.E. of a name! If she’s as sweet as her name, you are lucky parents!

[name]Alice[/name] [name]Emery[/name] and [name]Alice[/name] [name]Cordelia[/name] are both fabulous! Your daughter has a lovely name.

TBH, I didn’t read the article – just going on instinct here: [name]Alice[/name] [name]Cordelia[/name] and [name]Alice[/name] [name]Emery[/name] both sound amazing and gorgeous!!! I can’t find anything at all to dislike about these combos. [name]Just[/name] gorgeous!!! Fantastic naming, if you don’t mind my saying. :slight_smile:

Oh my goodness, I [name]JUST[/name] realized there was a whole second page of comments that I hadn’t read before posting ‘Thank you!’. Yeesh. I’m excited to read them now. Heh.
