We’ve narrowed, tweaked and otherwise revised our short list. We’re fairly set on [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f] or [name_u]Clare[/name_u] as a first and here’s a list of combos we like best. Tell me what you think!
[name_f]Rosemary[/name_f] [name_f]Alida[/name_f]
[name_f]Rosemary[/name_f] [name_f]Luz[/name_f]
[name_f]Rosemary[/name_f] [name_u]Clare[/name_u] (we really like, but does it sound too much like eclair???)
[name_u]Clare[/name_u] [name_f]Avani[/name_f]
[name_u]Clare[/name_u] [name_f]Helena[/name_f]
I didn’t use to like [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f], but now I love it! Partly for its classic-ness and it also has great nn options, which is a huge plus for me.
As far as middle names go, I like [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f] [name_f]Claire[/name_f] the best. And no, I did not think eclair when I heard that!!!
I saw the middle name [name_f]Luz[/name_f] you had…while I don’t like [name_f]Luz[/name_f] for a middle (unless its a family name, in that case, sorry)…it had me thinking of “[name_m]Luck[/name_m]” as a middle… Random I know! But [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f] [name_m]Luck[/name_m] sounds really cool to me!!!
[name_m]Just[/name_m] my opinion, best of “luck”
I seriously think that you can’t go wrong. They are both beautiful choices, and I see why you can’t decide. If I were you, I would take the whole see-her-and-decide approach, but I know others like concrete decisions made before the birth. Your middles are beautiful, and rather than look at flow, I would pick the middle with the most significance to you. All things being equal, [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f] [name_f]Alida[/name_f] and [name_u]Clare[/name_u] [name_f]Avani[/name_f] are the stand-out names to me.
[name_f]Rosemary[/name_f] [name_u]Clare[/name_u] does sort of run together, but not horribly. If you love it, use it! I think [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f] [name_f]Alida[/name_f] is the top pick out of your choices for me though,
I think [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f] [name_f]Alida[/name_f] is the stand out name from your list for me. [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f] [name_u]Clare[/name_u] does run together a bit but I still like it, and if you love it, I’d say go for it
[name_f]Rosemary[/name_f] [name_u]Clare[/name_u] makes me think of [name_f]Marie[/name_f] [name_f]Claire[/name_f].
I do like both names separately but not so much together.
Of your combos I only really like 3 of them,
[name_f]Rosemary[/name_f] [name_f]Alida[/name_f]
[name_u]Clare[/name_u] [name_f]Aviva[/name_f]
& [name_u]Clare[/name_u] [name_f]Helena[/name_f].
