I am still working through various options for our already named little girl.
Which do you honestly prefer:
[name_f]Zoe[/name_f] [name_f]Anna[/name_f] or [name_f]Lauren[/name_f] [name_f]Anna[/name_f]?
Does one sound more professional over the other? I am trying to see her as an adult as well.
This process has been so hard. Thank you for your continued help:)
I personally prefer [name_f]Lauren[/name_f] over [name_f]Zoe[/name_f] but I think they’re both nice and I can picture either one on an adult, professional woman.
I also personally prefer [name_f]Lauren[/name_f]…but [name_f]Lauren[/name_f] [name_f]Anna[/name_f] is a bit n heavy for me. [name_f]Zoe[/name_f] doesn’t age as well for me, but it’s still a fine name.
[name_f]Zoe[/name_f] doesn’t age as nicely as [name_f]Lauren[/name_f] in my opinion.
[name_f]Zoe[/name_f] [name_f]Anna[/name_f] 100%! I’ve known multiple middle-aged Zoes, and they wear it incredibly gracefully. I know one argument against [name_f]Zoe[/name_f] has been its youthfulness, but I could see a [name_f]Zoe[/name_f] of any age, full of grace, charm, and strength. [name_f]Zoe[/name_f] originated as a name for an empress from Turkey, I believe, early in the twelfth or fourteenth century (I can’t remember which!), and it has such international use–plus it has such a great meaning, “life”! I’m not sure I could say enough good things about [name_f]Zoe[/name_f], honestly.
[name_f]Lauren[/name_f] is a lovely name, but I’m not terribly keen on much Laur-/Lor- names.
Plus, I just love saying [name_f]Zoe[/name_f] [name_f]Anna[/name_f]. It is such a gorgeous name!
Good luck!
Ooh tough choice I really like both. I think [name_f]Lauren[/name_f] [name_f]Anna[/name_f] just takes the lead though… Both [name_f]Lauren[/name_f] and [name_f]Zoe[/name_f] are great names however with [name_f]Anna[/name_f], [name_f]Lauren[/name_f] seems to flow best
I prefer [name_f]Zoe[/name_f] [name_f]Anna[/name_f].
I have also thought about it potentially not aging well when considering [name_f]Zoe[/name_f] in the past. However, in 15-20 years [name_f]Zoe[/name_f] will be along side other [name_f]Zoe[/name_f] and [name_f]Zoey[/name_f]'s, [name_f]Mia[/name_f], [name_f]Sadie[/name_f], [name_u]Genesis[/name_u], [name_f]Bella[/name_f], and [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] to name a few. Perhaps compared to the names in your generation [name_f]Zoe[/name_f] sounds a bit juvenile, but by the time she is there I do not think it will be an issue.
I like [name_f]Lauren[/name_f] better but I think [name_f]Lauren[/name_f] [name_f]Anna[/name_f] is too full of ‘n’ for my taste. I also like [name_f]Zoe[/name_f] and think [name_f]Zoe[/name_f] [name_f]Anna[/name_f] looks beautiful on paper and sounds the same way when you say it aloud. Maybe we talk about [name_f]Zoe[/name_f] not aging well because our middle aged women are named [name_f]Jennifer[/name_f], [name_f]Jessica[/name_f] or [name_f]Sarah[/name_f]. But in 20 years, [name_f]Zoe[/name_f] would be as “adult” as [name_f]Sarah[/name_f] is now.
