hi, I like the name combo “[name_f]Della[/name_f] [name_f]Anisa[/name_f]”, but when I repeat the two names it sounds like i’m saying “Dellanisa” (della-nisa)
so my question is should I stick with
“[name_f]Della[/name_f] [name_f]Anisa[/name_f]” or “Dellanisa + middle name” maybe Dellanisa sounds too made up?
[name_f]Della[/name_f] is lovely, but often an a ending first and an a beginning middle will blur into each other unfortunately
I wouldn’t do Dellanisa - it feels made up - but equally, I’d consider how often you’ll actually be saying them together-if it’s not all that often, it may not be a problem that they blend a little. (I personally think it sounds fine tbh)
Alternatively, you could put another middle name between them - [name_f]Della[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Anisa[/name_f] or [name_f]Della[/name_f] [name_f]Jade[/name_f] [name_f]Anisa[/name_f], just for examples, or perhapa you xoud even use a longer/different form of [name_f]Della[/name_f] - [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f] [name_f]Anisa[/name_f] ‘[name_f]Della[/name_f]’, [name_f]Adeline[/name_f] [name_f]Anisa[/name_f] ‘[name_f]Della[/name_f]’, [name_f]Madeline[/name_f] [name_f]Anisa[/name_f] ‘[name_f]Della[/name_f]’, [name_u]Delaney[/name_u] [name_f]Anisa[/name_f] ‘[name_f]Della[/name_f]’, [name_f]Danielle[/name_f] [name_f]Anisa[/name_f] ‘[name_f]Della[/name_f]’…
But I think [name_f]Della[/name_f] [name_f]Anisa[/name_f] could probably work
They do run together but you won’t often say them together. Adding a middle between them as suggested above is a great suggestion. I wouldn’t combine them, it does look made up, but also the emphasis gets sort of confused as well: is it [name_u]Dell[/name_u]-anisa or [name_f]Della[/name_f]-nisa or [name_f]Dellan[/name_f]-isa? You know what I mean? You could hyphenate, but that may get messy as well, although you’d have a better chance at keeping the pronunciation. [name_f]Della[/name_f] [name_f]Anisa[/name_f] or [name_f]Della[/name_f] x [name_f]Anisa[/name_f] would be your best options, imo.
[name_f]Della[/name_f] [name_u]Blair[/name_u] [name_f]Anisa[/name_f]
[name_f]Della[/name_f] [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] [name_f]Anisa[/name_f]
[name_f]Della[/name_f] [name_f]Faye[/name_f] [name_f]Anisa[/name_f]
[name_f]Della[/name_f] [name_f]Romilly[/name_f] [name_f]Anisa[/name_f]
[name_f]Della[/name_f] [name_f]Pearl[/name_f] [name_f]Anisa[/name_f]
[name_f]Della[/name_f] [name_f]Guinevere[/name_f] [name_f]Anisa[/name_f]
[name_f]Della[/name_f] [name_f]Imogen[/name_f] [name_f]Anisa[/name_f]
[name_f]Della[/name_f] [name_u]Juniper[/name_u] [name_f]Anisa[/name_f]
Or just [name_f]Della[/name_f] [name_f]Anisa[/name_f], if you’d prefer.
I definitely prefer [name_f]Della[/name_f] to Dellanisa. It’s much simpler, sweeter and more streamlined. A lovely choice!
Adding a second middle is a nice suggestion, and I especially love the flow of single-syllable names like [name_f]Rose[/name_f] and [name_f]Pearl[/name_f], as suggested above.
