[Opinions] Re: Middle Name For Declan
in reply to a message by CJ
My top 3 for Declan ___ John:
1. William
2. Sebastian
3. Matthew -I love Leonardo but it might be too long and awkward with the L following the "lan" syllable in Declan.
-Declan Matthew John is good, it's simple and flows well and it sounds more friendly than Declan Henry John.
-I wouldn't put Nicholas right after a name with n and the end.
-Declan Samuel John is okay, it's not as easy to say as Declan Matthew John but it's a similar pattern. Samuel is a bit mealy.
-Declan Sebastian John is really good, Sebastian is long but not too long IMO and I like the style that it brings to the full name. Sebastian makes sense as a counterpart to Jacqueline.
-Declan William John is probably my favorite. It's easy to say, the style is good, and the full name fits well with the sister's full name. It's not as fancy and long as Sebsatian, but it's a little fancier and more interesting than Matthew and Samuel.
