Re: Elsa
in reply to a message by Lily8
I've met two Elsas (one in her early twenties, the other in her late forties), and I don't think it's old-fashioned at all. It's a nice name, but not one I'd ever consider for a future daughter; it doesn't appeal to me that much. I like the family significance it holds in your case, though.I don't like Noah for a girl (only Noa - weird, I know), but the combo is nice enough. As for the sibset, I think Estella (which I really like) and Elsa Noelle are too similar sound-wise. Have you considered Estrella rather than Estella?

Yes, but I don't like Estrella nearly as much.Hmm the thing is that they'd be Noah ESTELLA AND ELSA Noelle so it's not only the similarity of Estella and Elsa but also that of Noah and Noelle.But they'd be called Noah and Elsa so I wonder if that even matters or not.It would be like Kayley Rose and Roseanna Hayley or something. I don't know if that's bad or not. On the one hand they'd just be Kayley and Roseanna (or Noah and Elsa) which aren't similar at all.Hmm just wondering what I should do because I really love Noelle and Estella. It's not that I'm throwing them in because I can't think of anything better it's that I really love them and their meanings as well.

How do you think the names sound together? Picture yourself screaming them at a birthday party or supermarket. By the way, have you considered two-middle name combos? I know some people don't like them, but sometimes I find they help balance out the name. Like, say, Noah Estella Rose and Elsa Noelle Jane - suddenly they don't look or sound so similar anymore. This is just my opinion, of course.

Hmm the thing is I doubt I will ever scream their full names in a supermarket ;)Oh you're right. They really don't sound alike anymore when you add a name. Thanks!! I guess I'll work on some two middle name combos :) :)Noah Estella Rain and Elsa Catherine Noelle? I'll make a list :D

Glad I could help (; Oh, and both combos sound lovely. For some reason the short FN - long MN - short MN sequence seems to work better than its opposite.
