HelpRe: Heath
in reply to a message by Claire
I don't usually respond to posts asking for middle names, because I'm no good at combos, but I'm responding to this one to say Heath Evander! Mainly because I love Evander and I think it should be used wherever and whenever possible. But it is unusual, and it does go well with Heath, since Heath is one syllable and sounds best with an at-least-three syllable middle name. The two names are quite different in style, admittedly.

I first heard of it because it's the name of a boxer, Evander Holyfield. Now I think he's sexy, but some people think he's obnoxious and annoying. But even if you were to agree with that, I hope that wouldn't put you off the name, because it's a great one!

Well, in all honesty, I don't really care for Noah Beau. I don't like Beau much to begin with, and Noah Beau is too heavy in the long O sound, in my opinion. I like the idea of a middle name beginning with J to be paired with Noah. I think a long name that starts with a J. I will give it some thought and get back to you.

I think that Heath and Thea would be fine as a sibset. Sure, one ends in the TH sound and the other begins with it, but I don't think that that's an impediment.

Well, I still like mine best, but Evander is a good call too. :o)

Funny that you suggested Heath Amadeus and meena suggested Heath Leonidas, because my grandson's name is Leonidas, and at one time my son-in-law was pushing for his middle name to be Amadeus, but my daughter didn't like the way that Leonidas and Amadeus sounded together--both being long names and ending in the same sound. Heath Leonidas and Heath Amadeus are both great.

I'm with your daughter. Both are great names, but Leonidas Amadeus might have been a little much. :o)
