HelpBA!
Last wednesday our daughter was born. After reviewing all the names that are on this site, we decided on:
Elva Roxanna Philippa
Honouring:
ELVA My mom Petronella "Elly". I initially never wanted to use a FN for honouring, but we liked Elva way too much to use it as a MN.
ROXANNA My husband's mom Anna. Roxanna was the name we liked best that has Anna in it.
PHILIPPA My dad Philippus "Flip".
Opinions are welcome :)
ETA:
the Dutch pronunciation of these names:
EL-vah: rhawk-SAHN-nah: fee-LIP-pah:

Awww, congratulations! That name is simply stunning; I think I'm literally in love with it. (*=.=*)

That is a vibrant name combo. :)
I like when honouring names are alterations of the original rather than outright copies.
Congrats!

All names end the same way, so no flow. Respectfully of course.
None of the names are awful (Roxanna being my favorite, though I do prefer Roxanne over it) I just don't care for the fact that all the names in the combo end with that "uh" sound. And also, that Roxanna & Phillipa are both long names. I think one long name would have been good enough
