Re: Alyssa, Clarissa & Madeleine (post 1\3)
in reply to a message by Danno
Just going through and marking down ones I think don't flow well (many of these probably depend on a surname:
Pronunciation:
Gabrielle Alyssa (the el-al transition between them trips me up)
Clarissa Eleanor (the ending in a vowel/beginning the next word with a vowel)
Names:
Clarissa Jodie (feel like very different names to me-Clarissa is very formal where Jodie is more nickname-y)
Clarissa Bonnie (same as Clarissa Jodie, not as bad)
Heather Madeleine (this sounds weird to me and I have no idea why)
Standouts (ones that flow really well to my ears)
Alyssa Jane
Clarissa Jane
Clarissa Mae
Clarissa Margaret
Clarissa Paige
Madeleine Claire
Madeleine Greta
Audrey Madeleine
Tessa Madeleine
