HelpHow would you..?
I’m reading a book where the main character’s name starts and ends with the same letter as their grandfather’s. name. Applying this to your own name, which name would you choose for yourself? What about for your son and daughter?
E.g. Grandmother is Elizabeth - starting with the letter E, ending with the letter H - you name could be Emmaleigh, Edith, Eulah etc
E.g. Your father’s name is Jonas Christian - starting with the letter J/C, ending with the letter S/N - your son’s name
could be Jens Caden, Julius Carsten, James Calvin etc
E.g Your mother’s name is Anne-Marie (double name) - you daughter’s name could be Alice-Mable or Addie-Mae

The letters from my grandma's name are E-e K-e, so I'd probably go with Evangeline Kate for myself. I don't like most of the nns for Evangeline, but otherwise I'd be fine with it as a name.
My mom really isn't giving me many options with J and y for the first name. Her middle name gives me H-r, and since I already wouldn't name my daughter Journey, I just had fun with it - Journey Honor
My dad gives me J-y E-n for the first name. I landed on Jeffery Emilian for a son. I could see myself using that one.

My paternal grandmother is Rivanna ("Rih-VANN-nuh". I love her name, and would totally use it on a daughter...if not Vanessa): I'd use Rebecca, Rina, Roxanna, or maybe Rosina. Not sharing her middle name for privacy reasons.
My maternal grandmother was Vivian Louise: The best I can come up with is Veann Lucille, for a daughter. For myself, the best I can come up with is Vallen Lee (I really dislike this, lmao. It even sounds like the word "Valley". I just refuse to use the name Van).
My maternal grandfather was Jesse Eugene. For a daughter, Julie Estelle.
I can't come up with any boy names with these, really, haha. Fun challenge!

My grandma’s name is Constance Mae. For myself, I would choose Celeste Mirabelle.
My mom’s name is Heidi Renee. For my daughter, I would choose Harmoni Rose.
My dad’s name is Gary Mitchell. For my son, I would choose Grady Maxwell.
…my parents’ first names didn’t leave many good options.

Philippa Mae (or, if it actually has to be a different name, Philippa Madeleine)

Me: Kristen
Son: Morlow(dislike, but I couldn’t think of anything besides Matthew, which is my dad’s name).
Daughter: Rhiannon(don’t love it, but it’s the best I got)

My grandmother was Karin. I would probably choose Kaitlyn or Katrin for myself. I don't like many K names. Kiran and Keelin are alright as well.
Using my other grandmother's name, Rachael, I'd probably choose Rosabel. Rachel is already my middle name.
For a son and daughter, my parents' names both start with S and end with -n and -a respectively.
Sebastian & Seraphina
Soren & Sienna
Solomon & Sibylla
Samson & Sophia

Very few options for me to pick from because of that letters my grandmothers names starts/ends with. I guess I'd go with Bet or Bridget, maybe Bridget nn Bet? I don't like either one of them though. Using my other grandmother's name leaves me with Sparrow.
My father's name starts with P and ends with R. The best option is Parker, or Potter using my nerdy side.
As for a daughter; Caelia, Clea, Cassandra, Clara? For a real life daughter I'd go with Clara.

Evander Wisdom
I didn't even think of Evander! I was wracking my brain and couldn't come up with anything.
It's a cool idea. I would be honored to have Everly Audrey as my granddaughter.
Both my grandfathers were Thomas. Tessa Suzanne; Trevor Stephen
Telemachus or Theodosius would be cool names to fit the pattern and honor Thomas.
grandmother = Esther May - Ember Melody, Eleanor Mallory (And I almost fit the pattern because my name is Emma May)
mother = Theresa Marcella - Talitha Meiriona, Tamora Mirabel, Tarja Menodora, Theodora Matea, Tiberia Maya, Thora Morgana
father = Robert Allan - Rolant Aurelien, Rolant Auberon, Rahat Aneirin, Rembrandt Alden

I would keep my name Anastasiya. I have a grandmother who was named Artemiziya, so I could still use my current name.
For my children: My parents are named Semen and Zhanna. There's no other names where I live that start and end with the same letter in the alphabet we use that I like other than Zhanna so Zhanna I guess? If we're going by English alphabet, Zoreslava or Zoryana. For my father's name adaptation, Stepan.
