HelpRe: Quick you say, you think
in reply to a message by AET
These are my children, Jasper Vincent Archer Smith and Naomi Victoria Megan Smith "Jasper and Naomi".
You say: Hi, Jasper. Hi, Naomi.
You think: What a mouthful! It's not too bad, and they're all nice names, but it's a little much all together. Why not leave it as Jasper Vincent (or Vincent Archer) and Naomi Victoria? Jasper and Archer in the same combo has a little too much of the "-er" ending anyway, and Megan just doesn't seem to fit with Naomi and Victoria (or her brother's names)--it's too trendy and boring to fit.
These are my children, Joel Ezra Thaddeus Smith and Margot Victoria Eve Smith "Joel and Maggie".
You say: Hi, Joel and Maggie.
You think: Wow, the rhythm in Joel's name is great! JO-ul EZ-rah THAD-ee-us Smith. I don't know about Maggie's though...Eve kind of gets swallowed up between Victoria and Smith--or mashed up against Smith, which is worse. Eve Margot Victoria Smith (EVE mar-GO vic-TOR-ee-ah smith) would flow better (though the rhythm would be awfully similar to her brother's). Still, it's not bad.
