[Opinions] Does this sound bad with surname?
I am decided on a girl first name (Josefina) and struggling with a middle name because my daughter is insisting on it being a flower name, which limits things. The combination I’m going back and forth on is Josefina Jasmine Hopkins. The middle and last name both have the -in -ins endings and I’m not sure if that disrupts the flow or sounds obnoxious. Let me know your opinion!

Personally I’d prefer a different flower, just so the fn and mn don’t start with the same letter. Josefina Jasmine is alright though. Some other suggestions are Josefina Lily, Josefina Lilac, Josefina Poppy, Josefina Iris, Josefina Ivy, Josefina Rose, Josefina Daisy, Josefina Daphne, Josefina Blossom, Josefina Violet, Josefina Marigold and Josefina Bluebell.Edited to remove Holly. Don’t like the double H names.

Thank you! I’ve decided I can’t handle the -in -ins endings together so I am now moving on to Holly.
I guess the only thing with Holly, is that then you have double H names. Josefina Lily Hopkins, Josefina Daisy Hopkins and Josefina Marigold Hopkins are my faves.
Aw, it's cute! I like it.
I think it's alright.
I think they are fine
The flow and the sound are both fine. Go for it!
Josefina Jasmine Hopkins sounds fine.
I think that it sounds perfectly okay!
It sounds all right.
But why is the older child being allowed to dictate her sister's middle name? Why not give her two or three of your choosing to pick one from?
