Really? I like the flow a lot. I like a lot of alliteration (Minerva Maria Cecilia, Cordelia Tippins Thomasina). Splitting it up makes it like half a name for me. Thanks tho.

Yeah I didn't like Cornelius and Cornelia for ages, mostly because of the corn. :P Lately though my view of it has changed from corn-elius to cor-nelius. ...Hm. What a difference.

Thanks!

It's not the alliteration - I have a hard time saying Tarquin Lapis. It doesn't fit together very well, in my opinion. I think Lapis Lazuli is fine together, if not my style. I'd like the flow better with a different name, I think.

Hm! That is odd that Lazuli should be easier than Lapis. :P
I would be interested in suggestions for other FNs for Lapis Lazuli! I have a hard time thinking of them.

Another first name - maybe something like Octavian? Oh, or what about Vespasian, since someone mentioned that yesterday? I feel like it needs to be a more over-the-top style name, as Matthew Lapis Lazuli would just look odd. Maybe Constantine? Ignatius? Greek and Roman inspired names seem to work with the vibe.
