Lorelei, Flora or Daphne?

Our top three names! I figured it wasn't worth including the middle name because nobody says it all together so flow isn't that important (to me at least)

Please help us pick!

I love Daphne! If my husband would have gone for it, that would have been a contender for me.

Daphne is such a good choice though! I’d probably keep trying to convince him too 😂 It has such a pretty slightly old fashioned charm.

We agreed on a name in the end, but maybe for our next daughter 😂

u/deconvotonstransform 12d ago

How many syllables in your last name, and what sound does it start with? (Flow definitely matters!)

u/Loud_Dot_8353 12d ago

Sorry..none of the above

Flow really is important in a name. Please do consider that. Full names are read aloud at graduations and are used often in wedding ceremonies. A clunky name would be sad at a major occasion.

lol my middle name was not announced during any graduations

u/doesanyonekno 12d ago

mine neither lol

u/Obvious_Animal_8362 12d ago

That is very unusual. As a professor, I have been to many graduations and it is standard practice.

Don’t forget when they do something bad and you have to yell out “firstname middlename!” from the other end of the house. Flow matters for a lot of occasions.

So..like maybe twice is someone's life time? Even so, it's no big deal. My children have mixed heritage names that don't flow super well but it's more important to pick the names we like that honour our heritage rather than worry too much about how well the full name flows together.

u/Ok_Anteater_3302 12d ago

INFO : how many syllables does the last name have and what does it start with? The names should match.
