[Opinions] Re: twin girls, due in May
in reply to a message by Gina
Double mns, to me, sound clunky and pretentious. Overall, that's my problem with these combos. They sound like they are trying too hard. I can handle double mns when there is some reason for them, like a need to use too namesake names. But these combos mostly sound like namophile pretension.Lilia Sierra Isis -- I like Lilia and Sierra, but Isis is a bit dramatic for me.
Yesenia Sienna Xavia -- Lots of "ee-a" sounds there, a bit sing-song repetitive. Otherwise like the individual names.
Arielle Samara Willow -- My favorite of your combos. It seems the most humble, but it's still unique.
Hazelle Amaya Sage -- I don't like the sound of Hazelle. Amaya Sage sounds like the question "am I a sage?"
Zahara Londra Johnna -- Practically a list of place names. Zahara makes me think of the Sahara (and Angelina Jolie), Londra of Londer, and Johnna, since it follows the two others, of Johannesburg.
Zariah Asia India -- Asia India listed together is very weird. I feel like the first name should be Europe. Or North America. Zariah is nice though, with a different mn.

In correctionafter seeing your other post that listing these as combos was a mistake...Individually, I like many of your choices. They are pretty, uncommon names, with lots of personality to them. :)Lilia - Pretty
Sierra - A bit trendy sounding, but I do like it. Make me think of the mountains.
Isis - Not a fan of this. Goddess names are a bit much imo.
Yesenia - Pretty
Sienna - I prefer Sierra myself.
Xavia - Nice
Arielle - Love
Samara - It's ok, but I like many of your others better.
Willow - A very passive meek name imo. I don't care for it.
Hazelle - I'm saying this huh-ZELLE? Like "Huzzah!" If it is supposed to be Hazel, I totally missed that.
Amaya - Like the look of it, but dislike how it sounds like a question. Prefer just Maya.
Sage - Nice
Zahara - I'm not sure I would've cared for it anyway, but with the whole Angelina association, now I really dislike it (though her baby with the name is gorgeous!)
Londra - Ok
Johnna - Ok
Zariah - Nice
Asia - Don't really like this as a name.
India - Better, but don't like much more than Asia. I'd go with Yesenia and Arielle, or Xavia and Lilia.
