[Opinions] Re: Short or long middle names
in reply to a message by Edwin
It mostly depends on the length of the first name. For example, I like Ezra King because its short, each name has two syllables and it flows well.
Alexander might need a two syllable MN because it is long enough on its own - its just 3 syllables but it feels long to me for some reason. Maybe because it was a king's name? The last name also matters. Alexander Keaton might sound good as is, but what Alexander Jack Keaton, Alexander Sebastian Keaton? It feels like a mouth full. I don't have a conscious rule about making combos. I usually don't consider a LN. Unless, the OP brought it up.https://youtube.com/@MarioDrama632 or

How do you pronounce Alexander if it's got 3 syllables? I'm also very confused over the 2 syllable King?
One question
How does King have 2 syllables?
Emphasizing the G? (I don't know, I'm trying.)
