Alyssa Gabrielle Odette Perry
Favorites/ flows the best:
1. Alyssa Catherine Odette Perry - by far my favorite. All the names flow and compliment each other as 1 whole name, instead of 4 seperate names. Beautiful!!
2. Alyssa Lena Odette Perry - lovely and rolls off the tongue.
3. Alyssa Alexandra Odette Perry - I’m surprised the 2 A names sound really nice together but doesn’t sound over the top.
So-so: I don’t think any of these sound bad, just don’t flow as well as the first group:
4. Alyssa Gabrielle Odette Perry
5. Alyssa Sophie Odette Perry
6. Alyssa Kaitlyn Odette Perry
7. Alyssa Hannah Odette
8. Alyssa Maree Odette Perry
9. Alyssa Natalie Odette Perr
Least favorite: all lovely names just going off of flow.
10. Alyssa Anastasia Odette Perry - for some reason this does not work as well as Alexandra.
11. Alyssa Serenity Odette Perry - Serenity is already kind of a mouthful name, so I think it’s hard to make it flow with several names.
12. Alyssa Vanessa Odette Perry - the two “SS” names back to back are a bit tricky. Feels like the name is divided in half (Alyssa Vanessa & Odette Perry).
13. Alyssa Elizabeth Odette Perry - Alyssa and Elizabeth blur together and sound too similar out loud.

I'd eliminate Alyssa Alexandra Odette, Alyssa Anastasia Odette and Alyssa Elizabeth Odette: the meeting of -a or O- and A- or E- isn't pleasing. I'd also scrap Alyssa Vanessa Odette, on the grounds of both rhythm and rhyme.
So, the mns that I enjoy should be Catherine, Gabrielle, Kaitlyn and Sophie, except that I don't enjoy Kaitlyn much.
In order of preference: Alyssa Catherine Odette; then Alyssa Sophie Odette; and finally Alyssa Gabrielle Odette.

I like Alyssa Alexandra Odette Perry and Alyssa Natalie Odette Perry the best.
Well, I'll weed things out based on a very petty standard: what the initials spell.
Catherine, Marie, Sophie, Lena And Serenity are all axed, ACOP, AMOP, ASOP and ALOP are not what I'd want for initials.
Alyssa Kaitlyn could work although it's close to ACOP, Alyssa Gabrielle, although AGOP isn't great, I know GOP is a political thing in the States. Alyssa Natalie could work too although ANOP isn't ideal.
Alyssa Hannah with AHOP would be all right. Alyssa Anastasia Odette might be my pick, it's sugary sweet but AAOP doesn't make me think of any words, and I prefer Anastasia because the AL-AL repeated sounds of Alyssa Alexandra rub me the wrong way.
I guess my top picks would be Alyssa Anastasia, Alyssa Hannah, then Alyssa Natalie.

We live in New Zealand and i don't understand what's bad about any of the initials (don't know what they're meant to spell/stand for).
A cop. A mop. A sop. A lop (-eared rabbit). You don't have any of those things in New Zealand? GOP refers to Republicans in the US so that won't apply luckily. I do like Alyssa Gabrielle, it's pretty.
I don't think there is anything wrong with any of those initials.
I'm just throwing it out there. I wouldn't want those initials. If OP doesn't care about initials, then that's fine.
I think Alyssa Alexandra flows well even with all the As.
Alyssa Catherine Odette Perry is my favourite. Each name starts with a unique letter and a distinct sound that flows but doesn't run together. Alyssa Sophie is a close second. There's a balance between the 3 names and it flows with your surname.
Alyssa Gabrielle has too many syllables. It starts to feel like a tongue twister.
Elizabeth sounds too similar to Alyssa, it's like saying the same name twice. Vanessa has the same issue.
Hannah doesn't flow. It's a case of the As tripping over each other.
Alyssa Kaitlyn Odette Perry works. I'm partial to the elegance of Catherine, but Kaitlyn is modern and flows well with the rest of her name.
Lena has the same problem as Hannah.
Alyssa Maree (I assume pronounced like Marie?) is okay, but Maree feels a bit out of place between Alyssa and Odette.
Natalie is again a situation of too many mismatched syllables right on top of each other and turning into a tongue twister. Ditto Serenity.
Congratulations btw :D

Thank you so much. Very helpful name analysis. This kind of feedback makes it easier to narrow down name list.
I really hate the name Odette.
I'd ditch Alyssa Vanessa, Alyssa Sophia, and especially Alyssa Elizabeth. They sound just terrible together.
I'd pick Alyssa Caitlin.

I agree that Alyssa Sophia sounds terrible together, that's why it's not on our list as it does flow or sound right, but Sophie does. We can't use the spelling Caitlin as my cousins name is Cailin, don't normally like changing the spelling of names but Kaitlyn is one of 3 names that we preferred changed.
Thank you Alyssa Kaitlyn Odette is in our top 5.
