Hello! I am due at the beginning if July and having a little girl. Our last name is Charles and our son’s name is Cooper Harrison Charles. Honoring a Jewish naming tradition, Harrison is meant to honor his great grandfather, Herbert. We used the “H” to honor a living relative. We are planning for baby girl to be Carrington “S middle name” Charles. The S middle name is after my mom, Shari and her namesake, Sarah. We are having a really hard time finding an S name that flows. HELP!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
<\/p>\n
I said the first and last names out loud a few times, and the rhythm that appeals to me most is a 3-syllable middle name:<\/p>\n
Carrington Samantha Charles
\nCarrington Savannah Charles
\nCarrington Selina Charles
\nCarrington Serena Charles
\nCarrington Sienna Charles
\nCarrington Silvia Charles
\nCarrington Sofia Charles<\/p>\n
I also like Carrington Simone Charles.<\/p>\n
If I were choosing, I would probably choose Carrington Sofia. I like the relative shortness of Sofia compared to other 3-syllable names, and I like the emphasis on the second syllable, and I just like the sound of it overall. I also like the mix of styles: Sofia is regal-sounding like Carrington, but also much more feminine and common. And if Carrington is ever shortened to Carrie or Cara, I think Carrie\/Cara Sofia is fun to say.<\/p>\n
But preferred name rhythms are so subjective. What does everyone else like for flow here?<\/p>\n
