2 syllables?

I'm not asking your opinion on the names.

Marlowe Etta Proudly (not real last name)

Do these names flow together?

I think you need a middle name that doesn't start with a vowel.

It doesn't roll off the tongue easily for me it's not an issue of it being a vowel though to me because example Marlow Elaine flows fine to be. I just think they both are a bit harsher of names so combined it's not great. Etta in general is hard in the middle I think.

This. I might go with a middle name that's a bit longer to round out the flow.

ETA: I hit enter too soon.

I think a single syllable first name would sound with the last name. Also agree that the middle name shouldn't begin with a vowel.

Because Etta is used as a feminine ending on names, it sounds like Marlowetta instead of Marlow Etta.

I also think the first and middle names and up sounding like one word..."Marlowetta"

Off topic: Is the E on the end on purpose?
And personally- people aren't going to be calling her Marlow Etta Proudly all her life and mashing them together. So if you like it, go for it.

This. Nothing wrong with either name, but the flow is weird.

I think they work together nicely. Since the sound is low, the e in Etta is fine. It isn't two of the same sounds blending together.

I agree but it's not unpleasant to hear or awkward to say. If you're ok with this (because it's accurate) then keep it.

The flow is a little off (it blends into Wetta) but I don't think that's a deal breaker.

It's fine. Not like Lucy Mae where you might use the middle name routinely. The only time we usually use middle names is when someone's in a lot of trouble or when Comcast customer service is being dicks and absolutely *has* to make sure I'm the actual account owner, apparently...
