Which name do you think flows the best?

natiebird · August 2010

DH and I have decided to name our baby Norah if she's a girl (we are team green). We do have Rose picked as a back up name in case that suits her more when we meet her.

Our last name is four syllables and starts with N. We've narrowed it down to three middle names but are having troubles deciding. Which name do you think flows the best?

Norah Ophelia (DH's late grandmothers name)

Norah Kathleen (My grandmothers name)

Norah Leona (The feminine version of DH's name)

Thanks!

Kathleen. I don't like the sound of both names ending in "a"

Norah Kathleen. Love Kathleen.

Norah Ophelia is my favorite, but I have an almost inappropriate love for 'Ophelia,' so I think I'm biased. Even I will admit, that Norah Kathleen is really a beautiful, timeless name.

Norah Kathleen -- Your great-grandmother had good taste!

I like Norah Kathleen.

Thanks for all the responses. I adore the way Norah Ophelia looks written but it's true, Kathleen does flow the nicest.

Oh my goodness! Norah Ophelia is just a breathtaking name!!!

Everyone is right that Kathleen flows best... Maybe save Ophelia away for next baby?

Leona. I like that it's after DH and it's different and pretty!

Isn't it?! I just love how the two H's look together! If LO is a girl and Norah doesn't fit I think her name will definitely be Rose Ophelia. Or maybe DD #2 if it works that way. Glad someone here loves Ophelia as much as I do, it's such a pretty underused name IMO.

kathleen for sure. the other two don't flow well and i think kathleen is really pretty. i'm not a fan of the n ending with an N last name but i still prefer it to the others.

I LOVE Ophelia, but it just sounds silly with Norah to me.

I vote for Kathleen.
