Another reason no "er" names for us!

Our LN is Fowler, and I have a big hang up on FN's ending in "er" because I hate the way it sounds, but just realized a friend's daughter's whole name-Janelle Bell.  I had said her 1st name, but not FN and LN together (she is 2 months old).

    Whenever I hear Fowler, I think of Lila Fowler from the Sweet Valley High books. 

    Sorry, that's really random and has nothing to do with your post!

    Yeah, I know what you mean...one-syllable names are out for us. I think it's tougher for you though since ER endings are very popular right now.

    And for random, Fowler makes reminds me of Chicken Run. :)

    Totally!

    But I know what you mean.  I don't want to use any name that ends in -en or that sound because our last name does, too.  Which is unfortunate because it rules out a ton of great names.

    Our friends named their son Colby Jacoby.  

    I'm not sure if the rhyming was on purpose or if they just never said the two names together, either way that poor kid sounds like a cartoon cheese wedge
