How does this Flow?

LovieBear · July 2010

My hubby and I have a boy baby name we love.... but I dont know if it goes good with our last name.

Our last name is LaFleur and we love Bradley as a name...

so Bradley LaFleur ?sounds good... but does Brad LaFleur sound OK?

I feel like it does not flow... any thoughts or suggestions??

I think it sounds fine.

I don't think it sounds bad. I think what may sound odd to you is that Brad is a strong masculine name, and LaFleur has a feminine sound. I don't think that's a problem, and of course you have no control over your last name. I'd stick with it if you and DH love it.

I think they both sound good. If Bradley is going to be his formal name, that's all that matters, even if Brad becomes his nn. Good name choice!

I actually like the sound/flow of Brad LeFleur better than Bradley LeFleur. The former is quickly and easily enunciated, while the latter is a bit of a tongue twister around the doubled L sounds.

I think it's fine! I actually think Brad LaFleur flows better than Bradley LaFleur.

I think both sound fine! But I agree with pp that Brad LaFleur actually flows better- the double L's in Bradley LaFleur make it a little awkward. Either way, good name!

I think either name flows just fine.

Me, too. Bradley LaFleur sounds like a South Louisiana name to me, which I'm used to hearing, so it flows nicely to me.

Bradley LaFleur flows better, in my opinion. Smile

The South Louisiana is funny to me - I'm watching True Blood at the moment, so maybe this is why I like Bradley better!

I think Bradley and Brad have a nice flow with your last name.

brad flows better than bradley. i don't like bradley lafleur because there are too many L sounds close together.

in general, you might want to think about a 3 syllable name since your last name is 2. for example, something like harrison lafleur works better than a 2 syllable name. a 1 syllable can work, too, but i really like 3.
