Help with MN & sibset

ffejsGirlffejsGirl
in Baby Names

We have used grandparents first names for both our children's MN. Aiden Robert is for my dad and Emily Diane after my MIL. If this baby is a girl it will be my mom's turn. Her name is Sherri Kay.

Our favorite girl name right now is Shannon. I think Shannon Sherri is just not good, so I'm thinking Shannon Kay. Is that any better? Or if both are bad should I just go with Shannon Sherri and say screw it :)

Also what do you think of the sibset: Aiden, Emily & Shannon

 

BTW my mom will be devastated if we don't use her name after using my dad's and my MIL's for the first two.

    I think Shannon Kay sounds the best. I also have always loved Sheridan for a girl, and you could call her Sherri.

    My MIL's name is Sharon Kay so Shannon Kay sounds really normal to me.  Good choice.

    My son's name is Murphy Ronald.  I HATE the name Ronald but I am the one who chose it because it was my favorite uncle's name who passed away.  I never use his middle name but it feels special to me that it is there. 

    That said, I don't like how Shannon Sherri or Shannon Kay "sound" but I think they are really sweet and meaningful names that when you pair it with the last name probably don't sound the same and probably won't be used much anyway.  I definitely agree with using one.  I would probably pick Kay so there isn't the repetitive SH SH sounds.

    I love Shannon Kay!  I also think the sibset of Aiden, Emily, and Shannon is nice.

    Could you ask your mom? She might agree that Shannon Kay flows better & they'd have the same initials. Maybe she won't get hung up on using her first name?

    Shannon Kay sounds good! The Sh sound in both names makes it seem like Shannon is used on purpose to be a different version of Sherri! I think Shannon Sherri is SHBAD :(

    I prefer Shannon Kay over Shannon Sherri but I love the suggestion of using Sheridan as the first name, nn Sherri. Would your mom go for that?

    Thanks for all your input ladies!

    I love Sheridan as well, but DH says no. My mom as been a real peach lately and the thought of using Sherri as a NN for our daughter is a big turn off for him :) He thinks honoring her with the MN is more than enough. LOL

    I'm kind of hoping this baby (our last) is a boy to avoid this name drama :P

    If we go with Shannon it will probably be Shannon Kay.
