Does this first name/last name sound ok together?

billiburrows · February 2013

We just found out we are having a boy! i have been thinking of names for a while now. my husband and i both really like this name but i am a little concerned about if it works with our last name. on one hand i think it does and on the other hand i don't think so......

Dean Conal (last name rhymes with:) Beamer

Middle name has family meaning.

Does Dean Beamer sound good to you?

thanks in advance for your thoughts.

sounds good to me!

Sounds fine. I really like Dean.

Yes, it does work. It has assonance (a repeated vowel sound), which actually makes names sound nice together, I think. If it had a true embedded rhyme (as you would find in "Dean Beaner") I would say it would not work so well. But Dean Beamer is fine.

Yes, I think it works fine.

Looks like I'm in the minority but I'm not liking the sound of it.

I agree. It's a little almost rhymey to me with "ea" sound in both names.

I don't care for the similar sounds. Is Dean an important name to you guys or just something you like? If it doesn't have special meaning, I would probably rethink it.

The name is NMS, but it's fine.

BTW, I graduated high school with a guy named Dean. His NN was Dino. I think that it had started in elementary school and it just kinda stuck. Hopefully, your son doesn't get stuck with this silly NN.

I was thinking "Beamer is a really weird middle name" lol, then my slow mind came around. Sounds good to me!

This.

I like Dean, but Dean Beamer doesn't flow nicely and there is a tendency to want to say Deaner Beamer.

I agree with this as well, sorry.

Although I like the name Dean, I don't care for the flow of the first and last names. I would recommend choosing a FN that doesn't have the letters "ea".
