I need honest opinions, and I know you guys are good for it!

Here's my dilemma: we are team green, and have decided on Samuel Bernard for our boy name. As far as girls names, I LOVE Lila mn Beth but our last name is Alano. Does Lila Alano have too many L sounds to use seriously? It's my only concern, and a friend snickered when she heard it the other day. I'm just curious as to what strangers think. Thanks in advance!

Yes, it has a lot of "l" sounds, but I really don't mind it. It actually kind of sounds like you are saying something in Hawaiian. Plus, she will probably marry and lose the last name anyway.

Love your boy name. I don't think Lila Alano is that bad ....

I think it sounds just fine. Not a tongue twister or anything.

To be honest Lila Alano is a little awkward on my tongue. It kind of mashes all together.

I think the end A and beginning A are more of an issue than the Ls, but I still think it's ok.

This. It's okay but turns into one long name for me.

I agree. How about Beth as the FN?

Think it's cute

It runs together, but if you love it, go for it. Two reasons: 1) it may not be her last name forever, and 2) how often do people really say their first and last name together at once? I know I don't. Usually if you're talking on the phone (calling the bank, for example), you're saying/spelling your last name, then say/spell the first, etc.

Thanks ladies! I think I'll just have to enunciate and pause between first and last and it won't be an issue. I appreciate your feed back!

Yes. Too many L sounds. Can you do Beth Lila Alano?

I think it would be hard for people to understand what her name is when she introduces herself/you introduce her. That being said, if you love it - go for it. Like you mentioned, just make sure you pause and annunciate.
