Help[Opinions] Re: Madeline and Peter+
in reply to a message by VickyBliss
Madeline and Jacob are pretty mediocre. Especially compared with other names I've seen you consider in the past these two fall very flat. I'm not a fan of Jacob at all; I think it's all-around unattractive. I don't like the -ob ending or the tendency for people's pronunciation to sound more to me like a P than a B.
Jacob is really dragging down both of the middle names. In a pinch I would vote Jacob Cosmas, but I think everything is more or less ruined by its close proximity to a name I dislike so much. :-/ Ideally I would ditch Jacob entirely and just put Leonard and Cosmas together. Have you thought about Leonard nicknamed Lev? If not Len or Leo that's the next place I'd go, I think.
Peter has been growing on me lately to the point where it is almost a favorite. Like Stephen and Vincent I can think of a hundred good things to say about it, but only once in a blue moon does it make my top five. Where it really wins for me is in the combo; if it has a middle name that hits the spot I'll love it.
I would also take Margaret or Magdalene over Madeline. Or Madelieve, another neat one that is similar.
ETA: Just as a little interesting thing someone might appreciate--I subbed at a local high school and had a kid in class named Titus. It was more awesome than you'd think it would've been.

Lev...
Is what I have begged and pleaded to name our first son. :-D Shot down every time.
Yah, I'm glad you're on the "Madeline" boat. It's not something that I can see myself using. Thankfully it's not even on the list - we have a girl's name picked out. The boy's name is where we're arguing. I'm trying to get myself to come around to Leonard.
