Help[Opinions] Re: Names of Family from the UK
in reply to a message by Matthew 05
I would use Thomas (family name), Jane, and perhaps Esme (family name) and Louise as mns.
I dislike Gemma, Sienna and Amber, though they do go together. Jack Paul puzzles me: why not John Paul, nn Jack? Better flow, and I don't enjoy nicknames as full names. Jack is a family name, but also a nn for John. I knew a wonderful Leigh, back in my school days: her names were actually Mabel Leigh but she went by Leigh. Perhaps Amber Leigh could do the same? I find Eleanor Olivia easier to pronounce than Olivia (family name, but she preferred Olive) and I like it better. Ethan doesn't really happen where I live, but I do like Antony (that pronunciation, regardless of spelling). Antony Ethan and Eleanor Olive would do nicely.
