1 If
you feel to several first names, try them out with the surname to see if they
flow and sound right. Especially when spoken aloud
2 It often sounds better if the first name and
the And surname contain a different number of syllables. a plain surname can be
given a lift by a stylish first name. Thus two short names together Jane Smith
may sound curt or insignificant, whereas Kayla Smith or Zaranda Smith suggests
livelier personalities with more energy and style. Bear in mind that a longer
surname can often sound better with a short first name, for example John
Camberley.
3
Check for any meanings that may lurk in the combination of first name and
surname. Ann and Eileen are both fine names but one would obviousl want to
avoid Ann Teak or Eileen Dover.
4 Avoid names that run together when you speak
them like Beryl Lane. Such names may be confusing to anyone encountering them
for the first time.
5 if
you choose a third (middle) name make sure it sounds right with the other two
names.
