I heard a mother talking to her daughter today while I was out and about. At one point she called her Alanis Victoria. What do you think of that?

Also, Sawyer is no longer just a boy name. It, too has been taken by a girl named Sawyer Anne Marie.

Not sure i like that particular name on a girl [Sawyer].
I don't really like Alanis either.
...and Victoria will always be the state under the one i live in lol, i couldn't name a kid that.

Both names are okay.. Alanis is a little bleh..

But th full name is just to much to call a little girl. A 6-syllable name? Yikes.

I believe it's 7 syllables.

You're right-- thanks! Even worse..


Unless they pronounce it Vic-tor-ya. :) hehe.

I doubt they'd call her by her full name; in most cases middle names are just kind of decorative and serve no functional purpose, except maybe so your mom can make it clear when you've done something especially awful. I don't think the length of both names together is going to make any difference.

"Alanis Victoria Lastname, get to your room right now."

Um, well I'm assuming that if she was calling her that while they were out and about in public, it's probably what she calls her most of the time. I know that some parents only use both names when they're trying to be particularly authoritative, but was saying if you're going to call your child by their full name regularly, 7 syllables is too much. And yes, I have heard people call their children by two names that were way too long.
