We more or less decided on Klaus as a first name.  Full name was going to be Klaus Oliver.  But my great aunt died a few days ago, her name was Juanita Louise.  So I thought it'd be nice to use Louis as a middle name.  Problem is, the repeating S sound is irritating me.  Does it bother you too?

I think you should stick to your original plan or add Louis in as a second middle name....Klaus Oliver Louis would still be a great way to pay tribute.

I told the dad I'd be opting for a third middle name if I can't get over the Ss. He wasn't thrilled but I think he knows who is really in charge ;)

The double -s does bother me. I agree with the previous poster, Klaus Oliver Louis sounds better. Love Louis though, it is my son's name. :-)

That'll likely be what I do because the more I say it the more it irritates me.

The two S sounds are a little weird together, I'd maybe pronounce it Louie? :)

This was my thought.

It was a thought but since my last name is even more German than Klaus is the French as fuck middle also sounds really weird. Also the dad doesn't like the French pronunciation. And I figured I'd be nice since I fell in love with Klaus when he isn't the biggest fan aaaannnnd fetus gets my last name so yeah.

If it's for reasons like that I don't think it matters. Plus how often do you use the full name spoken out loud anyway?

My cousin is named Daisy Millie. To me it's a horrible flow (with the double ee sound) but the Millie part comes from her great-grandmother who died a few months before she was born so I don't think it matters that much.

I agree with having two middle names. Oliver is a good hard sound between the S-es
