Hi, I'm new here. Not TTC or anything for quite a while yet, just interested in interesting names.

I was walking in a graveyard last night and saw the name Lena Victorine on one of the headstones.
I'd never heard of Victorine before but apparently it means victory. What do you think?

Also what do you think of names with similar sounds in the middle generally? (I'm guessing it's L-ee-na Victor-ee-n,
any other ideas?)

And what do you think of first and last names with the same first letter like Lena Lastname?

And what could be a nickname for Victorine apart from Vicky or Tory?

I like same first letter on first and last names.
I also like it for First and middle names.

Lena Victorine doesn't sound too repetitive to me, but some repeated sounds do. Like for example if someone's name was Aidan David, I wouldn't like that.

Some alliterative names I like, but it depends on the letter. Sometimes I think it sounds stupid. They often occur in fictional characters such as Peter Pan, Peter Piper, Mickey Mouse...
I think I like them for A names.

I love the name Lena but not with Victorine

Rine (Reen) would work as a NN

Vivi works for most V names, but it's a bit...er... pink-fluffy-poodlesque :p

Victorine sounds all right. I haven't seen it before either. I'm used to pronouncing Lena, "LAY-nuh" though, although I know it's also pronounced the way you're thinking of it a lot.

I think alliterative first and last names are ok, but not first and middle because it doesn't.. really flow. I guess it depends on the vowel sounds. Helena Hodgins, for example, sounds nice to me. Henrietta Henderson, on the other hand, does not. =\

I love names together that sound similar.
Esmé Marissa Madison was my number one name forever, i love the M sounds together.
Double initials bug me a bit though, i was nearly Lucy L*****, glad I wasn't.
