Monkey Wrench

[smileygoldfish.livejournal.com]

So, I pretty much settled on a girl name that I like: Kira, or Keira, not sure which way I'd spell it. And my husband says he likes it, but then he told me yesterday that he likes the name Chloe much better. I did him that I thought he should have more say in picking a girls' name because I exculsively picked the boys' name we'll use if our baby is a boy.

So what do you think or Chloe Kira or Chloe Keira? Too many "c" sounds?

I think it is too hard to say.

Either way, it is a mouthful.

Definitely too many C sounds. :(

It sounds like a tongue twister...

I don't think it flows at all, and its too much of a mouthful. Chloe or Keira would be nice, but not together.

I wouldn't mind the repeated C sounds if that were the only similarity between the names, but these names also both have two syllables and are stressed on the first syllable. I think a little more rhythmic variation might give you names that complement each other instead of competing with each other.

Chloe Camille
Chloe Cecilia
Chloe Corinne
Chloe Karina
Chloe Kerensa (this is a Cornish name that means "love")

Every Kira I know is a pure joy to be around. I'm all for that name.

Chloe, I'm not so partial too. And together, they don't really complement each other.

Congrats on the pregnancy by the way! :)

Chloe Kira :-) I don't think there are too many c/k sounds. I like alliteration..

Maybe if you added a small name in there to break it up, like Kiera Ann Chloe? Of course a short name that's meaningful to you and that you like ;) It kinda makes it flow better.

I like that a lot.

yeah but then when she gets married she'd have 4 names... I don't know about that.

I love Keira, and.. dont like Chloe so much.
Buttt.. I don't see anything wrong with Chloe Keira. Who cares? Honestly how many people even find out our middle names unless we go out of our way to tell them?
I spent so much time coming up with a perfect first/middle combination for my first.. that I didn't consider much what her first/last sounded like. Her first/last is really really awkward sounding. LOL
Anyway, I think Chloe Keira or Keira Chloe is jut fine. =)

I think it'd not be so bad if they weren't the same number of syllables.

I think Chloe Keira is the better combination, though.

C.K. :)

[smileygoldfish.livejournal.com]

I liked that too :) The other way around would be K C, which is my brother's girlfriend's name (Casey) that he might end of marrying, so that either wouldn't work or would be really cute

I love Kira, but Chloe Kira, no.
