CAN'T MAKE A DECISION!!!

Trying to decide on a name is driving me crazy!lol I asked my DH which one he would pick if I left it strictly up to him. He said Ireland. He LOVES this name. I also love it but really wanted to use Evelyn (fam name) for at least the middle name. Obviously, Ireland Evelyn doesn't flow very well. My question is whether it is absolutely terrible or whether it could be ok. I think that when you are trying to honor someone by using their name the flow may not always be perfect. I could live with her name not being great but I don't want to use something that sounds silly. What are your thoughts? Ireland Eve (first 3 letters of Evelyn) would flow better but it's not exactly what I want. Anyway, thanks for the help. I feel like I change my mind every day!

I think Ireland Evelyn would be fine. You aren't going to use the MN much anyways so I don't see a problem.

I personally do not like Ireland as a FN so I would suggest Evelyn Ireland which has a nice flow to it.

Good luck!

hello!! well, i dont particularly like ireland-im not too keen on "place" names like that-ive heard paris, denver, pheonix, asia, india and kansas and i dont like any of them really. but its your choice-i like ireland eve best. couldnt you give her 2 middle names? maybe use evelyn as the second one...for awhile i was going to use alexandra judith christine if/when i have another baby-i still might...but anyway, you could do that...you may end up changing your choice with a day to go-sometimes that happens...good luck!!
