Challenging Last Name
| Fri, 09-15-2006 - 11:21am |
I have a challenge for anyone who is up to it.
I need a girls name that sounds good with the last name Landenwich.
I posted this about a year ago, but thought I would get some fresh ideas from new people on the board or new ideas from regulars.
A few names on my list:
Ellie (Elinor) - my husbands pick
Mallory - old favorite until I looked up the meaning
Naomi
Ainsley
Fiona
Emerson
Ellery/Ellory
Quinn
Reese
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks, Krista

Ellie (Elinor) - I don't care for this name.
Mallory - nms
Naomi - nmsaa
Ainsley - I like it
Fiona - nmsaa
Emerson - I love this
Ellery/Ellory - I love this
Quinn - I like this
Reese - I don't really have an opinion on Reese
I think any of these sounds fine with Landenwich.
Some of my favourite girls names are
Macey
Piper
Kennedy
Presley
Harley
Eva
Harper
Debra
Avery-8/13/97
Caleb-11/24/03
Keagan-9/26/05
My favorite from your list is Fiona, and I think it sounds great with Landenwich. My second favorite is Naomi. I like the name Elinor, but I don't like the way the nn Ellie sounds with Landenwich -- too many Ls! With Landenwich, I prefer the nn Nora. The others are nms, sorry!
Here are some other names you might like:
Claire/Clara Landenwich
Cara Landenwich
Camille Landenwich
Brenna Landenwich
Maeve Landenwich
Zoe Landenwich
Zara/Zora Landenwich
Maia Landenwich
Audrey Landenwich
Eve/Eva Landenwich
Tess/Tessa Landenwich
Vivian Landenwich
Eden Landenwich
Kira Landenwich
Brooke Landenwich
Good luck!
I would avoid the "Ell" names because they're becoming so popular right now and because of the L in your ln.
With a long last name I would prefer a one syllable first name... so something like Reese would be my pick.
But Elinor Landenwich sounds fine, although I prefer the Eleanor spelling.

I really like Fiona, it works well w/ your ln. Anything's going to be a mouthfull with the last name!
I also like the sound of A names w/ your ln. Some of the pp ideas of Audrey and Avery would sound good.
Good luck!
