Double Names for Sarah
21

We have 2 weeks to go and my husband woke up yesterday set on Sarah. It is a family name and I like it but it seems very common to me. I was thinking that maybe I could turn it into a double name to give it more originality. I am the one who likes our family name Noble so I was thinking to name her SARAH NOBLE. I would call her that but I have a feeling most others would just call her Sarah. You guys are great at coming up with combinations so do you have other ideas for a "double name" for Sarah.

Like-
"Sarah Kate"
"Sarah Noble"

Thanks again for all your wonderful ideas and support!!!

I love Sarah Katheryn too! But... the family that we spend the most time with has a very new little girl who will probably be our little girl's most frequent playmate and they named her Anna Catherine. They call her that or Anna Cate. Anna Catherine and Sarah Katheryn - just seems too much. Do you think I should let that affect my decision?

Thanks for the input!

My friend Sarah Jane is in her early 20's, and is a retail fashion store manager. The name suits her, she is gorgeous and very trendy. I think that it works as a mature name and a small girls name.

-Katherine

Hmmm. That might be too many little "something Catherines!" I think you ought to stick with Sarah Noble or perhaps if that isn't feeling right, move to Sarah Frances, Sarah Caroline, Sarah Jane or Sarah Elizabeth. Any way you go. it will be a lovely name.

Not a double name, exactly, but my sister had a friend named Sarita (whom, if I remember correctly, was named after two different relatives, Sara and Rita ... although Sarita is a name in it's own right, I just can't think of the meaning offhand). She often went by Sara for short. Again, maybe not something that would work for you, but thought I'd mention it since it's not quite as common. :)

I love some of your ideas!

I really like
Sarah Tate
Sarah Lynn
and Sarah Belle but I am not sure about spelling

If I want it to sound like Sarah "bella" what would be the best way to spell it? I would like to keep the family spelling of Sarah but add a second name. So would it be

Sarah Bella or
Sarah Belle (I think Belle is pronounced "bell" right?)

What looks and sounds best?
Thanks-

We put that on her forms and then also tell the teachers/staff that is what she is called. We call her any number of things and she changes her mind all the time. This year she requested SE, but all the teachers/friends already knew her as Sarah Eleanor so she gets some of each. I think Sarah Noble would work. I have gotten some skeptical looks and people saying they will never remember to use the whole thing, but they usually do. It is hard sometimes because people see it as her middle name so in new environments if we do not specify ahead of time they sometimes just use Sarah. I do get compliments all the time on her name tho ;).
