Bethany Lauren Alexander (that's our last name)

My name is Stephanie, and I worry that it's too close. . . I don't want to get ridiculous with the rhymey thing.

My first choice is Jane Evangeline, but I think these are also too different for sibling names ...

Thoughts?

I think the name Bethany Lauren is very pretty! I am not feeling Jane Evangeline, though. Bethany does rhyme with Stephanie, but I don't think it is too bad. Good Luck :)

To me, Jane Evangeline has a classic spunk that Bethany Lauren lacks. Bethany Lauren just sounds much more ordinary.

I just have a thing against ending a first name and starting a middle name with the same letter. And Jane and Evangeline also have the same "Ain" sound. I just don't like the way it flows. Sorry :(

I love Bethany! Lauren is not really my style, but Bethany is so pretty and feminine. I think its gorgoeus, and it shouldn't bother you about the rhyming with Stephanie, its not often that the mother and daughter's names are said together alone.

I think Bethany Lauren Alexander sounds nice together.

Nope, it's gotta be Jane ... family significance there.
Besides Jenna Evangeline doesn't flow that well to be because of the double "Uh" sounds - at the end of Jenna and beginning of Evangeline (you know most people won't pronounce with a long E).

Thanks for the input!
Steph
