This is REALLY hard!!


Okay, as of now my favorite combo is Mabry Kendall for a girl and Eli Jared for a boy. Do these combo's flow?? Mabry is a version of my grandmother's name and Jared's dh's middle name.


Our last name is Ball (fun).


Mabry Kendall Ball or Eli Jared Ball...hmm....


Thanks to everyone for the help!

I can totally see the following conversation...


'Can you check my account because I know this charge shouldn't be there...'


'Name, please'


'Mabry Kendall Surname'


'Maybe Kendall?

I like Mabry Kendall and Eli Jared both. Mabry and Eli fit really nicely w/ Hanna and Grant as a sibset. I think more important than the fn-mn flow are the fn-ln flow since it is said out loud together more.

My only slight concerns here/ things to consider would be:
1- Eli Ball is just SO short and together seem somehow incomplete to me. What about Elias, Elijah, etc.? Also, visually I see "eye ball" even though obviously it's 2 letters off. Just a thought!
2- Mabry Ball is quite B-heavy (BREE-BALL sounds), but that may not bother you at all! Again, something to mull over.

HTH and good luck!

Does Mabry have to be may-bree? I prefer the mab-ree pronunciation...it's more intuitive for me and goes around the "maybe" thing (which just makes me think of "Arrested Development.") And Kendall Ball looks funny to me...

But Eli Jared...oh, yeah!
