it didn't sound great with your last name? We're just TTC right now, but we have a girl name that we both LOVE. Unfortunately, it doesn't flow well with our last name. We are totally in love with the name Talulla, although thus far everyone we know HATES it. Our last name is Lucier (pro like Lou-see-ay. What are your thoughts on this...Would you use a name you loved regardless of how it sounds with your ln or pick something else you may not love as much, but has a better flow?

Thanks,
Annie

Nope...I wouldn't do it. Even though she will probably eventually change it when she gets married, she might be single for a long time and will likely start her career, etc. with the name you give her. I disagree with the pp that she'll love her name no matter what. I think it's a huge gift to give her a name that is strong and flows well, even if it's not the absolute number one name that you like.
