What do you think of the following combinations:

Sienna Evelyn
Grace Evelyn

I wanted somethings slightly more unique for the first name but these are the only two I feel any sort of connection with at the moment. Open to other suggestions, my previous thread was really helpful.

Middle will be Evelyn after my grandmother.

I love Grace.

If you are set on Evelyn though then I think Evelyn Grace flows better than Grace Evelyn.
I don't like Sienna with Evelyn at all.

I like both Sienna and Grace (prefer Sienna), I don’t think either of them really go with Evelyn though.

I agree with pp. Evelyn Grace is lovely , could be Evie ?

Are you set on Evelyn as a middle name? It's the nicest of the 3 in my opinion. Evelyn Grace would be gorgeous. Grace Evelyn is my next choice. Sienna Evelyn last of all I'm afraid. Sienna is a nice name but as others have said the "ah" and the "eh" sounds just don't work next to each other.

Sienna Evelyn is tricky to say, cause of the double vowel. Siennaevelyn. Not bad!

Sienna Evelyn is horrible. Sienna anything is horrible.

I like both but I don't think Sienna goes as well with Evelyn.

sawollya · 31/05/2020 17:51

I prefer Grace.

Sienna Evelyn is a bit of a tongue-twister if you say it all together (or at least it was for me!) Think it's the multiple "eh" and "n" sounds all together. Think Grace Evelyn flows better.

Both sound fine to me. I prefer Sienna myself, but it would be nice to see Grace used as a first name for a change, it's so often used as a middle.
