We both love the name Noah and would like to use DH's name Simon as the middle name - Noah Simon but does it have that certain ring to it IYKWIM. Im not sure if it sounds right?

We dont want to ask family about what they think - weve decided to keep the name secret as were fed up of all the comments - theres always some negative comment or two - at this rate we'll never find a name.

Our surname is just one syllable

so Noah Simon (one syllable)

What do you think?

Thanks for the advice, Im glad Im not just me who sees the two names not fitting right for some reason.

Although - youre right how often are middle names heard?

Havent told dh that I dont think they go together!

Any suggestions for what might go better with Noah - although would hate to upset dh!

Can't leave this alone. On reflection I think it's great. Sorry.

let it bubble for a couple of days and ignore people like me

I like Noah, not too keen on simon, but it's ok. But I agree that the 2 don't go very well. When you say them out loud, they are very seperate, kind of like a hiccup between them - I don't mean hiccup sound. I can't actually explain it.

However, like choosy says, middle names are not often heard, so it doesn't matter that much anyway.

Yes, I'd say that for some reason this sounded a little bit odd as a combination. Can't think why TBH. Both nice names. Have any other second names been in the frame at all?

I do think that people's middle names rarely get heard so it's not that big a deal. Having said that, my sister hated her middle name and alleges that it blighted her adolescence.

There might be too many N sounds.
