When your name and surname combine to form a word..

[Cortina]

Is this always a mistake? I fear it maybe! :)? Can it ever work or be got away with?

For example, Scarlet Jam or similar...Hmm not a good example. Not necessarily that the surname is a noun but the names could be seen to run into each other to make a word?

You mean like Merry Lee or Tim Burr?

Wild Rose marrying a man named Bull etc.

I think best avoided, usually.

My daughter's name runs together to make a name that sounds like a unit of measurement.

Bad idea I'm afraid.

DuncanDisorderly, I can't think what your daughter's name might be...

chi lowe

Oh that must be it! Milly something anyway!

yes, her name is Millie something. It's not an actual unit of measurement, just sounds like it should be one.

Hmm, I think it's best avoided to be honest.

Picking names is so hard isn't it?!

I think sometimes it can be nice. Knew a lady who was considering 'Summer Berry' with Berry being the surname. I thought it sounded quite nice, actually. It's a fine line though between nice and ridiculous.

Was talking to a teacher yesterday about this.

she knew a Phillipa Tubb.

Said quickly it is Fill up a tub!!

I know a Summer Rose and she really really isnt!

I once met a man named Brent Row. He was annoyed at having a street address for a name!

Apologies to either of these women (if they are mnetters). But I have known a Shirley Knott and Shona Dick (REALLY).

I resisted a boy in High School because his last name was Day & I am Holly... Holly Day....(

Also knew a girl called Jenny Tull...that ones really bad!

My first initial and surname make a word. Frankly I've found it to be very very tedious.

I know of a Marnie McKnight always sounded like it should be Marmite

Northumberlandlass I was at school with a Shirley Knott. Her class called her Curly Snot though.
Did you go to my school in Lincolnshire?
Do you have nightmares about navy knickers?
