Seren Esther?

[JenniPenny88]

Hi all,
OH and I really keen on using Esther as a middle name for personal reasons but we arent sure if our fave first name- Seren- really "goes" with it. I quite like that both names mean "Star" as this is just coincindental but not sure about the sounds together. What do you all think?

I don't think they go well together, sorry.

I would have had Esther as a first name for DC3 had he been a she, and (being Welsh, I like Seren)

Also, how would the initials work with your surname? S.E.???

I think a single syllable middle name, or Esther as a first one.

Esther is my choice for if this supposed boy bump turns out to be a girl. I think Esther Seren flows better but the two are a bit mismatched either way IMO.

Our surname is very short- single syllable- and begins with C.
Sigh, naming is so hard!

Really hard to say if you have a lisp. Also sounds a bit like a garden plant if you say them together.
Both lovely names, but I don't think they work well together.

Tbh it doesn't go too well if you're saying it all in one go. If you have a good pause between the two though ( and presumably oly refer to her as Seren) then I don't think it's too much of a problem. She will very rarely use all her name. If you love It i wouldn't let it put me off

I think it sounds lovely!

Sounds too like polyester in my opinion.

Agree with Abby, how often does anyone over the age of 2 say both names together?
As long as the combination of the two isn't hideous, which it isn't, then it'll be fine.

Littlefish I was going to say "polyester" too. Sorry OP! How about Seren Estella?

Another pollyester here

I really like it. Two lovely names

Makes me think of Cirencester.

Esther is by far the nicer name than Seren in my opinion. Esther is a beautiful, timeless classic name.

Said together it sounds like the latest peoplecarrier/pseudo Italian ice cream.

I know Seren has a lovely meaning, and is Welsh etc etc but it always just sounds very harsh to me.

I love Esther though.

Esther Seren flows much better. If you really want Esther as the middle name how about Seren Something Esther Surname, with a short extra name to seperate them? I think they do sound like Sere Nester together, sorry

Seren is a beautiful name

Well I am sticking with my i

I actually know someone with a DD named "Seren", in fact I mentioned it on a name thread on here recently. It's a beautiful name and I'm pretty sure they are always getting compliments for it.

Serin is a little bird, yes?

Seren Esther makes me think of 'La Serenissima' (Venice)

(I prefer Serena to Seren - it would be awkward with Esther though.)

It reminds me of Cirencester too.

It sounds like Sarah Nestor, not Seren Esther, to me if I say it aloud.

Both are lovely names though! I'd use Esther Seren or, if that's not possible, stick an extra name between Seren & Esther.

i really really like it
