I've already decided on the middle name which will be Rhianne Smile
But I'm stuck with picking a first name out of these options, what's your favourite?

Kelsey Rhianne
Lara Rhianne
Sansa Rhianne
Olivia Rhianne
Brooke Rhianne

And if you can think of any first names that go better with Rhianne then I'd welcome any suggestions Smile

Lara

I think Lara Rhianne has a problem of too many Rs running into each other.

If it was virtually any other middle name, I would choose Lara.

TheLastNigel · 27/11/2018 06:08

Lara

UnrelentingFruitScoffer · 27/11/2018 06:20

Lara or Olivia.

OldBrownShoe · 27/11/2018 07:53

From your list I like Kelsey best.

Keiley Rhianne
Leila Rhianne
Macey Rhianne
Emma Rhianne

Olivia or Lara

ZebraKid71 · 27/11/2018 11:28

Rhianne is lovely, go for that first name.

Rarfy · 27/11/2018 11:32

Sansa for me.

Slowtrain2dawn · 27/11/2018 11:40

Lara is lovely

RedWineIsFabulous · 27/11/2018 11:44

Olivia

Bloomini · 27/11/2018 11:54

Livia Rhian

Astronica · 27/11/2018 12:55

Lara or Olivia

I like Lara, Olivia and Brooke. Although I would spell it 'Rhian' but that could just be because the only one I know is spelled that way.

ReginaPhalange89 · 27/11/2018 13:38

Lara is my favourite but not totally sure it goes with Rhianne, too many rrrr sounds (well for me being Scottish anyway ! It doesn't roll off the tongue for us !)

Davespecifico · 27/11/2018 13:40

Just Lara, tho as others have said, Lara Rhianne doesn't flow well.

starkid · 27/11/2018 13:48

Lara is gorgeous and classy

MamaDane · 28/11/2018 10:47

Lara or Olivia are both great options. I'd probably go for Lara.

Pemba · 28/11/2018 15:30

Has to be Lara or Olivia really (both very nice names).
Sansa has a nice sound, but is far too Game of Thrones as pp said. A similar name is Sanchia would that be a possibility?
Brooke is too surnamey.

Kelsey seems somehow very 80s and not very classy at all. To me, it's similar to Kimberley and Beverley (urrgh!) though I suppose slightly better than them. But it's very different from your other choices.

SoyDora · 28/11/2018 15:36

Lara or Olivia. Not keen on the others.

SoyDora · 28/11/2018 15:37

I’ve never heard the name Sansa, but then I’ve never seen GOT.

qumquat · 28/11/2018 16:40

Lara. Yes there's a lot of rs but the names will hardly ever be used together. It's miles nicer than all of your other choices.

KarineAimee · 28/11/2018 18:06

Kelsey or Lara

Thanks everyone for the name suggestions and opinions on what goes well. Smile

Most commentators prefer Lara over the other options, I like this name as it rolls off the tongue. I do see what some have said about Sansa being too GOT so I've decided to scrap that name from my list. I did have Zelda as an option but scrapped that for the same kind of reason.

Lara Rhian seems like a good choice but I think I prefer the spelling of Rhian as Rhianne, I'm now debating if it's suppose to be pronounced Ree-Anne or RI-Anne ? I would pronounce it Ree-Anne but that might just be because I'm English. Do the welsh pronounce it differently?

Only reason I didn't want Rhian/Rhianne as a first name is because I have a feeling it would be shortened to Anne by others and I don't like that very much, just a little too classic for my liking.

Also prefer the Rhian spelled Rhianne as it gives off more of a feminine vibe imo, I know Rhian could be a male now and I would spell it Rhian if it were for a boy but as I'm having a girl, Rhiannon seems nicer? I don't know 😂
