This doesn't flow does it

[meepmoop]

Hi,

We've decided on our first name which is going to be Astrid however DH likes the name Eva for a middle name.

Astrid Eva doesn't go though does it?

We're a bit stuck so middle name
suggestions are welcome

Astrid is lovely! Astrid Eva sounds fine imo

It’s lovely.
How often do you say all your names together? Hardly ever, so if you think it is clunky, it doesn’t matter.

Astrid Eva sounds good.. love Astrid!

It's a great name, and PP are right. You never really say all names together.

Apart from when the baby's name in announced you almost never use middle names. I wouldn't worry if the names go together or not.

Having said the two names do go together anyway 😅

Astrid Eve is nicer IMO and flows. Try it with the surname.

Agree with pp that Astrid Eve flows better, but Astrid Eva is fine.

Eve seems gentler than Eva, and Astrid is quite a strong name.
Not keen at all on Eva but Astrid and Eve are both lovely.

Yes, it flows fine.

Astrid Eve flows better, to me Astrid Eva sounds like Astra Diva. But love all the names individually!

E-va or A-va?
I like Astrid Eva pronounced Ava.

Astrid is lovely. Does she need a middle name?

Oo I was expecting agreement that they wouldn't flow. I've been saying it over and over and it's growing on me.

DH likes it pronounced E-va.

I don't dislike Eve instead

I like it!

I'd go with Eve rather than Eva

I think as Astrid is such a strong name that it goes better with a one syllable middle name

Astrid Eva said together could be heard as Astridiva

It flows well!

It’s beautiful! I marginally prefer Astrid Eve but Eva is lovely too and flows just fine.

Astrid is a brilliant name! I like Eve and Eva or you could go completely mad and do Astrid Evelina, which has a nice rhythm.

Thanks everyone! I'm glad I've got positive responses to both especially Astrid else I would really be stuck

I use my daughters first and middle name together every day. I agree with you OP... I don't think they go together at all!

There's are so many more names to choose from! Astrid is lovely though 😊

All I see is AstridE.

I dont understand the need about names flowing!
The names are perfectly nice, you like them, what's the problem?

Sounds fine.

I don't understand the need about names flowing!

Me neither unless you intend to use it as a double barrell name which isn't the case here. I would be far more inclined to wonder if it goes with sibling names because having a Molly and a Cressida sound like two different families.

Astrid is lovely.
