What sounds better?

[Lozabob]

First a girl I like the first name Hannah, for middle names were thinking of using mine and my partners' mothers names, which sounds better:

Hannah Sarah-Aileen Lindsay

Or

Hannah Aileen-Sarah Lindsay

?

Sarah Aileen.

Are you hyphenating the middle names? Why?

Sarah first. I don't see the need to hyphenate them, just have two middle names.

Sarah Aileen. Agree, no hyphen necessary.

Aileen Sarah but no hyphen.

Nah, won't be hyphenating them, just to emphasise those were the middle ones, as my last name "Lindsay" might seem like another middle one

Sarah first but not much in it

Sarah and Aileen are nice names. Hannah is a 1970s born, plump housewife.

@Frith2013 thanks for that

@thenailtechmum who are you?

Sarah Aileen

Sarah first because the A sound in Aileen runs into the a sound at the end of Hannah otherwise.

Sarah and Aileen are nice names. Hannah is a 1970s born, plump housewife.

Really? If anything Hannah is an 80s name so Hannahs are in their 30s now. Aileen is much more dated than Hannah.

I think Hannah is a nice name. Not in vogue right now but classic enough for that not to be a problem.

I don’t like Aileen but you’re using for a nice reason. I don’t think the way round really matters.

I prefer Aileen Sarah

The first one, as otherwise, it spells "HAS(s)L(e)".

If you did Aileen Sarah then explaining you chose alphabetically may keep the peace?!

Hannah is a classic timeless name, not sure where Frith2013 gets her ideas from.

I know 70yr old Hannah’s aswell as 2 yr old Hannah’s.

Definitely use Sarah before Aileen, though I’d only give one middle name and keep the other name as a middle name for future children

DD has my mums name as a middle name and dh wanted his mums name used but it’s really old fashioned and I said no! Thankfully his sister had already used it for her dd.

I'm a Hannah and I'm in my 30's. Most Hannahs I meet are around my age.
Although I work as a registrar and I occasionally register new babies called Hannah.
It's nice to see people choosing it

Hannah Sarah Aileen

Hannah is a lovely name

Hannah Sarah Aileen

Hannah Sarah Aileen Lindsay.
I think this rolls out easyer when saying the full name aloud. But it's about what you really like best - say them aloud a few times to give you a feel of saying them

Hannah Sarah Eileen

Aileen*

Sarah Aileen

They don't sound great either way round. I would pick one and use the other later.

Or go bananas and combine them to make Ailsa.

How does Aileen get pronounced anyway? I'm never sure where the stress goes and whether it's Eye-Lean or Ay-lean or Uh-lean
