To pair two word names...

Is that okay or too much?

These are the ones we like right now:

Opal Hope
Hope Opal

Lily Hope
Lily Pearl
Lily Opal

Are these too much or do some work? Should we add a name, e.g. Opal Chloe Hope or Lily Ava Hope?

Lily Hope is our #1 right now.

My daughter has three word names 😄 and my older daughter has one. We love a noun as a name haha

Sleepyquest · 14/06/2023 20:59

Therefore I'd say go for it!

UsernameIsHarderThanBabyName · 14/06/2023 21:27

Opal Hope

I think Lily Hope sounds the nicest together.

I definitely wouldn't go for Hope Opal. It doesn't flow.

My children also have all word names for all of their names, including one half of their double -barrelled surname (and actually, the other half is a word but very olde English out of common usage).
I say go for it! Add a third!!!

Hope Opal I'd end up smooshing together and saying Hopal. It sounds like all one word HoPoPal.

I love both names though. Opal is awesome!

Avoid Hope Opal that really doesn't work.

They all flow nicely with Lily. Lily Hope is lovely.

Opal Hope - opalope
Hope Opal - hope ope ul

Lily Pearl is probably the best but seems a bit like a 1940s doll

FayCarew · 15/06/2023 12:24

Lily Hope and Lily Opal are ok.

I wouldn't add Ava as a middle name

lovelysummersky · 15/06/2023 19:44

Thanks so far! Would still love some more opinions.

Don't worry too much about the middle name unless you have a common surname. Pick the first name you like best and check that it goes with the surname.
Something like Hope Leslie or Hope Moore is asking for trouble.

Opal Hope or Lily Pearl for me.

However I think Lily is overdone 😬 sorry.
