Surname Pell… do these first names work?

Friend is expecting boy/girl twins in August and still undecided on a names. She particularly likes (not necessarily together!)

Maxwell & Rosa

Does that work with her surname? She thinks Maxwell Pell is a bit of a mouthful and Rosa Pell reminds her of Rosabelle… what do you think?

Maxwell Pell is too many llllls

I don’t think Maxwell Pell works - the ends are too similar. Maximilian (or just Max) sound fine though.

I like Rosa Pell. The rhythm is different to Rosabelle, and it’s not a bad association anyway.

"Gemma" - saves you time when you go to France.
Maxwell is too much of a mouthful imo. Rosa is ok.

What about Gemma?

Sunnydaysaredefhere · 27/06/2023 21:29

Maximus.

Maxwell doesn't really work - I agree with her.

Rosa is ok. Is it a family name? There's a lot of rose type names around at the moment

I don't think maxwell pell works due to too many L's.

Rosa Pell sounds like Rosabel

Beautiful names though, I just don't think they go with your surname.

How about:

Magnus Pell
Maximo Pell
Oscar Pell
Benjamin Pell
Ethan Pell
Henry Pell
Augustus Pell
Phoenix Pell
Sidney Pell
Morgan Pell
Frankie Pell (great name)
Axel Pell

Girls:
Lola Rose Pell
Everleigh Rose Pell
Eden Rosa Pell
Maya Rose Pell
Lydia Rose Pell

KirstenBlest · 28/06/2023 09:21

The -ell Pell is too rhymey
-a Pell sounds a bt like apple.

Sasha Pell sounds like ça chapelle etc

sadderthensad · 28/06/2023 09:24

Maxim?

BernadetteRostankowskiWolowitz · 28/06/2023 09:25

Rosa Pell sounds like Rose Apple

Agree Maxwell doesn't work. I don't think Rosa does either, it sounds a bit like Rosabel. Rose Pell makes me think of rose petal. A longer Rose name may work - Rosalind or Rosamund?

I would avoid a name ending in s so it doesn't morph with pell and sound like spell. Names beginning with S too in case shortened to S Pell. Same with names ending in 'la' like Isla and Orla so it doesn't morph into 'lapel'.

Harriet Pell
Jessamine Pell
Rosalind Pell
Charlotte Pell
Eleanor Pell

Michael Pell
Matthew Pell
Christopher Pell
Daniel Pell
Joseph Pell

Maxwell Pell sounds to much. But the name will be shortened to max so max Pell sounds great. Rosa goes well too.

PurpleChrayne · 28/06/2023 09:34

Komen-Tuta.

ColonelPine · 28/06/2023 10:51

Maxwell Pell - too rhymey
Max Pell - too bam bam
Rosa Pell - sounds like a first name with no surname

How about Imogen and Andrew?

MrsO3 · 28/06/2023 14:02

I personally don't think either of these names work. Maxwell Pell isn't any good as the 'well' and 'Pell' rhyme and I agree with you that Rosa Pell sounds like Rosabelle.
What about just Max or Maximus and Rose or Rosie?

KirstenBlest · 28/06/2023 14:03

Elsa
