Unusual consecutive letter suggestions?

[tripledutch]

Hello
I’m expecting my second child in December. My husband and I would like a name which has an unusual combination of consecutive letters in it. Like Django. We don’t know the sex of the baby so need a girl and boy name. Surname is very plain and starts with a B and middle name will be Marianne or Marcus. I saw a truck with Dhollandia on the back earlier so that sort of thing but a name for a child obviously, not a truck. Can anyone suggest one? TIA

Yes, @Arlanymor , we know you know, you've told us. Others might not though.

@tripledutch , how about Mbappé?

So if people are wrong we just don't mention it then? I mentioned it initially because it was wrong. I mentioned it again because I was directly quoted and it was STILL wrong. Sorry for wanting people to understand the language if they are going to call their child a name that belongs to that language. Honestly...

@Arlanymor , in Welsh, they are letters not digraphs.
Ph in English is a digraph, in Welsh it's a letter.

Nope, a digraph.

look up some Anglo-Saxon names. You get plenty of AE combinations and HR, like Hrothgar and Aethelred

They are letters @Arlanymor , but it is probably of no interest to anyone else.

@tripledutch , Gdansk?

I found it interesting! Never knew that about Welsh. From what I’ve (just) read it seems accurate to describe them both as letters and digraphs (if the latter is defined as two characters — not letters in this case — giving a single sound).

They have their own tiles in Welsh Scrabble 🥳

@Alliana, a digraph is two letters making one sound. Something like S+H making a 'sh' sound, or O+U making an 'ooh' sound.
In Welsh, LL etc is a single letter, so it can't be two letters. It is two characters.

You could argue that it is, in the same way as you could say a ligature is two letters, but in some languages' alphabets, the ligature is a separate letter.
I'd say it's only a digraph if it isn't.

As I said, in this case a digraph seems to be defined as two characters making a single sound (as opposed to two letters).

“The main difference from English is that certain letters are digraphs, one letter alphabetically but composed of two separate characters. The digraphs are CH, DD, FF, NG, LL, PH, RH, and TH, and in Welsh they are alphabetized as a single letter.”

OK, they are digraphs and letters according to that.
