Only just pregnant so plenty of time to ponder but a lot of my favourite names don't seem to sound right with my surname. For a girl I wanted Mhyrren (pronounced mirren) but my mum reckons that Mhyrren McGuinness sounds like a disease... Anyone know any McGuinness's out there with good names? Male or female... Thanks
I read somewhere once (a v. long time ago) that if you have a long or unusual surname, to try picking some letters out of the surname so the first name blends easier. We're McCarthy-Allen, and our second is called Callum, the only name out of the three which doesn't sound stupid - Charlotte and Daniel . This ones going to be Eleanor (Ellie McCarthy-Allen) or Alexander. Better be a girl, cos I still think Alex sounds daft with our surname
