Regine Reyna / Regine Reina... too much?

So, DH and I both really like the name Regine or Regina. However, one of our top middle choices is Reyna or Reina, which is "Queen" in Tagalog (Spanish as well I think).

Are these possible combos just too much, or would you go with it??

Regine Reyna
Regine Reina
Regina Reyna
Regina Reina

second middle would likely be Giada (jade) or Giacinta (hyacinth).

This is a hypothetical question. I am not yet pregnant, and Regina is not our top choice.

Thanks!

It's definitely too much. If I were in your position I'd drop either Regine/Regina or Reyna/ Reina from the combo in favor of other names. They're far to similar to use in one combo and you have other more compatible names on your list.

Yep

Reina and Regina both mean 'queen', in Latin and Spanish. Not to mention it's a bit of a tongue-twister.

For me, it's too much. The repeating 're' and 'ah' sounds (especially with the possible second middles) make the combos sound too singsongy. I don't know how much you'd use the middles though, so I won't call it unusable, but I wouldn't do it.

Ps, I love Reina!

Yeah. I re-read my post and would have deleted it if I could. I think it's too much as well.

I do love Reina, that is why I don't want to miss out on using it even if I loved Regina. I think Reina / Reyna would win that contest though.
