Help[Opinions] Yvette
in reply to a message by Nicola
I harbor a secret love for Yvette as well as Yvonne, Yolanda, and Yolande. "Y" names usually don't appeal to me but those four really do. I'm tempted to say that Georgette and Yvette are too repetative because of the common -ette ending, but they're so different otherwise that it doesn't bother me enough to dislike them together.
I'm not thrilled with Lance either. I think Theodore is very sweet and I like a handful of its possible nicknames, if that's something you're considering as well.
It's tempting to suggest something French to go along with your other children because that kind of cohesion appeals to me, but it wouldn't seem strange if the third kid's name had a different origin. Georgette and Claude are very familiar names to people outside of French-speaking populations, as far as I know, so they wouldn't look jarringly exotic next to something more traditionally English or whatever.
Not that it might matter to you even if they do. :-) There's no saying that siblings all need a similar type of name, but if that's the way your naming taste runs then it's fair to assume a third would "fit" with the first two irrespective of whether you purposefully chose one of the same origin.
