    What do you think of this name for a girl?

    So we have just found out we're having a girl, lucky thing too because we didn't have any boys names lol

    The names we've narrowed it down to are:

    Arwen Rose Martin

    Juliet Rose Martin

    Juliet Arwen Martin

    It think we are leaning more towards the last one but still not sure, just wanting some feedback on how you think it sounds?

    I like Juliet Rose then
    Juliet Arwen
    Arwen Juliet

    I think Arwen means 'beautiful', which is lovely but I am not a fan of the actual name

    so sorry not a fan of Arwen as it sounds masculine to me , maybe cause it reminds me of my DP's Lebanese friend's name Marwen !! ... Is it after someone special ?? if so maybe as a middle name as a tribute !!

    I love Juliet, very pretty & classical ... i especially like it spelt Juliette but that's just me

    Arwen isn't after anyone as a tribute but we have liked that since before we had DS.
    We had intended it as a first name but thinking about it this week we decided that maybe Juliet was better for a first name and Arwen for a middle name, that way we still get to use it but also avoid the issues with people asking how to say it over and over again.

    Smiles- don't be sorry hun, I asked for opinions, that's what I want lol

    ... oooh you are gonna not like me but are you ok with the intitals being JAM ?

    Stick with what you love, that's just what we did ... and i think if you have loved Arwen for so long you will be so happy that you did use it as you may later regret not having used it if you didn't IYKWIM !!

    depends if you like Shakespeare or Tolkien or better, lol!

    I like Juliet Rose - "That which we call a rose. By any other name would smell as sweet."

    I also think it looks prettier spelt 'Juliette'

    Smiles- lol we already realised it would spell JAM but hey I guess it could spell worse thing ha ha

    Ree Ree- fair point, I'm a pretty darn big fan of both lol

    Boobaloo- Yeah its a bit tricky having such a simple last name and different first names. DS is Orlando Alexander Martin so I thought Juliet Arwen Martin might go with it ok?

    I like Juliet Rose Martin.

    Arwen Martin sounds a bit funny together. So Arwen would go better as a middle name as you wouldn't be saying it with the last name all the time ITMS.

    Eluned- I get what you mean, there's alot of eennnn noises happening there and its ounds funny when I say it out loud. Well that's it definitely a middle name candidate then lol

    I like all your name choices, however, with Arwen, as your DS is Orlando, I just keep thinking LOTR. Although in a few years time I'm sure this won't matter... I think the first name Juliet is lovely, and goes with your DS's name too.
