Vowel vowel & consonant consonant
Meliss & I were discussing potential baby names for our fourth kid today. It seems to me, that first name / middle name mixtures sound more "flowing" if the first letters are either both vowels, or both consonants. For example, Anya Cecilia was a potential name, but it didn't seem to have any rhythmic flow, if you know what I mean. Take another potential name, Anya Elizabeth, which rolls off the tongue with so much more finesse. A boy name we (I) discussed was Cailan Ramsey. I only then realized that his initials would be C.R.S. I dunno about most people, but I see CRS, then relate it to the acronym for, "can't remember sh*t".
"Hi, please write your initials, here, here & here, to agree to terms of your mortgage, Mr. Sicat," said the broker.
"Sure thing," Cailan responded, as he initialed all the required lines.
"Sir, I didn't realize your middle initial started with an "r". You know that makes your initials the same as the acronym for can't remember sh*t. Ahahahahahahahaha!!"
"I went through childhood and everyone teased me about that. I used to get picked on by EVERYONE. Are you making fun of me??? I made a vow in my ninja training to dismember anyone who made fun of me furthermore. You shall taste the wind of my blade upon your soul for mocking me!" Cailan boasted as he swiped his cold steel blade upon the broker's.........
Sorry, got carried away there. >_<
