Simon + LN ?

Simon would be my top choice, but DH has firmly vetoed it, so this is partly a pointless post and partly to maybe help me move on, lol. 

I LOVE Simon, but would you avoid using it with a last name (2 syllables) that ends in -son? because of the similar end sounds? I don't think it sounds *bad*, just maybe not as good as a name that didn't end in a similar sound.

I tried it out with Simon Jackson and I think it sounds fine! Sorry that I am not any help! I know what it is like to have a DH who vetos the great names! :)

I love the name Simon!

I think that it would sound fine.

GL! :)

I think that you can do better! FWIW, my alltime fave boy name is Nathan. I've loved it since I was a little girl and always imagined a son with this name. But DH vetoed it immediately. Just mourn it and move on.

I know. Sigh. I'm trying. Felix is my current top choice, and DH isn't as excited about it as I am but at least hasn't said no. I'll probably bring up Simon one more time if we find out we're having a boy (he tends to change his mind a lot), and if he still hates it I'll be done.

Thanks for the responses!

It took some compromise on my part, but I eventually talked DH into my top pick for DS2. So, there's still hope. GL!

I'm sorry :(  I love Simon (vetoed here too because DH has a cousin named Simon, same ln), and I think it would sound fine with your ln. Maybe DH will still come around? Mine had firmly vetoed too, only to come back around and be okay with it!

I understand your Simon issue. It's my favorite and DH vetoed it. But, I think as long as your last name doesn't start with S, you're fine.
