We're having a boy. The name we like is Wyland but our last name is Nock. I am concerned that together they sound like one word due to the strong "n" sound at the end of the first name that leads into our last name. It kind of sounds like Wylanock to me. I think the last letter (or sound) of the first name should be different than the first letter of the last name. My husband doesn't mind and thinks I'm overreacting. He thinks people will pause between names and even if they don't people wouldn't use his full name often. I agree as a kid but am concerned about later in life in his career. He will definitely identify himself using his first and last name often. I do it daily when making business calls.
Please let me know your thoughts on the name itself and on the issue of the end of the first same sounding like the beginning of the last. Thank you!
