Any ideas on a baby name to match surname Pate?

Hi, we are struggling to choose a name for our baby, for girls we have Amelie, Matilda, Scarlett %26amp; Kaylee and for boys we have Harrison, Max, Noah %26amp; Zac. It has to match surname Pate. What do you think of these or do you have any other suggestions? Thanks!

Any ideas on a baby name to match surname Pate?
With a one syllable surname, you need to choose at least 2 syllables for the first name or it sounds weird. We have a one syllable last name and we all have at least 2 syllables in our first names (of course it is my married name so it is just coincidence that my name has 2 syllables).





From your list, I like Amelia, Scarlett, Harrison and Noah. Here are some others that popped into my head:


Girls: Tierney, Bethany, Annalise, Lucy, Jenna, Cassandra, Allyson, Colbi, Sophie,


Boys: Jackson, Aidan, Emery, Oliver, Wilson, Camden, Taylor, Emerson, Andrew, Jonathan
Reply:Amelie Pate - simply beautiful, I love French names! How about:





Madeleine Pate


Gisele Pate


Annaliese Pate


Adalynn Pate


Gracelynn Pate


Cadence Pate


Renee Pate





"Pate" is a great surname to work with really, it's short enough to flow well with most names. I would suggest choosing a 2 or even 3-4 syllable name to balance out the 1-syllable sound in your surname. Personally, "Scarlett Pate" sounds pretty but perhaps a little too harsh in my opinion with the many "t" sounds in there altogether. "Kaylee Pate" however is so flowing and melodic - definately a winner there!





As for your boys' list, "Harrison Pate" is just wonderful! It's a well put-together name with flow and rythm. It just looks great written down and said aloud too - I think you have your pick with that one! I would lengthen Max to Maxwell and Zac to Zacchary for formality and keep the "Max" and "Zac" as nicknames to give baby more options as to what he wants to go by [if baby is a "he" that is!].





Other suggestions:





Caleb Pate


Caden Pate


Jordon Pate

Samuel Pate


Elijah Pate


Warren Pate


Aaron Pate


Micah Pate


Ewan Pate


Evan Pate


Myles Pate








Good luck !!

Reply:Go with the flow. A single syllable surname should have a multisyllable first name to avoid sounding choppy and harsh. That eliminates Max and Zac. Harrison (Harry or Hank) is OK if you don't mind the constant Indiana Jones comparisons. To me, Noah is your best choice for a boy's name.





Sound-wise, all the girl's names work. I prefer Amelie; it's a gorgeous name and has multiple nns to choose from (Amy, Melly, Lee). Scarlett and Kaylee are way too trendy and fail the doctor/president test (Dr. Scarlett Pate, President Kaylee Pate). Neither name will "grow" with a child. Matilda is a pretty name making a comeback but, with your last name, rates high on the fuddy-duddy scale.





Good luck to you. You're on the right track.
Reply:You have some of my favorite names listed there :)


Amelie is great, I also like Amelia. So many nicknames from Amelie/Amelia :)


Matilda is a favorite of mine, again, heaps of nicknames!


Scarlett is nice - Charlotte is one of my favorite names.


Kaylee - gorgeous name, but SO common!!


Harrison is great and I love love love Harry!!


Max is awesome too.


Noah is sweet, but common.


Zac is great.


I would choose from Amelia or Matilda - therefore Matilda.


And can't decide between Harrison, Max and Zac...hmm...probably Zac!!
Reply:Amelie, Matilda and Scarlett are great choices! Kaylee is cutesy, trendy, and doesn't look like a serious name. Use Michaela if you like the nickname Kaylee.





I think Harrison Pate is the best from the boy's list - but here are more you may like:





Oliver Pate


Jackson Pate


Cole Pate


Julian Pate


Micah Pate

EDIT: Just have a look at the answers above me! You wouldn't think that you would have to type "serious answers only" but clearly you do! what a disgrace! however, you have to laugh at the idea of Mary Kate Pate.

Reply:I don't like the name Scarlett, but I love the names Amelie, Matilda and Kaylee. I don't like the names Harrison and Max, but I love the name Noah. I think if you name him Zac, it should be spelled Zach, and his name should be Zachary. Zach should be his nickname.
