Landon is so popular and I don't love the alliteration.</p> <p>@lawbee11: haha! I was thinking about A Walk to Remember too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thoughts-on-this-name#post-822477 Fri, 31 May 2013 15:06:55 +0000 googly-eyes 822477@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think the alliteration is a huge deal so long as your last name is more than one syllable. Just my personal opinion. I say go with the name you like more...</p> <p>Fwiw, I voted for Collin because I like it more. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thoughts-on-this-name#post-822471 Fri, 31 May 2013 15:05:18 +0000 kjpugs 822471@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used the last name "lee" in my mind to say them, and I think Collin Lee tripped me up a LOT more than Landon Lee. I LOVE Landon Carter Lee but I guess what your real last name is matters more :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thoughts-on-this-name#post-822468 Fri, 31 May 2013 15:04:37 +0000 heffalump 822468@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What about Collin Landon if you like those two names? People won't be using the middle name much so the alliteration won't matter as much with a middle name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thoughts-on-this-name#post-822458 Fri, 31 May 2013 15:01:22 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 822458@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Alivoo01: I was scared to say it, because I didn't want to hurt any feelings :)</p> <p>Full disclosure: I am partial to Landon since it's the mister's middle name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thoughts-on-this-name#post-822443 Fri, 31 May 2013 14:57:31 +0000 Alivoo01 822443@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: OMG!! I told the hubby the same thing (about the human organ) when the hubby suggested it. He called me crazy. Glad I'm not the only one! lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thoughts-on-this-name#post-822418 Fri, 31 May 2013 14:52:39 +0000 Smurfette 822418@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I vote Collin cause it will probably be our name if we ever have a boy </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thoughts-on-this-name#post-822407 Fri, 31 May 2013 14:49:46 +0000 lamariniere 822407@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH, DS and I are all LL (which puts pressure on naming baby#2!). I was LL before I got married too. </p> <p>That said, I prefer Collin to Landon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thoughts-on-this-name#post-822406 Fri, 31 May 2013 14:49:38 +0000 Foodnerd81 822406@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Either way you have two L sounds, so I think they would be OK with an L last name (I'm picturing it with different L names now). I slightly prefer Landon but I really do like both. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thoughts-on-this-name#post-822400 Fri, 31 May 2013 14:47:56 +0000 wheres_c 822400@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like Colin, but I've never seen it spelled Collin before.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thoughts-on-this-name#post-822394 Fri, 31 May 2013 14:47:11 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 822394@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Collin still has the L issue. I think I would prefer to have the L at the beginning than in the middle. One of my favorite names from here uses alliteration with two H's. Sometimes it gets stuck in my head because it rolls so well.</p> <p>But I have an issue with Colin because it sounds so much like a human organ. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thoughts-on-this-name#post-822388 Fri, 31 May 2013 14:44:34 +0000 Mrs. Cowgirl 822388@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love the name Landon, but the one syllable L last name reminds me of Lois Lane or Lana Lang ;) I do like Collin as well, but know several Collins! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thoughts-on-this-name#post-822382 Fri, 31 May 2013 14:42:28 +0000 Alivoo01 822382@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: Not sure why the two L's vs one. I always spelled it with two! I'll have to share this with the hubby and get his thoughts on it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thoughts-on-this-name#post-821936 Fri, 31 May 2013 11:51:24 +0000 Weagle 821936@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really like Collin, but I don't love Maddox. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thoughts-on-this-name#post-821932 Fri, 31 May 2013 11:50:07 +0000 regberadaisy 821932@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like Collin Maddox L. But why two Ls in Collin? I would always want to spell it with one L. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thoughts-on-this-name#post-821931 Fri, 31 May 2013 11:49:10 +0000 Cherrybee 821931@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like Landon. Lyndon was one of my potential boys names, actually (which is close). I like both middle names. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thoughts-on-this-name#post-821927 Fri, 31 May 2013 11:48:35 +0000 lovehoneybee 821927@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love the name Collin! Colin was on my short list but DH vetoed it :(</p> <p>I also really love the name Landon, though...ever since reading the Thursday Next series, so I'm not really much help! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thoughts-on-this-name#post-821916 Fri, 31 May 2013 11:45:02 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 821916@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Landon is one of my favorites names. Names with alliteration sound good to me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thoughts-on-this-name#post-821802 Fri, 31 May 2013 11:12:21 +0000 lilteacherbee 821802@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lawbee11: Ahhh That makes so much sense!! I never saw the movie (I know, crazy right?), but it was filmed in my hometown and I know like 20 Landon's under the age of 6! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thoughts-on-this-name#post-821793 Fri, 31 May 2013 11:10:23 +0000 .twist. 821793@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lawbee11: OMG~! I knew I recognized the name from somewhere but I COULD NOT place it! LOOOOL. Hilarious. </p> <p>I voted Collin! It flows really nicely. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thoughts-on-this-name#post-821788 Fri, 31 May 2013 11:10:08 +0000 stargal 821788@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i like Landon! i dont think the last name would stop me from using it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thoughts-on-this-name#post-821785 Fri, 31 May 2013 11:09:04 +0000 lindseykaye 821785@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I voted for Collin because of the L/L factor. Full discolsure that my DH is named Collin and I happen to think it's an awesome name (especially with two L's)! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thoughts-on-this-name#post-821722 Fri, 31 May 2013 10:52:02 +0000 lawbee11 821722@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Collin (this was one of my top choices for a boy)! </p> <p>Ok, it's really lame that I know this, but Landon Carter is the name of Shane West's character in A Walk to Remember, so that's all I can think of when I saw that name. I don't think your DS's peers would know that, though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thoughts-on-this-name#post-821721 Fri, 31 May 2013 10:51:35 +0000 lilteacherbee 821721@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love Collin! It was one of my favorites, but I couldn't get DH on board. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thoughts-on-this-name#post-821715 Fri, 31 May 2013 10:50:49 +0000 birdofafeather 821715@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like Landon but it might be too much with the L last name. I still voted for it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thoughts-on-this-name#post-821700 Fri, 31 May 2013 10:46:03 +0000 Springtime 821700@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I voted for Collin! I like the middle name Maddox as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thoughts-on-this-name#post-821695 Fri, 31 May 2013 10:44:58 +0000 Alivoo01 821695@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're debating between 2 names right now for DS (Collin and Landon). Our last name starts with a L and is one syllable. Hubby thinks Landon L has too much alliteration to it; and is liking Collin Maddox L. What do you think of it?</p> <p>Feel free to suggest a different middle name also. Hubby and I don't have middle names so this is new territory for us! </p>
