✨ a combo you used to love, and still secretly do

the first one that comes to mind is Antigone Alice - a big dramatic name with a sweet middle. I still really like the name but I think I would be more likely to go just Tiggy or Antigone as a middle. I’m kind of leaning towards shorter, friendly, approachable first names whereas Antigone - as sparkly and gorgeous as she is - feels a bit intimidating (which can be both positive and negative).

I don’t think I’ll ever not love:

[name_m]Simon[/name_m] [name_m]Alexander[/name_m], [name_u]George[/name_u] [name_m]Tobio[/name_m], [name_f]Eira[/name_f] [name_f]Juliet[/name_f] or [name_f]Mira[/name_f] [name_f]Frances[/name_f], even though none of them are on my proper lists anymore.

I’m not super in love with either name any more, and someone pointed out that [name_f]Catherine[/name_f] is the patron saint of [name_f]Siena[/name_f] in [name_f]Italy[/name_f], turning me off the combo a bit, but I still love the sound!

Always will be my favorite. Still on my UC but it’s now more of a GP than a usable name.

Others (most from my early 2016 signature when I first hopped onto nameberry) not on my list anymore:
[name_f]Freya[/name_f] [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] :cherry_blossom:
[name_f]Audra[/name_f] [name_u]Sloane[/name_u] :open_book:

Definitely my old [name_f]Elisabeth[/name_f] combos: [name_f]Elisabeth[/name_f] [name_f]Iris[/name_f] and [name_u]Wren[/name_u] [name_f]Elisabeth[/name_f]

I can’t use [name_f]Elisabeth[/name_f] anyway, but I also have felt like neither of these combos are really “my style” anymore, even though I love them. [name_u]Wren[/name_u] as a first name, in particular, was a short-lived love a few years ago, but I do still think it’s sweet, especially with a classic mn.

I used to want to use that name Laurelin (pronounced similar to Lorilyn) I didn’t even now if it was a real name, I combined my name and my sister’s and thought it sounded “normal enough” to be an actual name.
