Realistically,
[name_f]Margaret[/name_f] [name_f]Claire[/name_f] “Maisie” - this has long been one of my favorite combinations! [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] honors my best friend, and I think it’s such a sweet name. [name_f]Claire[/name_f] is also an honor, and I love it with [name_f]Margaret[/name_f].
[name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] “Ella” - [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] honors, of course, [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] [name_u]Bennet[/name_u], as well as one of my aunts, less directly. It’s also a family name, and it’s so strong. [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] is mostly just a name I love, and it’s so strong–and it just sounds literary!
[name_u]Ivy[/name_u] [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] “Josie” - [name_u]Ivy[/name_u] is for a close family member; [name_f]Josephine[/name_f], of course, honors the iconic [name_u]March[/name_u] sister, who was my best friend in fifth grade. I had a copy of [name_m]Little[/name_m] Women that never left my side. The initials, IJ, also honor a family member.
[name_u]Sierra[/name_u] [name_f]Mabry[/name_f] - [name_u]Sierra[/name_u] isn’t an honor, but [name_f]Mabry[/name_f] does honor where I grew up (Austin)
[name_f]Maggie[/name_f], [name_f]Ella[/name_f], [name_u]Josie[/name_u], and [name_u]Sierra[/name_u]
