Hey! Been letting my list simmer and now playing around with fresh eyes. I’m feeling more confident with the “comfy” and light names I’ve been exploring, as well as some unisex and heavier “steampunk” type ones. I’m getting my list a little bit smaller (one step forward, two steps back), and have some I love more than others, but don’t want to disregard them either.
If anyone feels like playing around with combos to give me some new ideas, that would be awesome!
These are what I’m feeling for firsts, though they’d work as middles too:
[name_m]Adalius[/name_m] nn [name_f]Addy[/name_f]
[name_m]Androcles[/name_m] nn [name_u]Andy[/name_u]
[name_m]Aragon[/name_m] nn [name_u]Ari[/name_u]
[name_m]Aries[/name_m]
[name_m]Atlas[/name_m] nn [name_f]Atty[/name_f]
[name_m]Cassius[/name_m] nn [name_u]Cass[/name_u]
[name_m]Ciaran[/name_m]
[name_f]Garnet[/name_f] nn [name_u]Jem[/name_u]
[name_u]Indigo[/name_u] nn [name_f]Indy[/name_f]
[name_f]Indy[/name_f]
[name_u]Jem[/name_u]
[name_m]Magnus[/name_m]
[name_u]Marley[/name_u]*
Mariner nn [name_u]Ari[/name_u]*
[name_u]River[/name_u]
[name_u]Rory[/name_u]
[name_u]Schuyler[/name_u] nn [name_u]Sky[/name_u]
[name_f]Starling[/name_f] nn [name_f]Star[/name_f]
[name_f]Summer[/name_f] nn [name_u]Sunny[/name_u]*
[name_m]Wilder[/name_m] nn [name_m]Wiley[/name_m]
[name_m]Wiley[/name_m]
These are more middles for me:
[name_m]Alonzo[/name_m]*
[name_m]Adrian[/name_m]
[name_m]Anchor[/name_m]
[name_m]Aurelian[/name_m]/us
[name_u]Cassidy[/name_u]
[name_u]Cruz[/name_u]
[name_m]Eddy[/name_m]*
[name_u]Fable[/name_u]
[name_u]Harbor[/name_u]
[name_m]Iagan[/name_m]
[name_m]Knight[/name_m]*
Marinus*
[name_u]Mars[/name_u]*
[name_u]Mica[/name_u]
[name_m]Oceanus[/name_m]
[name_m]Octavius[/name_m]
[name_m]Roswell[/name_m]*
[name_u]Rowan[/name_u]
[name_u]Salem[/name_u]
[name_u]Sky[/name_u]
[name_u]Stevie[/name_u]*
[name_u]Sunny[/name_u]*
[name_u]Teddy[/name_u]*
[name_f]Topaz[/name_f]
[name_u]Van[/name_u]*
Names related to water are particularly significant to me, and those I have starred are connected to family or their names. That’s not really necessary as much as a tie breaker for me. I
Typically I like combining styles and familiarity in combos with two middle names. I like to put something cute with something a little more serious, something unusual or androgynous with something familiar, etc.
Thanks for the help! …And if something feels totally me that is not on my list, feel free to make a suggestion!
@rosejuliet I hadn’t thought of just plain [name_u]Ocean[/name_u], but it is a very cool idea. I’m gonna let it soak in. (ha ha…) I really like the flow of [name_m]Ciaran[/name_m] [name_m]Wiley[/name_m] [name_m]Knight[/name_m]. [name_m]Atlas[/name_m] [name_m]Aurelian[/name_m] [name_u]Mars[/name_u] sounds like a cool fantasy hero and [name_f]Garnet[/name_f] [name_m]Eddy[/name_m] [name_u]Ocean[/name_u] makes me think of a surfer from a teen beach movie. Super evocative!
@kityne My favorites are [name_u]Rory[/name_u] [name_m]Octavius[/name_m] [name_u]Mars[/name_u] and [name_u]Marley[/name_u] [name_m]Cassius[/name_m] [name_u]Harbor[/name_u]. [name_m]Octavius[/name_m] and [name_u]Mars[/name_u] are so cool together!
@greyblue I like how [name_u]Indigo[/name_u] [name_m]Ciaran[/name_m] [name_u]Sky[/name_u] still has that skyline imagery but is broken up by a different middle. Mariner [name_u]Teddy[/name_u] [name_m]Knight[/name_m] is so cool in how it uses all words yet manages to sound perfectly name-y. [name_u]Marley[/name_u] [name_m]Alonzo[/name_m] [name_u]River[/name_u] and [name_m]Magnus[/name_m] [name_m]Adrian[/name_m] [name_f]Summer[/name_f] have great flow.
@sunniva I love the look of [name_u]Rory[/name_u] [name_u]Van[/name_u] [name_u]Schuyler[/name_u] and how they’re all individually unisex names, yet together feel like a boy’s name. [name_m]Atlas[/name_m] and [name_u]Fable[/name_u] together is daring just the way I like. I know [name_u]Mica[/name_u] with the h is more common, but I actually have a connection to the mineral.
