No comment? :frowning:

[name_u]August[/name_u] [name_m]Sylvan[/name_m] – I like both of these names, and I think they work stylewise, but I am finding this combo difficult to say.

[name_u]August[/name_u] [name_m]Theodoric[/name_m] – I would prefer the softer [name_u]August[/name_u] [name_m]Theodore[/name_m]. It feels like [name_m]Theodoric[/name_m] adds a few too many consonants to [name_u]August[/name_u]. I do like the unique feel, though!

[name_m]David[/name_m] [name_m]Lucius[/name_m] – Nice! The strong [name_m]David[/name_m] with the soft, interesting [name_m]Lucius[/name_m] works really well. I do immediately think of [name_m]Lucius[/name_m] Malfoy from HP, but I think the name is usable.

[name_u]Dylan[/name_u] [name_m]Frederick[/name_m] – This is one of my favorites on your list. Handsome, and slightly unexpected without being over the top.

[name_m]Edgar[/name_m] [name_m]Thierry[/name_m] – I had not heard of [name_m]Thierry[/name_m] before, but I really love it! [name_m]Edgar[/name_m] [name_m]Thierry[/name_m] feels a bit heavy to me, but it has nice imagery.

[name_m]Edmund[/name_m] [name_m]Ludwig[/name_m] – This is kind of a tongue twister, although both names are handsome. [name_m]Edmund[/name_m] [name_m]Wesley[/name_m] would be amazing, if you were willing to move [name_m]Wesley[/name_m] to the middle spot. Both of these combos feel very heroic.

[name_m]Edward[/name_m] [name_m]Amaury[/name_m] – I absolutely love [name_m]Edward[/name_m], it is on my fn list as well. [name_m]Amaury[/name_m] is interesting. The combo flows nicely, if I am pronouncing [name_m]Amaury[/name_m] correctly!

[name_m]Emil[/name_m] [name_m]Orpheus[/name_m] – I really like how [name_m]Orpheus[/name_m] both grounds and elevates [name_m]Emil[/name_m]. Hopefully that makes sense. Great balance!

[name_m]Erik[/name_m] [name_m]Amadeus[/name_m] – Ooh, another favorite for me. [name_m]Erik[/name_m] is amazing and classic, and [name_m]Amadeus[/name_m] so handsome and unique. [name_u]Love[/name_u] it!

[name_m]Gareth[/name_m] [name_u]Florian[/name_u] – I am personally not a fan of either name, but it does work as a combo. The flow is good, and they match well.

[name_m]Gustav[/name_m] [name_m]Arthur[/name_m] – Great! [name_m]Gustav[/name_m] is wonderfully spunky, and [name_m]Arthur[/name_m] is a classic that still feels a bit unexpected. [name_m]Arthur[/name_m] [name_m]Gustav[/name_m] may flow better, though.

[name_m]Hugo[/name_m] Trevelyan – [name_m]Hugo[/name_m] is nms, but I can see the appeal. I have not heard of Trevelyan… I like it, although it feels a little heavy in this combo.

[name_m]Leon[/name_m] [name_m]Dmitri[/name_m] – The lighter feel of this is appealing to me. [name_m]Dmitri[/name_m] is nms, but I do love [name_m]Leon[/name_m]!

[name_m]Leon[/name_m] [name_m]Alaric[/name_m] – I definitely prefer this [name_m]Leon[/name_m] combo! It is fabulous. I love the spunky, fun, quirky vibe.

[name_m]Lewis[/name_m] [name_u]Dorian[/name_u] – So happy to see [name_m]Lewis[/name_m] being considered as a first! [name_u]Dorian[/name_u] is new to me, and I am surprised by how much I love it. Another favorite from the list.

[name_m]Magnus[/name_m] [name_m]Roland[/name_m] – I had forgotten about [name_m]Roland[/name_m]… it is really a handsome name. The combo works and flows well, but does feel heavy to me. Which is okay! [name_m]Just[/name_m] not exactly my style.

[name_m]Maximillian[/name_m] [name_u]Remy[/name_u] – [name_u]Remy[/name_u] surprised me here, but in a really great way! It is unexpected, light, and overall super charming. It compliments [name_m]Maximillian[/name_m], for sure.

[name_u]Milan[/name_u] [name_m]Clarence[/name_m] – I love [name_u]Milan[/name_u]! [name_m]Clarence[/name_m] grounds it, but maybe too much? I would love something like [name_u]Milan[/name_u] [name_m]Thierry[/name_m].

[name_u]Percy[/name_u] [name_m]Beowulf[/name_m] – I get a really, really strong mythological vibe from this… probably because of [name_u]Percy[/name_u] [name_m]Jackson[/name_m] But I do adore the name [name_u]Percy[/name_u] – handsome, spunky, and a tad mischievous. Would you like [name_u]Percy[/name_u] [name_m]Alaric[/name_m]?

[name_u]Robin[/name_u] [name_m]Lysander[/name_m] – Ahh, I [name_u]LOVE[/name_u] [name_u]Robin[/name_u]. My favorite boy name atm. I am struggling to come up with a combo, personally. I do like your [name_u]Robin[/name_u] [name_m]Lysander[/name_m]. They have different vibes imo, but [name_m]Lysander[/name_m] is nice and the flow is good. [name_u]Robin[/name_u] [name_m]Leander[/name_m], perhaps?

[name_m]Roman[/name_m] [name_m]Godfrey[/name_m] – All I hear is [name_m]Roman[/name_m] God. Sorry! I would suggest [name_m]Roman[/name_m] [name_m]Lysander[/name_m], [name_m]Roman[/name_m] [name_m]Frederick[/name_m], [name_m]Roman[/name_m] [name_m]Theodoric[/name_m], [name_m]Roman[/name_m] [name_m]Gareth[/name_m]…

[name_u]Tristan[/name_u] [name_u]Harley[/name_u] – This sticks out from your other favorites, but I like it! I have imagery of an adventurer :slight_smile: The flow is great, and the balance between the softer [name_u]Tristan[/name_u] and bolder [name_u]Harley[/name_u] really works.

[name_m]Wesley[/name_m] [name_m]Lorenzo[/name_m] – I truly love both names, but the flow/sound of this seems off. There are a lot of repeating sounds. [name_m]Wesley[/name_m] [name_m]David[/name_m], [name_m]Wesley[/name_m] [name_m]Roman[/name_m], and maybe even [name_m]Wesley[/name_m] [name_u]Florian[/name_u] are alternatives. And maybe [name_m]Magnus[/name_m] [name_m]Lorenzo[/name_m], [name_m]Gustav[/name_m] [name_m]Lorenzo[/name_m], or [name_m]Lorenzo[/name_m] [name_m]Arthur[/name_m]?

I hope this is helpful!

My favorites from your list are:
[name_u]August[/name_u] [name_m]Sylvan[/name_m]
[name_m]Edward[/name_m] [name_m]Amaury[/name_m]
[name_m]Erik[/name_m] [name_m]Amadeus[/name_m]
[name_m]Leon[/name_m] [name_m]Alaric[/name_m]
[name_m]Maximilian[/name_m] [name_u]Remy[/name_u]
[name_u]Tristan[/name_u] [name_u]Harley[/name_u]

I also think some of them would be very nice if the order was swapped. [name_u]Florian[/name_u] [name_m]Gareth[/name_m], [name_u]Dorian[/name_u] [name_m]Lewis[/name_m], [name_m]Clarence[/name_m] [name_u]Milan[/name_u], and [name_m]Lysander[/name_m] [name_u]Robin[/name_u] all appeal a little more to me than their original counterparts, if you’re open to swapping firsts and middles. Overall, though, your list is quite nice! I like the poetic sound of the names and the literary and historical references.

[name_u]August[/name_u] [name_m]Sylvan[/name_m] - I love [name_u]August[/name_u]! [name_m]Sylvan[/name_m] isn’t my style but I like the syl names with [name_u]August[/name_u].
[name_u]August[/name_u] [name_m]Theodoric[/name_m]- I love [name_u]August[/name_u] paired with [name_m]Theodoric[/name_m]. [name_m]Theodoric[/name_m] is new to me, actually. I’m not sure if i like it or not, but I do like it paired with august.

[name_m]Edmund[/name_m] [name_m]Ludwig[/name_m]- [name_m]Ludwig[/name_m] has just never rubbed me the right way. I think its the wig sound. I love [name_m]Edmund[/name_m] so much.
[name_m]Edward[/name_m] [name_m]Amaury[/name_m]- [name_m]Edward[/name_m] is a classic that everyone knows, and most love, so I love it. [name_m]Amaury[/name_m] ive never heard before.
[name_m]Emil[/name_m] [name_m]Orpheus[/name_m]- [name_m]Emil[/name_m] is nice, and [name_m]Orpheus[/name_m] is different. I like that [name_m]Emil[/name_m] is known and [name_m]Orpheus[/name_m] is more adventurous.

[name_u]August[/name_u] [name_m]Sylvan[/name_m]- very nice, the pairing is strong yet not overwhelmingly masculine, very balanced
[name_u]August[/name_u] [name_m]Theodoric[/name_m]- not as lovely as [name_m]Sylvan[/name_m]
[name_m]David[/name_m] [name_m]Lucius[/name_m]- not a fan of either name but a good flow

[name_m]Edward[/name_m] [name_m]Amaury[/name_m]- prefer [name_m]Edmund[/name_m], I like the flow,
[name_m]Emil[/name_m] [name_m]Orpheus[/name_m]- really like, [name_m]Emil[/name_m] now seems strong to me instead of wishy washy
[name_m]Erik[/name_m] [name_m]Amadeus[/name_m]- I like [name_m]Amadeus[/name_m] and the flow of this a lot,
[name_m]Gareth[/name_m] [name_u]Florian[/name_u]- prefer it swapped, I’m not a fan of [name_m]Gareth[/name_m]
[name_m]Gustav[/name_m] [name_m]Arthur[/name_m]- prefer it swapped
[name_m]Hugo[/name_m] Trevelyan- interesting, nice flow
[name_m]Leon[/name_m] [name_m]Dimitri[/name_m] or [name_m]Leon[/name_m] [name_m]Alaric[/name_m]- prefer [name_m]Alaric[/name_m], both are handsome
[name_m]Lewis[/name_m] [name_u]Dorian[/name_u]- doesn’t appeal to me, probably the [name_u]Dorian[/name_u] factor.
[name_m]Magnus[/name_m] [name_m]Roland[/name_m]- love [name_m]Magnus[/name_m], [name_m]Roland[/name_m] makes me think of round sponge cakes for some reason
[name_m]Maximilian[/name_m] [name_u]Remy[/name_u]- love both of these names individually, together I’m not sure. i like the image I get but not the names
[name_u]Milan[/name_u] [name_m]Clarence[/name_m]- double n sound is harsh
[name_u]Percy[/name_u] [name_m]Beowulf[/name_m]- okay
[name_u]Robin[/name_u] [name_m]Lysander[/name_m]- conflicting styles?
[name_m]Roman[/name_m] [name_m]Godfrey[/name_m]- I like [name_m]Roman[/name_m] but not with [name_m]Godfrey[/name_m]
[name_u]Tristan[/name_u] [name_u]Harley[/name_u]- very badboy, I love it.
[name_m]Wesley[/name_m] [name_m]Lorenzo[/name_m]- conflicting styles
