Y’all. I am procrastinating report writing to post this. We recently thought I might be pregnant but turned out to be a false alarm. I’m still kinda sad about it and dreaming about a potential future daughter. Before we found out our first was a boy, we could not agree on a girl’s name, so I’d like to keep working on my combos. Any suggestions or feedback based on these?
[name_f]Ivy[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f]
[name_f]Daphne[/name_f] [name_f]Martha[/name_f]
[name_f]Diana[/name_f] [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f]
[name_f]Kathleen[/name_f] “[name_f]Kat[/name_f]” [name_f]Iris[/name_f]
[name_f]Shoshana[/name_f] [name_f]Pearl[/name_f]
[name_u]Audie[/name_u] [name_f]Florence[/name_f] (I love [name_u]Audie[/name_u], but [name_f]Claudia[/name_f] might be the name DH agrees to to get the nn)
[name_f]Anita[/name_f] [name_f]Augusta[/name_f]
[name_f]Lydia[/name_f] [name_f]Kathleen[/name_f]
I like the idea of [name_f]Martha[/name_f] as a FN but don’t know what I’d pair with it. I also like the idea of [name_f]Sally[/name_f] but don’t have combos for that either. I’m always amazed by people’s abilities to make stunning combos for all sorts of names and styles, so I hope this can help occupy everyone’s quarantine time! [name_f]TIA[/name_f]!
[name_f]Ivy[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] – This is darling! I love how sweet and simplistic it is.
[name_f]Daphne[/name_f] [name_f]Martha[/name_f] – [name_u]LOVE[/name_u] [name_f]Daphne[/name_f], but not a huge fan of [name_f]Martha[/name_f] personally. [name_m]Even[/name_m] despite personal taste, something about the names together sounds off to me. I would definitely recommend finding a different middle for [name_f]Daphne[/name_f] and put [name_f]Martha[/name_f] in her own combo as the fn.
[name_f]Diana[/name_f] [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f] – What an absolutely beautiful combo! So distinct and classy.
[name_f]Kathleen[/name_f] “[name_f]Kat[/name_f]” [name_f]Iris[/name_f] – Not my favorite. The flow isn’t great, imho.
[name_f]Shoshana[/name_f] [name_f]Pearl[/name_f] – It’s definitely fine, flows well and all, but not a huge fan of [name_f]Shoshana[/name_f] myself. What about [name_f]Martha[/name_f] here? [name_f]Martha[/name_f] [name_f]Pearl[/name_f]? ([name_f]Daphne[/name_f] [name_f]Shoshana[/name_f] has a better flow, too, I think.)
[name_u]Audie[/name_u] [name_f]Florence[/name_f] – [name_f]Claudia[/name_f] [name_f]Florence[/name_f] would be so stunning! I definitely think “[name_u]Audie[/name_u]” works better as a nn. But overall, great! (And that’s coming from someone who is generally not big on [name_f]Florence[/name_f].)
[name_f]Anita[/name_f] [name_f]Augusta[/name_f] – The flow is kind of off with this one. The names are both three-syllables, end with ‘a’ and start with ‘A’… It’s not really working for me, tbh.
So, overall, [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f], [name_f]Diana[/name_f] [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f], [name_f]Claudia[/name_f] [name_f]Florence[/name_f], and [name_f]Lydia[/name_f] [name_f]Kathleen[/name_f] are my favorites. They all stand out as quite classy and fabulous!
I like [name_f]Martha[/name_f] [name_f]Pearl[/name_f] and [name_f]Martha[/name_f] [name_f]Caroline[/name_f]. [name_f]Sally[/name_f] [name_f]Augusta[/name_f] and [name_f]Sally[/name_f] [name_f]Magnolia[/name_f] are stunning!
[name_f]Martha[/name_f], [name_u]Audie[/name_u], and [name_f]Daphne[/name_f] are family names. [name_f]Augusta[/name_f] is where my mom was born, and I like the idea of using it as an honor name. Probably should have said that in the beginning!
I like the suggestion of switching around a couple of combos to [name_f]Daphne[/name_f] [name_f]Shoshana[/name_f] and [name_f]Martha[/name_f] [name_f]Pearl[/name_f]. It does bother me a little that [name_f]Daphne[/name_f] [name_f]Shoshana[/name_f] is so botanical ([name_f]Daphne[/name_f] meaning “laurel” and [name_f]Shoshana[/name_f] meaning "[name_f]Lily[/name_f]), but not as much as a more literal combo like [name_f]Laurel[/name_f] [name_f]Lily[/name_f] might. [name_f]Daphne[/name_f] [name_f]Augusta[/name_f] would be lovely, too.
From the rest of your combos, I like [name_f]Diana[/name_f] [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f] and [name_f]Claudia[/name_f] [name_f]Florence[/name_f] the best.
My favorite is [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f]! Classic and beautiful! I would put together [name_f]Lydia[/name_f] [name_f]Pearl[/name_f]–I think that’s stunning! [name_f]Martha[/name_f] [name_f]Pearl[/name_f] also definitely works. [name_f]Sally[/name_f] [name_f]Florence[/name_f] could work. [name_m]How[/name_m] do you feel about the name [name_f]Rosalind[/name_f]? [name_f]Sally[/name_f] [name_f]Rosalind[/name_f] is cute!
Other names you might like:
[name_f]Celeste[/name_f]
[name_f]Cecelia[/name_f]/[name_f]Celia[/name_f]
[name_f]Helena[/name_f]
[name_f]Penelope[/name_f]
[name_f]Winona[/name_f]
[name_f]Tess[/name_f]
I love [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f]! [name_f]Daphne[/name_f] [name_f]Martha[/name_f] and [name_f]Anita[/name_f] [name_f]Augusta[/name_f] don’t flow very well imo. I’ll suggest [name_u]Auden[/name_u] as full name for [name_u]Audie[/name_u], though I’m not sure that’s your style.
Oooh I like [name_f]Martha[/name_f] [name_f]Kathleen[/name_f] and [name_f]Martha[/name_f] [name_f]Shoshana[/name_f]! I also like [name_f]Daphne[/name_f] [name_f]Shoshana[/name_f] and didn’t consider it being too floral. I like the flow of it and wouldn’t shy away from it being doubly floral.
Thank y’all for the suggestions! I’ve added some combos to my list!
