[name_f]Eliska[/name_f] [name_f]Seraphine[/name_f]: none of them are common names, but both are somewhat familiar ([name_f]Elle[/name_f]-names and [name_f]Seraphina[/name_f]/ [name_f]Sara[/name_f]).
[name_f]Alaska[/name_f] [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f]: because I’m into name meanings, it reminds me of “forest in [name_f]Alaska[/name_f]”; I prefer a less word-y and more normal middle for [name_f]Alaska[/name_f] - [name_f]Alaska[/name_f] [name_f]Veronica[/name_f] (too much KA/CA?) and [name_f]Alaska[/name_f] [name_f]Elowen[/name_f] (not exactly the “normal” I was looking for, I kinda like the [name_m]AL[/name_m]/[name_f]EL[/name_f] repeated sounds).
[name_u]Remi[/name_u] [name_f]Adelheid[/name_f] [name_f]Lux[/name_f]: [name_u]Remi[/name_u] is such a short name that 2 middles work perfectly (I prefer the I version, because it looks more feminine and I can’t imagine a boy-[name_u]Remi[/name_u], but can, a boy-[name_u]Remy[/name_u]).
[name_f]Annika[/name_f] [name_f]Maple[/name_f]: while [name_f]Maple[/name_f] is an unexpected middle and [name_f]Annika[/name_f] is not exactly a Top 10, it is a diminutive of [name_f]Anna[/name_f] and it has the possible nns of [name_f]Anne[/name_f], [name_f]Annie[/name_f], [name_u]Nikki[/name_u] and [name_f]Nika[/name_f] (which are in the “normal spectrum”).
[name_f]Vanessa[/name_f] [name_f]Fleur[/name_f], [name_f]Vanessa[/name_f] [name_f]Minerva[/name_f] and [name_f]Vanessa[/name_f] [name_f]Ireland[/name_f]: common + unusual.
[name_f]Vienna[/name_f] [name_f]Lux[/name_f]: again, [name_f]Vienna[/name_f] is not exactly a Top 10, but is has some really normal nns as [name_f]Vi[/name_f], [name_f]Vivi[/name_f] and [name_f]Anna[/name_f]. I keep thinking about the street lights of the city [name_f]Vienna[/name_f].
[name_f]Arabella[/name_f] [name_f]Seraphine[/name_f], [name_f]Arabella[/name_f] [name_f]Crimson[/name_f] and [name_f]Arabella[/name_f] [name_f]Velvet[/name_f]: see [name_f]Vienna[/name_f] [name_f]Lux[/name_f] and [name_f]Annika[/name_f] [name_f]Maple[/name_f]. Is it weird that I think [name_f]Arabella[/name_f] is a “red name”? [name_f]Arabella[/name_f] always reminds me of the red color, and I like how [name_f]Crimson[/name_f] and [name_f]Velvet[/name_f] increase this effect. PS: when I think “velvet”, the mental image that appears is that of red velvet wallpaper.
[name_f]Annabel[/name_f] [name_f]Zetta[/name_f] and [name_f]Annabel[/name_f] [name_u]Navy[/name_u] (alliteration, more or less): did you know [name_f]Arabella[/name_f] and [name_f]Annabel[/name_f] are the same name? While I like how [name_f]Annabel[/name_f] [name_u]Raven[/name_u] sounds, [name_f]Annabel[/name_f] [name_u]Lee[/name_u] and The [name_u]Raven[/name_u] are 2 [name_m]Edgar[/name_m] [name_m]Allan[/name_m] [name_u]Poe[/name_u] works (if you are a fan, it’s a great combo!).
[name_f]Nala[/name_f] [name_f]Natalie[/name_f]: unusual name with a more normal one; alliteration.
[name_u]Navy[/name_u] [name_f]Veronica[/name_f]: unusual + normal name. I don’t think [name_u]Navy[/name_u] [name_f]Lula[/name_f] works because “lula” in Portuguese means “squid”.
[name_f]Lilith[/name_f] [name_u]Elia[/name_u] and [name_f]Lilith[/name_f] [name_f]Fleur[/name_f]: for [name_f]Lilith[/name_f] [name_u]Elia[/name_u], see [name_f]Annika[/name_f]. [name_f]Lilith[/name_f] [name_f]Fleur[/name_f] can be cute or too much depending on the individual, because the most obvious nickname for [name_f]Lilith[/name_f] is [name_f]Lily[/name_f], a flower, and [name_f]Fleur[/name_f] is flower in [name_m]French[/name_m].
[name_f]Noemi[/name_f] [name_f]Eluned[/name_f] and [name_f]Noemi[/name_f] [name_f]Savannah[/name_f]
[name_f]Tigerlily[/name_f] [name_f]Tabitha[/name_f]: unusual name with a more normal one; I personally love alliteration (as you can probably notice).
