Completely changed the list!

General Name Discussion
1

I’ve just added a second middle name to all my names (many of which have been around for years!) I’ve added them to my list and I would love tons of ‘yay or nay’ votes based off which is better, two names, or three.

Here is the list, if I could trouble you to vote, more than likely again!

Now, here we go!

Well, as you mentioned on my post our taste is considerably different, but I definitely prefer two names instead of three. Imho, three is just a bit excessive =)

3

I’ve felt that way for so long, I think it gets to a point where you say, yes, but I love these names! I don’t know how to describe it, but I think it’s different for every namer.

4

I like:
[name]Evangeline[/name] [name]Eden[/name]
Margeaux Lively - the spelling is a bit busy, but I love the name

[name]Jasper[/name] [name]Marlowe[/name]

I generally prefer one middle name, but when combined well, three names can sound great as well, I just prefer these combinations of your list.

5

I personally have a very different style of names to you but from your list I like;

[name]Evangeline[/name] [name]Eden[/name] nn [name]Eve[/name]/[name]Evie[/name]
[name]Marion[/name] [name]Emmeline[/name] [name]Honor[/name]
[name]Penelope[/name] [name]Sabrina[/name] [name]Fainne[/name] nn [name]Penny[/name]/[name]Poppy[/name]
Siren (prefer [name]Seren[/name]) [name]Monet[/name]
[name]Cammeo[/name] [name]Eleanora[/name] - Prefer [name]Camille[/name] [name]Eleanora[/name]
[name]Jasper[/name] [name]Marlowe[/name]
[name]Benjamin[/name] [name]Willard[/name]

[name]Gwendolyn[/name] [name]Capri[/name] nn [name]Enna[/name] or [name]Gwendolyn[/name] [name]Capri[/name] Chilali (prn. Shuh-lay-lee) - for this one, I prefer just [name]Gwendolyn[/name] [name]Capri[/name]. The name is long enough and Chilali reminds me of ukelele

[name]Elaney[/name]-[name]Rose[/name] [name]Mercy[/name] nn Elro or [name]Elaney[/name] [name]Rose[/name] [name]Mercy[/name] (prn. [name]Elle[/name]-uh-nee) - I would not have known this is the prn you wanted. I would have said eh-lay-nee like [name]Elaine[/name]-y. Although I like the flow of all 3 names here, I always find it a bit odd to have two word names together.

[name]Evangeline[/name] [name]Eden[/name] nn [name]Angel[/name] or [name]Evangeline[/name] [name]Eden[/name] Eul”lia - [name]Evangeline[/name] [name]Eden[/name] seems very religious to me, esp with nn [name]Angel[/name]. But I love all the E’s!

Tigerlilly [name]Anne[/name] nn [name]Tally[/name] or Tigerlilly [name]Anne[/name] [name]Juniper[/name] - I can’t really see Tigerlilly as a person’s name. [name]Tally[/name] is a cute nn though and I love, love [name]Juniper[/name].

[name]Fallon[/name] Ovidia nn [name]Faye[/name] or [name]Fallon[/name] Ovidia [name]Ivy[/name] - For some reason with [name]Fallon[/name], I always think of falcons and talons so it doesn’t seem very feminine to me. But this may just be me :slight_smile: I do like [name]Ivy[/name] though.

Diella [name]Zorya[/name] nn [name]Didi[/name] or Diella [name]Zorya[/name] [name]Esther[/name] (prn. D-el-uh Zor-yuh) - I prefer just the 2 names with this one as I don’t think [name]Esther[/name] adds much. I’ve never seen Diella and may have said dye-ella without knowing.

Antanasia Louel nn [name]Tansy[/name] or Antanasia Louel [name]Wisteria[/name] - do you mean [name]Anastasia[/name]? I think [name]Anastasia[/name] is much prettier. I like [name]Wisteria[/name] too for an unexpected floral middle name but I don’t think it flows too well with the first name ending in -ia too.

[name]Mirabella[/name] Salsola nn [name]Mira[/name]-B or [name]Mirabella[/name] Salsola [name]Zinnia[/name] (prn [name]Say[/name]-sol-uh) - I [name]LOVE[/name] [name]Zinnia[/name]! [name]Mirabelle[/name] [name]Zinnia[/name] - gorgeous!

[name]Kensington[/name] [name]Isobel[/name] nn Kensing or [name]Kensington[/name] [name]Isobel[/name] Jozepha - I’d stick with [name]Kensington[/name] [name]Isobel[/name] on this one; [name]Kensington[/name] is too masculine for my taste but that’s just me.

[name]Ireland[/name] [name]Elizabeth[/name] nn [name]Isa[/name] or [name]Ireland[/name] [name]Elizabeth[/name] Isley - a lot of the same sounds are repeated here. [name]How[/name] about [name]Ireland[/name] [name]Honor[/name] or [name]Ireland[/name] [name]Zorya[/name]?

[name]Marion[/name] [name]Wisteria[/name] nn [name]Mari[/name] or [name]Marion[/name] [name]Emmeline[/name] [name]Honor[/name] - love [name]Wisteria[/name] with the more staid [name]Marion[/name]!

Margeaux Lively nn Maiszie or Margeaux Lively [name]Mirielle[/name] - [name]Margaux[/name] doesn’t have the e (an ‘e’ would make the g use the j sound in French). I love the alliteration of [name]Margaux[/name] [name]Mirielle[/name]!

[name]Penelope[/name] [name]Fainne[/name] nn [name]Lupe[/name] or [name]Penelope[/name] [name]Sabrina[/name] [name]Fainne[/name] - Again, I think I’d stick with 2 here. I love both [name]Penelope[/name] and [name]Sabrina[/name] but that’s a lot of syllables!

[name]Jacqueline[/name] [name]Orabela[/name] nn [name]Jai[/name] or [name]Jacqueline[/name] [name]Orabela[/name] [name]Esperanza[/name] - [name]Jacqueline[/name] always seems dated to me and I don’t really like it paired with the spanish [name]Esperanza[/name]. I’ve never seen [name]Orabela[/name] before.

Siren [name]Monet[/name] nn [name]Si[/name] or Siren [name]Monet[/name] [name]Reveka[/name] - I really discourage the use of Siren as a given name - it doesn’t have a nice meaning mythologically or in modern times. [name]Do[/name] you like the Welsh [name]Seren[/name]? [name]Seren[/name] [name]Monet[/name] sounds nice I think.

[name]Beatrix[/name] Sia or [name]Ghislaine[/name] [name]Beatrix[/name] Sia

Mathile Tulli nn [name]Tilly[/name] or [name]Mathilde[/name] Tulli [name]Amarillis[/name] - If using nn [name]Tilly[/name], I think I would skip the middle Tulli as it sounds really similar. [name]Mathilde[/name] or [name]Matilda[/name] [name]Amarillis[/name] would be my choice.

Alyscia [name]Noel[/name] nn [name]Alyse[/name] or Alyscia Naylea [name]Noel[/name] (prn. [name]Ah[/name]-lee-see-uh Nay-lee-uh). I would not have pronounced Alyscia as you’ve written. I would have said it like [name]Alicia[/name]

[name]Cammeo[/name] [name]Eleanora[/name] nn Camme or [name]Cammeo[/name] [name]Eleanora[/name] [name]Vrai[/name] (prn. [name]El[/name]-lee-uh-nor-uh). I like pp’s suggestion of [name]Camille[/name] [name]Eleanora[/name] better (but I think I’m probably more traditional than you are). If gong with [name]Cameo[/name] I would just use one ‘m’.

Boys

[name]Benjamin[/name] [name]Willard[/name] nn [name]Jamie[/name] or [name]Benjamin[/name] [name]Willard[/name] [name]Amir[/name] - both have great flow; I can’t decide which I like better.

[name]Jasper[/name] [name]Marlowe[/name] nn [name]Jazz[/name] or [name]Jasper[/name] [name]Marlowe[/name] [name]Dominic[/name] - great combo!

[name]Carston[/name] [name]Rhett[/name] nn [name]Kit[/name] or [name]Carston[/name] [name]Rowen[/name] [name]Rhett[/name] - again, great flow!

[name]Jonas[/name] Gratian nn [name]Joey[/name] or [name]Jonas[/name] [name]Liam[/name] Gratian - I would say [name]Jonas[/name] [name]William[/name]

[name]Jesse[/name] [name]Shade[/name] nn [name]Jess[/name] or [name]Jesse[/name] [name]Leonid[/name] [name]Shade[/name] - I don’t really care for any of these 3 names

[name]Damian[/name] [name]Africa[/name] nn [name]Ian[/name] or [name]Damian[/name] [name]Africa[/name] [name]Hart[/name] - not really into this one either, especially when compared with your first three
