Yay for more responses! I am getting really excited about some of these combo ideas!
watz - Thanks! I adore the whimsical magical-but-grounded feeling of nature names in the middle slot. You have some great suggestions! I adore [name_f]Reverie[/name_f] and would use it in a heartbeat if Hubby would only let me, and [name_u]River[/name_u] is on my list as a first. [name_f]Cosima[/name_f] [name_u]Winter[/name_u], [name_f]Cosima[/name_f] [name_u]Sage[/name_u], and [name_f]Cosima[/name_f] [name_f]Fleur[/name_f] are all lovely. I really like [name_f]Meadow[/name_f], but with [name_f]Cosima[/name_f] I feel that the M sounds run together too much.
aimee - I’m a little behind on my season 2 episodes, but it sounds like I am missing out and need to catch up! [name_f]Cosima[/name_f] [name_f]Willow[/name_f] is GORGEOUS and would immediately be on the list of we didn’t have [name_f]Willow[/name_f] as a middle for [name_f]Alice[/name_f]. I’ll have to see how Hubby feels about rearranging that combo. I like [name_f]Ivy[/name_f], [name_f]Starling[/name_f], and [name_f]Miriam[/name_f] but I’m not sure how well I like them with [name_f]Cosima[/name_f]. I’m so picky with flow, isn’t that awful?
zz - Ooh, congratulations! I think [name_f]Cosima[/name_f] is an excellent choice I kind of love the idea of [name_f]Cosima[/name_f] [name_f]Lily[/name_f]…I’ve never been attracted to the name [name_f]Lily[/name_f] on its own or as a first, but my mom’s middle name is [name_f]Lillie[/name_f] and she loves tiger lilies so it could be a potential honor name. [name_f]Cosima[/name_f] [name_f]Saffron[/name_f] is absolutely swoonworthy! Hubby vetoed [name_f]Saffron[/name_f] ages ago because of the Firefly character, but maybe I can convince him to reconsider… [name_f]My[/name_f] other favorite from your list is [name_f]Cosima[/name_f] [name_f]Blythe[/name_f]. I usually have an irrational dislike of B names on girls, but [name_f]Blythe[/name_f] is so dreamy and sweet.
maple - I kind of love that the name is so unusual but still manages to feel familiar! I get some of the same vibes you do from [name_f]Cosima[/name_f], all dark blues and purples, stars and silks. As for the sibset, it would not just be [name_f]Cosima[/name_f] and [name_m]Caspian[/name_m]. [name_u]Zion[/name_u] is ahead of [name_m]Caspian[/name_m] on the boys list, and [name_m]Balthazar[/name_m] and [name_m]Solomon[/name_m] are sort of on the same tier as [name_m]Caspian[/name_m]. [name_f]Alice[/name_f] and [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f] are both ahead of [name_f]Cosima[/name_f] on the girls list. So it would end up being some amalgamation of multiple names on the list by the time we managed to have both a [name_m]Caspian[/name_m] and a [name_f]Cosima[/name_f] in the same group.
gwen - I actually had no idea that the [name_f]Cosima[/name_f] on the show was named after a real person! That is so cool. I’ve been really impressed by some of the names on the show - [name_f]Cosima[/name_f], [name_m]Felix[/name_m], [name_f]Delphine[/name_f], [name_f]Helena[/name_f], [name_f]Siobhan[/name_f], the kids [name_m]Oscar[/name_m] and [name_f]Gemma[/name_f], [name_m]Aldous[/name_m], [name_m]Olivier[/name_m], [name_f]Katja[/name_f] - good stuff! I kind of selfishly love your description of my list: “beautiful and strange but not over-the-top bizarre.” Sounds exactly like what I want As for the middles, [name_f]Cosima[/name_f] [name_f]Faun[/name_f] and [name_f]Cosima[/name_f] [name_f]Fern[/name_f] really catch my eye, but the winner is [name_f]Cosima[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f]. I don’t know why I never thought of this pairing before! [name_f]Narnia[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] is permanently on the GP list because Husband will never ever approve the [name_f]Narnia[/name_f] part, which leaves [name_f]Rose[/name_f] free to be re-combo-ed. I really love the repeated O sounds in [name_f]Cosima[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f], and the soft dusky pink of [name_f]Rose[/name_f] blends in with [name_f]Cosima[/name_f]'s silver-flecked midnight blue SO perfectly. Wow!
frobskottle - Thanks! I do love both [name_f]Cosima[/name_f] and [name_m]Caspian[/name_m] You have some great names in your signature by the way!
