Thank you,

The ones that feel most you from your new lists:

[name_f]Tabitha[/name_f] [name_u]Christmas[/name_u] → Biblical and clunky cute, with the wordy middle that I associate with you!

[name_f]Elspeth[/name_f] [name_f]Avonlea[/name_f] → vintage charm of the first, the classic-with-a-slight twist feel, the literary brightness of the middle - works brilliantly

[name_f]Eulalia[/name_f] [name_u]Peace[/name_u] → pretty, with southern charm, but elegance and brightness too. [name_u]Peace[/name_u] is lovely - they flow and feel well balanced

[name_f]Celia[/name_f] [name_f]Faythe[/name_f] → love the meaning and the light, sweet feel, the surnamey, virtue middle - lovely name!

[name_f]Prue[/name_f] [name_f]Abigail[/name_f] → gentle and lovely, but with strength too - it has a lot of charm.

[name_m]Tobias[/name_m] [name_u]Courage[/name_u] → beautiful - elegant and gentle but powerful too

[name_u]Shiloh[/name_u] [name_u]Ezra[/name_u] → love the meaning of this and it feels so you!

[name_u]Lennox[/name_u] [name_u]Asa[/name_u] → sparky, cool, literary and fresh - fits well!

[name_m]Simeon[/name_m] [name_u]Revere[/name_u] → powerful, calm and wise in vibe - very cool and sibs [name_m]Prosper[/name_m] [name_m]Samuel[/name_m] and [name_m]Simeon[/name_m] [name_u]Revere[/name_u] are delightful!

[name_m]Knox[/name_m] [name_m]Gilead[/name_m] → snappy, fresh and cool, but with those literary and christian ties through the middle and meaning

[name_f]Remedy[/name_f] [name_u]William[/name_u] → unexpected and bold, but also feels balanced and grounded


A few mix and match options I’d consider:

[name_f]Esther[/name_f] [name_u]Bravery[/name_u] or [name_f]Esther[/name_f] [name_f]Patience[/name_f]

[name_f]Leora[/name_f] [name_f]Pleasance[/name_f]

[name_f]Eadlyn[/name_f] [name_f]Tabitha[/name_f]

[name_u]Ezra[/name_u] [name_m]Philo[/name_m]

[name_u]Asa[/name_u] [name_u]Worthy[/name_u]

[name_u]Shiloh[/name_u] Voyage

[name_m]Finnick[/name_m] Elead

Absolutely pouring over these new combos! Sorry if my explanations are inadequate. They can all be summed up by “I like them, and I like them for you.”

[name_f]Rosalie[/name_f] [name_f]Rejoice[/name_f] – the alliteration here is so stunning, and it is very “seawillow” to me

[name_f]Esther[/name_f] [name_f]Hosanna[/name_f] – vintage and biblical; perfect for your list!

[name_f]Calla[/name_f] [name_u]Evensong[/name_u] – this is so peaceful, ethereal, and serene. It feels a bit different from other names on your list, but I love it so much!

[name_f]Linnea[/name_f] [name_u]Truth[/name_u] – this could totally be Calla’s sister! I adore the name [name_f]Linnea[/name_f], and the virtue middle name really ties it into your style.

Mix and match:
[name_f]Elspeth[/name_f] [name_f]Mayflower[/name_f]
[name_f]Tabitha[/name_f] [name_u]Peace[/name_u]
[name_f]Leora[/name_f] [name_u]Blessing[/name_u]
[name_f]Pleasance[/name_f] [name_u]Anne[/name_u]


[name_m]Tobias[/name_m] [name_u]Courage[/name_u] – love, love, love! I love everything about these names for you, and they go so well together!

[name_m]Simeon[/name_m] [name_u]Revere[/name_u] – this is like, one of the most “seawillow” names, and it is so, so stunning! I have such a sweet spot for [name_m]Simeon[/name_m] (I actually much prefer it to Simon)

[name_m]Morrow[/name_m] [name_m]Nathanael[/name_m] – while I wouldn’t personally go for [name_m]Morrow[/name_m], it totally works for you! [name_m]Morrow[/name_m] [name_u]Timothy[/name_u] would also be darling.

Mix and match:
[name_u]Shiloh[/name_u] [name_m]Gilead[/name_m]
[name_m]Theon[/name_m] [name_u]Worthy[/name_u]
[name_u]Judah[/name_u] [name_u]Peace[/name_u]
[name_m]Philo[/name_m] [name_u]Timothy[/name_u]

This one jumped out to me immediately. Maybe because I have a soft spot for Remedy. I’d always imaged Remedy as a girl, but since Remy is masculine why not Remedy. I feel Remedy William has such a nice balanced look and feel similar to many of your name combinations.

Both of these names just speak Seawillow to me, and even more so together. In fact, it would be totally believable to me if you’d have told me this was one of your past combinations.

Girls:

[name_f]Tabitha[/name_f] [name_u]Christmas[/name_u]- This is so festive and adorable! I associate [name_f]Tabitha[/name_f] with [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] [name_m]Potter[/name_m] and her stories which feel very ‘curled up by a fire on a [name_u]Winter[/name_u] night’ to me, and [name_u]Christmas[/name_u] is so bright and full of love! I just adore it- she’s clunky, cuddly, and warm.
[name_f]Esther[/name_f] [name_f]Hosanna[/name_f]- This is so elegant and golden to me. I associate [name_f]Esther[/name_f] with snow and pine trees, and [name_f]Hosanna[/name_f] with choral music- so again it feels very Christmassy, which I love. This combo is reverent, radiant, and sophisticated. I love it!
[name_f]Eulalia[/name_f] [name_u]Peace[/name_u]- I think this is a perfect mix of charming and stylish as [name_f]Eulalia[/name_f] is quirky and stubborn, and [name_u]Peace[/name_u] is simple and polished. Again, it feels wintery- I’m getting dove and icing sugar imagery from her!

Boys:
[name_m]Tobias[/name_m] [name_u]Courage[/name_u]: Perfection- He’s clunky, bold, powerful, but also really sweet! I picture a little boy wearing a paper crown, pouring over The [name_m]Lion[/name_m], The Witch, and The Wardrobe (he would look up to Peter!) and play sword-fighting with his siblings. I love this so much.
[name_m]Homer[/name_m] [name_u]Worthy[/name_u]- [name_m]Homer[/name_m] is so under-appreciated, but adorable, and [name_u]Worthy[/name_u] is cool! I think this is really eye-catching and handsome.
[name_m]Simeon[/name_m] [name_u]Revere[/name_u]- Soft, dashing, and dreamy. A very knightly name that flows so well and fits so well with your other boys.

[name_u]Wonderful[/name_u] names!

[name_m]Knox[/name_m] [name_m]Gilead[/name_m]
[name_m]Morrow[/name_m] [name_m]Nathanael[/name_m] - [name_m]Morrow[/name_m] is new to me, but what a great name. And I prefer [name_m]Nathanael[/name_m] over [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m], no question

[name_u]Ever[/name_u] since I watched Saltburn I’ve been obsessed with [name_f]Elspeth[/name_f] (Rosamund Pike’s character) so I’d definitely add [name_f]Elspeth[/name_f] Avonlea!! [name_f]Tabitha[/name_f] [name_u]Christmas[/name_u] feels essentially [name_u]Theo[/name_u] to me. A few others I love:
[name_f]Lilliet[/name_f] [name_f]Praise[/name_f]
[name_f]Eadlyn[/name_f] [name_u]Anne[/name_u]
[name_f]Calla[/name_f] [name_u]Evensong[/name_u]
[name_m]Tobias[/name_m] [name_u]Courage[/name_u]
[name_u]Seren[/name_u] [name_u]Timothy[/name_u]
[name_u]Rowan[/name_u] Elead
[name_u]Vero[/name_u] [name_m]Matthias[/name_m]
I love [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f] and [name_u]Ruby[/name_u], but I’m not a fan of [name_f]Rejoice[/name_f] in the middle spot and [name_u]Ruby[/name_u] [name_f]Mayflower[/name_f] seems like two ‘thing’ names - how about [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f] [name_u]Truth[/name_u] or [name_u]Ruby[/name_u] [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u]? :rainbow:
