Thank you everyone!
@Sorceress - So glad you like [name_f]Aurora[/name_f], [name_f]Katharine[/name_f], [name_f]Hero[/name_f], and [name_f]Odette[/name_f]!
@persephonescrown - thanks girl! Of these, I think [name_f]Esme[/name_f], [name_f]Zélie[/name_f], [name_f]Odette[/name_f], [name_f]Rosamund[/name_f] nn [name_f]Romy[/name_f], and maybe [name_f]Hero[/name_f] are dearest to my heart right now. I adore [name_f]Cecilia[/name_f] but am torn on adding her since I already have [name_f]Felicity[/name_f] nn [name_f]Cici[/name_f] on my short list! And if it helps, my [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] combo is [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] [name_f]Lærke[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f], not [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] [name_f]Lilac[/name_f] (though it is gorgeous!)—not sure if that sways your [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] vs. [name_f]Leonora[/name_f] vote!
@kachenka - lol your guess is as good as mine as far as [name_f]Esme[/name_f] goes! I’ve toyed with [name_f]Natalia[/name_f], [name_f]Mireille[/name_f], and [name_f]Giovanna[/name_f] with [name_f]Esme[/name_f] too, so maybe [name_f]Esme[/name_f] [name_f]Philomena[/name_f] [name_f]Mireille[/name_f]? I honestly haven’t given it a ton of thought. And yes! I adore [name_f]Rosamund[/name_f] and [name_f]Alba[/name_f] together—even more than I’ve loved [name_f]Madeleine[/name_f] [name_f]Alba[/name_f], I think? And yes, I’ve loved [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] for ages but she felt so unrealistic while [name_f]Isobel[/name_f] [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f] was my favorite girls’ name. Now that I’ve been feeling [name_f]Adele[/name_f] so much more than [name_f]Isobel[/name_f], I’m wondering if [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] is due a second look? I don’t know that I need [name_f]Ariane[/name_f], [name_f]Arabella[/name_f], and [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] on my list though
And yes, love the delicate feeling of [name_f]Zélie[/name_f] [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f], but idk how I’d finish her up. I’ve toyed with [name_f]Zélie[/name_f] [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] [name_f]Ruth[/name_f] but she doesn’t feel right. [name_f]Zélie[/name_f] [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] [name_f]Emilia[/name_f]? Doesn’t have the same eclectic feel as some of my combos but [name_f]Emilia[/name_f] is an honor name. Ironically we have a fair amount of magnolia trees here and I’ve had this vision in the back of my head that my mansion in heaven will have groves of magnolia and redbud trees, it is the image that gets me through my hardest days, imagining being surrounded by all my magnolias. I’ve had periods where [name_f]Magnolia[/name_f] doesn’t feel like me but it’s a family name and because of those two things I’d love to use [name_f]Magnolia[/name_f] as a middle somewhere! And ironically [name_f]Tatiana[/name_f] feels very international to me—I know a lot of [name_f]Latina[/name_f] ones!—but the Russian aspect appeals to me since [name_f]Russia[/name_f] was such an important place to my grandma. I love having a couple Russian names on my list in her honor—I’ve also got [name_f]Vera[/name_f] and often think about [name_f]Nadia[/name_f] and [name_f]Natalia[/name_f] too!
@Greyblue - thanks girl! I waffle between [name_f]Cecilia[/name_f] [name_f]Primrose[/name_f] and something else too—I also love [name_f]Romy[/name_f] and [name_f]Poppy[/name_f] as muffles for [name_f]Cecilia[/name_f]! [name_f]Katharina[/name_f] [name_f]Esme[/name_f] [name_f]Liv[/name_f] does feel very me! One of the kiddos I sponsor in [name_f]South[/name_f] [name_f]America[/name_f] is a [name_f]Livia[/name_f] so I love [name_f]Katharine[/name_f] [name_f]Livia[/name_f] [name_f]Esme[/name_f] for her—and [name_f]Livia[/name_f] and [name_f]Esme[/name_f] feel made for each other. I love [name_f]Katharina[/name_f] as a middle but prefer [name_f]Katharine[/name_f] up front. And haha, I am not set on [name_f]Eloise[/name_f] as a second middle for [name_f]Tess[/name_f] [name_f]Mireia[/name_f] but lately I have been liking [name_f]Tess[/name_f] [name_f]Mireia[/name_f] much more than [name_f]Tess[/name_f] [name_f]Eulalie[/name_f] [name_f]Colette[/name_f]! I love all three names but as @kachenka said, [name_f]Tess[/name_f] [name_f]Eulalie[/name_f] [name_f]Colette[/name_f] feels TOO cohesive. [name_f]Tess[/name_f] [name_f]Mireia[/name_f] [name_f]Eulalie[/name_f]? I don’t love [name_f]Mireia[/name_f] and [name_f]Colette[/name_f] together weirdly.
Thanks again everyone!
