Laudine Ferelith [name_u]Wynter[/name_u] [name_f]Hazel[/name_f]–> This combo is too long. It has too many ‘weird’ names and the combination of [name_u]Wynter[/name_u] [spelt wrong] and [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] makes it too descriptive. I would sugest shortening it to Laudine [name_m]Haze[/name_m] or Ferelith [name_u]Winter[/name_u]
[name_u]Juniper[/name_u] Tearose–> I like [name_u]Juniper[/name_u] but Tearose sounds like a Cafe.
[name_u]Juniper[/name_u] [name_f]Primrose[/name_f]–> I would like this if it wasn’t two nature names.
[name_f]Luna[/name_f] [name_f]Oceane[/name_f]–> It seems a bit wordy. [name_f]Oceane[/name_f] is lovely.
[name_f]Pandora[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Eve[/name_f]-This doesn’t flow. [name_f]Eve[/name_f] [name_u]Juniper[/name_u] or [name_f]Primrose[/name_f] [name_f]Pandora[/name_f]
[name_f]Hermione[/name_f] [name_f]Raine[/name_f]–> [name_f]Raine[/name_f] seems to dampen down the loveliness of [name_f]Hermione[/name_f]. [name_f]Hermione[/name_f] [name_f]Primrose[/name_f]
[name_f]Bellatrix[/name_f] St [name_u]Joan[/name_u]–> You don’t need the St. [name_f]Bellatrix[/name_f] [name_u]Joan[/name_u]
[name_f]Godiva[/name_f] [name_f]Pearl[/name_f]–> [name_f]Godiva[/name_f] is awful. [name_f]Pearl[/name_f] is pretty. [name_f]Hermione[/name_f] [name_f]Pearl[/name_f]
[name_f]Emerald[/name_f] [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] [name_u]Winter[/name_u]–> Too descriptive.
[name_f]Odette[/name_f] [name_f]Leda[/name_f] [name_f]Snow[/name_f]–> I like [name_f]Odette[/name_f]. The whole combo doesn’t flow but what about [name_f]Leda[/name_f] [name_f]Snow[/name_f] or [name_f]Eve[/name_f] [name_f]Odette[/name_f]
[name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Victoria[/name_f]–>This is nice but quite plain next to your other combos. [name_f]Rose[/name_f] is very pretty in the fn spot.
[name_f]Christabel[/name_f] [name_f]Eglantine[/name_f]–> I would save [name_f]Christabel[/name_f] for the middle. I do not like [name_f]Eglantine[/name_f].
Utopia [name_f]Isabeau[/name_f]–> [name_f]Isabeau[/name_f] is very pretty. Utopia is not. [name_f]Isabeau[/name_f] [name_f]Primrose[/name_f]
[name_f]Gardenia[/name_f] [name_u]Valentine[/name_u]–> This combo is too frilly. [name_f]Pandora[/name_f] [name_u]Valentine[/name_u]
[name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Persephone[/name_f]–> I do not usually like [name_f]Violet[/name_f] but [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Persephone[/name_f] is lovely.
[name_f]Victoria[/name_f] Tearose–> [name_f]Victoria[/name_f] [name_f]Pearl[/name_f]
[name_f]Alaska[/name_f] [name_f]Liberty[/name_f]–> I do not like either of these names.
[name_f]Hermione[/name_f] [name_f]Lavender[/name_f]–> Too long. [name_f]Lavender[/name_f] [name_f]Celeste[/name_f]
[name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_u]Avery[/name_u] Thistle–> Thistle is horrible. [name_u]Avery[/name_u] [name_f]Odette[/name_f] or [name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Hermione[/name_f]
[name_f]Celeste[/name_f] [name_f]Marigold[/name_f]–> [name_f]Marigold[/name_f] [name_f]Celeste[/name_f] would be much prettier.

I have put suggestions in bold and I hope I haven’t come across as offensive, I just like to give constructive criticism.

[c11]

[name_u]Love[/name_u]/like:

• Laudine Ferelith - never heard about Laudine before. It sounds lovely.
• [name_u]Winter[/name_u] [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] - I prefer this spelling.
• [name_u]Juniper[/name_u] Tearose - not sure I like Tearose, but it sounds awesome with [name_u]Juniper[/name_u].
• [name_f]Luna[/name_f] [name_f]Oceane[/name_f] - I’m a [name_f]Luna[/name_f]. I’m biased.
• [name_f]Pandora[/name_f] [name_f]Eve[/name_f] - this has a better flow, imo.
• [name_f]Hermione[/name_f] [name_f]Raine[/name_f] - lovely!
• [name_f]Bellatrix[/name_f] [name_u]Joan[/name_u] - the St part looks weird, sorry.
• [name_f]Emerald[/name_f] [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] [name_u]Winter[/name_u]
• [name_f]Odette[/name_f] [name_f]Leda[/name_f] [name_f]Snow[/name_f]
• [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Persephone[/name_f] - how pretty…
• [name_f]Victoria[/name_f] Tearose
• [name_f]Celeste[/name_f] [name_f]Marigold[/name_f]

Random suggestion:
[name_f]Mimosa[/name_f] - like the flower and the star (from crux, if I’m not mistaken)
[name_f]Thalia[/name_f]
[name_f]Arcadia[/name_f]
Eirlys
[name_f]Neva[/name_f] - meaning white snow.
Chione - [name_f]Goddess[/name_f] of snow.
[name_f]Frostine[/name_f]
[name_f]Faustine[/name_f]
[name_f]Aira[/name_f]
[name_f]Ondine[/name_f]
[name_f]Nerissa[/name_f]
Avonlea
Celandine
[name_f]Ffion[/name_f]
Edelweiss

[oceansunrise]

Thanx for your thorough feedback Whirligig !! It’s great to get different opinions…I wrote my response below:

Laudine Ferelith Wynter Hazel–> This combo is too long. It has too many ‘weird’ names and the combination of Wynter [spelt wrong] and Hazel makes it too descriptive. I would sugest shortening it to Laudine Haze or Ferelith Winter

- I like Ferelith Winter. But I do like ‘weird’ names too…

Juniper Tearose–> I like Juniper but Tearose sounds like a Cafe.

- Yes, I agree. Still like it though…

Juniper Primrose–> I would like this if it wasn’t two nature names.

- mmmm…okay…

Luna Oceane–> It seems a bit wordy. Oceane is lovely.

- Interesting…however, I really like this combo…

Pandora Rose Eve-This doesn’t flow. Eve Juniper or Primrose Pandora

- Yes, I totally agree…it doesn’t flow properly…and I like your suggestion of Eve Juniper. But I still prefer Pandora as a first and Primrose as a middle.

Hermione Raine–> Raine seems to dampen down the loveliness of Hermione. Hermione Primrose

- Yes, I think you’re right here…I really like Hermione Primrose too…very, very pretty

Bellatrix St Joan–> You don’t need the St. Bellatrix Joan

Let’s agree to disagree…I prefer the ‘St’ prefix for St Joan. That’s just my personal taste, but I appreciate your thoughts.

Godiva Pearl–> Godiva is awful. Pearl is pretty. Hermione Pearl

- Godiva is one of my all-time favorites, not letting this gem go!! But, yes, not everyone agrees it’s a beatific name…I guess I see a ‘rose’ whereas you and many others see a ‘skunk cabbage’ lol !!

Emerald Ivy Winter–> Too descriptive.

- Yes, a bit OTT…it needs editing I agree…

Odette Leda Snow–> I like Odette. The whole combo doesn’t flow but what about Leda Snow or Eve Odette

- I love this combo…but thanks for your suggestion.

Rose Victoria–>This is nice but quite plain next to your other combos. Rose is very pretty in the fn spot.

- Yes, it’s a bit plain…

Christabel Eglantine–> I would save Christabel for the middle. I do not like Eglantine.

- I like this combo…guess it’s not everyone’s cuppa tea…

Utopia Isabeau–> Isabeau is very pretty. Utopia is not. Isabeau Primrose
[b]

• Love Utopia, but also love your suggestion of Isabeau Primrose. Gorgeous!![/b]

Gardenia Valentine–> This combo is too frilly. Pandora Valentine

- Not sure about Pandora Valentine…

Violet Persephone–> I do not usually like Violet but Violet Persephone is lovely.

- Hurray!!

Victoria Tearose–> Victoria Pearl

- Victoria Pearl is a darling name, thanx !!

Alaska Liberty–> I do not like either of these names.

- We’ll agree to disagree on this one…

Hermione Lavender–> Too long. Lavender Celeste

- Yeah…not sure about this either…

Rose Avery Thistle–> Thistle is horrible. Avery Odette or Rose Hermione

- Acquired taste. Love Thistle!!

Celeste Marigold–> Marigold Celeste would be much prettier.

- Yes, not sure about this name too…and Marigold is a middle possibility for me - not a first name.

I have put suggestions in bold and I hope I haven’t come across as offensive, I just like to give constructive criticism.

And I really appreciate your constructive feedback, sometimes you miss things other people perceive as “unattractive” and it’s good to know!! Cheers

[lavenderbelle]

• Laudine Ferelith [name_u]Wynter[/name_u] [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] : I think this one is too long. Laudine is lovely. [name_m]How[/name_m] about Laudine Ferelith or Laudine [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] [name_u]Winter[/name_u]
• [name_u]Juniper[/name_u] Tearose: I like [name_u]Juniper[/name_u] [name_f]Primrose[/name_f] better but both are lovely.
• [name_u]Juniper[/name_u] [name_f]Primrose[/name_f]
• [name_f]Luna[/name_f] [name_f]Oceane[/name_f] : is [name_f]Oceane[/name_f] pronounced like ocean? I love this combo if you are pronouncing it oh-say-ahn or something like that.
• [name_f]Pandora[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Eve[/name_f] Very pretty!
• [name_f]Hermione[/name_f] [name_f]Raine[/name_f] I’m not a fan of the name raine. I like [name_f]Hermione[/name_f] [name_u]Winter[/name_u] [name_f]Eve[/name_f] or Hermoine [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f].
• [name_f]Bellatrix[/name_f] St [name_u]Joan[/name_u] : I like this even with the St part.
• [name_f]Godiva[/name_f] [name_f]Pearl[/name_f] : I’m not a fan of [name_f]Godiva[/name_f].
• [name_f]Emerald[/name_f] [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] [name_u]Winter[/name_u]: This one seems too descriptive. Maybe [name_f]Emerald[/name_f] [name_u]Valentine[/name_u] or [name_f]Emerald[/name_f] [name_f]Leda[/name_f] [name_f]Eve[/name_f] or [name_f]Emerald[/name_f] [name_f]Victoria[/name_f].
• [name_f]Odette[/name_f] [name_f]Leda[/name_f] [name_f]Snow[/name_f] : This is perfect.
• [name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Victoria[/name_f] : it’s ok kinda plain next to the others.
• [name_f]Christabel[/name_f] [name_f]Eglantine[/name_f]: NMS
• Utopia [name_f]Isabeau[/name_f] : Utopia is not for me. I love [name_f]Isabeau[/name_f]. I would move [name_f]Isabeau[/name_f] to the fn slot but that’s just me. I like [name_f]Isabeau[/name_f] [name_u]Winter[/name_u] or [name_f]Isabeau[/name_f] [name_u]Valentine[/name_u].
• [name_f]Gardenia[/name_f] [name_u]Valentine[/name_u]: I prefer [name_f]Emerald[/name_f] [name_u]Valentine[/name_u]. I think I’m having a hard time seeing gardenia as a fn, I don’t really like overly frilly names.
• [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Persephone[/name_f] : this is perfect!
• [name_f]Victoria[/name_f] Tearose : Never been a huge fan of [name_f]Victoria[/name_f]. Somehow it irks me. [name_m]Don[/name_m]'t know why. Since you like it I will say this is a lovely combo.
• [name_f]Alaska[/name_f] [name_f]Liberty[/name_f] : I like [name_f]Alaska[/name_f] but [name_f]Liberty[/name_f] is kinda Blah to me.

• Laudine Ferelith [name_u]Wynter[/name_u] [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] : I think this one is too long. Laudine is lovely. [name_m]How[/name_m] about Laudine Ferelith or Laudine [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] [name_u]Winter[/name_u]
• [name_u]Juniper[/name_u] Tearose: I like [name_u]Juniper[/name_u] [name_f]Primrose[/name_f] better but both are lovely.
• [name_u]Juniper[/name_u] [name_f]Primrose[/name_f]
• [name_f]Luna[/name_f] [name_f]Oceane[/name_f] : is [name_f]Oceane[/name_f] pronounced like ocean? I love this combo if you are pronouncing it oh-say-ahn or something like that.
• [name_f]Pandora[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Eve[/name_f] Very pretty!
• [name_f]Hermione[/name_f] [name_f]Raine[/name_f] I’m not a fan of the name raine. I like [name_f]Hermione[/name_f] [name_u]Winter[/name_u] [name_f]Eve[/name_f] or Hermoine [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f].
• [name_f]Bellatrix[/name_f] St [name_u]Joan[/name_u] : I like this even with the St part.
• [name_f]Godiva[/name_f] [name_f]Pearl[/name_f] : I’m not a fan of [name_f]Godiva[/name_f].
• [name_f]Emerald[/name_f] [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] [name_u]Winter[/name_u]: This one seems too descriptive. Maybe [name_f]Emerald[/name_f] [name_u]Valentine[/name_u] or [name_f]Emerald[/name_f] [name_f]Leda[/name_f] [name_f]Eve[/name_f] or [name_f]Emerald[/name_f] [name_f]Victoria[/name_f].
• [name_f]Odette[/name_f] [name_f]Leda[/name_f] [name_f]Snow[/name_f] : This is perfect.
• [name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Victoria[/name_f] : it’s ok kinda plain next to the others.
• [name_f]Christabel[/name_f] [name_f]Eglantine[/name_f]: NMS
• Utopia [name_f]Isabeau[/name_f] : Utopia is not for me. I love [name_f]Isabeau[/name_f]. I would move [name_f]Isabeau[/name_f] to the fn slot but that’s just me. I like [name_f]Isabeau[/name_f] [name_u]Winter[/name_u] or [name_f]Isabeau[/name_f] [name_u]Valentine[/name_u].
• [name_f]Gardenia[/name_f] [name_u]Valentine[/name_u]: I prefer [name_f]Emerald[/name_f] [name_u]Valentine[/name_u]. I think I’m having a hard time seeing gardenia as a fn, I don’t really like overly frilly names.
• [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Persephone[/name_f] : this is perfect!
• [name_f]Victoria[/name_f] Tearose : Never been a huge fan of [name_f]Victoria[/name_f]. Somehow it irks me. [name_m]Don[/name_m]'t know why. Since you like it I will say this is a lovely combo.
• [name_f]Alaska[/name_f] [name_f]Liberty[/name_f] : I like [name_f]Alaska[/name_f] but [name_f]Liberty[/name_f] is kinda Blah to me. I would do [name_f]Alaska[/name_f] [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] or [name_f]Alaska[/name_f] [name_f]Eve[/name_f] or [name_f]Alaska[/name_f] [name_f]Leda[/name_f] [name_f]Eve[/name_f].
• [name_f]Hermione[/name_f] [name_f]Lavender[/name_f] : [name_u]Love[/name_u] this!
• [name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_u]Avery[/name_u] Thistle : This is lovely too.
• [name_f]Celeste[/name_f] [name_f]Marigold[/name_f] : nice combo.

[name_f]My[/name_f] favorites as you have them are Hermoine [name_f]Lavender[/name_f], [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Persephone[/name_f], [name_f]Odette[/name_f] [name_f]Leda[/name_f] [name_f]Snow[/name_f], [name_u]Juniper[/name_u] [name_f]Primrose[/name_f], and [name_f]Pandora[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Eve[/name_f].

[name_m]Hi[/name_m] LavenderBelle :),

Thanx for your considered & detailed response. And yes, I pronounce [name_f]Oceane[/name_f] the [name_m]French[/name_m] way too It’s great to read your insights on each name combination. And I’m really glad to see you thought “Laudine is lovely”. I really like this name too.

I also like your name combination suggestions i.e. [name_f]Hermione[/name_f] [name_u]Winter[/name_u], [name_f]Isabeau[/name_f] [name_u]Winter[/name_u] and [name_f]Emerald[/name_f] [name_f]Leda[/name_f] [name_f]Eve[/name_f]. Gorgeous!

Your final list of favorites were interesting to read too…I also like [name_f]Pandora[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Eve[/name_f]. But then again, I also adore [name_f]Bellatrix[/name_f]. However, these two names have negative connotations for certain people (especially [name_f]Bellatrix[/name_f] - my nieces & nephews can’t past the HP associations) which makes me hesitate to consider them as first names. But, gosh, I do love these spirited & mythological sounding names.

Cheers

I love so many of these names:
[name_f]Pandora[/name_f]- [name_u]Love[/name_u] so much, for the combo I prefer [name_f]Pandora[/name_f] [name_f]Eva[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f].
[name_f]Bellatrix[/name_f]- I love [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] as well
Ferelith- Such a beautiful name
[name_f]Luna[/name_f] [name_f]Oceane[/name_f]- [name_u]Love[/name_u] the combined meaning
[name_f]Hermione[/name_f] [name_f]Raine[/name_f]- I prefer [name_u]Rain[/name_u] a bit more though
[name_f]Emerald[/name_f] [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] [name_u]Winter[/name_u]- I like [name_f]Esmeralda[/name_f] as well
[name_f]Odette[/name_f] [name_f]Leda[/name_f] [name_f]Snow[/name_f]
[name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Persephone[/name_f]- But I really like [name_f]Persephone[/name_f] [name_f]Violet[/name_f]
[name_f]Hermione[/name_f] [name_f]Lavender[/name_f]- Reminds me of HP (obviously, but that’s not a bad thing) and [name_f]Lavender[/name_f] from [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] (again, great literary association!)
[name_f]Marigold[/name_f]- Always feels really warm and summery
