1 [name]Louisa[/name] [name]Blythe[/name]
2 [name]Miriam[/name] [name]Blythe[/name]
3 [name]Eleanor[/name] [name]Iris[/name]
4 [name]Lucy[/name] [name]Beatrix[/name]
5 [name]Violet[/name] [name]Beatrix[/name]

I think the top two above have a wonderful blend of vintage and contemporary.

They’re all lovely, but out of them all, [name]Eleanor[/name] [name]Iris[/name] sounds the best to my ears.

4

[name]Louisa[/name] [name]Blythe[/name] is my favorite. Beautiful, underused [name]Louisa[/name] paired with happy, sweet [name]Blythe[/name] is just lovely. They’re all great though. If I were ranking them:

  1. [name]Louisa[/name] [name]Blythe[/name]
  2. [name]Miriam[/name] [name]Blythe[/name]
  3. [name]Eleanor[/name] [name]Iris[/name]
  4. [name]Lucy[/name] [name]Beatrix[/name]
  5. [name]Violet[/name] [name]Beatrix[/name]

I voted for [name]Lucy[/name] [name]Beatrix[/name] but was really torn as [name]Louisa[/name] [name]Blythe[/name] is just lovely. In retrospect I think I’d go with [name]Louisa[/name] [name]Blythe[/name] and use [name]Lucy[/name] as a nickname.

6

That is so tough. I love both [name]Miriam[/name] and Lousia. I picked [name]Louisa[/name] [name]Blythe[/name] in the end, because I liked how it sounded together. I also like [name]Violet[/name] [name]Beatrix[/name]. Personally, I don’t like [name]Lucy[/name], because it is starting to feel like a nickname to me.

7

My favorite from your list would have to be a tie between [name]Eleanor[/name] [name]Iris[/name] and [name]Louisa[/name] [name]Blythe[/name].
My least favorite would have to be [name]Violet[/name] [name]Beatrix[/name], while I love love love the name [name]Violet[/name] I don’t necessarily like it with [name]Beatrix[/name].

I like them in the following order.

  1. [name]Louisa[/name] [name]Blythe[/name] (nn [name]Lucy[/name]?)
  2. [name]Miriam[/name] [name]Blythe[/name]
  3. [name]Eleanor[/name] [name]Iris[/name]
  4. [name]Violet[/name] [name]Beatrix[/name]
  5. [name]Lucy[/name] [name]Beatrix[/name]

I love both [name]Miriam[/name] and [name]Louisa[/name]! I ended up voting [name]Miriam[/name] but it was close. If I were to rank them, it would be:

  1. [name]Miriam[/name] [name]Blythe[/name]
  2. [name]Louisa[/name] [name]Blythe[/name]
  3. [name]Eleanor[/name] [name]Iris[/name]
  4. [name]Violet[/name] [name]Beatrix[/name]
  5. [name]Lucy[/name] [name]Beatrix[/name]

Great list! I loooove [name]Miriam[/name] and wanted to use it! [name]Miriam[/name] [name]Blythe[/name] is awesome!
I honestly love all the names, although I am not a huge fan of violet with [name]Beatrix[/name]. It is tough to call it my least favorite, because I still love the name! You can’t go wrong.

  1. [name]Miriam[/name] [name]Blythe[/name]
  2. [name]Lucy[/name] [name]Beatrix[/name] (love!)
  3. [name]Eleanor[/name] [name]Iris[/name] (great combo, love with [name]Annabelle[/name])
  4. [name]Louisa[/name] [name]Blythe[/name] (feels heavy; I love [name]Louisa[/name] but not as much with [name]Annabelle[/name])
  5. [name]Violet[/name] [name]Beatrix[/name] (again, I hate to say least favorite because it is still a great name, I just like the others better).

I like [name]Lucy[/name] [name]Beatrix[/name] and [name]Violet[/name] [name]Beatrix[/name] best. Good luck!

[name]Blythe[/name] gets a lot of nameberry love, but I always feel like I stumble of it, but I do love [name]Miriam[/name] and [name]Louisa[/name]. [name]Eleanor[/name] and [name]Iris[/name] are both nice, but saying it out loud is a little cumbersome for me. I think it’s the repeated “r” sound. [name]Lucy[/name] and [name]Beatrix[/name] are both nice but, again, not together (for me).

I voted [name]Violet[/name] [name]Beatrix[/name], which has a quirky Dickensian kind of feel for me. I know it’s not on your list, but what about [name]Miriam[/name] [name]Violet[/name]?

13

[name]Miriam[/name] [name]Violet[/name] is a beautiful suggestion thank you. However both are names we like, but don’t have family significance. Our first is named after a few family members, so we would like to honor some family with the second as well. I would feel guilty if we didn’t. So [name]Miriam[/name] [name]Violet[/name] won’t work in that respect. :frowning: Thanks again for the suggestion!

  1. [name]Lucy[/name] [name]Beatrix[/name] - I love this!

  2. Voilet [name]Beatrix[/name]

  3. [name]Eleanor[/name] [name]Iris[/name]

  4. [name]Louisa[/name] [name]Blythe[/name]

  5. [name]Miriam[/name] [name]Blythe[/name]

15

I voted for [name]Lucy[/name]. :wink:

16

I voted for [name]Miriam[/name] [name]Blythe[/name]. Very well-balanced and substantial yet feminine. The nickname [name]Mimi[/name] is a nice bonus.
[name]Lucy[/name] [name]Beatrix[/name] is great too.

17

[name]LOVE[/name] [name]Violet[/name] but don’t really care for [name]Beatrix[/name]. That being said, there’s nothing wrong with [name]Beatrix[/name] I just don’t like the sound of it. [name]Violet[/name] is beautiful and classy and gives pretty imagery and is just perfect - it’s my daughter’s name :slight_smile:

18

[name]Louisa[/name] [name]Blythe[/name] is SO good.
I like [name]Violet[/name] [name]Beatrix[/name] the least.

19

It is interesting to me how [name]Beatrix[/name] seems to be a love it or hate it name. It isn’t too often that you get a mediocre response from it. I have always liked it and [name]Beatrice[/name], so I never realized this until coming to nameberry forums. Would [name]Violet[/name] [name]Beatrice[/name] sound better than [name]Beatrix[/name]?

[name]Eleanor[/name] [name]Iris[/name] is beautiful.
