Favorites bolded!

[name_m]Adam[/name_m] [name_u]Mackenzie[/name_u] - Not a fan of the back-to-back M’s-- it would sound like Adamackenzie. I kinda like [name_u]Mackenzie[/name_u] on a boy though.
[name_m]Andrew[/name_m] [name_m]Thomas[/name_m]
[name_m]Bennett[/name_m] [name_m]Joel[/name_m]

[name_m]Landon[/name_m] [name_m]Christopher[/name_m]
[name_m]Lawson[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u]
[name_m]Lewis[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u] (Can’t get myself on board with [name_u]Lou[/name_u]-ee) - I like [name_m]Lewis[/name_m]! Makes me think of [name_m]Lewis[/name_m] [name_u]Carroll[/name_u] and the nerdy love interest from H2O: [name_m]Just[/name_m] [name_m]Add[/name_m] Water.
[name_u]Mason[/name_u] [name_m]Bennett[/name_m] - Eh. I like both names, but if you named a kid this he would have three surnames.
[name_m]Michael[/name_m] [name_m]Edward[/name_m]
[name_m]Nicholas[/name_m] [name_m]Caradoc[/name_m] - Sounds like a [name_m]Harry[/name_m] [name_m]Potter[/name_m] character–very cool.
[name_u]Toby[/name_u] [name_m]Harrison[/name_m]

Girls:

[name_f]Agatha[/name_f] [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f]

[name_f]Delphine[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f]/[name_f]Delphine[/name_f] [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f] - [name_m]Both[/name_m] gorgeous combos. I’d go with [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] for sound diversity, [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f] for quirk.
[name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] - Sounds so elegant! Might not work with a three-syllable last name, though.
[name_f]Florence[/name_f] [name_f]Magdalena[/name_f]
[name_f]Iris[/name_f] [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f]
[name_f]Margaret[/name_f] [name_f]Daniella[/name_f]
[name_f]Martha[/name_f] [name_f]Juliette[/name_f]
[name_f]Millicent[/name_f] [name_f]Arabella[/name_f]
[name_f]Morwenna[/name_f] [name_f]Lily[/name_f] - Gorgeous.
[name_f]Olive[/name_f] [name_f]Rebecca[/name_f]/[name_f]Olive[/name_f] [name_f]Lucinda[/name_f] - [name_f]Olive[/name_f] [name_f]Lucinda[/name_f] feels like too many L’s, so I vote for [name_f]Olive[/name_f] [name_f]Rebecca[/name_f].
[name_f]Ophelia[/name_f] [name_f]Plum[/name_f] - I’ve never understood the appeal of [name_f]Plum[/name_f], but I adore [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f] and it sounds great with one-syllable middles.
[name_f]Ottilie[/name_f] [name_f]Delphine[/name_f]
[name_f]Primrose[/name_f] [name_f]Victoria[/name_f]/[name_f]Pearl[/name_f] [name_f]Victoria[/name_f]
[name_f]Rosamond[/name_f] [name_f]Christiana[/name_f] - [name_f]Lovely[/name_f], but both such long names!
[name_f]Sophia[/name_f] [name_f]Elouise[/name_f]/[name_f]Eloise[/name_f]

[name_m]Bennett[/name_m] [name_m]Joel[/name_m] - love [name_m]Bennett[/name_m] :slight_smile: [name_m]Bennett[/name_m] [name_m]Christopher[/name_m] also sounds nice.
[name_m]Landon[/name_m] [name_m]Christopher[/name_m] - love this combo! I like [name_m]Landon[/name_m] a lot!
[name_m]Jack[/name_m] [name_m]Connor[/name_m] - [name_m]Jack[/name_m] is great, I don’t like the duplicated K sound of “ck Co”. Maybe [name_m]Jack[/name_m] [name_m]Harrison[/name_m], [name_m]Jack[/name_m] [name_m]Bennett[/name_m], [name_m]Jack[/name_m] [name_m]Thomas[/name_m]
[name_m]Harrison[/name_m] [name_m]Joel[/name_m] - great combo and I like both names.
[name_m]Henry[/name_m] [name_m]Matthew[/name_m] - nice combo, simple but nice. Also, [name_m]Henry[/name_m] [name_m]Lucas[/name_m], [name_m]Henry[/name_m] [name_m]Caradoc[/name_m], [name_m]Henry[/name_m] [name_m]Joseph[/name_m]
[name_m]Andrew[/name_m] [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] - nice. simple but a great combo

[name_m]Joel[/name_m] [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] - okay
[name_m]Joseph[/name_m] [name_m]Harrison[/name_m] - both names are nice, I just not like them together. [name_m]Joseph[/name_m] [name_u]Elliott[/name_u]?
[name_m]Christopher[/name_m] [name_m]Lucas[/name_m] - okay, C and S sounds repeated though. [name_m]Christopher[/name_m] [name_m]Henry[/name_m]?
[name_m]Nicholas[/name_m] [name_m]Caradoc[/name_m] - a bit C heavy, [name_m]Caradoc[/name_m] is very interesting though. [name_m]Nicholas[/name_m] [name_m]Bennett[/name_m]? [name_m]Nicholas[/name_m] [name_u]Hayden[/name_u]?
[name_m]Lawson[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u] - Laweson is nice, not fond of the repeated S sound. [name_m]Lawson[/name_m] [name_m]Matthew[/name_m]?
[name_u]Mason[/name_u] [name_m]Bennett[/name_m] - okay. Not fond of how popular [name_u]Mason[/name_u] is. [name_u]Mason[/name_u] [name_m]Connor[/name_m]?
[name_u]Elliott[/name_u] [name_m]Lincoln[/name_m] - very L heavy. [name_u]Elliott[/name_u] [name_m]Bennet[/name_m], [name_u]Elliott[/name_u] [name_m]Joseph[/name_m], [name_u]Elliott[/name_u] [name_m]Joel[/name_m]
[name_m]Callum[/name_m] [name_m]Joseph[/name_m] - not too excited about [name_m]Callum[/name_m], it’s okay. Sounds nice with [name_m]Joseph[/name_m]
[name_u]Toby[/name_u] [name_m]Harrison[/name_m] - [name_u]Toby[/name_u] is very little boy to me (like [name_u]Bobby[/name_u] or [name_m]Tommy[/name_m]).
[name_m]Adam[/name_m] [name_u]Mackenzie[/name_u] - meh, this is okay, not wild about. [name_m]Adam[/name_m] Macormick? [name_m]Adam[/name_m] [name_u]Maclaren[/name_u]?

[name_m]Michael[/name_m] [name_m]Edward[/name_m] - I just don’t like [name_m]Michael[/name_m] that much…the combo sounds fine.
[name_u]Hayden[/name_u] [name_m]William[/name_m] - not a fan of [name_u]Hayden[/name_u]
[name_m]Connor[/name_m] [name_u]Elliott[/name_u] - not a fan of [name_m]Connor[/name_m], not even sure why, it sounds a bit babyish to me, hard to imagine an adult named [name_m]Connor[/name_m].
[name_m]Lewis[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u] (Can’t get myself on board with [name_u]Lou[/name_u]-ee) - me neither, I’ve never been a [name_m]Louis[/name_m] fan, [name_m]Lewis[/name_m] is better, but I still don’t love it

[name_f]Olive[/name_f] [name_f]Rebecca[/name_f] - very pretty, love it
[name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] - very pretty

[name_f]Cecilia[/name_f] [name_f]Blythe[/name_f] - nice
[name_f]Margaret[/name_f] [name_f]Daniella[/name_f] - nice. [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] [name_f]Dahlia[/name_f]?

[name_f]Martha[/name_f] [name_f]Juliette[/name_f] - okay
[name_f]Delphine[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] - I’m not fond of [name_f]Delphine[/name_f], it seems a bit pretentious–maybe not if you’re living in [name_u]Paris[/name_u], but in my neighborhood it definitely is.
[name_f]Morwenna[/name_f] [name_f]Lily[/name_f] - don’t like [name_f]Morwenna[/name_f] at all
[name_f]Ottilie[/name_f] [name_f]Delphine[/name_f] - just really don’t like [name_f]Ottilie[/name_f], sorry
[name_f]Pearl[/name_f] [name_f]Victoria[/name_f] - okay
[name_f]Agatha[/name_f] [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] - [name_u]Christie[/name_u]? I don’t like [name_f]Agatha[/name_f] and following it with a Ch- name seems to be begging for comparisons.
[name_f]Augusta[/name_f] [name_f]Caroline[/name_f] - meh
[name_f]Blythe[/name_f] [name_f]Eleanora[/name_f] - okay, I just really dont like [name_f]Blythe[/name_f].

Thank you for your suggestions! :slight_smile: I also liked [name_m]Henry[/name_m] [name_m]Lincoln[/name_m] and [name_m]Henry[/name_m] [name_m]Caradoc[/name_m]. [name_m]Joseph[/name_m] [name_u]Elliott[/name_u] and [name_m]Lawson[/name_m] [name_m]Matthew[/name_m] as well! As for [name_f]Delphine[/name_f], my dad’s family is [name_m]French[/name_m] Canadian, and I love family heritage. Same goes for [name_f]Morwenna[/name_f] (my mum’s part Welsh). [name_f]Agatha[/name_f] [name_f]Juliette[/name_f] was another favourite of mine. Oddly enough though, I’m 18 next month, and I know about 5+ [name_m]Conor[/name_m]'s/[name_m]Connor[/name_m]'s who are my age or older. (Including [name_m]Conor[/name_m] [name_m]Maynard[/name_m], an English singer, who’s 21 in [name_u]November[/name_u]). I think it’s a definite 90’s name though.

Having family background in a name always makes a difference. There are so many names tat I think are lovely but I’d be laughed off the stage if I told someone I was naming a kid that–I’d be just as likely to use Laquisha as something like [name_f]Delphine[/name_f] or [name_f]Morwenna[/name_f], even if I thought they were drop dead gorgeous. It just wouldn’t work.

I think it is a 90’s name. I think the babyish feel is because the only one I can remember is a baby from the nursery in my church back in the 90’s. Crazy to think of him being an adult! But then I work in a young industry and we have a guy named [name_m]Tanner[/name_m]! lol, it’s downright funny to meet “adults” with names that feel so distinctly childish. Guess I should get used to it!

In my classes, the distinct 90’s names seem to be;

Connor
Hunter
Tanner
Cody
Tyler
Jordan
Kyle
Cameron

Kennedy
Ashley
Kaitlyn/Katelyn/Kaitlin
Makayla
Mallory
Kylie
Jordan
Morgan
Kiersten
Kirsten
Jaime
Mackenzie
Bobbi
Alexis
Danielle
Skylar

[name_f]Morwenna[/name_f] [name_f]Lily[/name_f] is a lovely combo, but [name_f]Morwenna[/name_f] is a Cornish name.

It is? I’m always seeing conflicting reports for it. Some say it’s a Welsh name, and the sister of St. [name_f]Endellion[/name_f], but I’ve seen Cornish, Celtic and Welsh listings. Thanks for clearing that up.
