I just put together this list of combos that may work together from the list of names I like. What do you all think? Any other combos or names that are a similar style?
[name]Georgia[/name] [name]Lilac[/name]
[name]Georgia[/name] [name]Pearl[/name]
[name]Moriah[/name] [name]Haidee[/name]
[name]Wren[/name] [name]Eliora[/name]
[name]Felicity[/name] [name]Raine[/name]
[name]Delaney[/name] [name]Cosette[/name]
[name]Cadence[/name] [name]Lark[/name]
[name]Ramona[/name] [name]Cadence[/name]
[name]Rilla[/name] [name]Monet[/name]
[name]Cadence[/name] [name]Eppie[/name]
[name]Adelaide[/name] [name]Raine[/name]
[name]Vera[/name] [name]Cosette[/name] (I prn. [name]Vera[/name] veh-ra not veer-a. I like this combo because it means victorious life)
[name]Fern[/name] [name]Moriah[/name]
EDIT: I’m adding Dulcinea Fern and October Claire to the mix.
All your combos are lovely, but I just have to say, I adore [name]Wren[/name] [name]Eliora[/name]! So stunning and sweet. Girly, but not frilly. I love it. I really like [name]Adelaide[/name] and [name]Felicity[/name], as well. I love your pronunciation of [name]Vera[/name], too–it makes it so much more appealing to me!
Aw, thanks [name]Ashley[/name]! I had a tough time finding a good MN for [name]Wren[/name] and wasn’t sure how [name]Eliora[/name] worked. I’m glad that you like it!
[name]Georgia[/name] [name]Pearl[/name]/[name]Lilac[/name] - I’m not fond of the name [name]Georgia[/name] but I prefer [name]Georgia[/name] [name]Pearl[/name]
[name]Moriah[/name] [name]Haidee[/name] - I adore the name [name]Moriah[/name]! not sure about [name]Haidee[/name], reminds me of Hades. [name]Moriah[/name] [name]Lark[/name], [name]Moriah[/name] [name]Fern[/name], [name]Moriah[/name] [name]Pearl[/name], [name]Moriah[/name] [name]Raine[/name]
[name]Wren[/name] [name]Eliora[/name] - not bad, [name]Wren[/name] [name]Noreen[/name]
[name]Felicity[/name] [name]Raine[/name] - this one is nice
[name]Delaney[/name] [name]Cosette[/name] - I love [name]Cosette[/name], not so fond of [name]Delaney[/name]. [name]Cosette[/name] [name]Moriah[/name] or [name]Moriah[/name] [name]Cosette[/name] would work
[name]Cadence[/name] [name]Lark[/name] - I like this one!
[name]Ramona[/name] [name]Cadence[/name] - I love both names but maybe not together, [name]Ramona[/name] [name]Lark[/name], [name]Ramona[/name] [name]Raine[/name], [name]Ramona[/name] [name]Wren[/name], [name]Ramona[/name] [name]Fern[/name]
[name]Rilla[/name] [name]Monet[/name] - I love [name]Monet[/name], [name]Rilla[/name] is only okay for me. I think [name]Cadence[/name] [name]Monet[/name] would be gorgeous
[name]Cadence[/name] [name]Eppie[/name] - I like [name]Cadence[/name] but [name]Eppie[/name] just makes me think of Epi-[name]Pen[/name]…
[name]Adelaide[/name] [name]Raine[/name] - okay, flow isn’t really perfect though, [name]Adelaide[/name] [name]Dawn[/name], [name]Adelaide[/name] [name]Pearl[/name]
[name]Vera[/name] [name]Cosette[/name] - pretty, though it’s hard to control pronunciation without a whole mess of correcting
[name]Fern[/name] [name]Moriah[/name] - I like both names, I think [name]Moriah[/name] [name]Fern[/name] flows better though
Thanks for your feedback kala_way!
I can’t help but comment on your suggestions, because they are so good!
I agree that [name]Georgia[/name] [name]Pearl[/name] is nicer. [name]Georgia[/name] [name]Lilac[/name] honors a family member though, so I’m keeping it as an option.
I’m glad you like [name]Moriah[/name]! [name]Moriah[/name] [name]Lark[/name] and [name]Moriah[/name] [name]Fern[/name] are so pretty! I like the look and sound of those much better than [name]Moriah[/name] [name]Haidee[/name].
I also really like the suggestion of [name]Moriah[/name] [name]Cosette[/name]. That has a really nice, completed sound to it.
As I’m saying [name]Ramona[/name] [name]Cadence[/name] more I’m realizing that the “cadence” is a bit off. [name]Ramona[/name] [name]Fern[/name] is lovely!
Wow, [name]Cadence[/name] [name]Monet[/name] is so understated and beautiful.
[name]Vera[/name] [name]Cosette[/name] is lovely and I love the meaning. I also like [name]Georgia[/name] and [name]Adelaide[/name].
Also, [name]October[/name] is a guilty pleasure of mine. It sounds so cute with [name]Claire[/name]! [name]Toby[/name] is a cute nickname, too.
I love [name]Adelaide[/name] and [name]Felicity[/name], but [name]Raine[/name] is just not my cup of tea. [name]How[/name] about a different middle name?
[name]Georgia[/name] [name]Lilac[/name]/[name]Pearl[/name]- I love [name]Georgia[/name]! [name]Both[/name] middle names are nice.
[name]Moriah[/name] [name]Haidee[/name]- Not really a fan of either name.
[name]Wren[/name] [name]Eliora[/name]- I used to only like [name]Wren[/name] in the middle, but it’s been growing on me as a first. [name]Eliora[/name] is absolutely stunning.
[name]Felicity[/name] [name]Raine[/name]- Too many words! I absolutely love [name]Felicity[/name] but I’d switch the middle to something else ([name]Raina[/name], maybe?) because it’s just too wordy.
[name]Delaney[/name] [name]Cosette[/name]- [name]Delaney[/name] really isn’t my taste. I don’t like [name]Cosette[/name] as a first (I prefer [name]Colette[/name],) but it’s nice in the middle.
[name]Cadence[/name] [name]Lark[/name]/[name]Eppie[/name]- Like [name]Felicity[/name] [name]Raine[/name], I don’t think it’s good to have two word names in a combo. For me, [name]Cadence[/name] sounds too much like [name]Caden[/name]/[name]Kayden[/name]/[name]Brayden[/name]/[name]Hayden[/name]/[name]Jayden[/name]/[name]Aidan[/name] etc.
[name]Ramona[/name] [name]Cadence[/name]
[name]Rilla[/name] [name]Monet[/name]- I prefer [name]Willa[/name].
[name]Adelaide[/name] [name]Raine[/name]- I love [name]Adelaide[/name]! I’m not a huge fan of the assonance with [name]Raine[/name], but it’s not terrible.
[name]Vera[/name] [name]Cosette[/name] (I prn. [name]Vera[/name] veh-ra not veer-a. I like this combo because it means victorious life)- That pronunciation will be next to impossible to get. I think the sound is gorgeous, though. I’m not sure where you got the meaning “victorious life,” but it’s wrong. [name]Vera[/name] means “truth” or “faith” and [name]Cosette[/name] was a name invented by [name]Victor[/name] [name]Hugo[/name] for his character in [name]Les[/name] Mis, essentially not meaning anything. [name]Vida[/name] [name]Colette[/name] would mean something similar to “victorious life”- [name]Vita[/name] and [name]Vida[/name] mean “life” and [name]Colette[/name] is a form of [name]Nicholas[/name], which means “victory of the people.” [name]Vera[/name] and [name]Cosette[/name] have separate origins than [name]Vida[/name] and [name]Colette[/name], though, so the meaning is not the same.
[name]Fern[/name] [name]Moriah[/name]- [name]Wren[/name] and [name]Fern[/name] strike me as very similar, but I think [name]Wren[/name] is a lot more graceful.
@michelle: Yes, I love [name]Toby[/name] as a nn for [name]October[/name]! I guess I’d classify the name as a guilty pleasure for myself as well.
@daisy451:
I had forgotten about [name]Willa[/name]! I love that name! I think [name]Rilla[/name] is probably more usable as a nn for [name]Marilla[/name].
That’s a good point about the similar sounds in [name]Adelaide[/name] and [name]Raine[/name] – I’ll have to switch that combo.
Yes, that’s what I fear about the pronunciation of [name]Vera[/name].
Many sites list [name]Cosette[/name] as another variant of [name]Nicholas[/name] and I’ve seen somewhere that [name]Vera[/name] means life.
Here are some of my new ideas:
[name]Ramona[/name] [name]Eppie[/name]
[name]Marilla[/name] [name]Fern[/name]
[name]Willa[/name] [name]Cosette[/name]/[name]Willa[/name] [name]Fern[/name]
[name]Adelaide[/name] [name]Monet[/name]
Thank you all so much, this is really helping me brainstorm and refine my list!
[name]Vera[/name] [name]Cosette[/name] is my favorite from the list. I think [name]Vita[/name] [name]Colette[/name] is also cute, but I really like [name]Vera[/name]. I do like [name]Ramona[/name], but not with [name]Cadence[/name] or [name]Eppie[/name]. [name]Willa[/name] [name]Cosette[/name] is also cute and I think I like that more than [name]Willa[/name] [name]Fern[/name]. [name]Fern[/name] is not my style, but it can be cute and unexpected as a middle name. I think I really like the idea of [name]Verena[/name] [name]Fern[/name], but that may not be your style.
[name]Georgia[/name] [name]Lilac[/name]. I’m not a huge fan of [name]Georgia[/name] but I’m a sucker for [name]Lilac[/name].
[name]Adelaide[/name] [name]Raine[/name] - love [name]Adelaide[/name], dislike [name]Raine[/name]. [name]Adelaide[/name] [name]Pearl[/name]
[name]October[/name] [name]Claire[/name] - [name]October[/name] is a guilty pleasure name of mine, along with [name]September[/name] and [name]December[/name]. [name]Olympia[/name] [name]Claire[/name]?
[name]Eliora[/name] is nice, but I prefer [name]Eleanor[/name] or [name]Elora[/name].
[name]Georgia[/name] [name]Lilac[/name] - Wow. A stunner.
[name]Georgia[/name] [name]Pearl[/name] - Pretty.
[name]Moriah[/name] [name]Haidee[/name] - I dislike both names.
[name]Wren[/name] [name]Eliora[/name] - Pretty. [name]Love[/name] [name]Wren[/name].
[name]Felicity[/name] [name]Raine[/name] - [name]Love[/name] [name]Felicity[/name]. Dislike [name]Raine[/name]. [name]Raine[/name] cheapens the elegance of [name]Felicity[/name].
[name]Delaney[/name] [name]Cosette[/name] - [name]Love[/name] [name]Cosette[/name]. Hate [name]Delaney[/name]. [name]Delaney[/name] cheapens the elegance of [name]Cosette[/name].
[name]Cadence[/name] [name]Lark[/name] - Dislike [name]Cadence[/name]. Like [name]Lark[/name]. Either way, these two names do not mesh well together.
[name]Ramona[/name] [name]Cadence[/name] - [name]Love[/name] [name]Ramona[/name]. Dislike [name]Cadence[/name].
[name]Rilla[/name] [name]Monet[/name] - I’ve never heard of [name]Rilla[/name] before, and honestly, it sounds incomplete. [name]Monet[/name] sounds pretentious.
[name]Cadence[/name] [name]Eppie[/name] - [name]Eppie[/name]? Like…pen? No. Sorry.
[name]Adelaide[/name] [name]Raine[/name] - [name]Love[/name] [name]Adelaide[/name]. Dislike [name]Raine[/name].
[name]Vera[/name] [name]Cosette[/name] - It’s alright.
[name]Fern[/name] [name]Moriah[/name] - [name]Fern[/name] [name]Mariah[/name] is a bit better… [name]Love[/name] [name]Fern[/name] though!
What about [name]Adelaide[/name] [name]Lark[/name]? Now that’s a stunning combo! Also, how are [name]Ramona[/name] [name]Lark[/name] and [name]Vera[/name] [name]Felicity[/name]?
I agree that [name]Marilla[/name] is a great full name for [name]Rilla[/name].
I’m glad to see [name]Georgia[/name] [name]Lilac[/name] getting some love! I was excited when I found a way to incorporate [name]Lilac[/name] into a combo!
@nicole: I really like [name]Ramona[/name] [name]Lark[/name] and [name]Vera[/name] [name]Felicity[/name]! Very pretty.
I love your pronunciation of [name]Vera[/name], too–it makes it so much more appealing to me!
