[name]Dean[/name] [name]Shepherd[/name]
[name]Dominic[/name] [name]Matthew[/name]
[name]Owen[/name] [name]Christopher[/name]
[name]Jude[/name] [name]Aloysius[/name]
[name]Charles[/name] [name]Anthony[/name]

[Mischa]

I like these combos…

[name]Dean[/name] [name]Shepherd[/name]
[name]Dominic[/name] [name]Matthew[/name] (3rd fave)
[name]Gabriel[/name] [name]Joseph[/name] (2nd fave)
[name]Jude[/name] [name]Aloysius[/name] (Fave)
[name]Maxwell[/name] [name]Nicholas[/name]
[name]Charles[/name] [name]Anthony[/name]
[name]Crispin[/name] [name]Alexander[/name]
[name]Franklin[/name] [name]Samuel[/name]

[Dantea]

[name]Dean[/name] [name]Shepherd[/name] – I don’t like either name, but I do love the connection and they sound wonderful together so I actually love this more than I thought I would
[name]Dominic[/name] [name]Matthew[/name] – [name]Love[/name] [name]Dominic[/name], like [name]Matthew[/name], they sound nice together but the flow is a little weird
[name]Gabriel[/name] [name]Joseph[/name] – I would prefer [name]Joseph[/name] [name]Gabriel[/name] simply for flow, but this combo is very nice
[name]Henry[/name] [name]Kerrigan[/name] – [name]Love[/name] it! [name]Kerrigan[/name] is unusual but [name]Henry[/name] is classic and they sound great together and balance each other out perfectly
[name]Liam[/name] [name]Xavier[/name] – [name]Favorite[/name]! Are you saying it x-zay-vee-er or zay-vee-er? In this combo, I’m saying it the first way but it sound fine either way.
[name]Callum[/name] [name]Beckett[/name] – nms style really, I just can’t get behind [name]Callum[/name] and I dislike [name]Beckett[/name] for some reason
[name]Owen[/name] [name]Christopher[/name] – [name]Love[/name] [name]Owen[/name] and is sounds nice with [name]Christopher[/name], though the flow is off.
[name]Jude[/name] [name]Aloysius[/name] – I love this! [name]Aloysius[/name] is a guilty pleasure sort of name for me. I’ve loved it since I read and saw the play Doubt. Sounds great with [name]Jude[/name].
[name]Elliot[/name] [name]Sebastian[/name] – Second favorite! I love this a lot! Very handsome
[name]Maxwell[/name] [name]Nicholas[/name] – I don’t like the flow of this one and I’ve met so many [name]Nicholas[/name]’ that i’m so tired of it
[name]Charles[/name] [name]Anthony[/name] – Very distinguished sounding
[name]Declan[/name] [name]Blaise[/name] – OOO [name]Love[/name] it! Third favorite!
[name]Crispin[/name] [name]Alexander[/name] – [name]Ah[/name] I love this one a lot too. This one is very adventurous sounding but very cool. Dashing is the word that comes to mind
[name]Franklin[/name] [name]Samuel[/name] – I think the flow would be better as [name]Samuel[/name] [name]Franklin[/name], but it’s a fine combo

so my top 4 are:

1. [name]Liam[/name] [name]Xavier[/name]
2. [name]Elliot[/name] [name]Sebastian[/name]
3. [name]Declan[/name] [name]Blaise[/name] with a tie against [name]Crispin[/name] [name]Alexander[/name]

[ashthedreamer]

ha. I should just not comment on these, you already know I love them all so much.

[name]Jude[/name] [name]Aloysius[/name] is probably my favorite, but I also really love [name]Dean[/name] [name]Shepherd[/name], and I adore pretty much ever FN on your list–especially [name]Gabriel[/name] and [name]Declan[/name]! I’m kind of sad that [name]Samuel[/name]'s not a FN option any more, though, and that there’s no [name]Beckett[/name] [name]Daniel[/name]!

[rin]

Awesome work! You have some great name combinations there

I particularly like [name]Henry[/name] [name]Kerrigan[/name]!

I also love the name [name]Dean[/name].

[googoogixie]

[name]Dean[/name] [name]Shepherd[/name] is so handsome!! I also love [name]Callum[/name] ([name]Beckett[/name] not so much) and [name]Jude[/name] [name]Aloysius[/name].

[dillonsfan01]

Thanks everyone!

@dantea - I toy with which pronunciation I like better but I usually always go for X-zay-vee-er

@[name]Ash[/name] - Well [name]Daniel[/name] is unusable now I did go back and forth on [name]Callum[/name] [name]Beckett[/name] or [name]Beckett[/name] [name]Alexander[/name] but [name]Callum[/name] [name]Beckett[/name] just felt more right. [name]Samuel[/name] is still an option. We were going back and forth between [name]Samuel[/name] [name]Adam[/name] (which I love but he says is all liquor ) and [name]Samuel[/name] [name]Grayson[/name] which he really loved. So for now [name]Franklin[/name] [name]Samuel[/name] is our compromise but you know how long our compromises usually last

[libbyj06]

These are great combos. While some of them are not my style, they are still great choices and fit well together. I’ll list my favorites!

[name]Gabriel[/name] [name]Joseph[/name]
[name]Dean[/name] [name]Shepherd[/name]
[name]Henry[/name] [name]Kerrigan[/name]
[name]Liam[/name] [name]Zavier[/name]
[name]Callum[/name] [name]Beckett[/name]
[name]Elliot[/name] [name]Sebastian[/name]
[name]Charles[/name] [name]Anthony[/name]

[kittyx2]

[name]Henry[/name] [name]Kerrigan[/name] & [name]Elliot[/name] [name]Sebastian[/name] are my faves.

What are your opinions of our short list? Please be honest I can take it We have a lot of saint and family connections and popularity does not concern us at all.

[name]Dean[/name] [name]Shepherd[/name] (this will definitely be the name of our first son ) - [name]Dean[/name] reminds me of [name]James[/name] [name]Dean[/name]; so it always meake me think of “cool” when I hear it
[name]Dominic[/name] [name]Matthew[/name] - I know MANY Dominics, but I still like it…and I like the nn [name]Dom[/name]
[name]Gabriel[/name] [name]Joseph[/name] - my sister would have been named [name]Gabriel[/name] if she were a boy…I like [name]Gabe[/name] a lot, I know there’s lots of Gabriels born every year, but it’s a really nice name
[name]Henry[/name] [name]Kerrigan[/name] - i like this entire name combo!
[name]Liam[/name] [name]Xavier[/name] - [name]Liam[/name]'s another name used a lot lately, but I still really like it, and it pairs nicely with [name]Xavier[/name]…and I lobe finding ways to work in names with O’s, X’s, or Z’s
[name]Callum[/name] [name]Beckett[/name] - very close to our choice of [name]Colm[/name], so I love it! It goes well with [name]Beckett[/name], too.
[name]Owen[/name] [name]Christopher[/name] - an “O” name, very nice! [name]Christopher[/name] is over-used, but it works with [name]Owen[/name]
[name]Jude[/name] [name]Aloysius[/name] - Oh I love this combo! [name]Jude[/name] is just a name I adore for some reason, and paired with something as unique as [name]Aloysius[/name], it just stands out.
[name]Elliot[/name] [name]Sebastian[/name] - like and like
[name]Maxwell[/name] [name]Nicholas[/name] - I really like [name]Max[/name]…unfortunately all I ca think of when I see this name now is [name]Jessica[/name] [name]Simpson[/name]'s baby GIRL
[name]Charles[/name] [name]Anthony[/name] - This is one of those names that I like as a nn for a girl instead of a boy’s name ([name]Charlie[/name]) and [name]Anthony[/name] is nice but kinda blase probabl because I’ve known SO many
[name]Declan[/name] [name]Blaise[/name] - [name]Declan[/name] is a great one; one of my fave Irish boy’s names. [name]Blaise[/name] is NMS, but I know two awesome little boys with that astheir fn’s.
[name]Crispin[/name] [name]Alexander[/name] - [name]Crispin[/name] is one of those names I always forget about, but I do like it. Alxander is again, used a lot; but works well here as a mn, [name]IMO[/name].
[name]Franklin[/name] [name]Samuel[/name] - [name]Franklin[/name]'s cool…sort of like [name]Lincoln[/name] in the way of old, “founding fathers” type of way; and [name]Samuel[/name] balances it out well and gives a nice, Biblical reference.

Thank you so much
