I just decided to remove some of the commas in my signature, pairing names up to try out combos (for the first time ever).
Any likes/dislikes/suggestions?
Nothing too negative about [name]Owen[/name] [name]Maddox[/name] please–this one is my son! I realize many of you think it is trendy; if I could go back I would use the original [name]Madoc[/name] (or maybe [name]Maddoc[/name]), but alas I cannot. What did I ever do without nameberry??
Picking out combos for not too distant future sibs.
Thanks!
P.S. I’m loving Stellan Xavier right now. Is Stellan too similar sounding to Owen?
I don’t like [name]Stellan[/name] and it is too close to [name]Owen[/name].
[name]Cora[/name] [name]Madeleine[/name]- my favorite, stunning
[name]Margot[/name] [name]Eliza[/name]- NMS but good flow
[name]Esme[/name] [name]Lenore[/name]- like
[name]Iliana[/name] [name]Xanthe[/name]- [name]Love[/name] this
[name]Noemi[/name] [name]Clio[/name]- love names separately but not in this combo
[name]Isla[/name] [name]Maeve[/name]- very girly
[name]Owen[/name] [name]Maddox[/name]- like
[name]Jasper[/name] [name]Amias[/name]- love
[name]Desmond[/name] [name]Rhys[/name]- I don’t like either name
[name]Milo[/name] [name]Vincent[/name]- love! My favorite
[name]Everett[/name] [name]Flynn[/name]- too trendy. Prefer [name]Everett[/name] [name]Finn[/name].
[name]Stellan[/name] [name]Xavier[/name]- I don’t loke [name]Stellan[/name] or [name]Xavier[/name] spelling. Prefer [name]Javier[/name].
[name]Owen[/name] [name]Maddox[/name] is neat! [name]Love[/name] both names. [name]Maddoc[/name] is really neat too, a cool alternative to [name]Maddox[/name] I never thought of. [name]Maddoc[/name] & [name]Seamus[/name] would be awesome.
[name]Maddox[/name] also reminds me of [name]Knox[/name], which are [name]Angelina[/name] [name]Jolie[/name] and [name]Brad[/name] [name]Pitt[/name]'s kids… I like [name]Knox[/name] a lot, but its too rhymey with [name]Maddox[/name]!
[name]Stellan[/name] [name]Xavier[/name] is really strange, but I appreciate its strangeness. [name]Stellan[/name] is too close to [name]Stella[/name], though, and that names is on the rise for girls. [name]Stellan[/name] would be an interesting name on a girl, though.
I really like [name]Margot[/name], [name]Xanthe[/name], [name]Noemi[/name], [name]Maeve[/name], [name]Jasper[/name], and [name]Milo[/name] [name]Vincent[/name]. Very awesome names. I think [name]Margot[/name] [name]Eliza[/name] would make a fitting sister to [name]Owen[/name] [name]Maddox[/name], actually.
[name]Cora[/name] [name]Madeleine[/name]- Nameberry favorite…I’ve been seeing both of these a lot.
[name]Margot[/name] [name]Eliza[/name]- I like [name]Margot[/name]; it’s familar but uncommon. [name]Eliza[/name] is not my favorite form of [name]Elizabeth[/name], but it seems really popular on Nameberry.
[name]Esme[/name] [name]Lenore[/name]- I was starting to like [name]Esme[/name], but then I heard about the unfortunate name [name]Renesmee[/name] and that was the end of that. I like [name]Lenore[/name]. My BFF named her daughter [name]Lenora[/name] (nn [name]Nora[/name]), but I think she should have just went with [name]Lenore[/name].
[name]Iliana[/name] [name]Xanthe[/name]- It seems like it’s trying too hard to be exotic.
[name]Noemi[/name] [name]Clio[/name]- [name]Noemi[/name] is rather unique without being too far out there. I’m not crazy about [name]Clio[/name], but again I’ve seen it on many a list on Nameberry, so who am I to judge?
[name]Isla[/name] [name]Maeve[/name]- [name]Love[/name]! These names are just my style. They’re both my cousins’ names, but I’d use one or the other in a heartbeat if they weren’t already taken.
[name]Owen[/name] [name]Maddox[/name]- Like you said, [name]Madoc[/name]/[name]Maddoc[/name] would have been nicer, but it’s still a solid name.
[name]Jasper[/name] [name]Amias[/name]- I like the meaning of [name]Amias[/name], but not the sound.
[name]Desmond[/name] [name]Rhys[/name]- I don’t like this spelling of [name]Rhys[/name].
[name]Milo[/name] [name]Vincent[/name]- [name]Milo[/name] is another name that I see people raving about on Nameberry that I just don’t get. It makes me think of grass. [name]Miles[/name] is better.
[name]Everett[/name] [name]Flynn[/name]- The “ever” names are pretty trendy. I don’t like [name]Flynn[/name], either.
[name]Stellan[/name] [name]Xavier[/name]- [name]Stellan[/name] is not my favorite, but it does have a nice meaning. I like [name]Xavier[/name]. [name]Javier[/name] is good, too. I think either spelling/pronunciation is fine and correct.
I think of [name]Xavier[/name] and [name]Javier[/name] as totally different names. Am I alone? I say [name]Xavier[/name] ex-ZAY-vee-er and [name]Javier[/name] like hah-vee-[name]YAIR[/name]. Very different sound anyway.
Anyone else? Is [name]Cora[/name] [name]Madeleine[/name] a keeper or too common/expected? Is [name]Iliana[/name] [name]Xanthe[/name] trying too hard? What would be a good middle for either [name]Noemi[/name] or [name]Clio[/name]?
[name]How[/name] do you say [name]Xavier[/name]? Would [name]Stellan[/name] [name]Rhys[/name] be better? [name]Milo[/name] [name]Vincent[/name] or [name]Vincent[/name] [name]Milo[/name]?
