I’m working on more combos, hoping to work out a top 40 or 50. A lot of this is just for fun—making combos, combining name meanings, finding new beauties that deserve a second look. Who knows? Maybe some of these names will make my top 25.
I’m splitting this list into 3 groups:
The Lawfuls (names I have no questions or concerns about) The Neutrals (names I have short questions about) The Chaotics (names I have longer or more than one question about)
This is group three: the Lawfuls.
You can pick all of your favorites from this list. This time, there is no catch! [name_m]Just[/name_m] pick your favorites.

I like [name_f]Cressida[/name_f], [name_f]Cassia[/name_f], [name_f]Daphne[/name_f], [name_f]Evadne[/name_f], [name_f]Ginevra[/name_f], and [name_f]Thora[/name_f].
I would most want to be named [name_f]Thora[/name_f]. [name_f]Thora[/name_f] [name_f]Evening[/name_f].
Adair, [name_u]Louise[/name_u], [name_f]Mabel[/name_f], and [name_u]Scout[/name_u] are adorable! I also like Adalet but it sounds so clunky and harsh in my accent. How do you pronounce it?
My favorites are [name_u]Adair[/name_u], [name_f]Galilea[/name_f], [name_f]Georgia[/name_f], [name_u]Louise[/name_u], [name_f]Luz[/name_f], [name_u]Micha[/name_u], [name_f]Una[/name_f], [name_f]Xanthe[/name_f], and [name_f]Zelie[/name_f].
I really like Adalet too! It’s a new one for me!
An unwarranted concern: Zelie has a very Catholic connotation, if that bothers you?
My favourites - acknowledging we have different tastes/styles anyway: [name_u]Adair[/name_u], [name_f]Cressida[/name_f], [name_f]Georgia[/name_f], [name_f]Hermione[/name_f], [name_f]Leonor[/name_f], [name_f]Lilith[/name_f], [name_f]Mabel[/name_f], [name_f]Ramona[/name_f] and [name_f]Yara[/name_f]. Of those, my top 3 are [name_f]Cressida[/name_f], [name_f]Leonor[/name_f] and [name_f]Lilith[/name_f]. ([name_f]Cressida[/name_f] is fabulous; so, so fabulous). I like [name_u]Louise[/name_u] but it’s my middle so feels strange to me.
I would put [name_f]Elowen[/name_f] but not with your pronunciation, sorry!
Ah, so many lovely names! [name_f]My[/name_f] favourites:
Adalet, [name_u]Atlas[/name_u], [name_u]Blake[/name_u], [name_f]Daphne[/name_f], [name_f]Elowen[/name_f] (I 100% agree this is THE pronounciation), [name_m]Finnegan[/name_m], [name_f]Galatea[/name_f], [name_f]Galilea[/name_f], [name_f]Georgia[/name_f], [name_f]Leonor[/name_f], [name_f]Luz[/name_f], [name_f]Nimue[/name_f], and [name_f]Xanthe[/name_f].
@acajou Is the association more than [name_f]Zelie[/name_f] being a saint name? I’m avoiding names with overly religious meanings but [name_f]Zelie[/name_f] appears to be related to [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f] (believe it or not!). I was catholic for 9 years and I’d never heard of the [name_m]Saint[/name_m] but I don’t want to pretend I was devout or super invested for that time so that’s why I ask!
@emelfem That’s okay about [name_f]Elowen[/name_f] . I physically can’t figure out how to say it the other way in my accent so I’ve given up. I didn’t even realize people would say it any differently until a couple years ago and it’s been on my list since I found it on Nameberry in 2013!
My favorites are [name_u]Blake[/name_u], [name_f]Daphne[/name_f], [name_f]Galilea[/name_f], [name_f]Georgia[/name_f], [name_f]Leonor[/name_f], [name_f]Mabel[/name_f], [name_f]Nola[/name_f], [name_f]Ramona[/name_f], [name_f]Reverie[/name_f], [name_f]Savvy[/name_f], and [name_f]Zelie[/name_f]!!
My favorites are [name_f]Elowen[/name_f], [name_u]Meridian[/name_u] (my son’s middle!), [name_u]Micah[/name_u], [name_f]Una[/name_f], and [name_f]Yara[/name_f]
My favorite is [name_f]Zelie[/name_f]. Second tier favorites: [name_f]Georgia[/name_f], [name_f]Cassia[/name_f], [name_f]Ramona[/name_f]
These ones are not my style, but still lovely and I would be so excited to see them used in real life: [name_f]Reverie[/name_f], [name_u]Winter[/name_u], [name_f]Xanthe[/name_f], [name_f]Ginevra[/name_f]
My favorites are [name_u]Winter[/name_u], [name_f]Thora[/name_f], [name_f]Nimue[/name_f], [name_u]Larkin[/name_u], [name_f]Ginevra[/name_f], [name_f]Gianna[/name_f], [name_f]Galilea[/name_f], [name_f]Evadne[/name_f], [name_f]Elowen[/name_f], [name_f]Daphne[/name_f] and [name_f]Cassia[/name_f]!
It’s trendy in Catholic circles. I know one in real life and I’ve heard of others through family blogs. I would assume a [name_f]Zelie[/name_f] was catholic and under the age of 10.
