Girls List: Keep or Cut?

[aj_bear]

Hello all! In the past month I’ve posted a poll about my top ten girls combos, and everyone was very helpful!. There were some clear favorites ([name]Clara[/name] [name]Josephine[/name]) along with a few that weren’t received well ([name]Cornelia[/name] [name]Bronwen[/name]).

So I’m wondering which ones you would keep, and which ones you would cut. I have a top 25, but these are the ones I would deffinetly use unless there were real issue. [name]Feel[/name] free to be as honest as you want, though if you can’t say it civilly, dont’ say it at all.
Here’s the list:

[name]Dorothea[/name] [name]Juliet[/name] nn. [name]Doro[/name], [name]Dorie[/name], [name]Thea[/name] (for my grandma [name]Dorothy[/name] and mom [name]Julie[/name])
[name]Sybil[/name] [name]Briony[/name] nn. [name]Billy[/name]
[name]Beatrice[/name] [name]Aurelia[/name]
[name]Alice[/name] [name]Imogen[/name] nn. Lissy, [name]Elsie[/name]
[name]Edith[/name] [name]Genevieve[/name] nn. [name]Edie[/name]
[name]Georgiana[/name] [name]Maeve[/name] nn. [name]Gig[/name], [name]Georgie[/name]
[name]Adelaide[/name] [name]Natalia[/name] nn. Lady, Dela
[name]Cornelia[/name] [name]Bronwen[/name] nn. [name]Cora[/name]
[name]Clara[/name] [name]Josephine[/name]
[name]Louisa[/name] [name]Blythe[/name] nn. [name]Lou[/name], [name]Libby[/name], [name]Lola[/name]

Thanks in advance!

[name]Dorothea[/name] [name]Juliet[/name] nn. [name]Doro[/name], [name]Dorie[/name], [name]Thea[/name] (for my grandma [name]Dorothy[/name] and mom [name]Julie[/name]) - Keep. I like [name]Dorothea[/name], [name]Juliet[/name] is classic and pretty.

[name]Sybil[/name] [name]Briony[/name] nn. [name]Billy[/name] - Keep, but consider respelling [name]Bryony[/name] like this. It’s less Atonement and the actual botanical spelling, not just y’s running amok

[name]Beatrice[/name] [name]Aurelia[/name] - I like [name]Beatrice[/name], not [name]Aurelia[/name]. Sorry. Going to put this one down for cut because you have prettier combos.

[name]Alice[/name] [name]Imogen[/name] nn. Lissy, [name]Elsie[/name] - Keep, love both names.

[name]Edith[/name] [name]Genevieve[/name] nn. [name]Edie[/name] - Cut or at least reverse, but I am not a big fan of [name]Edith[/name].

[name]Georgiana[/name] [name]Maeve[/name] nn. [name]Gig[/name], [name]Georgie[/name] - Keep. Gorgeous, unexpected, nice flow.

[name]Adelaide[/name] [name]Natalia[/name] nn. Lady, Dela - Cut. [name]Adelaide[/name] and [name]Natalia[/name] don’t relate well to each other [name]IMO[/name] and I don’t really like [name]Adelaide[/name] anyway, I much prefer simpler variants like [name]Ada[/name].

[name]Cornelia[/name] [name]Bronwen[/name] nn. [name]Cora[/name] - [name]Cora[/name] is usually not my favourite when stacked next to [name]Flora[/name] or [name]Nora[/name], but in this case I like. [name]Cornelia[/name] feels very underused compared to [name]Cordelia[/name] which isn’t bad itself. Keep.

[name]Clara[/name] [name]Josephine[/name] - I must be anti-Nameberry today, I like [name]Cornelia[/name] a bit for its Victorian whimsy, but [name]Clara[/name] does nothing for me. I prefer [name]Claire[/name]/[name]Clare[/name]? I do like [name]Josephine[/name] but this combo is less cool than most of your others.

[name]Louisa[/name] [name]Blythe[/name] nn. [name]Lou[/name], [name]Libby[/name], [name]Lola[/name] - [name]Louisa[/name] is not my favourite thing but it does have a classical quality and nicknames on its side. I adore [name]Blythe[/name]. I might kiss you if you re-pair [name]Blythe[/name] with [name]Genevieve[/name] or [name]Natalia[/name] though.

I hope that wasn’t too mean, it’s just how I feel.

[aj_bear]

@stripedsocks- Thanks for your reply! Your opinions weren’t mean at all, I enjoyed the honesty. I origionally had spelled [name]Briony[/name] “[name]Bryony[/name]” but it was said that it was a very y-heavy. I like the clean look of [name]Briony[/name], but the origional spelling is appealing too. I also understand why you don’t like [name]Adelaide[/name] [name]Natalia[/name]. I thought they had a neat balance of exotic and traditional, but they are a tad off. [name]Adelaide[/name] is one of my favorites, but its’ awful with my last name.

Keep the coments coming!

• [name]Athena[/name]

[beautifulspoon]

KEEP:
[name]Dorothea[/name] [name]Juliet[/name] nn. [name]Doro[/name], [name]Dorie[/name], [name]Thea[/name] (for my grandma [name]Dorothy[/name] and mom [name]Julie[/name])
[name]Alice[/name] [name]Imogen[/name] nn. Lissy, [name]Elsie[/name]
[name]Cornelia[/name] [name]Bronwen[/name] nn. [name]Cora[/name]
[name]Clara[/name] [name]Josephine[/name]
[name]Louisa[/name] [name]Blythe[/name] nn. [name]Lou[/name], [name]Libby[/name], [name]Lola[/name]
[name]Georgiana[/name] [name]Maeve[/name] nn. [name]Gig[/name], [name]Georgie[/name]

CUT:
[name]Sybil[/name] [name]Briony[/name] nn. [name]Billy[/name]
[name]Beatrice[/name] [name]Aurelia[/name]
[name]Edith[/name] [name]Genevieve[/name] nn. [name]Edie[/name]
[name]Adelaide[/name] [name]Natalia[/name] nn. Lady, Dela

My overall favorite is [name]Georgiana[/name] [name]Maeve[/name], but I’d call her Peach!
I like [name]Thea[/name], too!

[karabe23]

[name]Dorothea[/name] [name]Juliet[/name] nn. [name]Doro[/name], [name]Dorie[/name], [name]Thea[/name] (for my grandma [name]Dorothy[/name] and mom [name]Julie[/name])- Keep. [name]Love[/name] the nickname [name]Thea[/name] and [name]Juliet[/name] is also on my list to honour my Mum also called [name]Julie[/name]

[name]Sybil[/name] [name]Briony[/name] nn. [name]Billy[/name]- Keep [name]Sybil[/name] but I would maybe look for an alternative middle. It just feels quite a mouth full with all the B’s and Y’s.

[name]Beatrice[/name] [name]Aurelia[/name]- Keep. [name]Beatrice[/name] has really grown on me lately and I like it paired with something a bit more unusual like [name]Aurelia[/name].

[name]Alice[/name] [name]Imogen[/name] nn. Lissy, [name]Elsie[/name]- I love love love [name]Imogen[/name], but I am completely ambivalent about [name]Alice[/name]. I suspect it has something to do with the fact I knew 3 growing up in the U.K. and 2 of my friends have had daughters called [name]Alice[/name] over the past few years.

[name]Edith[/name] [name]Genevieve[/name] nn. [name]Edie[/name]- Keep. I love [name]Edith[/name] and [name]Genevieve[/name] they are both on my own list.

[name]Georgiana[/name] [name]Maeve[/name] nn. [name]Gig[/name], [name]Georgie[/name]- Keep. agree with stripedsocks it unexpected but lovely.

[name]Adelaide[/name] [name]Natalia[/name] nn. Lady, Dela- Keep. I wasn’t sure about this one at first but the more I say it the more i like it.

[name]Cornelia[/name] [name]Bronwen[/name] nn. [name]Cora[/name]- I teach the most adorable little girl called [name]Bronwen[/name] so I love the name but I have to admit I much prefer [name]Cordelia[/name] to [name]Cornelia[/name].

[name]Clara[/name] [name]Josephine[/name]- Keep, [name]Love[/name] them both

[name]Louisa[/name] [name]Blythe[/name] nn. [name]Lou[/name], [name]Libby[/name], [name]Lola[/name]- Keep. Again like them both especially [name]Blythe[/name].

My favourite’s are definitely [name]Dorothea[/name] [name]Juliet[/name] and [name]Georgiana[/name] [name]Maeve[/name] followed a close second by [name]Sybil[/name] and [name]Edith[/name].

[zora]

[name]Dorothea[/name] [name]Juliet[/name] nn. [name]Doro[/name], [name]Dorie[/name], [name]Thea[/name] Keep.
[name]Sybil[/name] [name]Briony[/name] nn. [name]Billy[/name] Not what I would suggest to keep, but no need for cut
[name]Beatrice[/name] [name]Aurelia[/name] keep
[name]Alice[/name] [name]Imogen[/name] nn. Lissy, [name]Elsie[/name] keep
[name]Edith[/name] [name]Genevieve[/name] nn. [name]Edie[/name] cut
[name]Georgiana[/name] [name]Maeve[/name] nn. [name]Gig[/name], [name]Georgie[/name] cut
[name]Adelaide[/name] [name]Natalia[/name] nn. Lady, Dela not what I would suggest to keep, but no need for cut
[name]Cornelia[/name] [name]Bronwen[/name] nn. [name]Cora[/name] keep
[name]Clara[/name] [name]Josephine[/name] keep
[name]Louisa[/name] [name]Blythe[/name] nn. [name]Lou[/name], [name]Libby[/name], [name]Lola[/name] cut

[goodhope]

I would keep [name]Alice[/name] [name]Imogen[/name], [name]Georgiana[/name] [name]Maeve[/name], [name]Clara[/name] [name]Josephine[/name], and [name]Louisa[/name] [name]Blythe[/name] because I love their flow, and I’d also keep [name]Dorothea[/name] [name]Juliet[/name] because it’s so meaningful. I’m on the fence about [name]Sybil[/name] [name]Briony[/name] and [name]Edith[/name] [name]Genevieve[/name], so I lean toward keeping them, too.

I’m afraid the others don’t appeal to me. [name]Beatrice[/name] [name]Aurelia[/name] feels very heavy and ponderous on my tongue. I find [name]Adelaide[/name] and [name]Natalia[/name] mismatched when side-by-side. I would have loved [name]Cordelia[/name] [name]Bronwen[/name], but I don’t like the “corn” in [name]Cornelia[/name].

[cruisefortibet]

KEEP, with considerations:
[name]Dorothea[/name] [name]Juliet[/name] nn. [name]Doro[/name], [name]Dorie[/name], [name]Thea[/name] (for my grandma [name]Dorothy[/name] and mom [name]Julie[/name]): Personally I would reverse this just because I much prefer [name]Juliet[/name] as a first name, but it works either way depending on your preference.
[name]Sybil[/name] [name]Briony[/name] nn. [name]Billy[/name]; I am kind of neutral on this one, I know someone named “[name]Sybille[/name]” and it’s nice, I like [name]Briony[/name] how you’ve spelled it too.
[name]Adelaide[/name] [name]Natalia[/name] nn. Lady, Dela; I like [name]Adelaide[/name], but I think it might flow better with a shorter middle name.
[name]Clara[/name] [name]Josephine[/name]; Pretty, but for some reason I just keep wanting to read this as ‘[name]Claire[/name] [name]Josephine[/name]’.
[name]Edith[/name] [name]Genevieve[/name] nn. [name]Edie[/name]; I like both names, but prefer them reversed.
[name]Georgiana[/name] [name]Maeve[/name] nn. [name]Gig[/name], [name]Georgie[/name]; I like this as is.

CUT:
[name]Beatrice[/name] [name]Aurelia[/name]; I don’t mind [name]Aurelia[/name], not a fan of [name]Beatrice[/name] though. I just can’t imagine it on a young girl.
[name]Alice[/name] [name]Imogen[/name] nn. Lissy, [name]Elsie[/name]; [name]Alice[/name] is fine, but I thought you had better options above.
[name]Cornelia[/name] [name]Bronwen[/name] nn. [name]Cora[/name]; I like [name]Bronwen[/name] in a way, not so much [name]Cornelia[/name]. I like the nn [name]Cora[/name] though.
[name]Louisa[/name] [name]Blythe[/name] nn. [name]Lou[/name], [name]Libby[/name], [name]Lola[/name]; [name]Just[/name] not my style, both sound a little too old-fashioned for me.

I don’t see anything personally wrong about your name choices, honestly the ones I think to cut are just not my style. I think they are all solid name ideas

[raqkel]

[name]Dorothea[/name] [name]Juliet[/name] nn. [name]Doro[/name], [name]Dorie[/name], [name]Thea[/name] (for my grandma [name]Dorothy[/name] and mom [name]Julie[/name]) - Keep. Very pretty and has great personal meaning.
[name]Sybil[/name] [name]Briony[/name] nn. [name]Billy[/name] - I’m thinking keep.
[name]Beatrice[/name] [name]Aurelia[/name] - Keep.
[name]Alice[/name] [name]Imogen[/name] nn. Lissy, [name]Elsie[/name] - My fave! Keep!
[name]Edith[/name] [name]Genevieve[/name] nn. [name]Edie[/name] - I like the nn [name]Edie[/name] a lot. Not crazy about [name]Edith[/name]. But keep.
[name]Georgiana[/name] [name]Maeve[/name] nn. [name]Gig[/name], [name]Georgie[/name] - KEEP!
[name]Adelaide[/name] [name]Natalia[/name] nn. Lady, Dela - Keep
[name]Cornelia[/name] [name]Bronwen[/name] nn. [name]Cora[/name] - I prefer [name]Cordelia[/name], but keep.
[name]Clara[/name] [name]Josephine[/name] - Keep. NMS, but it is a nice name and combo.
[name]Louisa[/name] [name]Blythe[/name] nn. [name]Lou[/name], [name]Libby[/name], [name]Lola[/name] - [name]LOVE[/name]!

[Dantea]

Here’s the ones I would keep:

[name]Dorothea[/name] [name]Juliet[/name] – I like [name]Thea[/name] the most as a nickname. I think the names go well together and both a very pretty
[name]Sybil[/name] [name]Briony[/name] – I don’t really like [name]Briony[/name], but I think it sounds great with [name]Sybil[/name] and I [name]LOVE[/name] [name]Sybil[/name] (but hate [name]Billy[/name] as a nickname, sorry)
[name]Beatrice[/name] [name]Aurelia[/name] – I love this one a lot! Very pretty
[name]Alice[/name] [name]Imogen[/name] – I don’t like your nicknames, but the combo is stunning
[name]Cornelia[/name] [name]Bronwen[/name] nn. [name]Cora[/name] – See I love [name]Cornelia[/name] so much! [name]Bronwen[/name] sounds great with it too and [name]Cora[/name] is a familiar name to use as a nickname.

I liked pieces of the other names, but didn’t like them over all as combos.

[rubysophia]

[name]Dorothea[/name] [name]Juliet[/name] nn. [name]Doro[/name], [name]Dorie[/name], [name]Thea[/name] (for my grandma [name]Dorothy[/name] and mom [name]Julie[/name])- this is nice. I like [name]Dorothea[/name] and [name]Juliet[/name]. [name]Dorie[/name] and [name]Thea[/name] are cute nns. Keep
[name]Sybil[/name] [name]Briony[/name] nn. [name]Billy[/name]- This has nice flow, but I don’t like the boyish nn [name]Billy[/name]. Keep
[name]Beatrice[/name] [name]Aurelia[/name]- I don’t like either names, but they sound fine together. Keep
[name]Alice[/name] [name]Imogen[/name] nn. Lissy, [name]Elsie[/name]- This one is very nice and unexpected. Definitely keep!
[name]Edith[/name] [name]Genevieve[/name] nn. [name]Edie[/name]- Ok. Nothing wrong with it but not my favorite. Cut.
[name]Georgiana[/name] [name]Maeve[/name] nn. [name]Gig[/name], [name]Georgie[/name]- I really don’t like [name]Georgiana[/name], but [name]Maeve[/name] is lovely. I’d cut it.
[name]Adelaide[/name] [name]Natalia[/name] nn. Lady, Dela- I’m divided on this one. There’s something off about it and yet it is still intriguing and appealing.
[name]Cornelia[/name] [name]Bronwen[/name] nn. [name]Cora[/name]- [name]Cornelia[/name] is very nasally to me. I prefer [name]Cordelia[/name]. I’d cut this name, it’s just not appealing to me.
[name]Clara[/name] [name]Josephine[/name]- Ok, but kind of mainstream compared to your other names. I guess for that reason I’d cut it.
[name]Louisa[/name] [name]Blythe[/name] nn. [name]Lou[/name], [name]Libby[/name], [name]Lola[/name]- like this a lot. Keep!

[british.mama]

[name]Dorothea[/name] [name]Juliet[/name] nn. [name]Doro[/name], [name]Dorie[/name], [name]Thea[/name]- Keep for the familial connection, otherwise I’d have said cut…could you use variations of the names? I like [name]Thea[/name] [name]Juliet[/name], but I both slightly dated names together I don’t love…
[name]Sybil[/name] [name]Briony[/name] nn. [name]Billy[/name]- [name]Love[/name] [name]Sybil[/name]! Find the combination a little heavy on the B sound. [name]Sybil[/name] [name]Eleanor[/name]? [name]Sybil[/name] [name]Adelaide[/name] even?
[name]Beatrice[/name] [name]Aurelia[/name]- I don’t love [name]Aurelia[/name], but [name]Beatrice[/name] is a keeper.
[name]Alice[/name] [name]Imogen[/name] nn. Lissy, [name]Elsie[/name]- Keep. [name]Lovely[/name] combination
[name]Edith[/name] [name]Genevieve[/name] nn. [name]Edie[/name]- I find these two a little heavy both together. [name]Edith[/name] with something fresher, I’d love. [name]Edie[/name] is such a sweet nickname, too
[name]Georgiana[/name] [name]Maeve[/name] nn. [name]Gig[/name], [name]Georgie[/name]- Unusual, striking! Keep
[name]Adelaide[/name] [name]Natalia[/name] nn. Lady, Dela- Not sure these two are quite right together. [name]Adelaide[/name] [name]Jude[/name], [name]Adelaide[/name] [name]Tess[/name]? [name]Adelaide[/name] [name]Isolde[/name]?
[name]Cornelia[/name] [name]Bronwen[/name] nn. [name]Cora[/name]- Really dislike both these two names, have to admit. [name]Bronwen[/name] especially just has a really unpleasant sound, to me. But I do like the nickname [name]Cora[/name]!
[name]Clara[/name] [name]Josephine[/name]- Perfect combo. I love this
[name]Louisa[/name] [name]Blythe[/name] nn. [name]Lou[/name], [name]Libby[/name], [name]Lola[/name]- I love the name [name]Blythe[/name], love the nickname [name]Libby[/name]…really dislike [name]Louisa[/name]. [name]Just[/name] find it both girlie and plain, somehow…

My favourites then: [name]Clara[/name] [name]Josephine[/name], [name]Alice[/name] [name]Imogen[/name], [name]Adelaide[/name], [name]Sybil[/name], [name]Edith[/name]

[aj_bear]

Thank you for all of your coments! I’ll be sure to take all of them to heart, and widdle down my top ten. I find it interesting that [name]Dorothea[/name] [name]Juliet[/name] is getting a lot of “Keeps.” Again, I’ll be sure to take all the coments to heart.
Keep the replies coming!

I would drop:

[name]Dorothea[/name]
[name]Sybil[/name]
[name]Edith[/name]
[name]Cornelia[/name]

[freyabeth]

[name]Dorothea[/name] [name]Juliet[/name] - This is really nice. Very pretty, food meaning, names go well together.
[name]Sybil[/name] [name]Briony[/name] - [name]Don[/name]'t like [name]Sybil[/name] it sounds really old. Like nn [name]Billie[/name] though. [name]Briony[/name] is nice but not my fave.
[name]Beatrice[/name] [name]Aurelia[/name] - Alright but prefer [name]Beatrix[/name]. [name]Aurelia[/name] is really pretty and feminine.
[name]Alice[/name] [name]Imogen[/name] - [name]Alice[/name] sounds old to me. Maybe use [name]Alyssa[/name]? [name]Imogen[/name] is lovely & one of my faces.
[name]Edith[/name] [name]Genevieve[/name] - Prefer [name]Eden[/name]. [name]Genevieve[/name] is really nice though.
[name]Georgiana[/name] [name]Maeve[/name] - Bit too much I think. [name]Georgia[/name] is enough. Really like [name]Maeve[/name].
[name]Adelaide[/name] [name]Natalia[/name] - [name]Love[/name] this both names are really nice. [name]Don[/name]'t like Lady as nn. I would use [name]Addie[/name] I think it sounds nicer.
[name]Cornelia[/name] [name]Bronwen[/name] - Really dislike [name]Cornelia[/name] but like nn [name]Cora[/name]. Browned nice.
[name]Clara[/name] [name]Josephine[/name] - Really nice both lovely names.
[name]Louisa[/name] [name]Blythe[/name] - [name]LOVE[/name] [name]Louisa[/name] one of my fave names & the name of someone close to me. [name]Blythe[/name] is nice too.

Keep - [name]Dorothea[/name] [name]Juliet[/name], [name]Adelaide[/name] [name]Natalia[/name], [name]Louisa[/name] [name]Blythe[/name], [name]Clara[/name] [name]Josephine[/name].

[Dearest]

I love so many of the names on your list, but often only one name from each combo. Exceptions are [name]Louisa[/name] [name]Blythe[/name] (my favourite of the ones listed), [name]Clara[/name] [name]Josephine[/name] and [name]Georgiana[/name] [name]Maeve[/name]. [name]Louisa[/name] and [name]Blythe[/name] are both favourites, [name]Clara[/name] as well, but [name]Josephine[/name] I only love for [name]Posy[/name], and you’re not using [name]Posy[/name] when she’s a middle name. [name]Maeve[/name] is lovely and even though I strongly dislike most [name]George[/name]-names (and many G and J names) [name]Georgiana[/name] is the one I like most. With the george-ee-ana pronunciation. I would keep these three.

I also love [name]Adelaide[/name] (love Lady for a nn, also [name]Adie[/name], [name]Della[/name] and [name]Leda[/name]), [name]Edith[/name], [name]Alice[/name] and [name]Briony[/name] (but prefer [name]Bryony[/name]). I’m neutral to [name]Dorothea[/name], I’m not sure I like it for myself, but I [name]LOVE[/name] that you do [name]Cornelia[/name] is okay, but I much prefer [name]Cora[/name].
[name]Sybil[/name], [name]Juliet[/name], [name]Imogen[/name], [name]Genevieve[/name], [name]Natalia[/name] and [name]Bronwen[/name] are nms at all. (notice the pattern of G’s and J’s in [name]Juliet[/name], [name]Imogen[/name] and [name]Genevieve[/name]? I’m just not very into that sound!). [name]Bronwen[/name] is too brawny, [name]Sybil[/name] is to blunt and spiky (yes, both), [name]Natalia[/name] is just a little dull. Switching out the names I don’t care much for I’d land on [name]Sylvie[/name], [name]Violeta[/name], Emerence, [name]Gardenia[/name]/Annevieve, [name]Anastasia[/name] and [name]Nolwenn[/name]. Looking through your combo’s again, the only real improvement is [name]Edith[/name] Annevieve or [name]Edith[/name] [name]Gardenia[/name].
Thinking some more I might do [name]Dorothea[/name] [name]Odette[/name] (nn [name]Dot[/name]), [name]Sabina[/name]/[name]Celia[/name] [name]Bryony[/name], [name]Alice[/name] [name]Imelda[/name]/Emeraud, [name]Adelaide[/name] [name]Magnolia[/name] and [name]Cornelia[/name] Elowen (or [name]Cecilia[/name] Elowen or Coppelia Elowen).
I see you have [name]Cecil[/name] on your boys list, so maybe [name]Celia[/name] or [name]Cecilia[/name] would be wrong for you. [name]Alistair[/name] and [name]Alice[/name] or [name]Dorothea[/name] and [name]Theodore[/name] are too close as well though, so maybe not?

And I just realised I haven’t mentioned [name]Beatrice[/name] [name]Aurelia[/name]. It’s very Nameberry. I’m a little bored with both names because of that, but it’s a wonderful combo of two classic names. Viatrix [name]Audra[/name] is more my style.

I have to mention that my style is more unusual than anything, and while there are some classics I love, many of the more elaborate ones don’t find favour with me. I love [name]Anna[/name] and [name]Catherine[/name], but [name]Charlotte[/name] and [name]Evangeline[/name] are just a little too much.
I guess what I mean to say is that most of your choices are solid, classic, great combos, and my liking and not liking some of the names is mostly based on my own little quirks (G’s and J’s, always the most unusual alternative, som classics are lovely, but not many of the frilly ones, trendy and overused names include nameberry favourites, etc)

[rachelxoxo]

I don’t like the nn [name]Billy[/name]. Other than that they weren’t too bad.

[cnk-tdcc]

From your list, there are only two I would actually use. They are:

[name]Dorothea[/name] [name]Juliet[/name] - Very pretty, and love the fact that it honours family! My favourite nn for it would be [name]Dottie[/name].
[name]Cornelia[/name] [name]Bronwen[/name] - [name]Love[/name] [name]Cornelia[/name]! And [name]Bronwen[/name] sounds very pretty paired with it. [name]Cora[/name]'s a nice, familiar nn, too.

[aj_bear]

Bump!

• [name]Athena[/name]

[sadlola]

I like/would keep:

[name]Dorothea[/name] [name]Juliet[/name] - [name]Love[/name] [name]Dorothea[/name], cute and refreshing name
[name]Beatrice[/name] [name]Aurelia[/name] - These are pretty together
[name]Alice[/name] [name]Imogen[/name] - I like this, though not as much as the others, the flow of the names isn’t so great
[name]Clara[/name] [name]Josephine[/name] - I like this too, though it’s a bit of a mouthful; lots of syllable’s, but it’s a pretty, classic combination.
[name]Louisa[/name] [name]Blythe[/name] - [name]Love[/name] this combo. This or [name]Dorothea[/name] is my favorite.

I’d drop:
[name]Edith[/name] [name]Genevieve[/name] - not a fan of [name]Edith[/name] (too old-lady for me) and I’m tired of [name]Genevieve[/name], I fee like it’s ab bit overdone
[name]Georgiana[/name] [name]Maeve[/name] - I like [name]Maeve[/name], but [name]Georgiana[/name] is too frilly for my tastes - I think [name]Clara[/name] [name]Maeve[/name] would be a pretty combination
[name]Adelaide[/name] [name]Natalia[/name] - these names don’t sound right together to me
[name]Cornelia[/name] [name]Bronwen[/name] - again, just don’t sound right to me, kind of harsh/masculine sounding I think.
[name]Sybil[/name] [name]Briony[/name] - I like [name]Sybil[/name], but not with [name]Briony[/name]. I think [name]Sybil[/name] [name]Maeve[/name] or [name]Sybil[/name] [name]Josephine[/name] would work.
