What do you think of these names, separately and as combinations?
[name]Romy[/name] [name]Saskia[/name] - [name]LOVE[/name] [name]Saskia[/name], and I think it works well with [name]Romy[/name]. I would prefer something fuller, like [name]Romilly[/name] [name]Saskia[/name], though.
[name]Nell[/name] [name]Isadora[/name] - while [name]Nell[/name] is a bit nicknamey, I love this! It just works.
[name]Bettina[/name] [name]Hazel[/name] - don’t love [name]Bettina[/name], or [name]Betty[/name], but I adore [name]Hazel[/name] as a MN and it does really work!
[name]Tabitha[/name] [name]Constance[/name] - [name]LOVE[/name] [name]Tabitha[/name], and I think [name]Betsy[/name] is adorable for it. [name]Constance[/name] is okay, but not really my favorite.
[name]Flora[/name] [name]Beatrix[/name] - just… perfection. I love it.
[name]Saskia[/name] [name]Romilly[/name] - love this, too, although I prefer [name]Romilly[/name] [name]Saskia[/name].
[name]Coraline[/name] [name]Agnes[/name] - I love [name]Cora[/name], and [name]Agnes[/name], but I’m not crazy about [name]Coraline[/name]. [name]Agnes[/name] [name]Coralie[/name] would be adorable, though!
[name]Agnes[/name] [name]Beatrix[/name] - [name]Agnes[/name]!!! I absolutely love it. I’ve considered it for a FN, but I eventually nixed it as it doesn’t really go with my favorites at all. I do love it, though! [name]Agnes[/name] [name]Beatrix[/name] is perfect. I think I actually prefer it to my combo, which had been [name]Agnes[/name] [name]Violet[/name]!
[name]Opal[/name] [name]Imogen[/name] - love both names, and they work well together.
[name]Agnes[/name] [name]Beatrix[/name], [name]Flora[/name] [name]Beatrix[/name], [name]Opal[/name] [name]Imogen[/name], and [name]Romilly[/name] [name]Saskia[/name] are my favorites!
Good luck!
[name]Romy[/name] [name]Saskia[/name]- Eh. I think [name]Romy[/name] [name]Saskia[/name] just sounds… off.
[name]Nell[/name] [name]Isadora[/name]- Gorgeous! Vintage and sweet. I love this.
[name]Bettina[/name] ([name]Betty[/name]) [name]Hazel[/name]- Very cute.
[name]Tabitha[/name] ([name]Betsy[/name]) [name]Constance[/name]- I think [name]Betsy[/name] is a bit of a stretch, but otherwise it’s fine.
[name]Flora[/name] [name]Beatrix[/name]- Okay. I think [name]Beatrice[/name] would be better with [name]Flora[/name], which I adore.
[name]Saskia[/name] [name]Romilly[/name]- Better than [name]Romy[/name] [name]Saskia[/name]!
[name]Coraline[/name] [name]Agnes[/name]- [name]Coraline[/name] is very blah. [name]Coralie[/name] [name]Agnes[/name], however, is a winner.
[name]Agnes[/name] [name]Beatrix[/name]- I think the endings are a touch too similar-sounding. It’s awkward to say.
[name]Opal[/name] [name]Imogen[/name]- Nice, but not the best on your list.
Favorites: [name]Nell[/name] [name]Isadora[/name] and [name]Bettina[/name] [name]Hazel[/name].
[name]Romy[/name] [name]Saskia[/name] – I like the names separately, but together they don’t work for me. [name]LOVE[/name] [name]Saskia[/name] though
[name]Nell[/name] [name]Isadora[/name] – [name]Love[/name] both names but the flow would be better as [name]Isadora[/name] [name]Nell[/name] (or [name]Nelle[/name])
[name]Bettina[/name] ([name]Betty[/name]) [name]Hazel[/name] – dislike [name]Hazel[/name] and I have a rally sleazy cousin named [name]Hazel[/name] who ruined it, but I sort of like [name]Bettina[/name]
[name]Tabitha[/name] ([name]Betsy[/name]) [name]Constance[/name] – Hate this…sorry. I’ve never met a good [name]Tabitha[/name]. All the ones I know are sluts and drug addicts who abuse their kids… [name]Constance[/name] is just okay
[name]Flora[/name] [name]Beatrix[/name] – I think the flow would be better as [name]Beatrix[/name] [name]Flora[/name] but I [name]LOVE[/name] this one. so pretty and quirky
[name]Saskia[/name] [name]Romilly[/name] – I like this much better than [name]Romy[/name] [name]Saskia[/name]. [name]Romilly[/name] [name]Saskia[/name] nn [name]Romy[/name] would be great too! [name]Love[/name] this one
[name]Coraline[/name] [name]Agnes[/name] – [name]LOVE[/name] [name]Coraline[/name]! I had it on my list for a while and [name]Neil[/name] Gaiman is one of my favorite authors so the connection to him is great…[name]Agnes[/name] is just ugly to me
[name]Agnes[/name] [name]Beatrix[/name] – same deal with [name]Agnes[/name], [name]LOVE[/name] [name]Beatrix[/name]
[name]Opal[/name] [name]Imogen[/name]/e – dislike [name]Opal[/name], seems so old but I love [name]Imogen[/name]. It’s pronounced differently with the e at the end though – imogen=im-oh-gen and [name]Imogene[/name] = im-oh-jeen. I prefer [name]Imogen[/name] and I love the nn Idgie (like [name]Fried[/name] [name]Green[/name] Tomatoes)
[name]Nell[/name] [name]Isadora[/name] is my vote.
[name]Opal[/name] [name]Imogen[/name] is my favorite. It flows beautifully and I love both names.
[name]Romy[/name] [name]Saskia[/name] - [name]Romy[/name] sounds unbalanced in this combo, [name]Rosemary[/name] [name]Saskia[/name] would flow better, or [name]Andromeda[/name] NN [name]Romy[/name]. I am not the biggest fan of [name]Saskia[/name] anyway, but it needs a longer first than [name]Romy[/name].
[name]Nell[/name] [name]Isadora[/name] - Not a fan sorry.
[name]Bettina[/name] ([name]Betty[/name]) [name]Hazel[/name] - [name]Bettina[/name] always seems contrived to me, compared to [name]Elizabeth[/name], but this is pretty nice.
[name]Tabitha[/name] ([name]Betsy[/name]) [name]Constance[/name] - Well, [name]Tabby[/name] seems like it’d be more natural than [name]Betsy[/name] (of all things) but [name]Tabitha[/name] [name]Constance[/name] works.
[name]Flora[/name] [name]Beatrix[/name] - [name]Love[/name]. [name]Love[/name]. [name]Love[/name].
[name]Saskia[/name] [name]Romilly[/name] - This works better than [name]Romy[/name] [name]Saskia[/name]. It works as a pairing. I can’t say I like either name. It flows though.
[name]Coraline[/name] [name]Agnes[/name] - Interesting, but not pretty? If that makes sense.
[name]Agnes[/name] [name]Beatrix[/name] - Like this.
[name]Opal[/name] [name]Imogen[/name]/e - love this. A lot.
[name]Opal[/name] [name]Imogen[/name] (not [name]Imogene[/name]!) and [name]Flora[/name] [name]Beatrix[/name] are my easy picks for favourites. [name]Tabitha[/name] [name]Constance[/name] is an interesting one though I was actually thinking [name]Hazel[/name] works with [name]Tabitha[/name] as well.
[name]Romy[/name] [name]Saskia[/name]- [name]Rosemary[/name]/[name]Rosemarie[/name] would be nice with [name]Saskia[/name], with the nickname [name]Romy[/name]. [name]Romy[/name] seems too short to go solo.
[name]Nell[/name] [name]Isadora[/name]- I prefer [name]Izadora[/name] [name]Nell[/name]
[name]Bettina[/name] ([name]Betty[/name]) [name]Hazel[/name]- I love [name]Bettina[/name]! It goes really well with [name]Hazel[/name]!
[name]Tabitha[/name] ([name]Betsy[/name]) [name]Constance[/name]- I don’t care for either of the names, and I’m not sure how [name]Betsy[/name] is a nickname for [name]Tabitha[/name].
[name]Flora[/name] [name]Beatrix[/name]- So pretty!
[name]Saskia[/name] [name]Romilly[/name]- Flow is good, I just don’t like the two together.
[name]Coraline[/name] [name]Agnes[/name]- Cute, but I don’t care for [name]Coraline[/name].
[name]Agnes[/name] [name]Beatrix[/name]- I like this! [name]Beatrix[/name] is still vintage, but punches up [name]Agnes[/name].
[name]Opal[/name] [name]Imogen[/name]/e- Cute! I prefer [name]Imogen[/name] over [name]Imogene[/name].
[name]Hope[/name] that helps!
Thanks- this all helps. Seems there’s a consensus that [name]Romy[/name] isn’t enough as a full name which has settled my oscillating mind on this! [name]Romilly[/name] nickname [name]Romy[/name] I love anyway…
[name]Coraline[/name] is really not my favourite, and I think I might strike that one off. My partner is decidedly neutral on [name]Coraline[/name] and it seems a bit of a compromise on [name]Coralie[/name] (which was my true love but he finds ‘difficult to say’)
My favourites at the moment are [name]Nell[/name] [name]Isadora[/name] (like the suggestion of [name]Nelle[/name] a lot, thank you!) [name]Flora[/name] [name]Beatrix[/name] and [name]Romilly[/name] [name]Saskia[/name].
Have slight slight qualms about all, which are the only reasons I’m hesitating. [name]Love[/name] the sound, feel, look of all, but the issues are:
[name]Flora[/name]- [name]Florence[/name] is extremely popular here and I’m not sure if [name]Flora[/name] would be a little close?
[name]Nell[/name]/[name]Nelle[/name]- The ‘is this enough name?’ question.
[name]Romilly[/name] ([name]Romy[/name])- Am not sure how [name]Romilly[/name], which I’ve heard described as ‘modern’ fits with my other kids’ names
I still adore [name]Betty[/name]/[name]Betsy[/name] as nicknames, but am not sold on any of the full names which lead to the nicknames. Neither is enough of a name to use on its own, for me. Think I might have to just let these two rest, unused…
Thanks for the help- Any more advice/opinion welcome. Which of these names would make most of an impression? Which do you think is the least striking/appealing?
[name]Flora[/name] [name]Beatrix[/name] is perfection.
I also love [name]Saskia[/name] [name]Romilly[/name], [name]Tabitha[/name] [name]Constance[/name] (I [name]LOVE[/name] your NN idea!), and [name]Bettina[/name] [name]Hazel[/name].
