📝 Hazel needs a helping hand!

[snowmaiden]

I’m excited to see that there are so many calls for help with people’s lists right now, because my girls names are in shambles at the minute!

Right now, I have a top 2 list. I’ve got a ton I like, but I don’t know which go together, which I like together, what middles I want to use… so, why not as for some fun help?

The two on my definite favorites list are Josephine and Florence. I’ve loved them for years, and I don’t see them leaving my list! They’re literary and light, smart and sprightly. Plus, their nickname potentials are through the roof! (I’m a huge funky-nickname person, so this is a plus for me.) But… it doesn’t help that they aren’t clicking with any middles for me lately!

But then… what to do for the rest of the list?

Here are my current favorite girl names, organized into a first list and a middle list. I prefer to use only honor names for middles, which is why I’ve separated them out. There is some overlap between the two categories, but not a significant amount!

FIRSTS

Josephine
Florence
Jane
Felicity
Tuesday
Elizabeth
Alice
Susannah ‘Nan’
Elspeth
Sybil ‘Billie’
Beulah
Belle
Vision
Clementine
Ruthie
Olsen
Wilhelmina ‘Willa’
Heidi
Maude
Saoirse ‘Sasha’ and/or the similar Sorsha ‘Sosie’
Louisa ‘Lucy’
Greer
Adah
Annelise ‘Nan’
Elora
Primrose ‘Posy’ and/or Rose ‘Rosy’
Helen
Flannery ‘Fanny’
Benedicte ‘Betty’
Sarah-Margaret (A fave, but also a stand-in for others like her. Alice-Rose, Ella-May, Frances-Katherine… Who do they fit with from my lists? Double-barrels are huge faves of mine but never seem to ‘go’!)

MIDDLES

Alice
Luella
May
Louisa and/or Louise and/or Lou
Robin
Zoe
Margot
Olive and Liv
Elizabeth (and any variation of her!)
Scarlett
Christmas (or some sort of related name, like Eve, Mary, Clove, Adah, etc.)
Mercy
Katherine
Violet
Curtis
March
Opal
Marnie
Clove
Locksley
Willow
Belle
Flower
Pleasance
Joycie
Marvel
Bay

CURRENT COMBOS

Elspeth Olive (loving)
Josephine Scarlett (liking)
Florence Margot (liking)
Susannah Clove (loving)
Esther Robin (not sold)

So…

1. Any combo ideas? (I’m open to 1 or 2 middles!)
2. Any names you’d add to my list?
3. Any that stand out as good matches for sisters?
4. Anything from my Listography (linked here) that you’d say has a home on my list?

Please feel free to answer as few or as many questions as you’d like to/as you can, as well as sharing any of your own insights that you’d like to! I look very forward to reading your replies. I really need some help with this darn list of ladies.

[Harvest-Endellion]

I like [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] [name_f]Louisa[/name_f] or [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] [name_u]Louise[/name_u]. [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] [name_u]March[/name_u] and [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] [name_f]Mercy[/name_f] too.

[name_u]Florence[/name_u] [name_f]Alice[/name_f], [name_u]Florence[/name_u] [name_f]Violet[/name_f], [name_u]Florence[/name_u] [name_f]Opal[/name_f] are all lovely!

@Harvest-Endellion

Josephine March

Not too Alcottian?

@Harvest-Endellion

Florence Alice, Florence Violet, Florence Opal are all lovely!

These are lovely. I know a little Florence Violet myself… I don’t know how I haven’t considered that for my own list before. That’s speaking to me in a special light today.

Thank you for your reply!

[Harvest-Endellion]

Never too Alcottian!

People are choosing some terrible names for their children and all your names are lovely. You could almost draw out of a hat and have them work!

[name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] [name_f]May[/name_f]
[name_f]Susannah[/name_f] (your [name_f]Susannah[/name_f] [name_u]Clove[/name_u] is perfection!)

[Larryisalittledog]

I must start by saying I adore Elspeth Olive, Josephine Scarlett, and Florence Margot.
For some combos, I’d suggest…
Felicity Pleasance
Josephine Willow Eve
Florence Luella (I believe this is one of your former combos, and I adore her.)
Elizabeth Marvel
Susannah Curtis May
Beulah Scarlett
Vision Elizabeth Opal
Maude Christmas
Louisa Mercy Belle
Flannery Margot
Rose Luella March
Benedicte Opal

For some names that I’d add, I’ll say Dorothea, Atticus, Enid, Wednesday, Imogene, and Clara.

I’ve always loved Josephine and Florence as sisters. I also enjoy…
Flannery and Benedicte
Felicity and Susannah
Maude, Greer, and Jane
Annelise, Sarah-Margaret, and Wilhelmina
Vision, Tuesday, Primrose, and Clementine

From your Listography, I’d add Amybeth (this would go great with your double barreled names), Anne, Bernadette, Dorothea (I didn’t realize this was on your list when I listed it above, but I love it for you), Harriet, and Royce (I love this sassy name for you).

[tori101]

[name_f]Josephine[/name_f] & [name_u]Florence[/name_u] are lovely

I love the idea of [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] [name_u]Christmas[/name_u] I genuinely love the name [name_u]Christmas[/name_u]! [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] [name_u]Christmas[/name_u] is dreamy
