[name]Beatrix[/name] [name]Flora[/name] and [name]Matilda[/name] [name]Elowen[/name] are the two that stand out to me. [name]Beatrix[/name] [name]Flora[/name] is a great mix of spunky, feminine, and sweet, whereas [name]Matilda[/name] [name]Elowen[/name] is a lovely balance of old and new, serious and light-hearted.

[name]Beatrix[/name] [name]Flora[/name]: This is whimsical and charming, and would be playful on a child while being dignified on an adult.

[name]Beatrice[/name] [name]Flora[/name]: To me this is the “formal, refined” version of [name]Beatrix[/name], and loses the fun.

[name]Saoirse[/name] [name]Elowen[/name]: I have no idea how to say that. I’m sure I wouldn’t be the only one who would struggle with this name.

[name]Felicity[/name] [name]Louisa[/name]: Great choice. [name]Felicity[/name] is so light and happy and sunny, while [name]Louisa[/name] is somber and antiquated, but they sound nice together.

[name]Matilda[/name] [name]Elowen[/name]: I like [name]Matilda[/name] [name]Louisa[/name] better.

[name]Matilda[/name] [name]Louisa[/name]: Adorable. I’d love to see a little [name]Matilda[/name].

My favorite combos on your list: [name]Beatrix[/name] [name]Flora[/name] and [name]Matilda[/name] [name]Louisa[/name]. Good luck!

As far as combos go, [name]Beatrix[/name] [name]Flora[/name] is by far my favorite. However, [name]Felicity[/name] is by far my favorite name from your list in general, so [name]Felicity[/name] [name]Louisa[/name] gets my vote. I think a little [name]Felicity[/name] [name]Lou[/name] would be so adorable.

I’ve heard of [name]Lissie[/name] as a nickname for [name]Felicity[/name], and you could call her [name]Lissie[/name] [name]Lou[/name]!

[name]Beatrix[/name] [name]Flora[/name], [name]Beatrice[/name] [name]Flora[/name] and [name]Matilda[/name] [name]Elowen[/name] are lovely combos. I like the mix of vintage and whimsy.

[name]Beatrix[/name] [name]Flora[/name] and [name]Felicity[/name] [name]Louisa[/name] are my favorites - I see them as strong, spunky, and sweet all at once!

misshoppy · March 18, 2013, 5:08pm

I love [name]Felicity[/name] [name]Louisa[/name]! Two of my favorite names…and a great pairing.

larkub101 · March 18, 2013, 5:09pm

[name]Beatrix[/name] [name]Flora[/name] is great! It’s my fave from your list

I adore [name]Saoirse[/name] [name]Elowen[/name]. Depending on where you live, it could make a lovely name. Yes, there would be a lot of mispronounciations in [name]America[/name], but in [name]Ireland[/name] of [name]England[/name], it would make a lovely choice. I love the meaning, the sound, just beautiful. If you live in an area where Irish names are less common and the pronunciations might come as a challenge, I would go with [name]Felicity[/name] [name]Louisa[/name].

Sunshine.10 · March 18, 2013, 5:46pm

[name]Matilda[/name] [name]Elowen[/name] is very lovely and unexpected!

nkethdy · March 18, 2013, 5:54pm

[name]Saoirse[/name] [name]Elowen[/name]: [name]Love[/name] [name]Saoirse[/name]! This combo works perfectly. This is my favorite from your list.
[name]Beatrix[/name] [name]Flora[/name] over [name]Beatrice[/name] [name]Flora[/name]: I find that the “x” in the name adds a little flare. I also love the nn [name]Trixie[/name] (which could actually work for [name]Beatrix[/name] or [name]Beatrice[/name]).
[name]Matilda[/name] [name]Elowen[/name] over [name]Matilda[/name] [name]Louisa[/name]: Not fond of how [name]Matilda[/name] and [name]Louisa[/name] have the same “a” ending.
[name]Felicity[/name] [name]Louisa[/name]: Not a fan of the name [name]Felicity[/name].

katieramsey16 · March 18, 2013, 6:00pm

[name]Beatrix[/name] [name]Flora[/name] or [name]Felicity[/name] [name]Louisa[/name] are my two faves of your choices.

flamingo · March 18, 2013, 6:14pm

I’d reverse [name]Matilda[/name] [name]Elowen[/name] and make it [name]Elowen[/name] [name]Matilda[/name] for my favorite of the bunch.
