Help refining list + opinions?

Hello all, first off, I am just a name collector refining my list. That said, I am stuck on a few names that need a middle or a suiting first counterpart.

[name_f][/name_f]

I am a [name_f]Gen[/name_f] Z guy, so finding girl names I truly am passionate about/love has been a long journey as I have grown into young adulthood. Additionally, I am curious as to what others think of my picks and/or what my style would be. I think I have more of an old-fashioned taste when I compare my list to friends who have recently had children. [name_m]Other[/name_m] girl names I enjoy are [name_f]Apollonia[/name_f], [name_f]Daphne[/name_f], [name_f]Mabel[/name_f], [name_f]Hazel[/name_f], [name_f]Matilda[/name_f], [name_f]Marlow[/name_f], [name_f]Wilhelmina[/name_f], [name_f]Paloma[/name_f], [name_f]Acadia[/name_f], [name_f]Ombeline[/name_f], and [name_f]Octavia[/name_f], to name a handful.

I think you have great taste in names, it feels somewhat 19th century English literary-like to me, elegant but not stuffy, pretty and refined, unique but still real -not absurd or made up.

I like your names! Ursula is a long term fave of mine too!

How about:

Helen Ursula
Chloe Ursula
Phoebe Ursula
Mairèad Ursula
Imogen Ursula
Catherine Ursula
Mary Ursula

Violet Portia
Bryony Portia
Delphine Portia
Guinevere Portia
Evadne Portia
Nerine Portia
Jane Portia

Lenore Frances
Lenore Sabella
Lenore Seraphine
Lenore Estelle
Lenore Marceline
Lenore Tabitha
Lenore Anoushka
Lenore Evangeline

A few of these go marginally better with Leonor(e) if you’d consider changing - I prefer the regal Leonor(e) to Lenore. And some would sound better switched the other way.

Take or leave of course, but I might tweak your list too:

Magdalena Charlotte or Magdalena Lucy

Lydia Charlotte or Lydia Constance or Lydia Sloane (think Sloane a bit intense/low energy after the N heavy Rhiannon)

Irene Isabella or Irene Charlotte or Irene Violet

Zelda Rosaline or Zelda Rhiannon

Sloane Marigold (I like Thalia Marigold but just thinking of you want Sloane in front spot)

Thalia Genevieve or Thalia Guinevere or Thalia Gwyneth or Thalia Mabel

Those are all among some of my top favorites too. Here’s a link from Nameberry with more background on [name_f]Araminta[/name_f], I think all the qualities about it are pretty cool. It mentions at the end that only 11 people were named [name_f]Araminta[/name_f] in the US in the past year or two. [name_m]You[/name_m] had [name_f]Apollonia[/name_f] on your list as well and I happen to know one, who is absolutely darling and has so much character. It was a bit surprising when I first heard it but now I love it. [name_m]Like[/name_m] some of the others, they are daring but sophisticated [name_f][/name_f]- that’s what makes them all around cool.

Hi! fellow genz-er here struggling with names i truly deeply love.

Sorry that these aren’t specifically for those combos (I just woke up I apologize for my sluggish brain) but here’s some names i think you would like! I agree with an above berry that said you have a very literary style! I think you could also throw mythology into that mix with a few of your names.

Selma
Ophélie
Melisande
Talitha
Leontine
Ondine
Rosamund
Hildegard
Hilde
Hettie
Henrietta
Philippa
Lois
Ingrid
Gwendolyn
Marilla
Miriam
Jeanette
Sybil / Sybilla
Liesel
Margaret
Marguerite
Francisca
Viola
Leonie
Bellamy

Hope you like some of these!! May come back with more!
