[name_m]Hi[/name_m] everyone! I am new here and was wondering if you ladies could help us narrow down our list.

Combos -
[name_u]Everly[/name_u] [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f]
[name_f]Delilah[/name_f] [name_f]Eve[/name_f] (I know it’s not [name_f]Eva[/name_f] but it sounds better)
[name_f]Gemma[/name_f] [name_f]Isabel[/name_f]

[name_f]Scarlett[/name_f], [name_f]Delilah[/name_f], [name_f]Corinne[/name_f], [name_u]Eden[/name_u] and [name_f]Maisie[/name_f] are all lovely you can’t go wrong with any of them.
YES’s:
[name_u]Eden[/name_u] - I love [name_u]Eden[/name_u] [name_m]Jones[/name_m] - it really spices up the “[name_m]Jones[/name_m]” surname and not overly popular. I’m not normally a fan of [name_u]Eden[/name_u], but this sounds great!
[name_f]Eva[/name_f]
[name_u]Hadley[/name_u] - [name_u]Hadley[/name_u] [name_m]Jones[/name_m] is very nice. Much more serious than [name_u]Eden[/name_u], but still sweet.
[name_f]Leda[/name_f] - I love the sound of [name_f]Leda[/name_f] [name_m]Jones[/name_m]. [name_f]May[/name_f] be mispronounced on a regular basis: [name_u]Lee[/name_u]-da or [name_m]Lay[/name_m]-da?
[name_f]Maeva[/name_f] (prefer this to [name_f]Maeve[/name_f], plus it’s a lot less common) - Nickname could be [name_f]Eva[/name_f], combining 2 on your list
[name_f]Sienna[/name_f] - I love [name_f]Sienna[/name_f] [name_m]Jones[/name_m], more fun than [name_u]Eden[/name_u] and [name_u]Hadley[/name_u] but sounds just as nice.
Maybe’s:
[name_f]Corinne[/name_f]
[name_f]Isabel[/name_f] - [name_f]Isabel[/name_f] [name_m]Jones[/name_m] is likely a very common name. I prefer others on your list.
[name_f]Violet[/name_f]
[name_u]Sage[/name_u] - I’m not normally a fan of [name_u]Sage[/name_u], but [name_u]Sage[/name_u] [name_m]Jones[/name_m] sounds nice.
[name_f]Maisie[/name_f] - I like [name_f]Maisie[/name_f] [name_m]Jones[/name_m], but not my favorite based on others on your list.
[name_u]Everly[/name_u] - I prefer [name_u]Eden[/name_u]/[name_f]Eva[/name_f]
No’s:
[name_u]Ainsley[/name_u]
[name_f]Aurelia[/name_f]
[name_f]Cora[/name_f] - [name_f]Cora[/name_f] [name_m]Jones[/name_m] sounds like [name_f]Nora[/name_f] [name_m]Jones[/name_m] (singer)
[name_f]Delilah[/name_f]
[name_f]Gemma[/name_f] - I’m not a fan of alliteration with the “J” sound
[name_f]Scarlett[/name_f] - My association would be [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f] Johanssen.
[name_u]Love[/name_u]:
[name_f]Delilah[/name_f] [name_m]Jones[/name_m] – Really sweet with plenty of nicknames to choose from
[name_u]Eden[/name_u] [name_m]Jones[/name_m] – Agree with previous comment. Not normally my style, but it really works with your last name.
Sounds okay, but not my first pick:
[name_f]Corinne[/name_f] [name_m]Jones[/name_m] – I love [name_f]Corinne[/name_f] in general though!
[name_f]Isabel[/name_f] [name_m]Jones[/name_m] – Agree that this is a popular combo, but it does work.
[name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_m]Jones[/name_m]
Doesn’t sound right to me:
[name_u]Ainsley[/name_u] [name_m]Jones[/name_m]
[name_f]Aurelia[/name_f] [name_m]Jones[/name_m]
[name_f]Cora[/name_f] [name_m]Jones[/name_m]
[name_f]Eva[/name_f] [name_m]Jones[/name_m]
[name_u]Everly[/name_u] [name_m]Jones[/name_m]
[name_f]Gemma[/name_f] [name_m]Jones[/name_m] – Same sound
[name_u]Hadley[/name_u] [name_m]Jones[/name_m]
[name_f]Leda[/name_f] [name_m]Jones[/name_m]
[name_f]Maeva[/name_f] [name_m]Jones[/name_m]
[name_f]Maisie[/name_f] [name_m]Jones[/name_m] – Pretty, but the s sounds throw me off
[name_u]Sage[/name_u] [name_m]Jones[/name_m] – I’d stay away from names with S in them
[name_f]Scarlett[/name_f] [name_m]Jones[/name_m]
[name_f]Sienna[/name_f] [name_m]Jones[/name_m]
[name_u]Ainsley[/name_u] - I despise this name
[name_f]Aurelia[/name_f] - pretty
[name_f]Cora[/name_f] - om
[name_f]Corinne[/name_f] - ok
[name_f]Delilah[/name_f] - love
[name_u]Eden[/name_u] - like
[name_f]Eva[/name_f] - like
[name_u]Everly[/name_u] - ok
[name_f]Gemma[/name_f] - ok
[name_u]Hadley[/name_u] - do not like
[name_f]Isabel[/name_f] - too popular
[name_f]Leda[/name_f] - like
[name_f]Maeva[/name_f] - do not like
[name_f]Maisie[/name_f] - like
[name_u]Sage[/name_u] - love
[name_f]Scarlett[/name_f] - too popular
[name_f]Sienna[/name_f] - like
[name_f]Violet[/name_f] - like
The standout name from your list for me is [name_f]Maeva[/name_f], its pretty, unusual and has that vintage cute feel to it. It’s a lovely unique but recognisable name to go with a common surname like [name_m]Jones[/name_m] ([name_f]Maeva[/name_f] [name_m]Jones[/name_m] is very cute!) and I love nn’s [name_f]Mae[/name_f] and [name_f]Maeve[/name_f].
I also love [name_f]Violet[/name_f] (elegant and pretty), [name_f]Aurelia[/name_f] (lovely and has cute nn [name_f]Aura[/name_f]) and [name_f]Eva[/name_f] (beautiful).
[name_f]Maisie[/name_f] is very cute (I adore the combo [name_f]Maisie[/name_f] [name_f]Corinne[/name_f]!) and [name_f]Cora[/name_f] is nice too.
I’m not a fan of [name_u]Ainsley[/name_u], [name_u]Hadley[/name_u], [name_u]Sage[/name_u], [name_u]Eden[/name_u] (I do adore [name_f]Edith[/name_f] and [name_f]Edie[/name_f] though) or [name_u]Everly[/name_u], I find them too unisex or trendy and you have much more interesting and beautiful names on your list. I can see them as middles though; [name_f]Maeva[/name_f] [name_u]Eden[/name_u], [name_f]Maeva[/name_f] [name_u]Hadley[/name_u], [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_u]Everly[/name_u], [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_u]Hadley[/name_u], [name_f]Aurelia[/name_f] [name_u]Sage[/name_u], [name_f]Aurelia[/name_f] [name_u]Eden[/name_u], [name_f]Eva[/name_f] [name_u]Hadley[/name_u], [name_f]Eva[/name_f] [name_u]Sage[/name_u]…
I’d personally also rule out [name_f]Isabel[/name_f] - though pretty she’d be one of many, especially with [name_m]Jones[/name_m] being such a common surname and if [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] is too common then [name_f]Isabel[/name_f] definitely is. Maybe as a middle?
I’m pretty neutral on the others, they’re either nms ([name_f]Delilah[/name_f], [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f], [name_f]Leda[/name_f]) or I think you have much more interesting/pretty name on your list ([name_f]Gemma[/name_f], [name_f]Sienna[/name_f]).

Thank you ladies for all of your inputs! We have nixed [name_f]Isabel[/name_f] so far, I do agree it’s a common first name with a common last name. [name_m]Just[/name_m] have always loved it! @kpaps925 I’ve only heard [name_f]Leda[/name_f] pronounced as lee-da but lay-da is pretty too. Definitely don’t want something confusing so that might rule it out!
[name_f]Aurelia[/name_f], [name_f]Cora[/name_f], [name_f]Delilah[/name_f], [name_f]Gemma[/name_f], [name_f]Isabel[/name_f], [name_f]Maisie[/name_f], [name_u]Sage[/name_u], [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f], [name_f]Sienna[/name_f] and [name_f]Violet[/name_f] are my favorites. I like [name_f]Maisie[/name_f] the most.
