So, after sitting and namenerding with my husband, I have a drastically shorter list As he put it, we have “vastly different” naming styles. He tends to lean more towards classic/Victorian/established/creepy names. But still not super normal. So, here’s what made the cut from my name lists:
His favorites are [name_f]Andromeda[/name_f] and [name_f]Octavia[/name_f]. Starred are ones he particularly liked.

So, I’m sort of at a loss. Most of my favorite names got cut, and most of what’s left I’m not in love with (on the boys list, anyway). It’s important to me to have a stylistic theme with all of the names, him not so much.
[name_f]Veridian[/name_f] [name_f]Elora[/name_f] [name_f]Luna[/name_f] is set in stone and getting used, so no changing or repeating of those names
[name_f]Andromeda[/name_f] [name_f]Elysande[/name_f] I adore! Up to hear a 2nd middle for that combo, or a different set of middles altogether.
[name_m]Ulysses[/name_m] Caladan [name_u]Quinn[/name_u] is set in stone, no changing or repeating
[name_m]Cyrus[/name_m] [name_m]Gideon[/name_m] I like, has a nice ring, open to a 2nd middle or rearranging.
[name_u]Zephyr[/name_u] has been a favorite for [name_m]LONG[/name_m] time, I would love to see it used. Husband said he would consider it for a boy (probably in a middle spot).
Please, please help with any combo suggestions or name suggestions. Thank you!!
