We’ve managed to bring the number of first names on our list down to three for each gender, I think… I’d like your opinions on each of the names, and your help with settling down on a few combo’s.
For a girl, we have:
[name_f]Greta[/name_f]
[name_f]Lavinia[/name_f]
[name_f]Magdalene[/name_f] (probably with nickname [name_f]Nell[/name_f], or is that too much of a stretch?)
For a boy, we now have:
[name_m]Vincent[/name_m] (this one is honoring)
[name_u]Ellis[/name_u]
[name_m]Magnus[/name_m]
For the middle names, we’ve got a list of honor names or names with a special meaning
[name_f]Emilia[/name_f]
Rós
Nineveh
[name_f]Rivkah[/name_f]
[name_f]Martha[/name_f]
Elishva
[name_f]Karolina[/name_f]
[name_m]Johann[/name_m] / [name_m]Johannes[/name_m]
Addai
[name_m]Yosef[/name_m]
[name_m]Abraham[/name_m] (SO’s first name)
Arnaldur
[name_m]Egon[/name_m]
[name_m]Ulysses[/name_m]
So what do you think of each of the first names on our list? What combo’s would you make with the middle names?
[name_m]Hi[/name_m] there.
Here are my thoughts on your lists:
[name_f]Greta[/name_f]-I love it! It’s on my short list too. It’s feminine, yet simple and not overly frilly. [name_f]Greta[/name_f] [name_f]Emilia[/name_f] is beautiful.
[name_f]Lavinia[/name_f]- This is nice. It’s not my personal favorite, but it’s certainly more unique than [name_f]Greta[/name_f]. However, it’s not overly complicated either. That’s always a nice plus in an unique name. The nn [name_f]Vivie[/name_f] would be sweet, if you’re into that. [name_f]Lavinia[/name_f] [name_f]Ros[/name_f] or [name_f]Lavinia[/name_f] Elishva flow nicely.
[name_f]Magdalene[/name_f]-I don’t love this one, but it’s fine. It’s different. I like [name_f]Magdalena[/name_f] better. [name_f]Nell[/name_f] is sort of a stretch, but I think it works. It definitely has a strong biblical connection. [name_f]Magdalene[/name_f] [name_f]Rivkah[/name_f] is my favorite combination.
[name_m]Vincent[/name_m]-This is nice. A strong classic, but rarely heard on little guys these days. All of the nicknames sound a bit mobster though, in my opinion. [name_m]Vincent[/name_m] [name_m]Abraham[/name_m] is handsome.
[name_u]Ellis[/name_u]-I like it a lot for a boy, but it is sort of unisex. [name_f]Ellie[/name_f] names in general are certainly common for girls, so it may get lost in the sea of those. It sounds a little weak next to the strong Hjotur. [name_u]Ellis[/name_u] [name_m]Johann[/name_m] is [name_u]Ellis[/name_u] [name_m]Abraham[/name_m] are nice.
[name_m]Magnus[/name_m]-I love this one. It’s definitely my favorite from your list. It’s strong yet charming. It’s simple, but not over done. [name_m]Magnus[/name_m] Addai sounds good to me.
[name_f]Hope[/name_f] this helps. 
My favorites are [name_m]Vincent[/name_m] [name_m]Johannes[/name_m], [name_m]Vincent[/name_m] Addai, and [name_f]Magdalene[/name_f] Rós.
[name_f]Greta[/name_f] [name_f]Karolina[/name_f]

[name_f]Magdalene[/name_f] is nice because it has some great nickname potential. Other nickname I really like from [name_f]Magdalene[/name_f] is [name_m]Lenny[/name_m].

[name_f]Greta[/name_f]- This is absolutely adorable. I think it might be a little more popular thank your son’s name, but they really do work together. [name_f]Greta[/name_f] is tailored and spunky, and it has a lovely strength to it. [name_f]Greta[/name_f] [name_f]Emilia[/name_f] and [name_f]Greta[/name_f] Elishva are great combos.
[name_f]Lavinia[/name_f]- For my personal style, this is my favorite on your list. It’s unique, bright, and classy, and I’d call it classic. [name_f]Lavinia[/name_f] Rós is a wonderful combo, as are [name_f]Lavinia[/name_f] [name_f]Karolina[/name_f] and [name_f]Lavinia[/name_f] Nineveh.
[name_f]Magdalene[/name_f]- I think this is my favorite for you. It fits perfectly with the unique, strong vibe of many of your top choices, as well as your son’s name. I think it makes a GREAT pairing with any middle on your list except [name_f]Martha[/name_f].
