I really love [name_u]Auden[/name_u] [name_m]Benjamin[/name_m]! I lovelovelove [name_m]Asher[/name_m], but [name_m]Asher[/name_m] [name_m]Benjamin[/name_m] almost sounds like a string of [name_m]Jacob[/name_m]'s son’s names from the Bible. Still a lovely name, though, but [name_u]Auden[/name_u] [name_m]Benjamin[/name_m] seems a bit more interesting to me. And I love the literary [name_u]Auden[/name_u]! But if [name_m]Asher[/name_m] had a different middle, I would be so tempted to vote for him instead. :slight_smile: I’m not keen about [name_m]Asher[/name_m] [name_u]Auden[/name_u] or [name_u]Auden[/name_u] [name_m]Asher[/name_m]–it just doesn’t sound quite right to me, for some reason.

Good luck!

[name_m]Asher[/name_m]
[name_m]Benjamin[/name_m] is my favourite of your list. The name [name_u]Auden[/name_u] just isn’t my style and doesn’t appeal to me very much.

[name_m]Asher[/name_m] [name_m]Benjamin[/name_m]
[name_m]Asher[/name_m] [name_m]Bennett[/name_m]
[name_u]Auden[/name_u] [name_u]Spencer[/name_u]

The best on your list, plus two more…

[name_m]Asher[/name_m] [name_m]Benjamin[/name_m]: I like this combination. It has the edgier ‘[name_m]Asher[/name_m]’ with the timeless ‘[name_m]Benjamin[/name_m]’. [name_u]Ash[/name_u] is a cute nickname as well.

[name_u]Auden[/name_u] [name_m]Benjamin[/name_m]: When I hear [name_u]Auden[/name_u], I think “Oh, you mean [name_f]Autumn[/name_f]”. I feel like you would run into that quite often with that name. And because it’s a unisex name, people can be easily mistaken. With the -n sound on both the first and middle name, the name doesn’t sound to appealing. [name_u]Auden[/name_u] isn’t really my style anyway, but if it were paired with [name_u]James[/name_u], [name_m]Joseph[/name_m], or [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] or something else, I think I’d like it a bit more.

[name_m]Asher[/name_m] [name_u]Auden[/name_u]: The alliteration of this name makes me not like it. The flow is okay despite them having the same syllables. I feel as though I’m not looking at a first and middle name, but a first and last name.

[name_u]Auden[/name_u] [name_m]Asher[/name_m]: At first glance, this looks like a first and last name rather than a first and middle. Now, if the surname, for example, was White, then this combination isn’t bad, but if the surname however ended in -er/-or, then it wouldn’t flow and it sounds weird to hear. I personally am not a huge fan of alliteration.

[name_m]Both[/name_m] are sweet! I’m loving Ashford [name_u]Winslow[/name_u] lately.

[name_m]Asher[/name_m] [name_m]Benjamin[/name_m]

I don’t like [name_u]Auden[/name_u] with [name_m]Asher[/name_m] or [name_m]Benjamin[/name_m]. The beginning is too close to [name_m]Asher[/name_m], and the end is too close to [name_m]Benjamin[/name_m]. It just sounds awkward.

[name_m]Asher[/name_m] [name_m]Benjamin[/name_m] all the way! I love both these names, and they sound great put together in this order. Great picks, btw. [name_f]Happy[/name_f] naming!

I like [name_m]Asher[/name_m] [name_u]Auden[/name_u], but my second choice would be [name_u]Auden[/name_u] [name_m]Benjamin[/name_m] : )

I like [name_m]Asher[/name_m] best, I think [name_u]Auden[/name_u] will just get confused with the bajillions of Aidens out there. [name_m]Asher[/name_m] [name_u]Auden[/name_u] is a really nice alliterative name, along the lines of [name_m]Ansel[/name_m] [name_m]Adams[/name_m]. [name_m]Asher[/name_m] [name_m]Benjamin[/name_m] is a nice combo too, but it is rather heavy on the Biblical names.
