echoing what @cadhlamarie95 said, personally, i think that it kinda depends on the said combo! if the combo is made up of very classic, established names, (letās take [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] [name_f]Eloise[/name_f] for example) it seems much more irrational for you to be mad that it was āstolenā. on the other hand, if you like very unique, under-the-radar names, and someone happens to steal a combo made out of them, (for example, @halinkaās [name_f]Mari[/name_f] Driftwood) itās much more understandable for you to be irritated.
my two cents :ā)
also, matilda is the absolute best way to get the nickname millie.
While I did love seeing [name_u]George[/name_u] on the female lead character in Dead Like Me, I tend to look at [name_u]George[/name_u] as a boyās nameā¦ probably because of the people named [name_u]George[/name_u] Iāve known are male.
I think of it as a more masc name too, I just prefer it for a girl I guess cause I like [name_u]Georgie[/name_u] and [name_f]Georgina[/name_f] so it sounds just like a more masculine nickname than a full name itself? Idk
I quite like it as a nickname, even one to go by all of the time, but if I were named [name_u]George[/name_u], Iād want to have a longer name to fall back on.
This actually made me think that [name_u]George[/name_u] & [name_u]August[/name_u] as nicknames for [name_f]Georgiana[/name_f] and [name_f]Augusta[/name_f] would be quite the lovely set.
I love George as a nickname for Georgiana. Iāve never been a fan of August- names, but George and August would be adorable, especially as NNs for Georgiana and Augusta. Though I would definitely skip the long name pairing Georgia and Augusta.
Maybe a third sister [name_f]Henrietta[/name_f] nn [name_u]Henry[/name_u]?
Now Iāll be spending quite some time looking for other names to fit this setā¦
Iām not sure this belongs here and I donāt want to rehash stuff but just wanted to say after seeing peopleās quite strong emotions - Iād never duplicate someoneās combo on purpose but if anyone ever spots that I have done so inadvertently on my UC (or when mentioning a new combo) - please donāt sit on it, just message me and I will remove it. Donāt want to upset anyone. That is all.
I dislike the name [name_f]Virginia[/name_f], [name_m]Gideon[/name_m], and [name_m]Gilbert[/name_m] for the same reason. I think of the first part, Virgin, Gide(Giddy) and [name_m]Gil[/name_m] (Gill).
[name_u]Anne[/name_u] is a name that I only seem to like as a first name. I think because [name_u]Anne[/name_u] seems fresh in that context while Ann/Anne is a relatively common middle name as it works well with so many first names.
Where I am, august is strictly male, because itās not seen as a month name (though it is) but as a form of Augustus; theyāre also pronounced differently (AU-gust for the name and au-GUST for the month), so it doesnāt feel very unisex to me, which is why Iād always want a longer name to fall back on for any gender-bender names.
I do think it would be fun to have a set like [name_u]August[/name_u], [name_u]Henry[/name_u], [name_u]George[/name_u], [name_m]Philip[/name_m], [name_m]Thomas[/name_m], [name_f]Lissie[/name_f], [name_f]Edie[/name_f] & [name_f]Emmie[/name_f], though - with the full names being [name_f]Augusta[/name_f], [name_f]Henrietta[/name_f], [name_f]Georgiana[/name_f], [name_f]Philippa[/name_f], [name_f]Thomasina[/name_f], [name_m]Lysander[/name_m], [name_m]Edmund[/name_m] & [name_m]Emilian[/name_m], for example, it certainly would surprise a few people!
