[name_f]Brianna[/name_f]-[name_u]Leigh[/name_u]
Victorinne-[name_f]Emma[/name_f]

I am particularly fond of some with [name_f]Eve[/name_f]: [name_f]Eve[/name_f]-[name_f]Lily[/name_f], [name_f]Eve[/name_f]-[name_f]Marie[/name_f], [name_f]Eve[/name_f]-[name_f]Claire[/name_f], [name_f]Eve[/name_f]-[name_f]Sophie[/name_f].

[name_f]My[/name_f] favourites:
[name_u]Ivory[/name_u]-[name_u]Lynn[/name_u] - not wild about either name, but it has good flow.
[name_f]Jessa[/name_f]-[name_f]Belle[/name_f] - too much like [name_f]Jezebel[/name_f] for me.
[name_f]Alina[/name_f]-[name_f]Rayne[/name_f] - I’d prefer [name_f]Alina[/name_f]-[name_f]Belle[/name_f], maybe [name_f]Alina[/name_f]-[name_u]Rain[/name_u] just to make the spelling a bit more standard.
[name_f]Rorie[/name_f]-[name_f]Anne[/name_f] - Pretty cute! [name_f]Anne[/name_f] pairs well.
[name_f]Isabella[/name_f]-[name_f]May[/name_f] - This works pretty nicely
[name_f]Brianna[/name_f]-[name_u]Leigh[/name_u] - Not my style, but the names pair well
Victorinne-[name_f]Emma[/name_f] - Victorinne is cool, it’s enough name without [name_f]Emma[/name_f] though!

[name_f]Eve[/name_f]-[name_f]Claire[/name_f]! OMGoodness, I’m so happy that someone else brought that up. I adore it, but it seems to get so little love!

[name_f]Anne[/name_f]-[name_f]Sophie[/name_f] is on my list, and I’d probably use [name_f]Eve[/name_f]-[name_f]Claire[/name_f] as a nn for my [name_f]Eva[/name_f] combo ([name_f]Eva[/name_f] [name_f]Felicity[/name_f] [name_f]Claire[/name_f] or [name_f]Eva[/name_f] Madelief [name_f]Claire[/name_f]/[name_u]Ruby[/name_u]), or even [name_f]Evie[/name_f]-[name_f]Claire[/name_f]. I also love the nns [name_f]Ella[/name_f] [name_f]Kate[/name_f] and [name_f]Emmy[/name_f] Roo, although they’d likely be nns for much fuller combos (like [name_f]Ella[/name_f] [name_f]Catherine[/name_f] [name_u]Lior[/name_u], or [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f] [name_u]Ruby[/name_u] something or other). I like [name_f]Sarah[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f], too, probably because I grew up with one and thought she was really cool. :slight_smile: I like [name_f]Isabella[/name_f]-[name_f]May[/name_f] from your combos, and I know of a family who has an [name_f]Audrey[/name_f] (fn) [name_f]Claire[/name_f] (mn), but she goes by her full name, which I think is really sweet. [name_f]Rorie[/name_f]-[name_f]Anne[/name_f] is nice, and I’d love to see something like [name_f]Alina[/name_f] [name_f]May[/name_f], [name_f]Alina[/name_f] [name_f]Kate[/name_f], or [name_f]Alina[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f]…

I really like hyphen names! I love putting two names together to make something new. Especially when one or two of the names are somewhat unremarkable, but the two names together create this completely new experience! [name_f]My[/name_f] favorite hyphen names are [name_f]Briar[/name_f]-[name_f]Rose[/name_f] and [name_m]Tiger[/name_m]-[name_f]Lily[/name_f]. I also really love the suggestions of [name_f]Eve[/name_f]-[name_f]Claire[/name_f] and [name_f]Anne[/name_f]-[name_f]Sophie[/name_f]. There are so many different possibilities with hyphen names! :slight_smile:

I’m not overly fond of hyphenated names, however, some I don’t mind. I find that hyphens tend to weaken a name quite a bit, so two good strong, legitimate names with traditional spellings are preferable. I also am more prone to like a hyphenated name if the second name isn’t a ‘filler’ type name, like [name_f]Ann[/name_f], [name_f]Grace[/name_f], [name_f]Rose[/name_f] or the like. I tend to just prefer double names either smooshed together as one or as two separate unhyphenated names intended to be used as full first name. The only hyphenated name I have on my long list is [name_f]Ivy[/name_f]-[name_f]Tullia[/name_f] - not sure where it came from–it’s been there for years–but a love it. A couple of ‘smooshed’ type double names I love/enjoy include Sollilja and [name_f]Tigerlily[/name_f].

[name_f]Isabella[/name_f]-[name_f]May[/name_f] is the one I like from your list.
