Hello, Berries! I hope you are all doing well.
As for me, I am currently going through a rather frustrating phase with my list!
Below are some combinations I do love and feel are fairly representative of my tastes, as well as short descriptions of my three favourite styles of names.
Approved combos
[name_f]Persephone[/name] [name_f]Alice[/name] “Poppet” & [name_m]Finvarra[/name] [name_m]Joy[/name] “Finny” (as siblings)
[name_f]Faustine[/name] [name_f]Lilibet[/name] “Faun”
[name_f]Cosette[/name] [name_f]Frederika[/name] “Cosy”
[name_f]Theolinda[name_f] [name_f]Madelief[/name] [name_f]Honey[/name] “Teddy”
[name_f]Rozenmarine[/name] [name_f]Clara[/name]
[name_f]Liselotte [name_f]Hero[/name]
[name_m]Isidore[/name] [name_m]Pasha[/name] “Isi” and/or [name_m]Pasha[/name] [name_m]Rozymund[/name]
[name_m]Castalian[/name] [name_m]Floris[/name] [name_m]Lark[/name]
[name_m]Merriweather[/name] [name_m]Ambrose[/name]
[name_m]Endymion[/name] [name_m]Laurie[/name]
The three faces of my list
Names directly pulled from literature, folklore, mythologies, fairy tales, theatre, opera, ballet, and other sources of wonder
Vintage names —with a twist! Instead of the once-popular names that are now seeing a well-deserved revival, I tend to favour names that have always been rare, and are more likely to be found inscribed on Victorian gravestones—or tucked away inside obscure Wikipedia entries—than on the list of a future parent Gothic names that retain an almost paradoxical element of sweetness, often due to a specific meaning or association
From these details and/or my Listography (which is admittedly in dire need of a real update, but still contains a respectable percentage of my current favourites), would you be so kind as to recommend a few combinations I might enjoy? Of course, there is no need to overthink this, even the smallest suggestion will be highly appreciated! I am open to both one or two middle names, by the way.
Thank you in advance, everyone… and my apologies for basically freeloading off your inspiration, haha.

I know which types of names I am most drawn to—and love the ones on my list dearly—but when it comes to crafting combos, I am more often than not completely stumped, and my UC has become a barren land! Perhaps that is in part because most of the names on my list are objectively difficult to pair without going (even more) overboard, but being able to keep more than 10 combos at a time without immediately finding my latest creations ridiculous would be nice, haha.
