hi berries! i hope you all are having a wonderful summer! it’s been a minute since i’ve logged onto nameberry (i moved at the beginning of this summer, and i’ve been spending all my time working & doing extra school classes, along with trying to get settled into a new place), but i’ve recently realized how much i miss this community. 
[name_f][/name_f]but anyways, when i logged on this morning, i realized i don’t really know what names i like anymore! so that’s my challenge for you guys this morning—pitch a name, or a combo, you think i might like, or if you remember my style from back when i was active on here, tell me if there are any of my old loves i should keep, and why!
[name_f][/name_f]thank you so much, berries, and have a wonderful day! 
I mean, I favorite combo is [name_f]Mirri[/name_f] [name_f]Telma[/name_f] [name_f]Arsinoe[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]- th sun will rise again,
[name_f][/name_f]like fancy names

[name_m]Hi[/name_m]! I remember you, I adopted one of my favorite combos (Beatrice Clover) from you!
[name_f][/name_f]You have a lot of great names on your longer lists… some combos with those that you might consider (or at least, I think they’re good combos) are…
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Jonah[/name_m] [name_f]Vesper[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Opal[/name_f] [name_f]Iolana[/name_f] (this is my first time hearing [name_f]Iolana[/name_f] but I love it)
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Bennett[/name_m] [name_m]Astrophel[/name_m]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Louise[/name_f] [name_f]Olivet[/name_f]

[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Alice[/name_f] [name_f]Magnolia[/name_f]

[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Gilbert[/name_m] [name_m]Wilder[/name_m]
And some similar names I think you might like:
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Caspia[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Emmeline[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Lenora[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Elowen[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Paloma[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Damian[/name_m]
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Wilbur[/name_m]
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Raphael[/name_m]
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Stellan[/name_m]
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Scout[/name_m] (b)… I know you already have [name_m]Scout[/name_m] (g) but I think both work for you
[name_m]Welcome[/name_m] back, [name_m]Charlie[/name_m]!
[name_f][/name_f]Of your old options, I’m rooting for:
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Marilla[/name_f] [name_f]Hope[/name_f] → bright, literary and unexpected
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Matilda[/name_f] [name_f]Avonlea[/name_f] → storybook vibes but grounded
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] [name_f]Christabel[/name_f] → magical and sparkly but solid too
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Robin[/name_m] [name_m]Curtis[/name_m] → storybook vibes [name_f][/name_f]- but also a tiny bit clunky cute
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]August[/name_m] [name_m]Christopher[/name_m] → charming and warm
If I were to suggest some with a similar vibe:
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Clara[/name_f] [name_f]Liadan[/name_f] → classic and vintage with a twist
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Etta[/name_f] [name_f]Gwendolen[/name_f] → storybook vibes
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Cordelia[/name_f] [name_f]Fifer[/name_f] → inspired by [name_f]Anne[/name_f] [name_f]Caledonia[/name_f], with a twist
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Edith[/name_f] Rosewyn → strong-but-cute first, sweet middle
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Oswin[/name_m] [name_m]Shepherd[/name_m] → clunky, cool first, fresh, smooth middle
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Jonty[/name_m] [name_m]Reuben[/name_m] → warm and friendly
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Casper[/name_m] [name_m]Lane[/name_m] → stylish but vintage
To me, you seem to like elaborate but sturdy girls names- classics and feel familiar, but are still pretty and a little more frilly than other timeless names. They seem to have a vintage, cottage core, slightly literary feel!

I would be inclined to particularly pitch Gwendolyn, Lavinia, and Florence. I think they really fit the romantic, elegant, flowery feel of your girls names.
For boys, your names seem handsome, woodsy, and just plain sweet! They seem to be a bit softer and more romantic. I think we have quite similar style, so I’ve listed a bunch of boys names that I love, and hopefully we have some overlap.

It’s so nice to see you! [name_m]Welcome[/name_m] back, I hope you are doing so well settling into your new place.
[name_f][/name_f]Tbh, I think a lot of my suggestions will be echoes of previous commenters, but I just had to comment to say hi!
[name_f][/name_f]I love the suggestions so far of:
[name_f][/name_f]- [name_f][/name_f]
- [name_f]Georgiana[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]
- [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]
- [name_m]Edmund[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f]
- [name_f]Dorothy[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]
- [name_f]Polly[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]
- [name_f]Diana[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]
- [name_f]Magnolia[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]
- [name_f]Olivet[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]
- [name_f]Ramona[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]
- [name_f]Caspia[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]
- [name_m]Scout[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f]
- [name_f]Marilla[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]
- [name_f]Avonlea[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]
- [name_f]Etta[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]
- [name_f]Florence[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]
- [name_f]Wilhelmina[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]
- [name_f]Lavinia[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]
- [name_m]Kit[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f]
[name_f]My[/name_f] slightly meta suggestion of getting back into the flow of names and making lists is to create some themed lists! It could be anything [name_f][/name_f]- obviously you take a lot of inspiration from [name_f]Anne[/name_f] of [name_m]Green[/name_m] [name_m]Gables[/name_m] (love!); so you could try making some similarily themed lists. I’m not sure what you like, but say;
[name_f][/name_f]“Names that would be in a [name_f]Jane[/name_f] [name_m]Austen[/name_m] novel”
[name_f][/name_f]“Avonlea names with a modern twist”
[name_f][/name_f]“Taylor [name_m]Swift[/name_m] x vintage classic crossovers”
[name_f][/name_f]“Rare biblical names with floral middles”
Stuff like that really helped me after a 2 year break!
Some new ideas:

I just want to say hi and welcome, I’ve recently come back after a hiatus too! waves[name_f][/name_f] 
[name_f][/name_f] and I will come back at a later point when I have more time and actually answer the question!!
@Shortpersonwhoisobss[name_f][/name_f] [name_m]Ah[/name_m], I love combos with beautiful combined meanings! “The sun will rise again” is gorgeous. I’m definitely going to be looking at meanings when making combos now, thank you so much!
[name_f][/name_f]@Demoiselle[name_f][/name_f] Thank you, these are all lovely!! You’ve 100% hit my style on the head. I’m especially obsessed with the combos you’ve created—Edmund [name_f]Lark[/name_f] (I love a good nature middle for boys!), [name_f]Polly[/name_f] [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] (Polly [name_f]Jo[/name_f] 
), and [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m] [name_m]Prosper[/name_m] (sounds like a book character!) are especially standing out to me. Thank you again!
@lucy_halo1[name_f][/name_f] Aw, I’m so glad! I do love [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] [name_f]Clover[/name_f], and I love that you love her as well 
[name_f][/name_f]. All the combos you created are gorgeous, but I’m especially obsessed with [name_m]Felix[/name_m] October—I’m swooning, a classic-clunky boys name with an off-beat nature middle? I love. Thank you so much for your suggestions!
@Greyblue[name_f][/name_f] Thank you so much!! You always give the best suggestions. I really appreciate your thoughts on my old names; they’re definitely helping me see them in a new light! I’m also loving all these new combos! I’ve never heard of [name_f]Liadan[/name_f] before, and I’m now currently going down a rabbit hole on the [name_m]Irish[/name_m] poet and surrounding folklore 
[name_f][/name_f]. I also love [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f] [name_f]Fifer[/name_f] (classic meets spunky vibes, which I love), and [name_m]Casper[/name_m] [name_m]Lane[/name_m] (100% a storybook character). Thank you again, I really appreciate your feedback!
@OctaviaMay[name_f][/name_f] Ahh, thank you so much for all your suggestions! I really appreciate all of these. Some of the names you’ve listed are old loves I’m currently considering for updated lists, but some of them are brand new considerations for me—Bernadette (Birdie 
), [name_f]Delia[/name_f], [name_f]Elisabeth[/name_f], [name_f]May[/name_f], and [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] for girls, and [name_m]Bram[/name_m], [name_m]Clement[/name_m], [name_m]Rudy[/name_m], and [name_m]Valentine[/name_m] for boys are especially standing out to me for new ideas. I’m most definitely going to be coming back to your reply for more ideas, because you’ve given me so many suggestions I love!
@kasatka[name_f][/name_f] Thank you so much! I actually really appreciate your themed list ideas, because they’re 100% the kind of combos I’d love to create, haha. Going to spend my whole afternoon creating combos with these patterns…
[name_f][/name_f]. [name_f][/name_f] But seriously, this is a great idea—definitely going to get me out of my “naming rut.” I (pretty obviously) love names that sound like they could be book characters so naming lists like “just walked out of Avonlea” or “Jane [name_m]Austen[/name_m] countryside” are going to be so fun for me to create!
@juliem1912[name_f][/name_f] Ooh, I love these combos! [name_f]Harriet[/name_f] [name_m]Larkspur[/name_m] and [name_f]Eliza[/name_f] [name_f]Marigold[/name_f] sound like an adorable set of cottagecore sisters, and [name_m]Walter[/name_m] [name_m]Finch[/name_m], [name_m]Hugo[/name_m] [name_m]Sylvan[/name_m], and [name_m]Simon[/name_m] [name_m]Whitaker[/name_m] are right up my alley for boys! Thank you so much, I’m really enjoying all these suggestions!!
