General Name Discussion

I have recently been crushing on two-part names for girls (for example, [name_f]Anna[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] or [name_f]Sarah[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f] as a first name), but can’t come up with ones that stand out to me. I don’t like super predictable ones (for example, I know several [name_f]Ann[/name_f] [name_f]Claire[/name_f], [name_f]Anna[/name_f] [name_u]Clare[/name_u] variations) and I don’t like ones that sound too country-fied (for example, my grandmother’s name–[name_f]Janie[/name_f] [name_u]Lou[/name_u]–or even [name_f]Sarah[/name_f] [name_f]Beth[/name_f], which is not as bad a [name_f]Janie[/name_f] [name_u]Lou[/name_u] but still gives me that vibe.)

[name_f]My[/name_f] favorite two-part names I’ve encountered in real life:
[name_f]Mary[/name_f] [name_f]Margaret[/name_f]
[name_f]Anna[/name_f] [name_f]Catherine[/name_f] (though I find this one to be a little long to say)
[name_f]Mary[/name_f] [name_f]Laura[/name_f] (love the unusual-ness of [name_f]Laura[/name_f] in this one)
[name_f]Judith[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f] (I like this one because I have a soft spot for [name_f]Judith[/name_f] but hate [name_f]Judy[/name_f] with a passion :wink: )

Here are the names I’ve been toying with to make combinations, but I’m completely open to other suggestions. I like classic, vintage, and nature names:
[name_f]Jane[/name_f]
[name_f]Edith[/name_f]
[name_f]Grace[/name_f]
[name_f]Rose[/name_f]
[name_f]Elise[/name_f]/[name_f]Elsa[/name_f]
[name_f]May[/name_f]
[name_f]Lucy[/name_f]
[name_f]Mary[/name_f]
[name_f]Faye[/name_f]
[name_f]Cora[/name_f]
[name_f]Celia[/name_f]
[name_f]Ruth[/name_f]
[name_f]Violet[/name_f]
[name_f]Mercy[/name_f]
[name_f]Esther[/name_f]
[name_f]Fiona[/name_f]
[name_f]Catherine[/name_f]
[name_f]Therese[/name_f]
[name_f]Elenna[/name_f]
[name_f]Margaret[/name_f]
[name_f]Caroline[/name_f]

So far I’ve the only ones I’ve come up with that I really like are [name_f]Edith[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f], [name_f]Mary[/name_f] [name_f]Caroline[/name_f], and [name_f]Celia[/name_f] [name_f]Faye[/name_f] (though Celia Faye may feel too first name-middle name rather than double first name). Combos and suggestions would be great!! Thanks!

[name_f]Edith[/name_f] [name_f]Faye[/name_f]
[name_f]Elsa[/name_f] [name_f]Violet[/name_f] ([name_m]Ah[/name_m]! [name_f]Elise[/name_f] is my name! Though because it’s my name, I can’t imagine it as a double at all.)
[name_f]Lucy[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f]
[name_f]Mary[/name_f] [name_f]Faye[/name_f]
[name_f]Cora[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f]
[name_f]Celia[/name_f] [name_f]Ruth[/name_f], [name_f]Celia[/name_f] [name_f]Pearl[/name_f]

[name_f]Catherine[/name_f] [name_f]May[/name_f]
[name_f]Elenna[/name_f] [name_f]Therese[/name_f] (I much prefer [name_f]Elena[/name_f], which is lovely)
[name_f]Margaret[/name_f] [name_f]Ruth[/name_f]
[name_f]Caroline[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f]

[name_f]Judith[/name_f] [name_f]Anne[/name_f]/[name_f]Rose[/name_f]/[name_f]May[/name_f]/[name_f]Kate[/name_f]
[name_f]Lydia[/name_f] [name_f]Mae[/name_f]/[name_f]May[/name_f]
[name_f]Anna[/name_f] [name_f]Louisa[/name_f]*
Maybe you would like: [name_f]Ada[/name_f], [name_f]Ivy[/name_f], [name_f]Iris[/name_f], [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f], [name_f]Flora[/name_f], [name_f]Cecily[/name_f]/[name_f]Cicely[/name_f], [name_f]Lydia[/name_f], [name_f]Juliet[/name_f], and/or [name_f]Eloise[/name_f]. That’s a bit of my style creeping in, though.

*[name_f]IMO[/name_f], the three-syllable names are a bit too long for a double name, because they end up getting squished ([name_f]Catherine[/name_f] to Cathrin, [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] to Margrit) and lose their elegance. Though I do know an [name_f]Anna[/name_f] [name_f]Luisa[/name_f] (not [name_f]Louisa[/name_f]- [name_f]Luisa[/name_f] with a soft S) who wears the name really well, despite the three syllables of [name_f]Luisa[/name_f].

Thanks! I agree about the three syllable names getting squished. The only one I’d probably still go for is [name_f]Margaret[/name_f], because where I live it’s typically pronounced with two syllables ([name_f]Mar[/name_f]-gret, not [name_f]Mar[/name_f]-ga-ret) no matter what.

[name_f]Lucy[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] and [name_f]Fiona[/name_f] [name_f]May[/name_f] are very cute–love those, as well as [name_f]Cora[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] (so sweet, though maybe bordering on country???). I really like [name_f]Mary[/name_f] [name_f]Faye[/name_f], [name_f]Esther[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f], and [name_f]Lydia[/name_f] [name_f]Mae[/name_f] too.
