Just a name rant I guess

[Klaralinnea]

So I’ve been sort of inactive here for a while now, and I really miss actually being a part of this community instead of just lurking around. So I thought the perfect way to make a comeback was to post a thread. So basically I’m just gonna post my favorite combos and names and I would really like your opinions, thoughts or just whatever. I just feel the need to talk names😅

[name_f]Emma[/name_f] [name_f]Susanna[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] is gorgeous and my favorite combo on your list. I also very excited to [name_u]Shannon[/name_u], [name_f]Sheila[/name_f], [name_m]Patrick[/name_m], and [name_m]Brendan[/name_m] because they’re all great names that I feel like I don’t see talked about much.

[ptn_llyn]

I love some of your more vintage female names like [name_f]Dolores[/name_f], [name_f]Cecilia[/name_f], [name_f]Bernadette[/name_f] (trying to convince my boyfriend on something similar right now lol), [name_f]Frances[/name_f], and [name_f]Sheila[/name_f]. Also love the two middle names. I love longer names (Bernadette, [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f], [name_f]Anastasia[/name_f], and [name_f]Alexandra[/name_f] are beautiful) as long as they sound nice together, which can sometimes be difficult. Considering where I’m from, I probably wouldn’t use the [name_u]Irish[/name_u] names [name_f]Sinéad[/name_f] and Éimear, but I do think they’re both really pretty and elegant but strong. Speaking of that, [name_f]Siobhan[/name_f] is one name that my boyfriend and I agree on, he just thinks the spelling could be confusing so we’ve been brainstorming some different ones (but I think they look kinda tacky tbh, so we probably won’t ever be using it).

For the boy names, I think this is where our styles don’t align as much, but just cause I wouldn’t use it doesn’t mean it’s not objectively handsome and a good name. [name_u]Flynn[/name_u] [name_u]Gardener[/name_u] [name_u]March[/name_u] is awesome. I love names ending with that er sound. Also like [name_u]Sheridan[/name_u] (probably prefer this for a girl) and [name_u]Rory[/name_u].

Great names!

[name_f]Dolores[/name_f] [name_f]Mary[/name_f] [name_f]Linnea[/name_f]
[name_f]Emma[/name_f] [name_f]Susanna[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f]
[name_f]Sarah[/name_f] [name_f]Frances[/name_f] [name_u]Rose[/name_u]

[name_u]Connor[/name_u] [name_m]Oisin[/name_m] Song
[name_u]Rory[/name_u] [name_m]Flannan[/name_m] [name_u]Auburn[/name_u]
[name_u]Flynn[/name_u] [name_u]Gardener[/name_u] [name_u]March[/name_u]

[EdgeOfTheMeadow]

[name_f]My[/name_f] favourite of your girl combos is [name_f]Cassie[/name_f] [name_f]Tatiana[/name_f] [name_f]Christiane[/name_f] I love the French-Russian vibes!

[name_u]Connor[/name_u] [name_m]Oisin[/name_m] Song is absolutely lovely & [name_u]Sheridan[/name_u] [name_u]Stanley[/name_u] [name_u]Joe[/name_u] is really jaunty and fun!

Some individual names that I’m especially happy to see: [name_f]Dolores[/name_f], [name_f]Linnéa[/name_f], [name_f]Roisin[/name_f], [name_f]Anastasia[/name_f], [name_m]Riordan[/name_m], [name_m]Mac[/name_m], [name_m]Alexei[/name_m] & – most of all – [name_m]Breccan[/name_m]! It’s one of my current top 10 favourites and I hardly ever see anyone else mention, let alone like it, so this has really made my day!

[Greyblue]

[name_f]Dolores[/name_f] [name_f]Mary[/name_f] [name_f]Linnéa[/name_f] → international and unexpected, with plenty of flair but grounded too? [name_f]My[/name_f] only qualm is that [name_f]Dolores[/name_f] is given in honour of the Virgin [name_f]Mary[/name_f]?

[name_f]Cecilia[/name_f] [name_u]Julie[/name_u] [name_u]Leigh[/name_u] → I like the flow of [name_f]Cecilia[/name_f] [name_u]Julie[/name_u] but [name_f]Cecilia[/name_f] Julie [name_u]Leigh[/name_u] sounds a bit rhymey and tongue-twistery? As in Cec-ee-LEE-uh Ju-LEE LEE? Maybe [name_f]Cecilia[/name_f] [name_u]Julie[/name_u] [name_f]Meadow[/name_f], [name_f]Cecilia[/name_f] [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] [name_u]Jules[/name_u], [name_f]Cecilia[/name_f] [name_u]Julie[/name_u] [name_u]Reese[/name_u]

[name_f]Sinéad[/name_f] [name_f]Bernadette[/name_f] [name_f]Pearl[/name_f] → unexpected and clunky cute

Rósín [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] [name_u]Marie[/name_u] → so pretty but strong!

[name_f]Emma[/name_f] [name_f]Susanna[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] → it’s giving [name_f]Jane[/name_f] [name_u]Austen[/name_u] vibes.

Éimear [name_f]Therese[/name_f] [name_f]Faith[/name_f] → I think [name_f]Eimear[/name_f] [name_f]Theresa[/name_f] [name_f]Faith[/name_f] would flow better, but [name_f]Therese[/name_f] works too!

[name_f]Sarah[/name_f] [name_f]Frances[/name_f] [name_u]Rose[/name_u] → classic and solid! Also Saffie [name_u]Rose[/name_u] would make a super cute nickname

[name_u]Dakota[/name_u] [name_u]Rain[/name_u] [name_u]Louise[/name_u] → contemporary and cool in vibe

[name_f]Blodwen[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f] [name_f]Mór[/name_f] → mystical and interesting, but [name_f]Grace[/name_f] feels a bit dull here. [name_f]Blodwen[/name_f] [name_f]Tesni[/name_f] [name_f]Mór[/name_f] or [name_f]Blodwen[/name_f] [name_f]Alys[/name_f] [name_f]Mór[/name_f] came to mind

[name_f]Siobhan[/name_f] [name_f]Victoria[/name_f] Vox → I find it a tad dated, but it’s not bad. It has strong, sharp vibes

[name_u]Shannon[/name_u] [name_f]Anastasia[/name_f] [name_u]Lux[/name_u] → unexpected, but flows well and feels cool!

[name_f]Molly[/name_f] [name_u]Ireland[/name_u] [name_f]Christine[/name_f] → cute and balanced

[name_f]Sheila[/name_f] [name_u]Erin[/name_u] [name_f]Alexandra[/name_f] → [name_f]Sheila[/name_f] [name_f]Alexandra[/name_f] [name_u]Erin[/name_u] would flow better to me but [name_f]Sheila[/name_f] feels like a bold choice today.

[name_f]Cassie[/name_f] [name_f]Tatiana[/name_f] [name_f]Christiane[/name_f] → I think [name_f]Cassie[/name_f] [name_f]Tatiana[/name_f] [name_f]Christine[/name_f] would flow better, but this is sweet - a cool balance between international, cute and sharp! (Molly [name_f]Christiane[/name_f] Ireland/Molly [name_u]Ireland[/name_u] [name_f]Christiane[/name_f] would work too)

[name_u]Connor[/name_u] [name_m]Oisin[/name_m] Song → rugged and melodic

[name_u]Taylor[/name_u] [name_m]Riordan[/name_m] [name_u]John[/name_u] → gentle and rugged sounds at the same time, pretty cool

[name_m]Patrick[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u] [name_u]Cross[/name_u] → not a big fan of [name_u]Cross[/name_u] - feels quite heavy here, and the double meanings: and but [name_m]Patrick[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u] is classic but with a bit of kick. [name_m]Patrick[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u] [name_m]Kirk[/name_m] came to mind

[name_m]Ronan[/name_m] [name_m]Mannix[/name_m] [name_m]Cairn[/name_m] → this feels edgy and rugged

[name_u]Blake[/name_u] [name_m]Christopher[/name_m] [name_m]Ian[/name_m] → nicely balanced between classic, solid, gentle and literary

[name_u]Sheridan[/name_u] [name_u]Stanley[/name_u] [name_u]Joe[/name_u] → this is fun and lively

[name_m]Brendan[/name_m] [name_u]Michael[/name_u] [name_m]Wales[/name_m] → flows well and feels grounded with a little unexpectedness

[name_u]Rory[/name_u] [name_m]Flannan[/name_m] [name_u]Auburn[/name_u] → it bothers me that they all mean ‘red’ in some way but I do love [name_u]Rory[/name_u]. [name_u]Rory[/name_u] [name_m]Finnian[/name_m] [name_u]Aubrey[/name_u] came to mind

[name_m]Rourke[/name_m] [name_m]Baxter[/name_m] [name_u]Lee[/name_u] → this has edge and sharpness

[name_m]Mac[/name_m] [name_m]Odhran[/name_m] [name_u]Carson[/name_u] → I think the similar [name_m]Mac[/name_m] [name_m]Odhran[/name_m] [name_u]Carter[/name_u] would flow better, but [name_m]Mac[/name_m] [name_m]Odhran[/name_m] is so cool - love the sounds and vibes

[name_u]Julian[/name_u] [name_m]Breccan[/name_m] [name_m]Ransom[/name_m] → rugged and outdoorsy but sophisticated too

[name_m]Alexei[/name_m] [name_m]Gannon[/name_m] [name_m]Obsidian[/name_m] → this has mystical, fantastical vibes

[name_u]Madden[/name_u] [name_m]Nicholas[/name_m] [name_u]Noel[/name_u] → the flow is great and zippy, but my only qualm is both [name_m]Nicholas[/name_m] and [name_u]Noel[/name_u] feel christmassy? this is probably a me issue

[name_u]Flynn[/name_u] [name_u]Gardener[/name_u] [name_u]March[/name_u] → pretty fun and sparky

[name_u]Joseph[/name_u] [name_m]Anthony[/name_m] [name_m]Gerard[/name_m] → dated but in a cool-grandpa way
