If I were to list my favorite names, I think that I could fit most of them into one of these four origin categories:
Nordic (Scandinavian/[name]German[/name])
Welsh (Gaelic/Celtic)
Medieval (Shakespearian/Aurthurian)
Ancient Classic (Greek/Hebrew/Latin)
So, what kinds of (2-3 name) combos would you suggest using names from different categories?
I am curious to see what interesting combinations you’ll come up with, so have fun with it!
Thanks!
