I don’t think I’ll ever get over [name_f]Nairne[/name_f] [name_f]Eliza[/name_f]. [name_f]My[/name_f] DH has already vetoed it for any actual future daughters but I still adore her. She’s Narnia-esque with a hint of ethereal. She’s unusual but still all things feminine and lovely while being strong and decisive.

Today, I’ve been thinking about…

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Keats[/name_m] [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m] → for its poetic spark, the balance between classic and rare, how [name_m]Keats[/name_m] feels familiar (like [name_m]Kit[/name_m], but not) yet unexpected, the nod to a favourite character in [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f]- and [name_m]Keats[/name_m] was my guinea pig’s name :heart:

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Taliesin[/name_m] [name_m]Ivo[/name_m] → for its magic and whimsy, for its rugged poetry and balance of sounds. I love the nicknames [name_f]Tal[/name_f], [name_f]Tali[/name_f], [name_m]Taz[/name_m], and Tez too!

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Gwenonwy[/name_f] [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] → for its floral charm, its melodious charm, its magic vibes, and the snappy sounds [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] adds

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Tansy[/name_f] [name_f]Margot[/name_f] → for its ditzy, summery feel, its lovely sunny warmth and bubbliness [name_f][/name_f]- the hint of magic from its meaning

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Mithian[/name_f] [name_f]Flora[/name_f] → light yet strong, fairy-tale-esque, strong but sweet!

I’ve been in love with [name_m]Tadhg[/name_m] for years, but I’m crushing hard on [name_m]Tadhg[/name_m] [name_m]Eoin[/name_m].. it makes me swoon. But my wife is American and has vetoed [name_m]Tadhg[/name_m] itself, which is a shame because I have dreams of my future children and their names and I can so clearly see [name_m]Tadhg[/name_m] in my little rag-tag bunch of world-travelling, giggling-till-it-hurts crew of kiddos.

[name_f][/name_f]

Our future children: [name_m]Ellis[/name_m] [name_m]James[/name_m], [name_m]Orla[/name_m] [name_f]Claire[/name_f], [name_f]Aoife[/name_f] [name_f]Nora[/name_f], [name_m]Lachlan[/name_m] [name_m]William[/name_m] and [name_m]Cian[/name_m] [name_m]Hayes[/name_m].

[name_m]Damian[/name_m] [name_m]Sylvan[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f]- [name_f]Dae[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f]I adore the heck out of this name. I love the flow and the softness, I love the spark of magic and the forest-y feelings it evokes, and I love the way it honors my fiancé’s mom. I also love the meaning “Master of the Woodlands.”

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Nicholas[/name_m] [name_m]Julian[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f]- [name_m]Nico[/name_m]
[name_f][/name_f]I love the name [name_m]Nicholas[/name_m] as it honors a musician who means a lot to me, and I’ve always, always adored the nickname [name_m]Nico[/name_m]. I also love [name_m]Julian[/name_m] as it honors both my cousin and the month my fiancé and I started talking. It feels special because of the people it honors, but I also love the sounds and the flow and the softness of it.

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Wesley[/name_m] [name_m]Jacob[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f]- [name_m]Wes[/name_m]
[name_f][/name_f]Ahhh, I just love how bright and sunny this name is to me. He feels so warm and cuddly. I also love [name_m]Jacob[/name_m] because it’s a name my nephew chose to put on my list. I also love the meaning “Meadow Protector” because it feels so earthy and instilled with a love of nature.

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Dylan[/name_m] [name_m]Cassius[/name_m]
[name_f][/name_f]Another name I love for its softness and flow, it also evokes a bit of “rough and tumble” that I adore. [name_m]Cassius[/name_m] is also an honor for my older sister, which is super important to me. The meaning “Son of the [name_f]Sea[/name_f] Castle” is also just super awesome. It’s an all around fun name that I’ve really fallen for.

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Malcolm[/name_m] [name_m]Eros[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f]- [name_m]Cole[/name_m]
[name_f][/name_f]This one surprised me with how much I love it. I just love the strength it gives off and the fact [name_m]Eros[/name_m] stands for love. Then [name_m]Cole[/name_m] comes in and softens it a little bit and it’d be a little nod at somebody I really care for. Plus, [name_m]Eros[/name_m] also could be a nod at one of my fiancé’s brothers. It feels very “cozy/at home” for me for those reasons.

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Mason[/name_m] [name_m]Forest[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f]- [name_m]Ace[/name_m]
[name_f][/name_f]I used to have [name_m]Roland[/name_m] [name_m]Forest[/name_m] on my list, but it didn’t flow as well with fiancé’s last name, so then along came [name_m]Mason[/name_m] [name_m]Forest[/name_m], and I fell hard for him. He’s so soft, sweet, and playful sounding. I love that [name_m]Ace[/name_m] would be a fun lil honor for my mom, who has used the name for video game characters for her whole life. It’s also just a fun, magical feeling nickname on it’s own. [name_m]Forest[/name_m] would also honor a musician my fiancé and I adore.

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Rowan[/name_m] [name_f]Valerie[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]- [name_m]Rory[/name_m]
[name_f][/name_f]I could talk for ages about this little fiery girl name I adore. She feels so [name_f]Autumn[/name_f] coded and I love the [name_f]Autumn[/name_f] time. She also feels very strong to me, and I love a good strong girl’s name. Gender neutral girl names are one of my absolute favorites, I think it’s because I go by a very gender neutral nickname myself. So [name_m]Rowan[/name_m] just fits the bill in all ways for me. Then [name_f]Valerie[/name_f] is both an honor name for my nana and my younger sister, and I’ve always dreamed of using her to honor them both as they’re very special people to me. [name_m]Rory[/name_m] comes in as a fun, spunky nickname that I just adore and may or may not be just a lil nod to one of my favorite shows.

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Lorelai[/name_f] [name_f]Juliet[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]- [name_f]Laila[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f]This is one my fiancé came up with and I fell for it almost immediately. She feels so light and airy and beachy. It’s a different vibe than I usually go for, especially for my girl’s names, but I couldn’t help but be enamored by her. She feels magical. [name_f]Juliet[/name_f] would be an honor, again, for both my cousin and the month my fiancé and I started talking in, which is super important to me and means the world to me.

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Marina[/name_f] [name_f]Cassidy[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]- [name_f]Mara[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f]Another name that’s a little out there for me, but I couldn’t help but fall for. She feels like a breath of fresh air and a day out by the waterside. I love the feelings she evokes. I also love that [name_f]Cassidy[/name_f] would be an honor for my older sister. [name_f]Mara[/name_f] is another fun, spunky nickname that I love. I read it in a book and fell for it immediately.

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Serena[/name_f] [name_f]Alyson[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f]I love the flow and the sounds of this name so much. She evokes a sorta moon goddess vibe to me. I love the meaning of “Serene and [name_m]Noble[/name_m] Kind.” She feels so gentle and kind and loving. I also love that [name_f]Alyson[/name_f] would be an honor for my step mom.

Right now I am loving [name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Rhiannon[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]- it feels romantic, powerful, simple and classic. I love the alliteration too.

[name_f][/name_f]

For boys I’m loving [name_m]Rafael[/name_m] [name_m]Monte[/name_m] [name_m]Rio[/name_m] and [name_m]Augustine[/name_m] [name_m]Enrique[/name_m]

I’m redoing my list at the moment, so I have a ton of new combos to boast about. A few of my new favorites:

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Heracleia[/name_f] [name_f]June[/name_f] “Hera” [name_f][/name_f]- @winterlyricalfox[name_f][/name_f] opened my eyes to [name_f]Heracleia[/name_f] in a major way. I already think [name_f]Hera[/name_f] is so gorgeous and underrated and [name_f]Heracleia[/name_f] is just golden, heroic and bold. I think [name_f]June[/name_f] brings the whole combo down to earth a little, makes me think of a summer’s day in the woods. I also like the mythological echo of [name_f]June[/name_f] being named for Hera’s [name_m]Roman[/name_m] Counterpart.

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Evening[/name_f] [name_f]Annemarie[/name_f] “Eve” and [name_f]Fable[/name_f] [name_f]Renee[/name_f] “Fern” [name_f][/name_f]- [name_f]Evening[/name_f] and [name_f]Fable[/name_f] are one of my all time twinsets, but I never knew how to balance them. Lately I’m favoring gentle, slightly old fashioned choices to settle down the wow factor of [name_f]Evening[/name_f] and [name_f]Fable[/name_f]. [name_f]Evening[/name_f] [name_f]Annemarie[/name_f] seems like a little lullaby, gentle and starry. While [name_f]Fable[/name_f] [name_f]Renee[/name_f] feels like a wild child, wandering through the woods and telling stories.

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Odette[/name_f] [name_f]Lullaby[/name_f] “Dottie / [name_f]Dottie[/name_f] Lou” [name_f][/name_f]- [name_f]Odette[/name_f] [name_f]Lullaby[/name_f] hit me out of nowhere. I love everything about it, the double letters, the nickname [name_f]Dottie[/name_f] [name_f]Lou[/name_f], the classic elegance of [name_f]Odette[/name_f] with the very offbeat [name_f]Lullaby[/name_f] in the middle. I love the versatility of it. [name_f]My[/name_f] little [name_f]Odette[/name_f] [name_f]Lullaby[/name_f] can be a straight-laced, feminine [name_f]Odette[/name_f], a quirky [name_f]Dottie[/name_f], or a memorable [name_f]Lullaby[/name_f].

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Finnick[/name_m] [name_f]Hyacinth[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]- [name_m]Finnick[/name_m] is one of the few unambiguous boy names I like. I’ve loved the Hunger Games for decades, and [name_m]Finnick[/name_m] is a great character. He’s gentle, funny, brave, and kind despite all his pain. [name_f]Hyacinth[/name_f] never appealed to me until I thought of it as a boy’s middle. I love floral names and feminine names being repurposed for boys, and [name_m]Finnick[/name_m] [name_f]Hyacinth[/name_f] feels like a good mix of classic masculinity with a bit of playfulness and gender-bendery.

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Rafferty[/name_m] [name_f]Joy[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]- A name I would genuinely love on a child of any gender, I love lighthearted [name_m]Rafferty[/name_m] with the simple sweetness of [name_f]Joy[/name_f]. The double y ending also satisfies my love of names with visual symmetry.

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Fern[/name_f] [name_f]Annika[/name_f] “Frankie” and [name_f]Story[/name_f] [name_f]Evelyn[/name_f] “Stevie” [name_f][/name_f]- I’m working on a set of girl names with punky, boyish nicknames to go with [name_f]Fern[/name_f] [name_f]Annika[/name_f] and [name_f]Story[/name_f] [name_f]Evelyn[/name_f] leapt out to me. [name_f]Story[/name_f] isn’t usually a name I’ve shortlisted, but with the nickname [name_f]Stevie[/name_f] I think it’s adorable. I love how both names are gentle and soft, but represent anciency and strength as well. Ferns are some of the oldest life on earth, and stories have been around as long as we have.

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Luella[/name_f] [name_f]Ruby[/name_f] “LaRue” [name_f][/name_f]- LaRue is one of my wife and I’s oldest favorite nicknames and I knew I wanted a [name_f]Ruby[/name_f] combo to go with it. I think [name_f]Ruby[/name_f] is playful and energetic and a bit firey, and [name_f]Luella[/name_f] matches it perfectly. I also love how [name_f]Luella[/name_f] is so sweet and lilting, but means “renowned fairy warrior”. The perfect blend of strength and whimsy. I would use this as a sister to [name_f]Eulalie[/name_f] [name_f]Fern[/name_f] “Elfie”.

@cms1512[name_f][/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]- I love [name_f]Nairne[/name_f] [name_f]Eliza[/name_f]! There’s something so great about a show stopping name I’ve never seen before with a classic. It feels so surprising and whimsical but also familiar at the same time.

[name_f][/name_f]

@Greyblue[name_f][/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]- Big fan of [name_f]Gwenonwy[/name_f] [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] and [name_f]Mithian[/name_f] [name_f]Flora[/name_f]. I’ve been really falling in love with [name_f]Flora[/name_f] combos lately. She’s so underrated and a great match with [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] as a middle for [name_f]Gwenonwy[/name_f].

[name_f][/name_f]

@atomicginge[name_f][/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]- Your set is so gorgeous. [name_m]Orla[/name_m] [name_f]Claire[/name_f] and [name_f]Aoife[/name_f] [name_f]Nora[/name_f] as sisters is so adorable. They feel strong, but also so comfortable and warm. I feel like all your names feel like a warm sweater on a sunny autumn day.

@FreyByTheWay[name_f][/name_f] thank you so much!! [name_f]Mithian[/name_f] [name_f]Flora[/name_f] was one I’m trying out, so I’m glad you think it works and fits with Beatrix!!

@FreyByTheWay[name_f][/name_f] [name_m]Just[/name_m] taking a look through yours [name_f][/name_f]- and what a delight! [name_f]Odette[/name_f] [name_f]Lullaby[/name_f] “Dottie” is such a comforting name with a hint of sophistication too! [name_m]Rafferty[/name_m] [name_f]Joy[/name_f] is truly joyful [name_f][/name_f]- so zippy and upbeat. [name_f]Fern[/name_f] [name_f]Annika[/name_f] “Frankie” is so fun and creative [name_f][/name_f]- love that". [name_f]Luella[/name_f] [name_f]Ruby[/name_f] ‘LaRue’ is a nice balance of sweetness and sass [name_f][/name_f]- and as a sister to [name_f]Eulalie[/name_f] [name_f]Fern[/name_f] “Elfie” [name_f][/name_f], it’s lovely!

I love threads like this :smiling_face_with_three_hearts::smiling_face_with_three_hearts:[name_f][/name_f] [name_f][/name_f] I’m going to limit myself because I could easily talk about 40 combos here :joy:

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Adele[/name_f] [name_f]Petra[/name_f] [name_f]Christiana[/name_f][name_f][/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]- I love the meaning “noble” for Adele—it’s especially in honor of the members of my family who are veterans, but I love how dainty she is too. [name_f][/name_f] And [name_f]Petra[/name_f] because my favorite Bible character is [name_m]Peter[/name_m]. [name_f][/name_f] [name_f]Christiana[/name_f] especially reminds me of my grandma, whose faith meant so much to her—but also because mine means so much to me.

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] [name_f]Lærke[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f][name_f][/name_f] “Leni/Lola”[name_f][/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]- I couldn’t tell you when I fell for [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f], but she is so close to my heart. [name_f][/name_f] This may be my favorite combo on my whole list—Grace was my grandma’s middle and [name_f]Lærke[/name_f] is for my parents—my mom has a [name_m]Danish[/name_m] name and my dad loved his time in Denmark… plus my grandma loved birds.

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Olivet[/name_f] [name_f]Lyra[/name_f] [name_f]Joy[/name_f] “Liv”[name_f][/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]- I adore [name_f]Olivia[/name_f] but felt like nothing was working for a middle that felt perfect enough. [name_f][/name_f] I stumbled upon [name_f]Olivet[/name_f] and love that it reminds me of the Mt. of Olives and what [name_m]Jesus[/name_m] fought through there. [name_f][/name_f] [name_f]Lyra[/name_f] reminds me of lyres and David’s psalms. [name_f][/name_f] And [name_f]Joy[/name_f] for my grandma (who had a virtue middle too). [name_f][/name_f] [name_f]Love[/name_f] the nn Liv/Livy and the pastoral vibes I get from her, she reminds me of [name_m]David[/name_m] on his lyre in the hills of [name_m]Israel[/name_m] with his sheep, praising the [name_m]Lord[/name_m] and protecting his father’s sheep.

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Liliana[/name_f] [name_f]Plum[/name_f] [name_f]Odette[/name_f] “Lily”[name_f][/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]- I have been loving this combo so ridiculously much these past few months—it took me years but I finally feel like I found my [name_f]Lily[/name_f] combo. [name_f][/name_f] I love [name_f]Liliana[/name_f] because she honors both my grandmas (the [name_f]Lily[/name_f] part in a big way), and [name_f]Plum[/name_f] reminds me of my mom… she called me “sugar plum” growing up and I love the thought of incorporating it into a daughter’s name because of this! [name_f][/name_f] I also love to play the piano and love the music from The Nutcracker… which [name_f]Plum[/name_f] also reminds me of! [name_f][/name_f] [name_f]Odette[/name_f] is one of my very favorite names in the whole world, I just can’t see me using it up front, but I’ve adored it paired with [name_f]Liliana[/name_f] for probably decades now.

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Augustine[/name_m] [name_m]Rigel[/name_m] [name_m]Grey[/name_m] “Auggie”[name_f][/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]- though I’m not Catholic, I love the way St. [name_m]Augustine[/name_m] talks about the love of [name_m]God[/name_m]. [name_f][/name_f] I adore [name_m]Auggie[/name_m] but [name_m]August[/name_m] feels rather blah to me lately—but I love [name_m]Augustine[/name_m]! [name_f][/name_f] [name_m]Rigel[/name_m] is for my dad, some of my favorite memories with him are picking out constellations in the night sky, and [name_m]Orion[/name_m] is of special significance to us. [name_f][/name_f] [name_m]Grey[/name_m] is for my grandma. [name_f][/name_f] :heart:

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Boaz[/name_m] [name_m]Andreas[/name_m] [name_m]Henry[/name_m] “Bo”[name_f][/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]- love love love [name_m]Boaz[/name_m] nn [name_m]Bo[/name_m] to honor my other grandmother (who was a Ruth)—the tie for [name_f]Ruth[/name_f] and [name_m]Boaz[/name_m] is so fun! [name_f][/name_f] When I fell for him, I loved the idea of a [name_m]Dutch[/name_m] middle since [name_m]Boaz[/name_m] was (and maybe still is?) quite popular in the Netherlands. [name_f][/name_f] But [name_m]Boaz[/name_m] also felt sorta INSANE back in like 2015 so I felt like he needed a classic middle too. [name_f][/name_f] [name_m]Andreas[/name_m] is one of my favorite [name_m]Dutch[/name_m] names, and [name_m]Henry[/name_m] I could probably pair as a middle for literally any other name… and he has stayed one of my consistent favorites for years and years. [name_f][/name_f] I hope I’m brave enough to use him some day.

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Caspar[/name_m] [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m] [name_f]Eden[/name_f][name_f][/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]- probably my favorite combo on my boy’s list, I adore him so much! [name_f][/name_f] [name_m]Caspar[/name_m] I fell for because it was one of my best friend’s names and I love that it’s a [name_m]French[/name_m] [name_f]Christmas[/name_f] name (I have a [name_m]French[/name_m] [name_f]Christmas[/name_f] name too, as does my sister)! [name_f][/name_f] I love how internationally [name_m]Caspar[/name_m] appeals, and it would 100% also be used in honor of my friend, who passed away in almost 15 years ago. [name_f][/name_f] After all this time, I can’t bring myself to use her name (Amélie), which I love, but at least I have [name_m]Caspar[/name_m]. [name_f][/name_f] :heart:[name_f][/name_f]. [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m] is as close to my sister’s name I can get on a boy, and [name_f]Eden[/name_f] is in honor of a song I heard years ago by [name_m]Phil[/name_m] Wickham—it speaks about God’s dreams for us and what we will be restored to in heaven, and I would love to pass those dreams onto my children.

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] [name_m]Floris[/name_m] [name_m]Arthur[/name_m] “Seb(by)”[name_f][/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]- love [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m], the reminder of [name_m]Bach[/name_m] (special because I played a [name_m]Bach[/name_m] piece at one of my grandmothers’ memorials, and so it feels like my last gift to my grandma), and also the reminder of Twelfth [name_m]Night[/name_m][name_f][/name_f] which is my favorite [name_m]Shakespeare[/name_m] play and very close to my heart. [name_f][/name_f] Floral names remind me of my mom who has the greenest thumb. [name_f][/name_f] And [name_m]Arthur[/name_m] because I love it here, I love [name_m]King[/name_m] [name_m]Arthur[/name_m] stories, and in a way because it feels healing. [name_f][/name_f] [name_f]My[/name_f] therapist’s name is [name_m]Arthur[/name_m] and while I wouldn’t purposely name my son after him, I do love that for me it brings to mind restoration and healing and peace.

[name_f][/name_f]

Not all my favorites by a long shot but some of the ones that have been making me smile the biggest lately! [name_f][/name_f] :heart:

I’ve been obsessing over [name_f]Fern[/name_f] [name_f]Althea[/name_f][name_f][/name_f] the last couple of days. :white_heart:

[name_f][/name_f]

She’s got such a positive meaning in “the resilient new life that carries a healing magic,” and I absolutely adore the thought of that guiding my girl through life! Not with the thought that she can fix people, but with the thought that her kindness has the possibility to heal the world little by little. :heart_hands:t2::rainbow:

Fun thread.

[name_f][/name_f]

I’m re-doing my list so I haven’t got too many, but some I really like [name_f][/name_f]-

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Abigail[/name_f] [name_f]Ruth[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]- I love [name_f]Abigail[/name_f]. It’s serious and capable. And I really like the fiery consonants of [name_f]Abigail[/name_f] [name_f]Ruth[/name_f].

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] [name_f]Agnes[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]- I think it’s strong and vintage, even a little medieval [name_m]French[/name_m].

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Marianne[/name_f] [name_f]Isolde[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]- It’s wintry and romantic, dark blue and white.

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Josephine[/name_f] [name_f]Margot[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]- It seems stylish and put-together, but also a little playful. [name_f]Adrienne[/name_f] [name_f]Margot[/name_f] has the same qualities, and I actually don’t know which one I prefer.

[name_f]Anne[/name_f] [name_f]Victoria[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]- I don’t really know why I like this. It’s really regal and sharp, and I think I like the colors it reminds me of [name_f][/name_f]- red and purple.

[name_f]Caroline[/name_f] [name_f]Lake[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]- Smooth and clear, and has a conservative, pared-back sound despite the inclusion of [name_f]Lake[/name_f].

[name_f]Margaret[/name_f] [name_f]Clemence[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]- Maybe not the best flow in the world, but I don’t have the heart to change it yet because I love these names together. [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] is solid and heavy and the more unusual sounds and softer finish of [name_f]Clemence[/name_f] is a satisfying contrast.

[name_f]Mary[/name_f] [name_f]Augusta[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]- A very classic sound, and balance between sweet and heavy.

[name_f][/name_f]

Éamon [name_m]Gabriel[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f]- Has that nice, romantic but weighty sound and makes me think of green glass and forests.

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Leonard[/name_m] [name_m]James[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f]- Flowing, musical, yellow and brown.

I don’t know that I’d use it for an actual baby but [name_m]Dirigo[/name_m] Croí came to me awhile ago and I can’t get it out of my head. It means “I lead with my heart.” I think [name_m]Riggs[/name_m] or [name_m]Rio[/name_m] would make cute nicknames for it.
