What a great list. I think they’re all beautiful.

My favorites are [name]Clara[/name] [name]Juliette[/name], [name]Adelaide[/name] [name]Ruby[/name], and [name]Lucy[/name] [name]Philomena[/name].

[ellenelle]

My top 5 favorites:

1. [name]Lucy[/name] [name]Philomena[/name] (love the sound of these together! And how [name]Lucy[/name] is so spritely and familiar while [name]Philomena[/name] is unusual)
2. [name]Cecilia[/name] [name]Lourdes[/name] (really ought to be tied at first. A fabulously unusual combination and the Ls play off one another nicely)
3. [name]Lila[/name] Kateri (I think Kateri is sweet)
4. [name]Clara[/name] [name]Juliette[/name]
5. [name]Adelaide[/name] [name]Ruby[/name]

Runner up: [name]Ava[/name] [name]Seraphine[/name] (I don’t actually care for either of these names, the first being too popular and the second too frilly for my taste. BUT they sound great together. I definitely prefer the sound of [name]Ava[/name] [name]Seraphine[/name]; I don’t like the double -a ending right in a row…)

The only ones I really don’t care for are [name]Anastasia[/name] [name]Bridget[/name] (or [name]Bridget[/name] [name]Anastasia[/name]–I like the names, but find their ethnic backgrounds so jarringly dissimilar that it’s distracting) and [name]Elena[/name] Rosary (I don’t like Rosary as a middle name; saints’ names seem much more subtle and nuanced to me). And while I don’t mind the sound, [name]Mary[/name]-[name]Kate[/name] [name]Evangeline[/name] seems awfully long to me.

[name]Lovely[/name]! Thanks for sharing.

[lyricmom]

[name]Vera[/name] [name]Josephine[/name] is my favorite by far.

[sheflieswithherownwi]

You have a beautiful list of names!

[name]Clara[/name] [name]Juliette[/name] - [name]Clara[/name] is gorgeous, how are you pronouncing it? [name]Claire[/name]-uh or Clah-ruh (the more British way)? I do actually prefer the [name]Juliet[/name] spellings and keeps the name quite simple. Either way though [name]Clara[/name] [name]Juliet[/name] or [name]Clara[/name] [name]Juliette[/name], it’s beautiful.

[name]Norah[/name] [name]Felicity[/name] - I love [name]Norah[/name] and I can see the appeal of [name]Felicity[/name], they’re not 2 names that I would normally put together but I actually find the combo quite sweet and girly.

[name]Stella[/name] [name]Genevieve[/name] - I find the names fine separately but together it’s quite a strong and hard sounding combo for a little girl. Might just be me though! Something like [name]Sophia[/name] Geneveive sounds softer.

[name]Mary[/name]-[name]Kate[/name] [name]Evangeline[/name] - I don’t like hyphenated names, and don’t see any appeal in [name]Mary[/name]. [name]Kate[/name] [name]Evangeline[/name] would be gorgeous.

[name]Charlotte[/name] [name]Victoria[/name] - This is nice enough, both names too normal for me.

[name]Lila[/name] Kateri - I love [name]Lila[/name] and obviously Kateri means a lot to you but I don’t think the whole combo flows very well.

[name]Cecilia[/name] [name]Lourdes[/name] - I think [name]Cecelia[/name]/[name]Cecilia[/name] is a beautiful name, but I don’t like [name]Lourdes[/name] - I just think of [name]Madonna[/name].

[name]Adelaide[/name] [name]Ruby[/name] - [name]Love[/name], love, love. Two gorgeous names and it flows well.

[name]Anastasia[/name] [name]Bridget[/name] - I love [name]Anastasia[/name], I’m always told it’s a little [name]OTT[/name] but that doesn’t bother me. I actually think this combo works either way; [name]Anastasia[/name] [name]Bridget[/name] or [name]Bridget[/name] [name]Anastasia[/name], I think I prefer the latter, but only just.

[name]Vera[/name] [name]Josephine[/name] - I love [name]Josephine[/name] as a middle name, and [name]Vera[/name] is kinda edgy sounding and I quite like it. Reminds me of [name]Rita[/name], which I’ve took a liking too.

[name]Lucy[/name] [name]Philomena[/name] - Not keen on this at all, [name]Lucy[/name] too bland and [name]Philomena[/name] doesn’t sound appealing.

[name]Elena[/name] Rosary - Oh I thought this was [name]Elena[/name] [name]Rosemary[/name], which I’d have loved. I dislike Rosary a lot.

[name]Ava[/name] [name]Seraphine[/name]/a - I think I prefer the look of [name]Ava[/name] [name]Seraphina[/name] but the sound of [name]Ava[/name] [name]Seraphine[/name] as I don’t like similar endings in names.

[name]Emiliana[/name] [name]Olive[/name] - [name]Emiliana[/name] is quite frilly and [name]OTT[/name] but I don’t mind that, I like the nickname [name]Emme[/name] or [name]Millie[/name] and it flows nicely with the middle name [name]Olive[/name]. I think if it were [name]Emmeline[/name], it would sound better as [name]Emmeline[/name] [name]Olivia[/name].

Favourites…
[name]Adelaide[/name] [name]Ruby[/name]
[name]Clara[/name] [name]Juliet/name
[name]Norah[/name] [name]Felicity[/name]
[name]Vera[/name] [name]Josephine[/name]
[name]Ava[/name] [name]Seraphine[/name]/a
[name]Emiliana[/name] [name]Olive[/name]/[name]Emmeline[/name] [name]Olivia[/name]

[lucystone]

[name]Clara[/name] [name]Juliette[/name] - Really don’t like [name]Juliette[/name]. Can’t associate it with anything aside from [name]Shakespeare[/name]'s character, and it’s not a character I particularly like.
[name]Norah[/name] [name]Felicity[/name] - [name]Love[/name] this!!
[name]Stella[/name] [name]Genevieve[/name] - Ok. [name]Love[/name], love, love [name]Genevieve[/name]. Not so much [name]Stelle[/name]. [name]Estelle[/name] [name]Genevieve[/name] is much better, [name]IMO[/name].
[name]Mary[/name]-[name]Kate[/name] [name]Evangeline[/name] - [name]Don[/name]'t usually like any kind of [name]Kate[/name], [name]Katie[/name], [name]Katherine[/name] names, but this is very nice. Elegant and still chic.
[name]Charlotte[/name] [name]Victoria[/name] - Beautiful.
[name]Lila[/name] Kateri - Eh. Not a fan of [name]Lila[/name].
[name]Cecilia[/name] [name]Lourdes[/name] - [name]Haven[/name]'t heard [name]Lourdes[/name] for a girl in a while. Like it a lot paired with [name]Cecilia[/name] (which is my Confirmation name!)
[name]Adelaide[/name] [name]Ruby[/name] - NMS. [name]Ruby[/name] is very old-ladyish to me.
[name]Anastasia[/name] [name]Bridget[/name] - [name]Love[/name] this. [name]Stasia[/name] is my favorite cousin’s nn (she’s also named [name]Anastasia[/name]).
[name]Vera[/name] [name]Josephine[/name] - Nice. Very 20’s.
[name]Lucy[/name] [name]Philomena[/name] - Doesn’t flow at all. [name]Lucy[/name] is very chic and classy. [name]Philomena[/name] is… not.
[name]Elena[/name] Rosary - NMS. [name]Elena[/name] [name]Rosemarie[/name] or [name]Elena[/name] [name]Marian[/name] are both nice alternatives.
[name]Ava[/name] [name]Seraphine[/name]/[name]Seraphina[/name] - NMS.
[name]Emiliana[/name] [name]Olive[/name] - Prefer Emilija. Sorry to say, but I absolutely hate [name]Olive[/name].

[trshirley74]

1. [name]Stella[/name] [name]Ruby[/name]

[ksheja]

You have a lot of nice names here. It’s hard to pick.

I guess these are my favorites:
[name]Lila[/name] Kateri I know a Kateri who is 17.
[name]Ava[/name] [name]Seraphine[/name]/[name]Seraphina[/name] (We cannot decide which we like better) I like either, and I love [name]Ava[/name] despite its popularity.
[name]Clara[/name] [name]Juliette[/name] -
[name]Norah[/name] [name]Felicity[/name]
[name]Stella[/name] [name]Genevieve[/name]
[name]Charlotte[/name] [name]Victoria[/name]
[name]Cecilia[/name] [name]Lourdes[/name]
[name]Elena[/name] Rosary -
[name]Anastasia[/name] [name]Bridget[/name] (I am pretty sure I like this order better but we are also considering [name]Bridget[/name] [name]Anastasia[/name])

These are nice too, though.
[name]Mary[/name]-[name]Kate[/name] [name]Evangeline[/name]
[name]Adelaide[/name] [name]Ruby[/name]
[name]Vera[/name] [name]Josephine[/name]
[name]Lucy[/name] [name]Philomena[/name]
[name]Emiliana[/name] [name]Olive[/name] (Could also be [name]Emmeline[/name] [name]Olive[/name])

[namelover77]

[name]Clara[/name] [name]Juliette[/name]- Beautiful and romantic. [name]Love[/name] it.
[name]Norah[/name] [name]Felicity[/name]- Not so keen on this one. Actually, really don’t like it… [name]Felicity[/name] is such a pretty name, but not with [name]Norah[/name].
[name]Stella[/name] [name]Genevieve[/name]- This combo sounds a touch exotic. Like it.
[name]Mary[/name]-[name]Kate[/name] [name]Evangeline[/name]- [name]Mary[/name]-[name]Kate[/name] reminds me too much of the [name]Olsen[/name] twin. However, [name]Evangeline[/name] is gorgeous.
[name]Charlotte[/name] [name]Victoria[/name]- Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful! Feminine and vintage.
[name]Lila[/name] Kateri- Kateri is cute, but I don’t love it with [name]Lila[/name]. [name]How[/name] about [name]Stella[/name] Kateri or [name]Elena[/name] Kateri?
[name]Cecilia[/name] [name]Lourdes[/name]- Not my favorite.
[name]Adelaide[/name] [name]Ruby[/name]- [name]Love[/name] [name]Adelaide[/name], love [name]Ruby[/name]. [name]Love[/name] [name]Adelaide[/name] [name]Ruby[/name].
[name]Anastasia[/name] [name]Bridget[/name]- See [name]Adelaide[/name] [name]Ruby[/name].
[name]Vera[/name] [name]Josephine[/name]- See [name]Anastasia[/name] [name]Bridget[/name].
[name]Lucy[/name] [name]Philomena[/name]- [name]Love[/name] [name]Lucy[/name]… Not [name]Philomena[/name].
[name]Elena[/name] Rosary- Ooh, I love the Rosary part! Pretty.
[name]Ava[/name] [name]Seraphine[/name]/[name]Seraphina[/name]- I think [name]Seraphine[/name] is the way to go on this one, but [name]Ava[/name]… Blech. [name]How[/name] about [name]Anna[/name], [name]Aviana[/name] or [name]Aviva[/name]?
[name]Emiliana[/name] [name]Olive[/name]- Like [name]Olive[/name], but maybe [name]Emelia[/name] [name]Olive[/name] is a better choice.

Good luck!

[shannonbrianna1]

Such beautiful names!! Its hard to pick my favorites because theyre all so pretty, but these are my top picks:

[name]Lila[/name] kateri
[name]Charlotte[/name] [name]Victoria[/name]
[name]Emiliana[/name] [name]Olive[/name]
[name]Lucy[/name] [name]Philomena[/name]
[name]Ava[/name] [name]Seraphina[/name]

[usagurl4]

[name]Clara[/name] [name]Juliette[/name]- I love, love, love this combination.
[name]Norah[/name] [name]Felicity[/name]- [name]Love[/name] [name]Felicity[/name], but I feel as though [name]Norah[/name] brings it down. And I’m not saying [name]Norah[/name] isn’t a great name. The two just don’t compliment eachother.
[name]Stella[/name] [name]Genevieve[/name]- [name]Genevieve[/name] to me is a name for a pet. [name]Stella[/name] is gorgeous.
[name]Mary[/name]-[name]Kate[/name] [name]Evangeline[/name]- I like [name]Mary[/name] [name]Kate[/name] alone too.
[name]Charlotte[/name] [name]Victoria[/name]- [name]Favorite[/name] from your list.
[name]Lila[/name] Kateri- I love the name [name]Lila[/name]. [name]Don[/name]'t know exactly how to pronounce Kateri.
[name]Cecilia[/name] [name]Lourdes[/name]- I never liked the name [name]Cecilia[/name]. [name]Just[/name] seems so outdated.
[name]Adelaide[/name] [name]Ruby[/name]- This is alright.
[name]Anastasia[/name] [name]Bridget[/name]/[name]Bridget[/name] [name]Anastasia[/name]- I love the name [name]Anastasia[/name]. Was once on my list. I prefer [name]Bridgit[/name] [name]Anastasia[/name], but both are lovely.
[name]Vera[/name] [name]Josephine[/name]- Not a fan.
[name]Lucy[/name] [name]Philomena[/name]- [name]Lucy[/name] is such a pretty name. I don’t think it fits a young girl, but it is wearable on an adult.
[name]Elena[/name] Rosary- I like Rosary! Never thought of it as a name option before. Unless you meant [name]Rosemary[/name] haha.
[name]Ava[/name] [name]Seraphine[/name]/[name]Seraphina[/name]- Def. [name]Seraphina[/name].
[name]Emiliana[/name] [name]Olive[/name]/[name]Emmeline[/name] [name]Olive[/name]- Not liking the [name]Emiliana[/name]. [name]Emmeline[/name] [name]Olive[/name] sounds nice.

[dillonsfan01]

Thanks everyone! Keep them coming!

Some clarifications:
I forgot to mention before but [name]Mary[/name]-[name]Kate[/name] [name]Evangeline[/name] could also be [name]Kate[/name] [name]Evangeline[/name].
Kateri is pronounced (Kuh-tare-ee) (tare rhyming with hair)
[name]Philomena[/name] is there for the saint connection which is very special to me
Rosary is meant to be Rosary! The name [name]Rosemary[/name] makes me cringe actually it is just so harsh [name]IMO[/name]

[Dantea]

[name]Clara[/name] [name]Juliette[/name] – lovely! I love the way these sound together
[name]Norah[/name] [name]Felicity[/name] – [name]Felicity[/name] is boring to me, but the combo is nice
[name]Stella[/name] [name]Genevieve[/name] – oh love it! I would like it slightly better as [name]Genevieve[/name] [name]Stella[/name], the flow is better and I just generally like [name]Genevieve[/name] better
[name]Mary[/name]-[name]Kate[/name] [name]Evangeline[/name] – [name]Mary[/name]-[name]Kate[/name] makes me think of [name]Mary[/name]-[name]Kate[/name] [name]Olsen[/name]. [name]Maria[/name]-[name]Kate[/name] would be lovely with [name]Evangeline[/name]
[name]Charlotte[/name] [name]Victoria[/name] – lovely and regal sounding. I love it! I’ve always sort of liked [name]Victoria[/name]
[name]Lila[/name] Kateri – I’m so glad you’re keeping Kateri! I love [name]Lila[/name] Kateri and I think it sound just perfect.
[name]Cecilia[/name] [name]Lourdes[/name] – eh. [name]Lourdes[/name] makes me think of [name]Madonna[/name] (that’s her daughters name I think) and [name]Cecilia[/name] is all old lady to me as the only one I know is 80
[name]Adelaide[/name] [name]Ruby[/name] – [name]Adelaide[/name] sounds so southern bell to me! The combo sounds fine though
[name]Anastasia[/name] [name]Bridget[/name] – [name]Bridget[/name] [name]Anastasia[/name] has a better flow, but I love [name]Anastasia[/name] a lot better and I think this combo is gorgeous!
[name]Vera[/name] [name]Josephine[/name] – It’s nice, but a little bland
[name]Lucy[/name] [name]Philomena[/name] – [name]Lucy[/name] is one of those names I can’t picture on a grown woman.
[name]Elena[/name] Rosary – Rosary? Like Rosary beads? I like the way it sounds though, very lovely
[name]Ava[/name] [name]Seraphine[/name] – I like it better this way, the double A endings are weird in this one. Very pretty!
[name]Emiliana[/name] [name]Olive[/name] – I think [name]Emmeline[/name] [name]Olive[/name] has better flow, but I like [name]Emiliana[/name] a lot more. It’s unexpected and a little princessy and I love it.

[dillonsfan01]

@dantea - I really like [name]Maria[/name]-[name]Kate[/name] too [name]Maria[/name] is family name so that would work out really well. I met an elderly woman at church the other day and her name was Rosary, like Rosary beads, and I fell in love with it. She was one of 15 kids and she told me they ran out of saints names haha! She went by [name]Susie[/name] for short but I still loved the idea of Rosary

[ladymacsteph]

I like most of these.

[name]Clara[/name] [name]Juliette[/name]- I like the romance of this.
[name]Norah[/name] [name]Felicity[/name]- A little more sensible-sounding than some of your other combos, but still very pretty.
[name]Stella[/name] [name]Genevieve[/name]- I don’t like this one quite as much, but I’m not sure why. I think these are both good names, mind you. But I don’t love them together. Probably personal preference.
[name]Mary[/name]-[name]Kate[/name] [name]Evangeline[/name]- I don’t like [name]Mary[/name]-[name]Kate[/name] very much; it just reminds me of [name]Mary[/name]-[name]Kate[/name] [name]Olsen[/name]. [name]Maria[/name]-[name]Kate[/name], on the other hand, sounds much more fresh. And I love [name]Maria[/name]!
[name]Charlotte[/name] [name]Victoria[/name]- a good name, but I’m a bit bored with [name]Charlotte[/name]
[name]Lila[/name] Kateri (Kateri is my Confirmation name and is not going anywhere)- I like Kateri, but I knew one and she pronounced it kah-teer-ee. I guess either she mispronounced it or maybe it was another name entirely…I think her parents were from [name]India[/name] perhaps? Anyway, I like Kateri but not with [name]Lila[/name].
[name]Cecilia[/name] [name]Lourdes[/name]- [name]Cecilia[/name] is nice, but [name]Lourdes[/name] just seems so…sad. I don’t think it’s nearly as pretty as your other options.
[name]Adelaide[/name] [name]Ruby[/name]- Another nice name that I just find a bit bland
[name]Anastasia[/name] [name]Bridget[/name] (I am pretty sure I like this order better but we are also considering [name]Bridget[/name] [name]Anastasia[/name])- I [name]LOVE[/name] this one! It works either way, but I think I like [name]Anastasia[/name] first.
[name]Vera[/name] [name]Josephine[/name]- This is like [name]Norah[/name] [name]Felicity[/name] to me. Sensible and pretty.
[name]Lucy[/name] [name]Philomena[/name]- [name]Philomena[/name] is fun. [name]Lucy[/name] is nice, but just nice.
[name]Elena[/name] Rosary- I’d prefer [name]Rosario[/name] or [name]Rosaria[/name]. Rosary is a nice sound though, and obviously quite important to you.
[name]Ava[/name] [name]Seraphine[/name]/[name]Seraphina[/name] (We cannot decide which we like better)- I think I prefer [name]Seraphine[/name] just so the ends don’t match. [name]Ava[/name] is overdone but it’s gorgeous with [name]Seraphine[/name]
[name]Emiliana[/name] [name]Olive[/name] (Could also be [name]Emmeline[/name] [name]Olive[/name])- I like [name]Emmeline[/name] [name]Olive[/name] better depending on how you’re pronouncing it. I prefer -line. [name]Emiliana[/name] is good, but I really love [name]Emmeline[/name] with [name]Olive[/name].

My favorites:
[name]Anastasia[/name] [name]Bridget[/name]
[name]Ava[/name] [name]Seraphine[/name]
[name]Clara[/name] [name]Juliette[/name]
[name]Emmeline[/name] [name]Olive[/name]
I also love Kateri, but now I’m confused why the girl I knew pronounced it kah-teer-ee! It would be nice if you could use it somehow.
