Longest Combos?

So I just realized I’ve had one combo set in stone since I was a child! It’s kind of crazy to think I’ve liked one particular setup that long so it made me curious what everyone else’s longest standing combos are?

As for me, I’ve always had [name_f]Anna[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] [name_f]Marie[/name_f] on every combo list I’ve made (that I can remember, of course) with intentions of using the nickname [name_f]Anne[/name_f]-[name_f]Marie[/name_f]. To this day, I would still be over the moon if my future SO agreed to name our hypothetical daughter [name_f]Anne[/name_f]-[name_f]Marie[/name_f]. :slight_smile:

My longest standing boys combo, [name_m]Rhett[/name_m] [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m], is only a few years old. I uprooted my boys list and started over a few years ago due to a stretch of time when I had truly terrible taste in names and the only option was to purge everything. The memories still remain, however. shudder

I don’t think I really have any long-standing combos anymore, as when S/O and I started discussing names, I started over with my list so we could find names we both loved. I definitely have long standing names on my list though - [name_u]Kennedy[/name_u], [name_f]Annabelle[/name_f], [name_u]Aspen[/name_u], [name_f]Ella[/name_f], [name_u]Addison[/name_u], [name_u]Brooklyn[/name_u], [name_u]Delaney[/name_u], [name_f]Ava[/name_f], [name_f]Kaylee[/name_f], [name_f]Kaitlyn[/name_f], [name_u]Allison[/name_u], [name_u]Hadley[/name_u], [name_u]Mackenzie[/name_u] and [name_u]Morgan[/name_u] have all been on my girls list for about 8+ years (though ones like [name_u]Kennedy[/name_u] and [name_f]Annabelle[/name_f] have been on for about 13!).

Combo wise, the only ones I can think of that I’ve kept for quite a while are [name_f]Ella[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f], [name_f]Ava[/name_f] [name_f]Catherine[/name_f] and maybe [name_f]Kaitlyn[/name_f] [name_f]Sophia[/name_f].

For boys, most of my list has been around for a while - [name_m]Aaron[/name_m], [name_m]Daniel[/name_m], [name_m]Christopher[/name_m], [name_m]Andrew[/name_m], [name_m]Matthew[/name_m], [name_u]James[/name_u]/[name_u]Jamie[/name_u], [name_u]Michael[/name_u], [name_u]Hunter[/name_u], [name_m]Landon[/name_m], but combos, I think [name_m]Landon[/name_m] [name_m]Christopher[/name_m] is probably my longest standing out of them all.

I know I’m going to forget some. I have quite a few because all the names honor and have had a special place in my heart for a long time. I have had most of these combos for around 3-3.5 years, was not into creating combos until I discovered NB.

~double post~

[name_f]Mary[/name_f] [name_f]Odilia[/name_f]-[name_f]Lark[/name_f] is by far my longest standing combo. You can tell because it has a hyphenated middle, which was a holdover from when I used double middles.

For boys, I’m not really sure, but I’m tempted to say [name_m]David[/name_m] [name_m]Malachy[/name_m]. I’ve shuffled the same 15 or so boys names around for years and I’m finallygetting some fresh ideas.

EDIT: William River was one of the first combos I made when I joined Nameberry and it’s back on my signature.

There are some names on my list that have been there a long time but my combos have changed because my style is changing lately. I think I had [name_f]Calista[/name_f] [name_f]Iris[/name_f] or [name_f]Calista[/name_f] [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] & [name_m]Caius[/name_m] [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] (now switched because of the connecting S) in 2013. I also had [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] [name_m]Atlas[/name_m] in 2013 but I [name_m]JUST[/name_m] (like yesterday) took that off my list.

I’ve kinda fallen out of love with [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] & [name_f]Iris[/name_f] is not a top favorite anymore.

[name_f]Seraphina[/name_f] (2011) the oldest name on my list has turned into [name_f]Seraphine[/name_f] / [name_f]Serafina[/name_f]
[name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] I remember loving at least since 2012
[name_f]Rosalie[/name_f] (2012)
[name_u]Everett[/name_u] (2012)
Esmée (2012)

I found a comment on my listography mentioning [name_f]Mirabelle[/name_f] [name_f]Iris[/name_f] in 2011. I still love this combo but again not a top favorite.

I probably liked these a little earlier but I can’t remember (I’ve been into names since 2008/9). I do have a list that was last edited in 2012 (started 2010) that has these names on it so that’s the only reason I know.

[name_f]Imogen[/name_f] [name_f]Elspeth[/name_f] and [name_f]Imogen[/name_f] [name_f]Amelia[/name_f] ([name_f]Amelia[/name_f] for [name_f]Amy[/name_f] Pond for [name_m]Doctor[/name_m] Who) were my original combos for [name_f]Imogen[/name_f], which was my favourite name from around age 8. My current combo is [name_f]Imogen[/name_f] [name_f]Amelia[/name_f] [name_f]Elspeth[/name_f], so that’s my oldest. Other than that, my oldest combos are pretty much my favourite names. [name_f]Pandora[/name_f] and [name_m]Caspian[/name_m] have been my favourites for years, so I spent a while changing and perfecting their combos early on, and haven’t changed them much.

[name_m]Myles[/name_m] [name_m]Reuben[/name_m] was my longest standing combo for a boy, but then I split them up as I preferred [name_m]Reuben[/name_m] as a first name, then [name_m]Myles[/name_m] went stale and now it’s [name_m]Milo[/name_m] [name_m]Reuben[/name_m]. Sort of. Maybe [name_m]Reuben[/name_m] [name_m]Milo[/name_m]. Or just separate names lol, but I sometimes go back to [name_m]Myles[/name_m] [name_m]Reuben[/name_m] because I do love it.

[name_u]Jude[/name_u] [name_m]Anthony[/name_m] was also a name that I had for a good few years. It’s an honour name though and although it’s still one of my favourite [name_u]Jude[/name_u] combos, middle names that honour family aren’t my thing right now.

For girls, it’s [name_f]Cerys[/name_f] [name_f]Autumn[/name_f]. I have had that combo for a good few years, too. Same goes for [name_f]Freya[/name_f] [name_f]Jolie[/name_f] and [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f] “[name_f]Daisy[/name_f]” [name_f]Iris[/name_f].

From when I was a small girl I have had two combos,
Yve$ [name_m]Rainier[/name_m] and
Im0gen [name_f]Miranda[/name_f] -they may have been in a different order sometimes. They are family names. Occasionally I see either [name_m]Yves[/name_m] and /or [name_m]Rainier[/name_m] and smile since it for me, is a family name. All the combos I had were family names. I have only ever used [name_f]Miranda[/name_f].
My first combo from 1st year Uni was
[name_m]Dominic[/name_m] [name_m]Raphael[/name_m] and not very often I take it off to make room for a new one.
[name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] Y0rke is a friend’s name and I have mixed and matched that for maybe 15 years!!
I am liking [name_f]Savannah[/name_f] [name_m]Yorke[/name_m] at present but I forever will love Eli1zabeth’s name.
