I’m slowly whittling down my massive list of crushes for what’ll eventually (hopefully!) only be a top 10, and I’ve started looking at combos (because, I’m apparently incapable of deciding before I get invested in a handful of combos!).
So far, I have:
[name]Zara[/name] [name]Audrey[/name]
[name]Zara[/name] [name]Felicity[/name]
[name]Zara[/name] [name]Madeleine[/name]
[name]Zara[/name] [name]Natalie[/name] (my sister’s name. I’m super picky about where I like it, so if I find a combo I like with it, I run with it!)
[name]Zara[/name] [name]Penelope[/name]
[name]Audrey[/name], [name]Felicity[/name], and [name]Penelope[/name] are just deep loves that didn’t make it as a FN–I can really see me using either as a MN. And [name]Madeleine[/name] I’ve loved for eons. 
Any other ideas? None of these really strike me as “it”, but I do definitely love all of them. I like the idea of something classy, feminine, and on the longer side. I’m tossing around [name]Zara[/name] [name]Charlotte[/name] and [name]Zara[/name] [name]Catherine[/name], but I’m not sure if I love them to the extent that I love these.
[name]Zara[/name] [name]Penelope[/name] is my favorite out of those.
[name]Zara[/name] [name]Louise[/name]
[name]Zara[/name] [name]Mae[/name]
[name]Zara[/name] [name]Jane[/name]
[name]Zara[/name] [name]Wren[/name]
[name]Zara[/name] [name]Elizabeth[/name]
[name]Zara[/name] [name]Margaret[/name]
[name]Zara[/name] [name]Jeannine[/name]
[name]Zara[/name] [name]Sophia[/name]
[name]Zara[/name] [name]Dae[/name]
I really like [name]Zara[/name] [name]Madeleine[/name], [name]Zara[/name] [name]Charlotte[/name] and [name]Zara[/name] [name]Felicity[/name].
[name]Zara[/name] [name]Natalie[/name] is nice, too!

Thanks, ladies! I quite love [name]Zara[/name] [name]Elisabeth[/name], and I adore [name]Josephine[/name] and [name]Gwendolyn[/name], but I’m not sure about them with [name]Zara[/name]. I do think I prefer [name]Zara[/name] [name]Gwendolyn[/name] of the two. I love the connection The Importance of Being [name]Earnest[/name], and I’ve loved [name]Gwendolyn[/name] for at least a decade. I really, really love [name]Zara[/name] [name]Blythe[/name] and [name]Zara[/name] [name]Noelle[/name], too, but I’m not sure what I’d do for a second middle–I usually use a family middle in the second spot, but [name]Noelle[/name] and [name]Blythe[/name] are already so short. And [name]Noelle[/name] also happens to be a family name, as well, so I’m not sure what else I’d pair with it? Unless I did something like [name]Zara[/name] [name]Blythe[/name] [name]Noelle[/name] or [name]Zara[/name] [name]Noelle[/name] [name]Blythe[/name], but I’m not sure I really like the pairing of [name]Blythe[/name] and [name]Noelle[/name]…
[name]Zara[/name] [name]Adeline[/name]

Ooh, @alzora, I love [name]Zara[/name] [name]Emmeline[/name]! I had considered [name]Zara[/name] [name]Lilibet[/name] a while ago, the last time [name]Zara[/name] was on my radar, but people said it was too British-royal, with [name]Zara[/name] [name]Phillips[/name] and [name]Lilibet[/name] being the queen’s nickname–thoughts? [name]Do[/name] you think that’d be a problem?
[name]How[/name] about [name]Zara[/name] [name]Blythe[/name] [name]Emmeline[/name]?
@judyariel - thanks for the idea, but I want a family name in there, and [name]Zara[/name], [name]Emmeline[/name], and [name]Blythe[/name] all wouldn’t be honoring. I do think [name]Zara[/name] [name]Emmeline[/name] [name]Blythe[/name] would be pretty stunning for someone else to use, though!
@charshi - thanks for the ideas! That’s exactly along the lines I was thinking, although [name]Isabelle[/name], [name]Evangeline[/name], and [name]Ophelia[/name] are already on my list, so I don’t really want to repeat those, and [name]Isabelle[/name] and [name]Annabelle[/name] is too much, I think. And I’m not especially loving [name]Josephine[/name] or [name]Francesca[/name] with [name]Zara[/name]. If I didn’t already have [name]Violet[/name] [name]Ophelia[/name] [name]Claire[/name] on my list, though, I would seriously consider [name]Zara[/name] [name]Ophelia[/name]–it’s very pretty!
[name]Zara[/name] [name]Madeleine[/name] is stunning. I think [name]Zara[/name] [name]Felicity[/name] is very pretty as well.
Thanks, ladies! I think [name]Zara[/name] [name]Madeleine[/name] is actually off the table. It’s my longest standing favorite and I never thought I’d get rid of it, but I think I honestly like all the others more than it at the moment. So the standing list is:
[name]Zara[/name] [name]Audrey[/name]
[name]Zara[/name] [name]Felicity[/name]
[name]Zara[/name] [name]Natalie[/name]
[name]Zara[/name] [name]Penelope[/name]
And I’m thinking of adding [name]Zara[/name] [name]Helene[/name] (or maybe [name]Zara[/name] [name]Helena[/name]?) or [name]Zara[/name] [name]Rebecca[/name], in honor of my other sister. I’m really liking both right now…
