Looking for opinions and some new ideas!

Hello friends! I hope you’re having a great day :rainbow:

For a while I felt a little lost with my name list, and wasn’t really obsessed with any of them, but I’m finally getting back into a name-ish mood, so I wanted to focus on my lists and revamp them / get some opinions! I have a good list of favorites, but I am always looking for more, so I’d love some new suggestions and to hear your general thoughts and opinions on my list!

All of these names are on my list for real children, but some are to be used as middle names only or will likely stay on the guilty pleasure list. This list features most of the names I love, but some are missing (am I the only one who tends to forget names they love?) What are your thoughts on my list? Are there any names you’d add? Any you think of as being very me?

Bonus :tulip:
I don’t have any set in stone combos at the moment, and I’m trying to build a new UC, so I figured I’d ask…
What combos would you make from the above list? Are there any sibsets that stick out to you? What vibes do you get from my name lists? Feel free to answer as many or as few of these questions as possible, I look forward to reading your thoughts!

I could happily name children from these lists, these names are amazing!

Some combo and sibset ideas ~
[name_m]Finnigan[/name_m] [name_u]Arrow[/name_u]
[name_m]Theodore[/name_m] [name_u]Wren[/name_u]

[name_u]October[/name_u] [name_m]Linus[/name_m]
[name_m]Casper[/name_m] [name_u]William[/name_u]
[name_u]Blythe[/name_u] [name_u]Sullivan[/name_u]

[name_f]Matilda[/name_f] [name_u]Blythe[/name_u]
[name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] [name_f]Alice[/name_f]
[name_f]Tabitha[/name_f] [name_f]Eve[/name_f]

[name_m]Ambrose[/name_m] [name_u]Blythe[/name_u]
[name_m]Cassian[/name_m] [name_u]George[/name_u]
[name_m]Hugo[/name_m] [name_m]Ernest[/name_m]

I would have mixed genders with the sibsets but apparently I wanted to use [name_u]Blythe[/name_u] every time so that limited me :laughing:

The only suggestion I have rn is [name_u]Lark[/name_u] (b).

My favorites from your list are Arthur, Basil, Casper, Caspian, Finn, Isidore, Leif, Percy, Agatha, Clara, Eleanor, Emma, Eve, Hazel, Iris, Matilda.

Some names that you could consider adding to your list: Alistair, Aramis, Aurelio, Bellamy, Benedict, Cliff, Finch, Gil, Isaac, Lancelot, Lev, Lucian, Anne, Beata, Dagmar, Dianna, Edith, Hebe, Hope, Juliet, Maya, Pherenike, Vera, Willow.

I’d make the following combos: Finn Isidore, Percy Gideon, Moss Theodore, Hazel Agatha, Matilda Bliss, Emma Hyacinth.

I think these names are great for siblings: Arthur & Casper, Finn & Morris, Basil & Clara, Oliver & Hazel, Alice & Viola, Bliss & Fern.

@EdgeOfTheMeadow Thank you so much! Also I only realized I completely spelt [name_u]Finnegan[/name_u] wrong in my main post after reading your reply! :rofl: Had to edit that!

@Greyblue Thank you so much for the reply! I’ve never thought of [name_m]Morris[/name_m] “Moss,” that’s so inspired! [name_u]Love[/name_u] it. The fact that [name_u]Blythe[/name_u] and [name_f]Chrysanthemum[/name_f] both feel me to you is such a compliment, I love them so much, so I’m glad that you associate them with me! I’m definitely going to add [name_u]Valentine[/name_u], [name_m]Wilbur[/name_m], and [name_f]Constance[/name_f] to the list! I’m also really liking [name_u]Killian[/name_u], [name_m]Fenwick[/name_m], [name_m]Ruben[/name_m], [name_f]Millicent[/name_f], [name_f]Elsinore[/name_f], [name_f]Wilhelmina[/name_f], and [name_u]November[/name_u]! All of your combos are to die for, and I’d happily name my children any of these, but [name_m]Horatio[/name_m] [name_u]Fox[/name_u], [name_m]Earnest[/name_m] [name_u]Henry[/name_u], [name_m]Cassian[/name_m] [name_u]Blythe[/name_u], [name_m]Otis[/name_m] [name_u]Gideon[/name_u], [name_u]Fern[/name_u] [name_f]Eloise[/name_f], and [name_f]Sophronia[/name_f] [name_f]Kate[/name_f] are really sticking out to me. [name_f]Agnes[/name_f] [name_f]Chrysanthemum[/name_f] has to be my favorite! She is absolutely gorgeous. Thanks again for the reply, I really appreciate it!

[name_m]Just[/name_m] to say, [name_f]Rosie[/name_f] and [name_f]Aimee[/name_f] are such cute nicknames for [name_m]Ambrose[/name_m]. I’ll choose double middles so if you like single middles you can choose one. I don’t know how the meanings would go together.

For some reason I like [name_u]Rowan[/name_u] [name_m]Cornelius[/name_m] [name_u]Sage[/name_u].
[name_u]October[/name_u] [name_m]Harvey[/name_m] [name_m]Edmund[/name_m] is nice

For the girls I like [name_f]Eloise[/name_f] [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] [name_u]Hazel[/name_u] and [name_f]Sophronia[/name_f] [name_f]Daphne[/name_f] [name_f]Maeve[/name_f]
