Looking for some combo help!

[name_m]Hi[/name_m] everybody!

I’ve been trying to come up with some new combos for my list/signature, and I’ve not been doing very well, so I thought I’d turn to all you wonderful people. I’d ideally like to not repeat any names that are currently on my signature. I tend to try have at least one familiar name in each combo, but I also like a bit of whimsy and flair, as I’m far off from being a mother, so I can in indulge in slightly fantastical names.

I’d like to come up with some double middle combos using the following names as first names. There’s also a few questions thrown in there too. [name_f]TIA[/name_f] for any help, I recognise there’s a lot of stuff here!

[name_m]Amadeus[/name_m] - I’ve had [name_m]Amadeus[/name_m] [name_m]Bravery[/name_m] [name_m]Pierre[/name_m], which I liked, but the flow wasn’t fab and the combo felt a bit too much.

([name_u]Jean[/name_u]-)[name_m]Baptiste[/name_m] - I’ve had [name_m]Hugo[/name_m] [name_m]Baptiste[/name_m] ([name_u]Avery[/name_u]) but I’d like to try it out as a first name. I’d love to use the full [name_u]Jean[/name_u]-[name_m]Baptiste[/name_m] potentially, but the hyphen throws up the issue of whether you use one or two middle names.

[name_m]Benedict[/name_m] or [name_m]Benoit[/name_m] - I had [name_m]Benoit[/name_m] [name_m]Erasmus[/name_m] [name_m]Cove[/name_m] but I don’t think it flows. I love both [name_m]Benedict[/name_m] and [name_m]Benoit[/name_m], but they are basically the same name, so I can’t really have both on my list.

[name_m]Caspian[/name_m] - a long time love of mine. I’ve had [name_m]Caspian[/name_m] [name_m]Valentino[/name_m] on my list for ages, but I’d like a two middle combo. So maybe a second middle for [name_m]Caspian[/name_m]?

[name_m]Cosmo[/name_m] - another one that’s been on my list for years. I’ve had it as [name_m]Cosmo[/name_m] [name_m]Maximilian[/name_m], but I’m not 100% sold on the combo. Maybe a lighter second middle or just a different double middle all together?

[name_m]Emmanuel[/name_m] - on my list as [name_u]Jude[/name_u] Larkspur [name_m]Emmanuel[/name_m], and I’ve had [name_m]Alasdair[/name_m] [name_m]Emmanuel[/name_m] Castle at some point as well. I’d like to have it as a first name though, which would mean I’d rejig my [name_u]Jude[/name_u] combo.

[name_m]Ezra[/name_m] - I’ve had a few [name_m]Ezra[/name_m] combos over the years ([name_m]Ezra[/name_m] [name_m]Phineas[/name_m] [name_m]Valentino[/name_m], [name_m]Ezra[/name_m] [name_m]Quentin[/name_m] [name_m]Ptolemy[/name_m] and
[name_m]Ezra[/name_m] [name_m]Sol[/name_m] [name_m]Thackeray[/name_m]) but I’m not sold on any of them.

[name_m]Ivo[/name_m] - a long time love but I’ve never found a combo for it.

[name_m]Leander[/name_m] - Someone suggested [name_m]Leander[/name_m] [name_m]Julian[/name_m] [name_m]Knight[/name_m] to me, which I like, but I’m not 100% sold on.

[name_u]Luca[/name_u] - I’ve had this as [name_m]Raphael[/name_m] [name_m]Cyprian[/name_m] [name_u]Luca[/name_u], but I’d like it as a first name.

[name_m]Marius[/name_m] - currently on my signature in my [name_m]Apollo[/name_m] [name_m]Marius[/name_m] [name_u]Blue[/name_u] combo, but I’m not such a fan of this any more, partly because I feel [name_m]Apollo[/name_m] is a bit much as a first name. I really like the three names together though. Would [name_m]Marius[/name_m] [name_m]Apollo[/name_m] [name_u]Blue[/name_u] work? Other suggestions would be appreciated to…

[name_m]Maximilian[/name_m] - it’s super super common in my area, but I love it anyway. I’ve had [name_m]Edmund[/name_m] [name_u]Kit[/name_u] [name_m]Maximilian[/name_m] and [name_m]Cosmo[/name_m] [name_m]Maximilian[/name_m], but I’d love it as a first name. I really like [name_u]Kit[/name_u] with [name_m]Maximilian[/name_m] for some reason.

[name_m]Otis[/name_m] - I love this, but I don’t have it in any combos.

[name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] - one of my all time faves, but I’ve never made a combo I like for it.

[name_u]Theo[/name_u] - I used to have [name_u]Theo[/name_u] [name_m]Fox[/name_m] [name_m]Raphael[/name_m], which I still like, but I think I can find something I’d prefer. I like [name_m]Fox[/name_m] with [name_u]Theo[/name_u].

[name_m]Tobias[/name_m] - I’ve liked this for a long time. I’ve had [name_m]Tobias[/name_m] [name_u]Emerson[/name_u] (Brave) and [name_m]Tobias[/name_m] [name_m]Jonah[/name_m] [name_f]Sundance[/name_f]. Neither of them do it for me any longer.

[name_m]Wilder[/name_m] - currently in my signature as [name_m]Fabian[/name_m] [name_m]Icarus[/name_m] [name_m]Wilder[/name_m], which I adore, but I’d love to have [name_m]Wilder[/name_m] as a first. I’ve had [name_m]Wilder[/name_m] [name_m]Mateo[/name_m] [name_m]Sylvain[/name_m] and [name_m]Wilder[/name_m] [name_m]Sylvain[/name_m] before, but I’m not a huge fan of [name_m]Sylvain[/name_m] any longer. However if I did [name_m]Wilder[/name_m] [name_m]Mateo[/name_m] name, I’d have to rejig both the [name_m]Fabian[/name_m] and [name_m]Dominic[/name_m] combos.

[name_m]William[/name_m]/[name_m]Fitzwilliam[/name_m] - I’ve had [name_m]Fitzwilliam[/name_m] [name_m]Raphael[/name_m] and [name_m]Hugo[/name_m] [name_m]Fitzwilliam[/name_m], but neither of these do it for me.

If I can find combos for [name_m]Emmanuel[/name_m] and [name_m]Wilder[/name_m], I’d have to find combos for/change around the names below:

[name_u]Jude[/name_u] (Larkspur)
[name_m]Fabian[/name_m] ([name_m]Icarus[/name_m])

Here’s some names I’d love in the middle spot:

[name_m]Absalom[/name_m]
[name_m]Alexander[/name_m]
[name_m]Apollo[/name_m]
[name_m]Avraham[/name_m]
[name_m]Bravery[/name_m]
[name_u]Columba[/name_u]/[name_m]Columbus[/name_m]
[name_m]Cove[/name_m]
[name_u]Drew[/name_u]
[name_u]Emerson[/name_u]
Evergreen
[name_u]Indigo[/name_u]
[name_u]Jules[/name_u]
[name_u]Kit[/name_u]
[name_m]Llewellyn[/name_m]
[name_m]Marius[/name_m]
[name_u]Marlowe[/name_u]
[name_u]Mars[/name_u]
[name_m]Milo[/name_m]
[name_m]Orlando[/name_m]
[name_m]Otto[/name_m]
[name_m]Pierre[/name_m]
[name_m]Rafferty[/name_m]
[name_u]Rio[/name_u]
[name_m]Santiago[/name_m]
[name_m]Socrates[/name_m]
[name_f]Sundance[/name_f]
Théophile
[name_m]Valentino[/name_m]

Does anyone else have any ideas?

[name_u]Luca[/name_u] [name_m]Orlando[/name_m] [name_m]Marius[/name_m] or [name_u]Luca[/name_u] [name_m]Marius[/name_m] [name_m]Orlando[/name_m]

Five ideas for now -

[name_m]Emmanuel[/name_m] [name_m]Casimir[/name_m] [name_u]Jules[/name_u]
[name_m]Cosmo[/name_m] [name_m]Llewellyn[/name_m] [name_m]Pierre[/name_m]
[name_m]Ezra[/name_m] [name_m]Marius[/name_m] [name_m]Cove[/name_m]
[name_m]Wilder[/name_m] [name_m]Octavian[/name_m] [name_u]Marlowe[/name_u]
[name_u]Theo[/name_u] [name_m]Rafferty[/name_m] [name_m]Fox[/name_m]

[name_m]Ezra[/name_m] [name_m]Julian[/name_m] [name_m]Knight[/name_m] (instead of with [name_m]Leander[/name_m])
[name_m]Benedict[/name_m] [name_u]Rio[/name_u] [name_u]Frost[/name_u]
[name_m]Marius[/name_m] [name_f]Topaz[/name_f] [name_m]Gabriel[/name_m]
[name_m]Otis[/name_m] Evergreen [name_u]Columba[/name_u]
[name_m]Caspian[/name_m] [name_u]Marlowe[/name_u] [name_u]Grey[/name_u]
[name_m]Ivo[/name_m] [name_m]Caspian[/name_m] [name_m]Leif[/name_m]
[name_m]Tobias[/name_m] [name_u]Rio[/name_u] [name_u]Drew[/name_u]
[name_m]Amadeus[/name_m] [name_u]Kai[/name_u] [name_u]Indigo[/name_u]

Good luck! Please excuse any repeats!

Thank you! I love [name_m]Emmanuel[/name_m] [name_m]Casimir[/name_m] [name_u]Jules[/name_u], [name_m]Cosmo[/name_m] [name_m]Llewellyn[/name_m] [name_m]Pierre[/name_m] and [name_m]Wilder[/name_m] [name_m]Octavian[/name_m] [name_u]Marlowe[/name_u]! They all have that European flair and slightly upper crust-y feel that I adore!

Thank you for commenting on both threads! I really like [name_m]Benedict[/name_m] [name_u]Rio[/name_u] (although I’m not sure about [name_u]Frost[/name_u] here, it feels a bit too descriptive - river frost), [name_m]Otis[/name_m] Evergreen [name_u]Columba[/name_u] and [name_m]Caspian[/name_m] [name_u]Marlowe[/name_u] [name_u]Grey[/name_u]. I also love the [name_m]Marius[/name_m] combo, but I’m slightly worried about the similarities between the endings of [name_m]Marius[/name_m] & [name_f]Topaz[/name_f]. I think I might switch the [name_m]Amadeus[/name_m] combo to [name_m]Amadeus[/name_m] [name_u]Indigo[/name_u] [name_u]Kai[/name_u] - I adore that! Thanks so much for your help!
