[name_f]Saffron[/name_f] [name_f]Alessandra[/name_f] and [name_f]Saffron[/name_f] [name_f]Esmeralda[/name_f] both sound and look just gorgeous (at least to my ear and eye) ! I think they both have a good mix of soft, whimsical, and strong. My only hang up with [name_f]Saffron[/name_f] [name_f]Esmeralda[/name_f] is that it almost sounds like Yellow [name_u]Green[/name_u] (though obvs not that obvs), since they are both color/nature names. I am not personally a fan of [name_f]Melisande[/name_f].

I picked [name_f]Saffron[/name_f] [name_f]Melisande[/name_f]. Something about the vowel beginnings of [name_f]Alessandra[/name_f] and [name_f]Esmeralda[/name_f] next to [name_f]Saffron[/name_f] sounds off to me.

I prefer the flow of [name_f]Saffron[/name_f] [name_f]Alessandra[/name_f].

I like [name_f]Saffron[/name_f] [name_f]Alessandra[/name_f] and [name_f]Saffron[/name_f] [name_f]Esmeralda[/name_f] the best! I like the idea of [name_f]Alessandra[/name_f] better with [name_f]Saffron[/name_f], but I like the way [name_f]Saffron[/name_f] [name_f]Esmeralda[/name_f] even more, I think. [name_f]Melisande[/name_f] is a fine name–I just have never been able to get into her. :slight_smile:

[name_f]Saffron[/name_f] [name_f]Esmeralda[/name_f] is gorgeous!

[name_f]Saffron[/name_f] [name_f]Melisande[/name_f] has such a magical and enchanted feel about it, it feels like a name out of a fantasy or historical novel, but isn’t so out-there as to be unwearable.

I voted [name_f]Saffron[/name_f] [name_f]Alessandra[/name_f]. There’s a flair to it that really stands out, even though [name_f]Alessandra[/name_f] is arguably the most common of the middle names.

[name_f]Saffron[/name_f] [name_f]Esmerelda[/name_f] is gorgeous, but I just feel hit by a wave of color, since both names evoke strong imagery for me. The imagery is quite beautiful but just a little aggressive to me, if that makes sense. [name_f]Saffron[/name_f] [name_f]Melisande[/name_f] is also nice, but I find -n and M- juxtaposed never flows off my tongue quite right - although this is a minor offense if it is your favorite.
