More feedback on combos and signatures!

General Name Discussion

There’s another user here who gives out feedback on names. I hope she doesn’t mind that I want to start doing the same! If I am out of line, the mods can remove this thread.

I love reviewing stuff at length, and would like to give my input on your name choices. Please leave a comment here about the names that you want reviewed (it can be your whole signature).

Yes, I like weird names myself but I understand that other people have different tastes and will judge accordingly!

[name_m]Don[/name_m]'t review the pp’s signature, this is not the same as the ‘Rate the previous signature’ thread!

@mimimoo92:

[name_f]Bonnie[/name_f]: I love this name and its meaning (“pretty”). It’s cute, but perfectly acceptable for an adult.

[name_u]Oakley[/name_u]: not for me, but I appreciate that there’s some history behind it and that it relates to a cool tree.

[name_f]Willow[/name_f]: this name sounds beautiful and is the word for one hell of a tree. Splendid.

[name_u]Indigo[/name_u]: I don’t quite like the sound of this name.

[name_u]Ellery[/name_u]: Apparently related to [name_u]Hilary[/name_u] (“hilarious”), but it sounds rather made up to me. Like a fancier, home-made version of [name_f]Ellen[/name_f] or [name_f]Ella[/name_f].

Boys;

[name_m]Lorcan[/name_m]: I have mixed feelings about this. It sounds pretty cool, but also like it could be a medication?

[name_m]Knox[/name_m]: I don’t really like surnames for names and it reminds me of [name_m]John[/name_m] [name_m]Knox[/name_m]. Which is fine if you are a fan of his.

[name_u]Arlo[/name_u]: Probably my least favorite on your list. Too trendy, with vague origins. I don’t really care for the sound or the look of it. Sorry!

[name_m]Wyatt[/name_m]: It’s a bit quirky, but also familiar. Not my personal style, but a nice enough name.

[name_m]Fletcher[/name_m]: Occupational names are not my thing. I do like the sound and look of [name_m]Fletcher[/name_m], though!

@tranquilstars:

Little Lambs

Lucy Marigold: very pretty combo. Soft and elegant, with Marigold being extravagant and Lucy bringing some nuance.

Evangeline Cora: I love both of these, especially Cora. And it has the same effect as Lucy Marigold where it’s beautiful but humble in a way.

Winifred Bea: I am not crazy about Bea, or any of its other forms (Beatrix, Beatrice). Winifred is okay, but the “Fred” part is so masculine to me.

Matilda Jane: I like Matilda, but think Jane is way too dull. It’s nice enough, but not very special.

Clara Sophie: I like Sophie, but prefer Claire over Clara.

Josephine Eva: Not a fan of Josephine, because I focus on the “Joseph” part, which is masculine. I also don’t really like how it sounds. Eva is okay, but rather mundane.

Olive Eleanor: Both of these are beautiful. Olive is very cute and pretty. Eleanor is great, with lots of nickname potential.

Thomas Avery: I like Thomas, but Avery sounds too trendy. I do like the origins of Avery, but much prefer other names that relate to elves and/or wisdom, like Alfred.

Ellis Maxwell: Ellis is cute, but I think it’s better for a girl? I guess it could work for boys too. It’s just unusual. Maxwell is not my style.

Asher Flynn: Not a fan of either of these. They sound a bit too trendy and like last names.

Bennett August: I am not a fan of Bennett, but August/Augustus is a gorgeous name.

Truman Callum: I love Callum and I am always surprised that it’s not more popular than it is. Truman is okay, but I don’t think it’s great as a first name.

Leo Watson: Leo is nice, but I much prefer it as a nickname for something more “official” like Leopold. Not a fan of Watson.

Henry Sawyer: I prefer Henry over Sawyer, but I think Sawyer is nice too. It is one of those cases in which a last name works as a first name, imo.

Sally Coraline: Coraline is my latest obsession. A wonderful name with a hint of quirkiness. Sally is cute.

Pollyanna Maisie: I like Maisie a lot. It’s very pretty. Pollyanna is okay, but I really like the nickname Polly.

Darlene Blythe: Darlene is beautiful. It sounds strong and feminine at the same time. Blythe is not my style.

Mabel Dorothy: Mabel is a cool old people name that I’m glad to see coming back into style. Dorothy doesn’t feel quite ready for a comeback, and feels a bit precious/posh.

Ethan Wells: Not a fan of either of these, sorry. Ethan is so 90s, and Wells reminds me of Wells Fargo.

Benjamin Reeve: Benjamin is classic. I am not a fan of Reeve.

Alden Emory: I don’t really like either of those, sorry.

Truman Seth: Seth is a beautiful name and pretty timeless!

My whole signature would be great!

6

My signature would also be appreciated. [name_m]Just[/name_m] for clarification, her name is pronounced “keer-ee-ay” and “el-ay-uh-son”. Both words are Greek and mean “[name_m]Lord[/name_m] have mercy”

[name_f]Hope[/name_f] you’re still doing this lol

7

hey! two cents for your thoughts…

  1. Eska? so far i have had a good response especially with the combo Eska [name_f]Sunday[/name_f]… what are your thoughts and any good combos for her?
  2. if you could do my girls sig that’d be great! but it is a lot so it’s fine if you don’t

t.i.a, x

8

[name_m]Hi[/name_m]! could you review my name combos? That would be greatly appreciated!

9

Hello! hopefully if I’m not asking for too much, but is it alright if you can review my whole signature? thank you!

10

Sorry guys, I’m in the middle of a move and thought that this thread had drifted into obscurity. I am going to start reviewing names!

11

@kipperbo1:

[name_u]Asa[/name_u] [name_u]Bellamy[/name_u]

[name_u]Asa[/name_u] is short but sweet as well as strong and definite. [name_u]Bellamy[/name_u] is not my style. It’s hard to see this as a name. It reminds me of the words ‘salami’ and ‘bellhop’ respectively.

[name_m]Soren[/name_m] [name_m]Ezra[/name_m]

I like both of these a lot. Maybe [name_m]Ezra[/name_m] [name_m]Soren[/name_m] would sound slightly better? [name_m]Soren[/name_m] [name_m]Ezra[/name_m] is a good combo, though.

[name_u]Finn[/name_u] [name_m]Leander[/name_m]

[name_m]Leander[/name_m] is gorgeous and underrated. [name_u]Finn[/name_u] is not my style, and I dislike most longer versions like [name_u]Finley[/name_u] and [name_m]Phineas[/name_m]. I kind of like [name_m]Finnick[/name_m]?

[name_m]Archer[/name_m] [name_u]Kit[/name_u]

[name_m]Archer[/name_m] is so cool. Brings to mind medieval weaponry and a cool cartoon character, and the sound and look of it is great. I’m not sold on [name_u]Kit[/name_u] as a standalone name, but I do think it’s a fun nickname for a boy.

[name_f]Marlo[/name_f] [name_u]Juniper[/name_u]

Tranquil, herbal name. I imagine a smart girl who is different from the other kids. I really like this combo.

[name_f]Liv[/name_f] [name_f]Romilly[/name_f]:

This is my least favorite of your names. I much prefer a full name like [name_f]Olivia[/name_f] or [name_f]Lavinia[/name_f] and [name_f]Romilly[/name_f] is just nms.

[name_f]Ilsa[/name_f] [name_f]Marigold[/name_f]:

I like both of these a lot. I have heard [name_f]Ilse[/name_f] before, but not [name_f]Ilsa[/name_f] and it certainly adds something to the name.

[name_f]Kaya[/name_f] [name_f]Elowen[/name_f]:

I love [name_f]Elowen[/name_f] and its meaning. Really cool and beautiful. [name_f]Kaya[/name_f] is nice too.

12

@karasabrina: I’d love to review your signature but I don’t see it. Did you remove it?

@daniemc:

hey! two cents for your thoughts…

  1. Eska is gorgeous and very unusual. I had never heard of it before. It sounds good with [name_f]Sunday[/name_f], and probably with any nature name or weekday name. This might be a bit much but I am thinking Eska [name_f]Isla[/name_f]. I also thought: Eska [name_f]Wednesday[/name_f], Eska [name_f]Luna[/name_f], Eska [name_f]Marigold[/name_f], Eska [name_f]Rose[/name_f].

[name_f]Adelaide[/name_f] [name_f]Eulalie[/name_f]: [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f] is pretty and classical, and has great nickname potential. [name_f]Addie[/name_f], [name_u]Ade[/name_u], [name_f]Laia[/name_f]/[name_f]Laya[/name_f], Dela, [name_u]Adel[/name_u]. [name_f]Eulalie[/name_f] is not my style but perfectly fine to use.
[name_f]Adelaide[/name_f] [name_m]Sol[/name_m]: [name_m]Sol[/name_m] is cute, but I’m not sold on the combo because it feels like it comes to an abrupt halt. [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f] sings and [name_m]Sol[/name_m] is sudden.
[name_f]Adrienne[/name_f] [name_f]Moon[/name_f]: Wow, this is a fantastic combo. [name_f]Adrienne[/name_f] is so feminine and elegant, and [name_f]Moon[/name_f] is too but in a more whimsical way.
[name_f]Aleksandra[/name_f] Lillemor: [name_f]Aleksandra[/name_f] is beautiful, but Lillemor sounds a bit posh.
[name_f]Alice[/name_f] [name_f]Birdie[/name_f]: supercute. [name_f]Alice[/name_f] will never not be a good name and I have a weakness for [name_f]Birdie[/name_f].
[name_f]Alice[/name_f] [name_f]Indy[/name_f]: [name_f]Indy[/name_f] is nms, sorry.
[name_f]Alice[/name_f] [name_u]Jameson[/name_u]: [name_u]Jameson[/name_u] makes me think of alcohol :(. I also don’t like it for a girl because ‘-son’ means ‘son of’ and [name_u]James[/name_u] is already so masculine.
[name_f]Alice[/name_f] [name_f]Josephine[/name_f]: I am not big on [name_m]Joseph[/name_m] because it brings this unflattering image to mind of a man named [name_m]Joseph[/name_m] in a wig. I have that with many male-made-female names though so please take my opinion here with a grain of salt. A lot of people on this site and others [name_u]LOVE[/name_u] [name_f]Josephine[/name_f].
[name_f]Amara[/name_f] [name_u]Sage[/name_u]: wonderful combo, again very tranquil and earthy. A tad bit magical too.
[name_f]Annina[/name_f] [name_f]Kala[/name_f]: not a fan of these. [name_f]Annina[/name_f] is a bit mushy, lacking hard sounds. [name_f]Kala[/name_f] makes me think of kale.
[name_f]Annina[/name_f] [name_f]Lux[/name_f]: I love [name_f]Lux[/name_f]. Such a beautiful name with a great meaning.
[name_f]Anya[/name_f] [name_f]Greer[/name_f]: I don’t like [name_f]Anya[/name_f] much because in my country that’s a bit of an old lady name (I probably have a great-aunt [name_f]Anja[/name_f] or two). [name_f]Greer[/name_f] is in my own sig as well. Supercool and different.
[name_f]Anya[/name_f] [name_f]Revel[/name_f]: [name_f]Revel[/name_f] is nms. Makes me think of [name_u]Rebel[/name_u], but with a speech impediment.
Arna [name_f]Emerald[/name_f]: Arna is okay, but I love [name_f]Emerald[/name_f]! A gorgeous gem that produces a pleasing, underrated name.
Arna [name_f]Olivine[/name_f]: [name_f]Olivine[/name_f] sounds pretty but it does make me think of just [name_f]Olive[/name_f] with letters taped onto to the end to make it longer. I’m not sure about this name.
Arna [name_f]Violetta[/name_f]: [name_f]Violetta[/name_f] is pretty. [name_f]Violet[/name_f] is already gorgeous but the -etta makes it softer and balances out the spunk.
[name_f]Bali[/name_f] [name_f]Carissa[/name_f]: I’m unsure about [name_f]Bali[/name_f] as a name. It makes me think of [name_f]Bali[/name_f], Indonesia. That’s fine if it’s on purpose, though! [name_f]Carissa[/name_f] is okay, but a bit ‘empty’ to me. It strikes me as a cheerleader in a High School movie, which your other names absolutely don’t.
[name_f]Bali[/name_f] [name_f]Pippa[/name_f]: not a fan of [name_f]Pippa[/name_f], it reminds me of Peppa Pig.
[name_f]Bali[/name_f] [name_f]Veronica[/name_f]: [name_f]Veronica[/name_f] is familiar, yet not overused. I like it a lot, and would like to see the nickname [name_f]Vera[/name_f] being used for it.

[name_u]Blake[/name_u] [name_f]Ariella[/name_f] : I am not a fan of [name_u]Blake[/name_u] because I just don’t think it sounds nice or that it has a particularly beautiful meaning. I like [name_f]Ariella[/name_f], but prefer [name_u]Ariel[/name_u].

[name_u]Blake[/name_u] [name_f]Esme[/name_f] : [name_f]Esme[/name_f] is very elegant with a mysterious air.

[name_u]Blake[/name_u] [name_f]Savannah[/name_f] : [name_f]Savannah[/name_f] is a cool girl name and I like it a lot, but the one thing that sucks is that it does not have many intuitive nicknames even though it’s pretty long.

[name_f]Cori[/name_f] [name_u]Milan[/name_u] : This combo is not for me. I prefer [name_f]Mila[/name_f] or [name_f]Milena[/name_f] (but understand that maybe you have a connection to the city of [name_u]Milan[/name_u]). [name_f]Cori[/name_f] does not feel like a full name to me. Would you consider [name_f]Coraline[/name_f], Corinthia or [name_f]Corrine[/name_f] instead?

[name_f]Cori[/name_f] [name_f]Tova[/name_f] : [name_f]Tova[/name_f] is great. It’s too short to be a first name for my personal tastes but a perfect fit for the middle slot or as a Hebrew name.

[name_u]Dallas[/name_u] [name_f]Aubrielle[/name_f] : Not a fan of this combo, sorry. [name_f]Aubrielle[/name_f] seems a bit much and I guess I am not a fan of place names for people in most cases.

[name_u]Dallas[/name_u] [name_f]Elide[/name_f] : [name_f]Elide[/name_f] is really gorgeous. I prefer this spelling too, because Eileed often gets pronounced as Eyelid in the US.

[name_u]Dallas[/name_u] [name_f]Jubilee[/name_f] : [name_f]Jubilee[/name_f] is not for me. It does not feel like a name.

[name_u]Darcy[/name_u] [name_f]Luna[/name_f] : [name_u]Darcy[/name_u] is cute, but it feels masculine because of Mr [name_u]Darcy[/name_u] in Pride and Prejudice, lol. I like [name_f]Luna[/name_f] a lot, very cute.

Eska [name_f]Eulalie[/name_f] : Again, I like Eska very much but not [name_f]Eulalie[/name_f].

Eska [name_f]Sunday[/name_f] : all 0weekday names are fantastic (well, maybe [name_m]Saturday[/name_m] would be a bit too odd).

[name_f]Esme[/name_f] Talulah : Talulah doesn’t sound or look pretty to me. It does flow well with [name_f]Esme[/name_f], but most names do.

  •   [name_f]Estelle[/name_f] [name_f]Ines[/name_f]  : [name_f]Ines[/name_f] is so cute and pretty. Never really considered it before. I would pair it with a longer first name. 

  •   [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] [name_f]Coral[/name_f]  : I like [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f]. It sounds magical and flowy. Not a fan of [name_f]Coral[/name_f] as a name. I would again suggest [name_f]Coraline[/name_f] instead. 

  •   [name_f]Greta[/name_f] [name_f]Maple[/name_f]: I prefer [name_f]Gretel[/name_f] or [name_f]Gretchen[/name_f] to [name_f]Greta[/name_f], but it's not bad. [name_f]Maple[/name_f] is very cute.

[name_u]Hayden[/name_u] Lazuli : Using any -aden name is a brave choice. I would not personally do it, even though [name_u]Hayden[/name_u] is definitely a real name as opposed to [name_m]Kaden[/name_m] or Xczaiydon or whatever. Lazuli is beautiful. It sounds a bit quirky but beautiful.

[name_u]Hayden[/name_u] [name_f]Snow[/name_f]: Not sure about [name_f]Snow[/name_f], especially in the middle name slot. All I can think of is that it is the name given to bastards born in the [name_u]North[/name_u] in A Song of Ice and [name_m]Fire[/name_m].

[name_f]Ireland[/name_f] [name_f]Cleo[/name_f] : [name_f]Ireland[/name_f] is an exception for me. It’s a place name, but it sounds beautiful and I like it a lot. Still, I’d prefer [name_f]Irene[/name_f] or [name_f]Eileen[/name_f]. The Irish language is full of beautiful names, and if your goal is to honor [name_f]Ireland[/name_f], you will have lots of Irish choices. [name_f]Cleo[/name_f] isn’t bad, but it never feels like a full name to me.

[name_f]Ivy[/name_f] [name_u]Adair[/name_u]: I love this combo. Both of these are strong names.

[name_f]Ivy[/name_f] [name_f]Alaska[/name_f] : Not a fan of [name_f]Alaska[/name_f] as a name, but as a middle name it is okay.

[name_f]Ivy[/name_f] [name_u]Wren[/name_u]: I don’t really like [name_u]Wren[/name_u]. There are many bird names that sound better.

[name_f]Jemima[/name_f] [name_u]Blue[/name_u] : [name_u]Blue[/name_u] is really cool, especially as a middle. Underused imo. It also pairs well with nature names like [name_u]Sky[/name_u], [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] and [name_u]Winter[/name_u].

TO BE CONTINUED.

I would love it if you could do my signature (minus the green name those are all honor names)

15

@mrsalways:

[name_f]Lily[/name_f] [name_f]Julia[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] ([name_f]Lilibet[/name_f]): I like all three of these names, especially [name_f]Julia[/name_f] and [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f]. Those are gorgeous and timeless. The nickname [name_f]Lilibet[/name_f] is interesting. Not sure how I feel about it.

[name_f]Gwendolyn[/name_f] [name_f]Emma[/name_f] [name_f]Lavinia[/name_f] ([name_f]Gwen[/name_f],[name_f]Gemma[/name_f]): [name_f]Gwendolyn[/name_f] is cool and adventurous. [name_f]Emma[/name_f] is slightly overdone at this point. [name_f]Lavinia[/name_f] is underused and beautiful. I prefer [name_f]Gwen[/name_f] to [name_f]Gemma[/name_f], which I have never liked much.

[name_f]Matilda[/name_f] [name_f]Sarah[/name_f] [name_f]Ottilie[/name_f] ([name_f]Tilda[/name_f], [name_f]Tilly[/name_f]): I am not crazy about any of these names, but [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] is my favorite because of the book by [name_m]Roald[/name_m] Dahl. [name_f]Tilly[/name_f] is a cute nickname.

[name_m]Raphael[/name_m] [name_m]Oscar[/name_m] [name_m]Leopold[/name_m] ([name_m]Raoul[/name_m]): All three solid names, and the nn is clever. [name_m]Oscar[/name_m] is my favorite, because it’s masculine but also a bit silly and different sounding than most names. I also like [name_m]Leopold[/name_m] a lot, which always sounds much more fun than other [name_m]Leo[/name_m]- names.

[name_m]Benedict[/name_m] [name_m]Gideon[/name_m] [name_u]Elias[/name_u] (Bene, [name_m]Ben[/name_m]): [name_m]Benedict[/name_m] is great. I once knew a kid named Benedictus nn Dictus and I thought it was cool and wizard-like. I am kind of meh about [name_m]Gideon[/name_m], but [name_u]Elias[/name_u] is another beautiful name.

[name_m]Jonathan[/name_m] [name_m]Olin[/name_m] [name_m]Atticus[/name_m] ([name_m]Jon[/name_m]): I have always quite liked [name_m]Jonathan[/name_m], but it is a bit too common, like [name_u]Michael[/name_u] (to go with another biblical name). [name_m]Olin[/name_m] is beautiful and I love all of its meanings. [name_m]Atticus[/name_m] is getting to be a bit trendy but still miles better than most other names out there.

[name_m]Hugo[/name_m] [name_m]Matthew[/name_m] [name_m]Wolfgang[/name_m]: I am not crazy about [name_m]Hugo[/name_m] or [name_m]Matthew[/name_m]; [name_m]Hugo[/name_m] just reminds me of [name_m]Hugo[/name_m] [name_m]Boss[/name_m] and [name_m]Matthew[/name_m] is a bit boring. [name_m]Wolfgang[/name_m] is a favorite, though. It’s cool, it’s whimsical and it’s about animals.

@Zedvon:

Not at all! I love your name, [name_f]Valeria[/name_f], btw.

leo dominic: [name_m]Leo[/name_m] is nice, but feels incomplete. I prefer to see a full name for it. My favorite names that you can get “[name_m]Leo[/name_m]” from are [name_m]Leopold[/name_m] and [name_m]Leander[/name_m]. There is nothing wrong with [name_m]Dominic[/name_m] but negative associations have ruined it for me.

julian ford: [name_m]Julian[/name_m] is a beautiful name and I am glad to see it getting used more often. I don’t like [name_m]Ford[/name_m] because [name_m]Henry[/name_m] [name_m]Ford[/name_m] (the most famous [name_m]Ford[/name_m]) was not a good person, and I don’t like last names as first names in general.

enzo blake: [name_m]Enzo[/name_m] is nice but also too short for my liking. I prefer [name_m]Lorenzo[/name_m], nn [name_m]Enzo[/name_m]. [name_u]Blake[/name_u] is okay, but a bit bland.

rhys hunter: I love [name_u]Rhys[/name_u]! It’s so beautiful and old. [name_u]Hunter[/name_u] is okay. It’s better than a lot of other job names imo.

zane tobias: I am not crazy about [name_m]Zane[/name_m]. For some reason it sounds whiny. For some reason I find [name_m]Zayn[/name_m] much more tolerable. [name_m]Tobias[/name_m] is really cool if you don’t mind the Arrested Development association. I don’t personally watch it and yet [name_m]Tobias[/name_m] Funkay is the first thing that comes to mind when I hear the name.

jack dante: [name_m]Jack[/name_m] is a nice classic that isn’t as trendy as many others. I like it. [name_m]Dante[/name_m] is not great imo.

selene aurora: [name_f]Selene[/name_f] is pretty, but I prefer [name_f]Celeste[/name_f] and [name_f]Serena[/name_f], which seem similar. [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] is gorgeous on paper but feels weird in the mouth.

estella mira: [name_f]Estella[/name_f] is pretty. Have you considered [name_f]Estrella[/name_f]? I like that slightly better. [name_f]Mira[/name_f] is a good name but I like it better when it’s spelled [name_f]Meera[/name_f] because it’s more intuitive (in the US).

anya celeste: [name_f]Anya[/name_f] is cute, but a bit of an old lady name where I’m from. [name_f]Celeste[/name_f] is pretty nice.

diana astrid: [name_f]Diana[/name_f] is kind of boring to me, and I don’t love the nickname “[name_f]Di[/name_f]”. [name_f]Astrid[/name_f] is gorgeous and tough.

nova beatrice: [name_f]Nova[/name_f] sounds like a brand or a product and not like a people name to me. I don’t like [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f]. It is old-fashioned but in a stuffy way.

maia honora: These are both lovely names. I especially like [name_f]Honora[/name_f], nn [name_f]Nora[/name_f].

@Daniemc:

  • [name_f]Kalindi[/name_f] [name_f]Mable[/name_f]: [name_f]Kalindi[/name_f] is very cute and has a wonderful meaning. I like the nicknames that come from it as well. [name_f]Mable[/name_f] is a beautiful classic. I prefer the traditional spelling though.
  • [name_f]Kalindi[/name_f] [name_f]Pearl[/name_f]: The name [name_f]Pearl[/name_f] is not my style. It sounds a bit ‘tarty’ and doesn’t produce a great sound, although the meaning is nice.
  • [name_f]Kalindi[/name_f] [name_f]Sonnet[/name_f]: I love the idea of [name_f]Sonnet[/name_f] as a name, especially if you are a poet or a [name_m]Shakespeare[/name_m] fan.
  • [name_f]Kallan[/name_f] [name_f]Sofia[/name_f]: I am not sure about [name_f]Kallan[/name_f]. It sounds strong, but it looks a bit plain. [name_f]Sofia[/name_f] is beautiful but a bit overdone at this point.
  • [name_u]Kameron[/name_u] [name_f]Olive[/name_f]: [name_u]Kameron[/name_u]/[name_u]Cameron[/name_u] has always been very meh to me. It makes me think “[name_f]Camera[/name_f] [name_m]Ron[/name_m]”, like it’s a nickname for a dude named [name_m]Ron[/name_m] who brings his camera everywhere. [name_f]Olive[/name_f] is cute and beautiful but like [name_f]Sofia[/name_f], overdone.
  • [name_u]Kameron[/name_u] [name_f]Tessa[/name_f]: I don’t see the appeal of [name_f]Tessa[/name_f]. It’s quite mundane and tame.
  • [name_f]Kendra[/name_f] [name_u]Delaney[/name_u]: [name_f]Kendra[/name_f] is pretty. It is one of those names/words that is fun and pleasant to say out loud. Apparently [name_u]Delaney[/name_u] has Gaelic origins. In my country it is considered somewhat trashy, and I did not know that it was a historical name till I looked it up just now. Obviously I am a bit biased against it because of the stereotypes, but I can see the appeal because it does sound nice.
  • [name_f]Kendra[/name_f] [name_f]Lacey[/name_f]: [name_f]Lacey[/name_f] makes me think of underwear, so I would never use it on a child.
  • [name_f]Kendra[/name_f] [name_f]Morrigan[/name_f]: [name_f]Morrigan[/name_f] is very different. I like how this name sounds. It is kind of magical/fantastical.
  • [name_f]Leila[/name_f] [name_u]Juniper[/name_u]: I think [name_f]Leila[/name_f] is a bit boring, but [name_u]Juniper[/name_u] is great. It always reminds me of Wise Child by [name_f]Monica[/name_f] Furlong, and of course of its prequel “[name_u]Juniper[/name_u]”. It’s about a Celtic princess who is also a witch.
  • [name_f]Leila[/name_f] [name_f]Kodiak[/name_f]: [name_f]Kodiak[/name_f], like the camera? I cannot get past this association.
  • [name_f]Lilia[/name_f] [name_f]Almond[/name_f]: [name_f]Almond[/name_f] is so cute! I love the idea of this as a name and can’t believe that it isn’t used more often. [name_f]Lilia[/name_f] is a bit plain.
  • [name_f]Lola[/name_f] [name_f]Avis[/name_f]: [name_f]Lola[/name_f] is cute and I like the name [name_f]Avis[/name_f] because it reminds me of birds. It also just sounds very nice.
  • [name_f]Lola[/name_f] [name_u]Hero[/name_u]: I think [name_u]Hero[/name_u] would be better for a boy, but I like it regardless. I understand that you can’t very well go around naming your daughter “Heroine” (which is too bad because it’s a beautiful word).

TO BE CONTINUED

@Thenameprincess:

[name_m]Caspian[/name_m] nn [name_m]Kip[/name_m]: I like [name_m]Caspian[/name_m], for the [name_m]Caspian[/name_m] Sea. [name_m]Kip[/name_m] means “chicken” in my language so it’s always funny to me. It’s cute though and I think it works well in English.
[name_u]Everett[/name_u] nn [name_m]Rhett[/name_m]: [name_u]Everett[/name_u] isn’t a very long name, but it’s beautiful. I think it’d be a waste to use a nickname like [name_m]Rhett[/name_m] for it, which I don’t think sounds particularly nice.
[name_m]Frederick[/name_m] nn [name_m]Fitz[/name_m]: [name_m]Fitz[/name_m] is a cool nickname, but it means ‘son of’ and I am not sure how it relates to [name_m]Frederick[/name_m]. I think it’s a bit of a reach. [name_m]Frederick[/name_m] is okay, but a bit overdone.
[name_m]Malachi[/name_m] nn [name_u]Kai[/name_u]/ [name_m]Mac[/name_m]: I like [name_m]Malachi[/name_m], you don’t hear that very often. I also like the nickname [name_m]Mac[/name_m], but am not crazy about [name_u]Kai[/name_u]. Overall I think it’d be a shame to use a nickname too often.
[name_m]Donovan[/name_m] nn [name_u]Van[/name_u]: Never been a fan of the name [name_m]Donovan[/name_m], and [name_u]Van[/name_u] just makes me think of the transportation vehicle.
[name_m]Philip[/name_m] nn [name_m]Pip[/name_m]: [name_m]Phillip[/name_m] is just okay, but [name_m]Pip[/name_m] is an adorable nickname! I slightly prefer [name_m]Peregrine[/name_m] or [name_m]Pippin[/name_m].

[name_f]Helena[/name_f] nn [name_f]Nellie[/name_f]: I adore the name [name_f]Helena[/name_f], and [name_f]Nellie[/name_f] cute. I prefer [name_f]Lena[/name_f] as a nickname, though. Or Hela, if you’re into it.
[name_f]Cordelia[/name_f] nn [name_f]Della[/name_f]/[name_u]Cody[/name_u]: I am a bit bored with [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f]. It seems to follow this trend of pretty sounding girls’ names that are all mush with no hard bits. I am also not a fan of [name_u]Cody[/name_u] or [name_f]Della[/name_f], which always strikes me as a cow name.

[name_f]Avalon[/name_f] nn [name_f]Lana[/name_f]: I like [name_f]Avalon[/name_f] a lot! A more intuitive nickname would perhaps be [name_f]Ava[/name_f]. Maybe you’d like [name_f]Lona[/name_f] as well? [name_f]Lana[/name_f] is a cool name, though.
[name_f]Aurora[/name_f] nn [name_u]Rory[/name_u]: As much as I love the look and the idea of [name_f]Aurora[/name_f], the struggle that some people have to put themselves through in order to pronounce correctly it puts me off. The same is true for the nickname [name_u]Rory[/name_u]. If you don’t live in an English-speaking country, I do absolutely approve of it.
[name_f]Bridget[/name_f] nn [name_m]Jett[/name_m]: I like [name_f]Bridget[/name_f], but I love the nickname [name_f]Birdie[/name_f] that often comes with it. I am not a fan of [name_m]Jett[/name_m].

Could you do my signature and maybe suggest combos? Thanks!

@theofania:

[name_u]Rene[/name_u]: I think that [name_u]Rene[/name_u] is the masculine form and [name_f]Renee[/name_f] the feminine. Not that it matters - these things are not as important as they once were - but I think [name_f]Renee[/name_f] looks prettier. Both have a dash on the e that I for some reason cannot make on this keyboard. Either way, I think [name_u]Rene[/name_u] is a cute and pretty sounding name. Relatively simple and unpretentious but elegant.

[name_f]Helena[/name_f]: That is one of my personal favorites. Stunning name.

[name_f]Emmeline[/name_f]: I am not personally a fan of this one, but I must admit that I’m not sure how it’s pronounced. It kind of looks like the parents chose it because they thought that [name_f]Emma[/name_f] or [name_f]Emily[/name_f] was too popular. I’d prefer it if it was pronounced like [name_f]Coraline[/name_f] and [name_f]Caroline[/name_f] because that would make it a bit more unusual.

[name_f]Daphne[/name_f]: I am not sure how I feel about it. Objectively it’s a great name, but the “phnee” is starting to put me off lately because it sounds a bit whiny? Maybe [name_f]Daphne[/name_f] is just a victim of name fatigue, and I recently learned many beautiful Greek names that I believe [name_f]Daphne[/name_f] pales in comparison to. It’s still far from the worst name out there.

[name_f]Phoebe[/name_f]: I really don’t like it. Not the way that it is written, not the way that it sounds. I like the meaning and the moon association, though.

[name_f]Linnea[/name_f]: [name_f]Linnea[/name_f] is a pretty enough name, but doesn’t do much for me.

[name_u]Simone[/name_u]: That’s such a pretty name. It’s my auntie’s, so I may be biased. I just love the sound of it, and the look of it. It’s a pretty tranquil name and again elegant in relative simplicity.

[name_f]Mariel[/name_f]: It kind of makes me think of [name_u]Ariel[/name_u] with an M taped to the front, and I much prefer [name_u]Ariel[/name_u].

[name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m]: Very beautiful classic, but it’s a bit trendy and I can’t stand the nickname [name_m]Nate[/name_m].

[name_u]Alden[/name_u]: This name sounds too trendy for my taste.

[name_m]Amias[/name_m]: Yes! [name_u]Love[/name_u] this, and its meaning. Similar names with similar meanings that I love are [name_m]Amador[/name_m] and [name_m]Amadeus[/name_m].

[name_m]Wilder[/name_m]: Always reminds me of a nasty politician whose last name is similar, so hard pass.

[name_m]Jasper[/name_m]: I am a bit bored with [name_m]Jasper[/name_m], and always prefered [name_m]Kasper[/name_m]/[name_m]Casper[/name_m] anyway.

[name_m]Cyprian[/name_m]: This is a very pretty name that is new to me. Probably related to the cyprus tree?

[name_m]Clement[/name_m]: I like this. [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] is kind of taking off for girls, but you don’t hear [name_m]Clement[/name_m] or [name_m]Clemens[/name_m] a lot.

[name_m]Simeon[/name_m]: Yes, superpretty! It has a similar feel to [name_u]Simone[/name_u], but then for boys. I much prefer this to [name_m]Simon[/name_m].

Guilty Pleasures

[name_f]Ione[/name_f]: I don’t think that this name is very out there. It’s really beautiful and would suite a child just fine.

[name_f]Kassiani[/name_f]: Not a fan of how this name sounds or looks. It has a bit of a whiny factor that I dislike.

[name_f]Acacia[/name_f]: This kind of makes me think of bread for some reason? Foccassia bread I guess? Not really a fan of this name.

[name_m]Leander[/name_m]: Another name that isn’t crazy and could easily go on a child imo. I really love it.

[name_m]Griffin[/name_m]: I am not a fan of this as a name. I appreciate the mythology, but it’s just not a good sounding word imo.

[name_m]Cosmas[/name_m]: Having a hard time picturing this on a person. [name_m]Cosmo[/name_m] or even Kosmos sounds better.

@enwmn

Combo’s I suggest from your own list: [name_f]Mila[/name_f] [name_f]Noor[/name_f], [name_f]Linnea[/name_f] [name_f]Margot[/name_f], [name_f]Alma[/name_f] [name_f]Clio[/name_f], [name_u]Everest[/name_u] [name_u]Asa[/name_u], [name_m]Oscar[/name_m] [name_m]Konrad[/name_m], [name_u]Emory[/name_u] [name_m]Jakob[/name_m] and [name_m]Leo[/name_m] [name_m]Matias[/name_m].

Using other names that I think are similar to your style in combination with your names: [name_f]Marla[/name_f] [name_f]Noor[/name_f], [name_f]Adela[/name_f] [name_f]Renee[/name_f], [name_f]Willa[/name_f] [name_f]Clio[/name_f], [name_f]Nova[/name_f] [name_f]Mia[/name_f], [name_f]Anya[/name_f] [name_f]Lola[/name_f], [name_m]Willem[/name_m] [name_m]Jakob[/name_m], [name_u]Asa[/name_u] [name_m]Marcus[/name_m], [name_u]Noah[/name_u] [name_m]Vincent[/name_m], [name_m]Edgar[/name_m] [name_m]Leo[/name_m].

I’m sorry if these suggestions are a bit off. Your style is hard to pinpoint because you seem to like a diverse set of names, especially for boys!

alma mireia: [name_f]Alma[/name_f] brings to mind a calm and intelligent person. It’s a very nice, but tame name. I am not a fan of [name_f]Mireia[/name_f], because it feels like the end of that name goes on and on in an unpleasant way.

adela clio: I like [name_f]Adela[/name_f] just fine, but always prefer [name_f]Adele[/name_f]. [name_f]Clio[/name_f] is cool, but feels incomplete. It fits nicely in the middle slot.

maia amada: I am not sure if this works as a combo, seeing that [name_f]Maia[/name_f] ends in an A and is sort of forced to come to an abrupt stop in order to make way for the A in [name_f]Amada[/name_f]. I like the meaning of the name [name_f]Amada[/name_f] and prefer it to [name_f]Amanda[/name_f]!

esme noor: [name_f]Esme[/name_f] is very elegant and pretty. I am glad to see it more often lately. [name_f]Noor[/name_f] is also a wonderful name with a wonderful meaning.

caia margo: I am not a fan of either name. [name_f]Margo[/name_f] feels stuffy and old, and [name_f]Caia[/name_f] is okay but doesn’t feel like it brings much to the table.

mila anais: [name_f]Mila[/name_f] is a beautiful name and I love the quirkiness of [name_f]Anais[/name_f] (great spice). Have you considered [name_f]Milena[/name_f]? I like that one a lot too.

sofia linnea: [name_f]Sofia[/name_f] is pretty, a very wise name. It is a bit too trendy now. [name_f]Linnea[/name_f] is nice too.

oscar leo: I like [name_m]Oscar[/name_m] a lot, it’s such a fun name. [name_m]Leo[/name_m] never feels complete as a name. I always recommend that people go with [name_m]Leopold[/name_m], [name_m]Leander[/name_m] or another name that you can get [name_m]Leo[/name_m] from. But I understand if that’s not your style.

luka konrad: Not sure about [name_m]Luka[/name_m] with that spelling (at least in the US). It’s one of those names that I’m just a bit tired of. It was interesting to me about 10 years ago but is now a bit too commonplace. It’s still not bad though. [name_m]Konrad[/name_m] is really cool, I love it. Always reminds me of [name_m]Karl[/name_m] [name_m]Konrad[/name_m] Koriander in the Neverending [name_u]Story[/name_u]!

amias jakob: I’ve been seeing a lot of am-names lately! [name_m]Amias[/name_m] is another very nice one. Others that I like are [name_m]Amador[/name_m] and [name_m]Amadeus[/name_m] (they have the same meaning).

aksel everest: I really dislike [name_m]Aksel[/name_m]. It just makes me think of [name_m]Diesel[/name_m], dogs and other unpleasant things.

— Didn’t I review you before? I am just realizing it now. Wow. Sorry if my opinions are different than last time, I really change my mind on names a lot. ------

ansel matias: [name_m]Ansel[/name_m] is okay, but I prefer [name_m]Hansel[/name_m] or [name_m]Anselm[/name_m]. I like [name_m]Matias[/name_m] a lot, but it’s becoming a bit too popular. It looks better with the original spelling, [name_m]Matthias[/name_m] (at least in English! Not sure if other countries spell it differently).

asa emory: [name_u]Asa[/name_u] is gorgeous. Normally this name would be too short for my liking but it’s pretty magical. I am not a fan of [name_u]Emory[/name_u] because it sounds a bit preppy.
