Names:
[name_f]Alexia[/name_f] - Pretty.
[name_f]Annaliese[/name_f] - Prefer the [name_f]Anneliese[/name_f] spelling but I really like the name.
[name_f]Arielle[/name_f] - Nice but there are so many ‘[name_u]Ari[/name_u]’ and ‘[name_f]Elle[/name_f]’ names that it doesn’t really stand out.
[name_u]Artemis[/name_u] - Unusual and spunky.
[name_f]Ayelet[/name_f], [name_f]Lida[/name_f], [name_f]Leda[/name_f], [name_f]Liora[/name_f] - Nms.
[name_f]Ayla[/name_f] - Not keen, I do like [name_f]Isla[/name_f] though.
[name_f]Jessamy[/name_f] - Cute though I prefer [name_f]Jessamine[/name_f] (pr.‘jessa-min’).
[name_f]Lilia[/name_f] - Sweet and has nn. [name_f]Lily[/name_f].
[name_f]Liv[/name_f] & [name_f]Luna[/name_f] - Cute and spunky. [name_u]Love[/name_u]!
[name_f]Margot[/name_f] - One of my favourites.
[name_f]Maya[/name_f] - I like this one. Short and sweet.
[name_f]Penelope[/name_f] - Not a fan, though I love nn. [name_f]Poppy[/name_f].
[name_u]Rey[/name_u] - I like it (and the [name_u]Ray[/name_u] spelling) as a middle, but with [name_f]Star[/name_f] Wars I’d probably avoid it at the moment.
[name_u]Riley[/name_u] - It feels a bit dated, but then I’m not really a fan of unisex names.
[name_u]Rowan[/name_u] - [name_u]Love[/name_u] this.

Combos:
[name_f]Alexia[/name_f] [name_f]Margot[/name_f] - [name_f]Lovely[/name_f] combo, not keen on the flow of the others.
[name_f]Annaliese[/name_f] [name_f]Daphne[/name_f] - I much prefer the [name_f]Anneliese[/name_f] spelling.
[name_f]Arielle[/name_f] [name_f]Margot[/name_f] - My favourite of the three followed by the [name_f]Isabeau[/name_f] combo. Not a fan of [name_f]Venus[/name_f].
[name_u]Artemis[/name_u] [name_u]Rowan[/name_u] - Flows well, feels a bit unisex though. Maybe [name_u]Artemis[/name_u] [name_f]Lilia[/name_f] or [name_u]Artemis[/name_u] [name_f]Maya[/name_f] instead?
[name_f]Aurora[/name_f] [name_f]Jessamy[/name_f] - Very cute. I love nn. [name_u]Rory[/name_u] for [name_f]Aurora[/name_f].
[name_f]Ayelet[/name_f] [name_f]Liora[/name_f]/[name_f]Luna[/name_f] & [name_f]Ayla[/name_f] [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] - Personally not a fan.
[name_f]Jessamy[/name_f] [name_f]Luna[/name_f] - Cute combo, though I’d prefer [name_f]Jessamine[/name_f] [name_f]Luna[/name_f].
[name_f]Penelope[/name_f] [name_u]Rowan[/name_u] - I’m personally not a fan of [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] but this is my favourite combo of the three.
[name_u]Rowan[/name_u] [name_f]Annaliese[/name_f] - [name_f]Lovely[/name_f] combo but I prefer the [name_f]Anneliese[/name_f] spelling.

I like:

[name_f]Alexia[/name_f] - beautiful, elegant and streamlined
[name_f]Annaliese[/name_f] (though I also prefer [name_f]Anneliese[/name_f]) - very pretty
[name_u]Artemis[/name_u] - love goddess names and this is very spunky
[name_f]Lilia[/name_f] - pretty
[name_f]Liv[/name_f] - [name_u]LOVE[/name_u]. Delicate yet bold.
[name_f]Luna[/name_f] - another love
[name_f]Margot[/name_f] - classy and spunky
[name_f]Maya[/name_f] - a bit overused but a nice name
([name_u]Rowan[/name_u]) - OK, but not as pretty as your other choices

My favourite combos flow-wise are:

[name_f]Alexia[/name_f] [name_f]Margot[/name_f]
[name_u]Artemis[/name_u] [name_u]Rowan[/name_u]
[name_f]Ayla[/name_f] [name_f]Penelope[/name_f]
[name_f]Aurora[/name_f] [name_f]Jessamy[/name_f]
[name_f]Jessamy[/name_f] [name_f]Luna[/name_f]
[name_f]Penelope[/name_f] [name_f]Liv[/name_f]

[name_f]Alexia[/name_f] - sorry, but this feels dated to me. I think a lot of [name_f]Alexa[/name_f]/[name_u]Alexis[/name_u]’ were born in the late 90’s and early 2000’s. It feels like [name_f]Maddie[/name_f] to me now—overused.
[name_f]Annaliese[/name_f] - a lovely name. I prefer the spelling [name_f]Anneliese[/name_f] to avoid the “anal” beginning
[name_f]Arielle[/name_f] - okay, rather Disney-ish but it’s pretty
[name_u]Artemis[/name_u] - very strong. I prefer [name_f]Athena[/name_f] or [name_f]Anthea[/name_f] personally.
[name_f]Ayelet[/name_f] - I’ve seen this spelled Eyelet. It’s a pretty sound, but looks rather made up.
[name_f]Ayla[/name_f] - would have spelling issues. What about [name_f]Isla[/name_f]?
[name_f]Jessamy[/name_f] - [name_f]Jessamine[/name_f] is pretty with [name_f]Jessamy[/name_f] as a nn.
[name_f]Leda[/name_f] - ok
[name_f]Liba[/name_f] - I like it spelled Libba personally. Pretty but sounds like a nn
[name_f]Lilia[/name_f] - ok
[name_f]Liora[/name_f] - very pretty. I like this a lot.
[name_f]Liv[/name_f] - one of my favorites, beautiful name!
[name_f]Luna[/name_f] - very pretty
[name_f]Margot[/name_f] - love it. I prefer [name_f]Margo[/name_f] (to avoid the maggot look)
[name_f]Maya[/name_f] - not a fan, there are a lot of similar names that all get a bit lost I feel ([name_f]Mia[/name_f], [name_f]Mya[/name_f], [name_f]Meya[/name_f], [name_f]Maye[/name_f], etc.)
[name_f]Penelope[/name_f] - pretty, gaining popularity
[name_u]Rey[/name_u] - meh, not a favorite but [name_f]Star[/name_f] Wars will likely draw some attention to it.
[name_u]Riley[/name_u] - not a fan
[name_u]Rowan[/name_u] - nice, I prefer it for a boy

These are the ones I like
[name_f]Annaliese[/name_f] [name_f]Daphne[/name_f] - pretty. I like it reversed too.
[name_f]Arielle[/name_f] [name_f]Margot[/name_f]
[name_u]Artemis[/name_u] [name_u]Rowan[/name_u]
[name_f]Penelope[/name_f] [name_f]Liv[/name_f]
[name_f]Penelope[/name_f] [name_f]Margot[/name_f]
[name_f]Penelope[/name_f] [name_u]Rowan[/name_u]
[name_u]Rowan[/name_u] [name_f]Annaliese[/name_f]

I also kinda like [name_f]Liora[/name_f] [name_f]Luna[/name_f] - totally rhymey and not my style, but I think it’s gorgeous!

[name_f]Hope[/name_f] you don’t mind my long post! Had the day off and I have a bad cold so I just stayed in.

[name_f]Alexia[/name_f] - looks good on the page. I think it’s stronger and more interesting than [name_f]Alexa[/name_f].
[name_f]Annaliese[/name_f] - a bit heavy, not as sophisticated.
[name_f]Arielle[/name_f] - beautiful name. When I was a little girl I had a friend named [name_u]Ariel[/name_u] who was just darling.
[name_u]Artemis[/name_u] - wonderful name, worth the effort it takes to familiarize the name to others.
[name_f]Ayelet[/name_f] - Is this pronounced like Eyelet? Looks nice.
[name_f]Ayla[/name_f] - Looks and sounds unfinished.
[name_f]Jessamy[/name_f] - great name! [name_u]Unique[/name_u], but friendly, not austere.
[name_f]Leda[/name_f] - beautiful, my favourite on your list. I also like [name_f]Leta[/name_f] (lee-dah), only because I’ve met someone (beautiful) with the name.
[name_f]Liba[/name_f] - interesting! I like it but it could cause confusion.
[name_f]Lilia[/name_f] - another name in a slightly unfinished style. Beautiful in it’s own way. Reminds me of one of my favourite names, [name_f]Livia[/name_f].
[name_f]Liora[/name_f] - beautiful! My second favourite on your list. [name_m]Just[/name_m] gorgeous. Have you considered [name_f]Laurel[/name_f]? They have similarities.
[name_f]Liv[/name_f] - gorgeous. Getting trendier it seems, but worth it. Also consider [name_f]Livia[/name_f].
[name_f]Luna[/name_f] - I love this name. Meaning, mood, sound, look.
[name_f]Margot[/name_f] - one of the most popular unfinished names. If I were going for a [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] variant I’d choose [name_f]Marguerite[/name_f] or [name_f]Marjorie[/name_f]/[name_f]Margaery[/name_f] because they seem more romantic.
[name_f]Maya[/name_f] - lacks character. Seems like it was cool 10 years ago but anymore. For a meaningful Hebrew name, though, I love the combo [name_f]Liora[/name_f] [name_f]Maya[/name_f]. That’s the only time I’d recommend it.
[name_f]Penelope[/name_f] - somewhat imposing, trendy. Too many are used nicknames for it, which sometimes renders it unnecessary. Once I met an elderly woman named [name_u]Penny[/name_u]. “Short for [name_f]Penelope[/name_f]?” I asked. “No, just [name_u]Penny[/name_u].” I felt so relieved, lol.
[name_u]Rey[/name_u] - [name_f]Star[/name_f] Wars makes it too “pop culture” for me. I prefer [name_u]Rae[/name_u], which feels classic.
[name_u]Riley[/name_u] - oh no. I’ve only met boys under 10 with this name and small dogs, all badly behaved and hyper. It also reminds me of a “clothing name”… meaning something that The Gap would call a particular type of sweater “the ‘[name_u]Riley[/name_u]’” to seem cool.
[name_u]Rowan[/name_u] - beautiful name of gentleness and strength, wonderful meaning.

DISLIKE:
[name_u]Riley[/name_u]
[name_f]Maya[/name_f]
[name_f]Ayla[/name_f]
[name_f]Ayelet[/name_f]

SUGGESTIONS:
[name_u]Regan[/name_u]
[name_f]Marguerite[/name_f]
[name_f]Marjorie[/name_f]/[name_f]Margaery[/name_f]
[name_f]Laurel[/name_f]

[name_f]Leta[/name_f]
[name_f]Florence[/name_f]
[name_f]Amaryllis[/name_f]
[name_f]Lena[/name_f] (pronounced lay-nah)
[name_f]Rafaela[/name_f]
[name_f]Nova[/name_f]
[name_f]Deva[/name_f]

Combos:
[name_f]Alexia[/name_f] [name_f]Jessamy[/name_f] - feels unfamiliar on my tongue when I say it aloud, like I’m speaking an incantation.
[name_f]Alexia[/name_f] [name_f]Margot[/name_f] - even though neither of these names are individual recommendations of mine, together they have a lot of style!
[name_f]Alexia[/name_f] [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] - [name_f]Alexia[/name_f] is such a strong name that it’s performing the miracle of making [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] feel calmer and more subtle! Great combo!
[name_f]Alexia[/name_f] [name_f]Venus[/name_f] - uh oh. It feels a little bit like it could be the name of a brand sold in an adult toy shop? Too dramatic.
[name_f]Annaliese[/name_f] [name_f]Daphne[/name_f] - [name_f]Daphne[/name_f] is beautiful, but I don’t care for the repeating “ee” sound in both names.
[name_f]Arielle[/name_f] [name_f]Isabeau[/name_f] - surprising! Good flow and it’s sweet.
[name_f]Arielle[/name_f] [name_f]Margot[/name_f] - doesn’t feel meaningful. [name_f]Margot[/name_f] is too heavy for [name_f]Arielle[/name_f].
[name_f]Arielle[/name_f] [name_f]Venus[/name_f] - very beautiful! The lightweight, ethereal [name_f]Arielle[/name_f] really highlights the prettiness and meaning of [name_f]Venus[/name_f]!
[name_u]Artemis[/name_u] [name_u]Rowan[/name_u] - Both names are so beautiful individually, but together there is something a little static. Not enough movement and flow.
[name_f]Aurora[/name_f] [name_f]Jessamy[/name_f] - beautiful! So sweet but strong. Feminine, understated.
[name_f]Ayelet[/name_f] [name_f]Liora[/name_f] - speaking in tongues. I want [name_f]Liora[/name_f] to have more emphasis.
[name_f]Ayelet[/name_f] [name_f]Luna[/name_f] - better than [name_f]Ayelet[/name_f] [name_f]Liora[/name_f], but the wondrous, luminous meaning of [name_f]Luna[/name_f] makes [name_f]Ayelet[/name_f] seem vapid.
[name_f]Ayla[/name_f] [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] - the intricately composed quality of [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] makes [name_f]Ayla[/name_f] look even more unfinished, insignificant.
[name_f]Jessamy[/name_f] [name_f]Luna[/name_f] - feels a little bit too [name_m]Harry[/name_m] [name_m]Potter[/name_m], but I do like it and would like to meet a little girl with this name!
[name_f]Penelope[/name_f] [name_f]Liv[/name_f] - I think [name_f]Liv[/name_f] deserves the first spot in a combo with [name_f]Penelope[/name_f]. [name_f]Liv[/name_f] is quite a weighty name for being so short, and [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] quite a lilting name for being so long, so I can see why you put them together, but it’s still a touch off balance.
[name_f]Penelope[/name_f] [name_f]Margot[/name_f] - too trendy, and [name_f]Margot[/name_f] looks unfinished next to [name_f]Penelope[/name_f].
[name_f]Penelope[/name_f] [name_u]Rowan[/name_u] - [name_u]Rowan[/name_u] in the middle can lose its beauty because it looks more like a last name. [name_u]Rowan[/name_u] [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] works, but even so, I find the names too different, stylistically, to compliment one another.
[name_u]Rowan[/name_u] [name_f]Annaliese[/name_f] - I put [name_u]Rowan[/name_u] and [name_u]Regan[/name_u] in the same style category on my list. I absolutely adore both names.
