Your favorite names are so classic and feminine! I like a lot of them. These are the ones I think sound best together, and the ones I’m tempted to use myself:
[name_f]Edith[/name_f] [name_f]Pearl[/name_f] - I like this a lot. [name_f]Do[/name_f] you have a short last name? I have a two-syllable fn and a one-syllable ln, and sometimes feel that my name sounds staccato.
[name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] - [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] is favorite of mine, and I like the sound of [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] [name_f]Ivy[/name_f], but am not wholeheartedly behind [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] on its own merits.
[name_f]Agnes[/name_f] [name_f]Jewel[/name_f] - I’ve really been feeling [name_f]Agnes[/name_f] lately! It seems so vintage, pretty and spunky at the same time. I like the nn options of [name_f]Aggie[/name_f] and Ness(ie), and it pairs so well with the beautiful, simple, heirloom name [name_f]Jewel[/name_f]. Nice choice.
[name_f]Olive[/name_f] [name_f]Dorothea[/name_f] (or [name_f]Olive[/name_f] [name_f]Catherine[/name_f]) - assuming [name_f]Dorothea[/name_f] is pronounced Dor-o-the-a, and not Dor-thee, I like it. Otherwise, I prefer [name_f]Olive[/name_f] [name_f]Catherine[/name_f] - [name_f]Olive[/name_f] is a sturdy girl in my mind, while [name_f]Catherine[/name_f] is very delicate, and I like the contrast. It’s a bit of a surprise and surprises are interesting.
[name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] [name_f]Iris[/name_f] - both of these names rank high on my list, so this combination gets a thumbs-up from me!
[name_f]Marianne[/name_f] [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] - I prefer [name_u]Marian[/name_u] or [name_u]Marion[/name_u] to [name_f]Marianne[/name_f], and think they flow into [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] a bit better than [name_f]Marianne[/name_f] does, since the emphasis is on the first, rather than the last syllable.
[name_f]Louisa[/name_f] [name_f]Bess[/name_f], [name_f]Louisa[/name_f] [name_f]Blythe[/name_f] - I love both of these! Out of curiosity, do you pronounce [name_f]Louisa[/name_f] like [name_f]Lu[/name_f]-ee-sah or [name_f]Lu[/name_f]-wee-zah? Either way, I’m digging these short B middles!
[name_f]Margaret[/name_f] [name_m]Wilder[/name_m] - [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] is such a versatile name: it’s put-together and timeless on its own, and it has the fun nicknames [name_f]Maggie[/name_f], [name_f]Margot[/name_f], and [name_f]Greta[/name_f]. [name_m]Wilder[/name_m] is great name, although I sometimes wonder about surnames as middles - I more readily assume that the name has family significance than I would if it was used as the first. Not a big detractor, though.
Overall, I really like your name style, and would happily ask for your help pairing my favorites up, since I have so much trouble matching firsts with middles, and you seem to have a knack for it! Kudos!
