☀ my uc needs a makeover

my uc is so outdated! i haven’t updated it in probably a full year, and my combos have changed significantly! while i do still love some of the combos in my uc, i actually have a list of completely different combos in a google doc – i just haven’t changed my uc. and even now, some of my current combos are feeling old. so i need help! and insiration…

first, if y’all could just review my current combos lists and give your opinions – which names you love, which names you think need to move on, and suggestions! really anything you think of.

eta: i’m totally fine with switching names from the first name to the middle spot and vice versa! who knows – maybe that’s just what some of my names need.

girls combos

alice eleanora - i still love this one! i think she’s classic, elegant, and just beautiful. not really looking to change her. but i’m worried about having both eleanora and eleanor on my list (see polly eleanor)

annabelle ivy - i’ve loved annabelle since i was three years old, but she’s starting to lose her charm to me, and i don’t like that! help me find a new combo for sweet annabelle to help me love her again.

clara sunday - clara sunday is one of my longest standing combos currently, and i think she’s pretty! i don’t think i’m willing to give her up quite yet, but she has grown a bit dull to me. help?

collins leona - i just don’t love her! i’m not sure if both names were a phase for me. i like them but they don’t have a spark anymore. new combos? or just dump?

juliet ruth - see collins leona!

polly eleanor - again, the issue with having both eleanora and eleanor in my list. and i feel like polly has almost lost her spark, but not quite! i just need a new combo or some inspiration please!

sullivan dahlia - i’ve loved sullivan on a girl for a long time. she feels kind of special to me, but also she’s just growing dull. dahlia is also pretty but just not in this combo!

boys combos - boy names are HARD for me

gideon leo - i’ve loved this combo for a very long time, and i still think it’s nice, but it’s just nice. it’s just whatever to me right now, which is disappointing. obviously i’m very much struggling with names feeling bland!

lewis edmund - this one still has some spark! i think i’ll keep this combo, but what do y’all think?

theodore sage - theodore has lost his punch! i just don’t love him anymore. it’s a nice name, but it’s just whatever. unfortunately same with sage. can you help me find my love for them again?

and here are my longlists (which really aren’t that long!). i don’t know if they’re up to date, i haven’t t thought over them really.

thank you all so much! i am in desperate need of inspiration <3

I love your names!

girls combos: I think that [name_f]Polly[/name_f] [name_m]Sullivan[/name_m] [name_f]Dahlia[/name_f] sounds nice! It combines some of your unsure names with a new combo.

boys combos: [name_m]Lewis[/name_m] [name_m]Edmund[/name_m] sounds nice, with a strong vibe to it. [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] [name_f]Sage[/name_f] is a lovely combo, but if you wanted to change it, I think that [name_m]Gideon[/name_m] [name_m]Leo[/name_m] [name_f]Sage[/name_f] could work.

old combos: I love [name_f]Clara[/name_f] [name_f]Sunday[/name_f], [name_f]Eleanora[/name_f] [name_f]Blue[/name_f], and [name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Augusta[/name_f]! for boys, [name_m]Florian[/name_m] [name_m]James[/name_m] sounds nice! I could imagine him a brother to [name_m]Gideon[/name_m] [name_f]Sage[/name_f]!

combo suggestions based on your list (I’m using some names from the list, and some from your other combos):
[name_f]Dahlia[/name_f] [name_f]Primrose[/name_f] [name_f]Ruth[/name_f]
[name_f]Stella[/name_f] [name_f]Dorothy[/name_f]
[name_f]Clementine[/name_f] [name_f]Astoria[/name_f] [name_f]Faye[/name_f]
[name_m]Sullivan[/name_m] [name_f]Leona[/name_f]

[name_m]James[/name_m] [name_m]Matteo[/name_m]
[name_m]Caspian[/name_m] [name_m]Leo[/name_m]
[name_m]Hugo[/name_m] [name_m]Oscar[/name_m] [name_f]Sage[/name_f]

I really hope this helps and makes sense because I just got back from taking a 3 hour Algebra EOC :sweat_smile:! hope you feel inspired soon :heart:

[name_f]Collins[/name_f] [name_f]Leona[/name_f] → I don’t really care for [name_f]Collins[/name_f] personally, but I like [name_f]Leona[/name_f]!

[name_f]Juliet[/name_f] [name_f]Ruth[/name_f] → I like this combo, but it sounds like it’s lost its sparkle.

[name_m]Theodore[/name_m] [name_f]Sage[/name_f] → [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] has such a sweet charm, cuddly and cool.

Reviewing your UC

[name_f]Alice[/name_f] [name_f]Eleanora[/name_f] - elegant, classic and bright - feels like a solid name for the list

[name_f]Annabelle[/name_f] [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] - I like the vintage but charming feel to this - but some new ideas could be:

[name_f]Annabelle[/name_f] [name_f]Carys[/name_f]
[name_f]Annabelle[/name_f] [name_f]Iris[/name_f]
[name_f]Annabelle[/name_f] [name_f]Vita[/name_f]
[name_f]Annabelle[/name_f] [name_f]Keziah[/name_f]
[name_f]Annabelle[/name_f] [name_f]Twyla[/name_f]
[name_f]Annabelle[/name_f] [name_f]Juno[/name_f]
[name_f]Annabelle[/name_f] [name_f]Lucy[/name_f]
[name_f]Annabelle[/name_f] [name_f]Celine[/name_f]

[name_f]Clara[/name_f] [name_f]Sunday[/name_f] - one of my favourite [name_f]Clara[/name_f] combos - balanced, between classic and sparkly

[name_f]Collins[/name_f] [name_f]Leona[/name_f] - this does feel quite different to the other three I’ve so far reviewed - I’d say take it off the list.

Some twists / new combos (sometimes loosely) inspired by this:

[name_f]Coralie[/name_f] [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f]
[name_f]Colette[/name_f] [name_f]Noelia[/name_f]
[name_f]Bronte[/name_f] [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f]
[name_f]Olwen[/name_f] [name_f]Lydia[/name_f]
[name_f]Collins[/name_f] [name_f]Matilda[/name_f]
[name_f]Saffron[/name_f] [name_f]Leona[/name_f]

[name_f]Juliet[/name_f] [name_f]Ruth[/name_f] - it is simple and sleek, but if it’s not sparkling for you, a few ideas:

[name_f]Elspeth[/name_f] [name_f]Juliet[/name_f]
[name_f]Juliet[/name_f] [name_f]Philippa[/name_f]
[name_f]Juliet[/name_f] [name_f]Maren[/name_f]
[name_f]Ramona[/name_f] [name_f]Violet[/name_f]
[name_f]Prue[/name_f] [name_f]Josette[/name_f]
[name_f]Josette[/name_f] [name_f]Ruby[/name_f]

[name_f]Polly[/name_f] [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] - I do love [name_f]Polly[/name_f] but for me, I’d keep [name_f]Alice[/name_f] [name_f]Eleanora[/name_f] over this - as I stumble a bit on the L’s in this one.

A few new combos:

[name_f]Polly[/name_f] [name_f]Jemima[/name_f]
[name_f]Polly[/name_f] [name_f]Seraphina[/name_f]
[name_f]Polly[/name_f] [name_f]Matilda[/name_f]
[name_f]Polly[/name_f] [name_f]Viviana[/name_f]
[name_f]Polly[/name_f] [name_f]Viola[/name_f]
[name_f]Polly[/name_f] [name_f]Anouk[/name_f]
[name_f]Polly[/name_f] [name_f]Juniper[/name_f]

[name_m]Sullivan[/name_m] [name_f]Dahlia[/name_f] - I like [name_m]Sullivan[/name_m] and it does feel linked to you :grin:

Maybe…

[name_m]Sullivan[/name_m] [name_f]Dorothea[/name_f]
[name_m]Sullivan[/name_m] [name_f]Tabitha[/name_f]
[name_m]Sullivan[/name_m] [name_f]Pearl[/name_f]
[name_m]Sullivan[/name_m] [name_f]Tansy[/name_f]
[name_m]Sullivan[/name_m] [name_f]Mavis[/name_f]

[name_f]Eve[/name_f] [name_f]Dahlia[/name_f]
[name_f]Dahlia[/name_f] [name_f]Ingrid[/name_f]
[name_f]Agnes[/name_f] [name_f]Dahlia[/name_f]
[name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] [name_f]Dahlia[/name_f]
[name_f]Sybil[/name_f] [name_f]Dahlia[/name_f]
[name_f]Dahlia[/name_f] [name_f]Sylvaine[/name_f]


[name_m]Gideon[/name_m] [name_m]Leo[/name_m] - rugged, cool and balanced, but playing around with it:

[name_m]Gideon[/name_m] [name_m]Lysander[/name_m]
[name_m]Gideon[/name_m] [name_m]Carlisle[/name_m]
[name_m]Gideon[/name_m] [name_m]Kai[/name_m]
[name_m]Gideon[/name_m] [name_m]Forest[/name_m]

[name_m]Caspian[/name_m] [name_m]Leo[/name_m]
[name_m]Gethin[/name_m] [name_m]Leo[/name_m]
[name_m]Gideon[/name_m] [name_m]Leonidas[/name_m]
[name_m]Tristan[/name_m] [name_m]Leo[/name_m]
[name_m]Gideon[/name_m] [name_f]Blyth[/name_f]

[name_m]Lewis[/name_m] [name_m]Edmund[/name_m] - solid with [name_f]Narnia[/name_f] vibes

[name_m]Theodore[/name_m] [name_f]Sage[/name_f] - it’s nice enough - [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] is classic but on trend, with grandeur and style - [name_f]Sage[/name_f] is lovely - wise and warm and adds something to [name_m]Theodore[/name_m].

Similar:

[name_m]Thaddeus[/name_m] [name_m]Gage[/name_m]
[name_m]Leander[/name_m] [name_m]Silas[/name_m]
[name_m]Frederick[/name_m] [name_m]Bram[/name_m]
[name_m]Abram[/name_m] [name_m]Ford[/name_m]
[name_m]Asa[/name_m] [name_m]Dorian[/name_m]

Making some combos with your long lists:

[name_f]Adelaide[/name_f] [name_f]Ruthie[/name_f] / [name_f]Ruthie[/name_f] [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f]
[name_f]Opal[/name_f] [name_f]Clementine[/name_f]
[name_m]Olsen[/name_m] [name_f]Primrose[/name_f]

[name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Maryella[/name_f]
[name_f]Winnie[/name_f] [name_f]Lavender[/name_f]

[name_m]Caspian[/name_m] [name_m]Milo[/name_m]
[name_m]Oscar[/name_m] [name_m]Florian[/name_m]
[name_m]Gideon[/name_m] [name_f]Sage[/name_f]

Some old combos I'd give a second chance:

[name_f]Cecily[/name_f] [name_f]Opal[/name_f] - light and pretty
[name_f]Flora[/name_f] [name_f]Margot[/name_f] - charming and vintage
[name_m]Augustus[/name_m] [name_m]Brave[/name_m] - powerful and cool
[name_m]Willoughby[/name_m] [name_f]Sage[/name_f] - bold and charming and cute

If I were to suggest a few more combos:

[name_f]Philippa[/name_f] [name_f]Marigold[/name_f]
[name_f]Enid[/name_f] [name_f]Cassandra[/name_f] / [name_f]Edith[/name_f] [name_f]Cassandra[/name_f]

[name_f]My[/name_f] thoughts:

I don’t mind having two combos with similar names in them on my UC, personally. I see it as displaying my favorite combos I made that I’m proud of and really love, no reason why you can’t have [name_f]Eleanora[/name_f] and [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] if you love those combos. I had two combos containing [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] for a while.

If you just don’t love [name_f]Collins[/name_f] [name_f]Leona[/name_f], [name_f]Juliet[/name_f] [name_f]Ruth[/name_f], [name_m]Sullivan[/name_m] [name_f]Dahlia[/name_f], or [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] [name_f]Sage[/name_f] anymore, remove them. You could always put them on the “Adopt a Combo” thread, if it would make you happier to see someone who loves them more take them.

I love [name_m]Gideon[/name_m] [name_m]Leo[/name_m], [name_m]Lewis[/name_m] [name_m]Edmund[/name_m], and [name_f]Annabelle[/name_f] [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] of your current combos, and [name_f]Alice[/name_f] [name_f]Nightingale[/name_f], [name_f]Annabelle[/name_f] [name_f]Hope[/name_f], and [name_f]Diana[/name_f] [name_f]Wildrose[/name_f] of your old combos.
[name_f]Annabelle[/name_f] [name_f]Wildrose[/name_f] would be a nice combo :rose:

And finally, I’ll suggest ten new combos off each longlist:

girls
[name_f]Dahlia[/name_f] [name_f]Sunday[/name_f]
[name_f]Ruthie[/name_f] [name_f]Sailor[/name_f]
[name_f]Anna[/name_f] [name_f]Lavender[/name_f]
