I have way too many name crushes right now :joy: but help me decide which middle works best?

[name_m]Cedric[/name_m] [name_m]Samuel[/name_m]

[name_m]Cedric[/name_m] [name_m]Thomas[/name_m]

[name_m]Cedric[/name_m] [name_u]Spencer[/name_u]

[name_u]Or[/name_u] any suggestions?

Thanks !

[name_m]Cedric[/name_m] [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] is my favorite combination of those you listed, but they’re all lovely!

@katinka you’ve always helped me with my name crush musings.
(Still speculative) would love to know your thoughts :slightly_smiling_face:

Definitely [name_m]Cedric[/name_m] [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] for me! [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] is such a warm, solid classic, it complements the more adventurous [name_m]Cedric[/name_m] brilliantly.

And I’m generally a fan of alliteration, but it works better with some sounds (and some names) than others, and I don’t love lots of double S combos — they can sound quite hissy to my ear.

I think it works best with very classic, established first names (for example, I remember a Babyberry named something like [name_f]Susannah[/name_f] [name_u]Sparrow[/name_u], which I loved), but I think with a more offbeat first name like [name_m]Cedric[/name_m], I’d personally prefer a non-alliterative combo.

[name_m]Cedric[/name_m] [name_u]Lawrence[/name_u]? [name_m]Cedric[/name_m] [name_u]Julian[/name_u]? [name_m]Cedric[/name_m] [name_u]Arthur[/name_u]?

[name_m]Cedric[/name_m] [name_u]Lawrence[/name_u] is so dreamy. I think everyone knows my love for [name_u]Lawrence[/name_u] by now :joy: but I still cannot get my stubborn ox of a partner on board for [name_u]Lawrence[/name_u].
Same for [name_u]Julian[/name_u].

[name_m]Cedric[/name_m] [name_u]Arthur[/name_u] however :heart_eyes:
Also I do love [name_m]Cedric[/name_m] [name_u]Gabriel[/name_u]

Are we saying [name_m]Cedric[/name_m] [name_m]Samuel[/name_m] and [name_m]Cedric[/name_m] [name_u]Spencer[/name_u] are too similiar in the c/s sound? [name_m]Ah[/name_m] yes I think I do hear this now.

[name_m]Cedric[/name_m] [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] is very handsome. It has a nice softness while also feeling charming and strong

Yes, exactly. It’s not a dealbreaker but despite the spelling, the sound is the same, so it’s a bit too alliterative for me in those particular combos.
