[name_f]Saoirse[/name_f] [name_f]Caroline[/name_f] (SEER-sha)/Saoirse Noelle
[name_f]Matilda[/name_f] [name_u]June[/name_u] - Dislike [name_u]Mattie[/name_u]/[name_f]Maddie[/name_f] and not too crazy about [name_f]Tilly[/name_f].

[name_f]Caitriona[/name_f] (ka-TREE-na)
[name_f]Dorothea[/name_f] “[name_f]Thea[/name_f]”
[name_f]Gabrielle[/name_f] - I don’t like the obvious nicknames, so [name_u]Gabby[/name_u], [name_f]Elle[/name_f]/[name_f]Ella[/name_f]/[name_f]Ellie[/name_f], etc… won’t work. Neither will [name_f]Brielle[/name_f]. Considered [name_u]Abby[/name_u], but can’t use it.

[name_f]Vada[/name_f]
[name_f]Aviana[/name_f]
[name_f]Cassia[/name_f] ([name_u]CASS[/name_u]-ee-ah) - I probably would stick it in the middle spot because my little sister is [name_f]Cassandra[/name_f] AKA [name_f]Cassie[/name_f], so it might be too confusing if I used it as a first name.
[name_f]Zara[/name_f]
[name_f]Zora[/name_f]
[name_u]Sasha[/name_u]
[name_f]Sienna[/name_f] - It’s pretty; I just don’t know if it works for an adult as a FN. Maybe better in the middle?

[name_f]Georgiana[/name_f] “[name_f]Gia[/name_f]”

The names that aren’t part of a combo yet can be either a FN or MN, unless otherwise noted.
FN suggestions: I like something not in the top 200 and prefer classic names. Not a fan of trendy names or most modern ones. I also love international names as long as they’re easy enough to spell and pronounce. Irish, Latvian, Russian, Scottish, and Welsh names are a plus.
MN suggestions: Common classic names are fine as MN’s and I don’t mind a few fillers here and there, but I want to branch out beyond the usual [name_u]James[/name_u], [name_f]Anne[/name_f], [name_m]Thomas[/name_m], Marie, Michael, Lynn, John, and [name_f]Grace[/name_f]. Unusual names are fine too.
No names of cars, booze, pets, medicines/drugs, food, or most places as FN’s or MN’s (especially [name_u]Brooklyn[/name_u], [name_u]Phoenix[/name_u], [name_u]Paris[/name_u], [name_u]London[/name_u], [name_u]Egypt[/name_u], [name_f]India[/name_f], [name_f]China[/name_f]. I see those way too often around the internet). For girls’ combos, nothing masculine or surname-y. For boys, nothing that sounds violent like [name_m]Gunner[/name_m], [name_u]Hunter[/name_u], etc…
LN will be [name_m]Fleming[/name_m] (It was gonna be Rosemann-[name_m]Fleming[/name_m], which I was considering changing my LN to as well, but I changed my mind [I will be [name_f]Helena[/name_f] [name_u]Vivien[/name_u] [name_m]Fleming[/name_m] when I can afford to make it official, but for now I simply go by my nickname [name_u]Laney[/name_u] except for legal stuff]. It’ll take forever for my future kids to learn how to write it. lol)
