I love generational dice roll CAFs - I get so into these made up families and create backstories for each person and enjoy following their “lives”. But I’m so scared to start another one because the last one I did had like 14 decades and by the end I was spending 2-3 hours+ on each post, but I was so determined to finish. 
It was fun, but a little traumatizing, ngl, and I’m not sure when I’ll be ready to commit to something like that again.

Double -a endings are pretty a lot of the time… I only dislike them when there are too many other sounds repeating in the rest of the name.

I LOVE double -a endings
They sound melodic and I love many -a names so using them in the same combo is even better

Double -a endings can be so lovely! [name_f]My[/name_f] first ever combo for [name_f]Anya[/name_f] was [name_f]Anya[/name_f] [name_f]Victoria[/name_f], which I still really like!

Double -a endings are the only same endings I can easily tolerate tbh. For some reason, -a almost feels very subtle and difficult to notice? Whereas double -ee sounds or -o and occasionally -ia feel more emphasised and stand out more to me.

I can get behind double -a endings as long as the names don’t have other repeating sounds or as long as the match is just the -a and not the ending 2 or 3 letters of the names
[name_f]Elena[/name_f] [name_f]Silvana[/name_f]? Not my jam. [name_f]Elena[/name_f] [name_f]Lucinda[/name_f]? [name_m]Can[/name_m] totally get behind that.

my toddler nephew calls my kids mimi and momo, and now we’re choosing a name for #3 that also has a cutesy double-syllable nickname 
I wouldn’t do it without the full names to fall back on, but when it’s just a nickname, bring ON the cutesy!

I find double A- endings with non-matching vowel sounds (as you describe) so lush and entrancingly maximalist. It just adds so much exuberance to a combo.

@regionlatbest @AerieEerie ah the Umbrella Academy is to blame for the fact I adore [name_u]Hazel[/name_u] on a boy!!
@marigold.solstice coincidentally, my rant is also that I wish [name_u]Hazel[/name_u] had more use on boys! Your description is perfect. I’ve just been imagining little boys named [name_u]Hazel[/name_u] & [name_u]Ezra[/name_u] and I wish I was brave enough to seriously consider it!

I understand this 
I love [name_f]Maren[/name_f], it’s beautiful, easy to say, the perfect name for a hypothetical daughter. It took way too long for me to realize that it sounds just like my name with an ‘m’ tacked on front. (And I just don’t think the same way about my own name even though they sound so similar.)

Literally, I like [name_f]Ophira[/name_f], [name_f]Shira[/name_f], [name_f]Samira[/name_f], Catira, [name_u]Akira[/name_u] etc. but it would be so confusing in real life to have all that!

I love both [name_f]Ferelith[/name_f] & [name_f]Lilith[/name_f] so, so, much, but they’re much to close for me to use both of them 
[name_f]Lilith[/name_f] has so much more meaning to me but I’ve been loving my [name_f]Ferelith[/name_f] combo more than my [name_f]Lilith[/name_f] combo recently, and I can’t decide which name I like more!

It’s going to be hard to choose between [name_f]Eleanora[/name_f] and [name_f]Flora[/name_f] one day and [name_f]Lily[/name_f] and [name_f]Lucy[/name_f]! — I love them all, but too similar!

Omg yeah when names I like are too close for siblings like [name_f]Lucille[/name_f] and [name_f]Lucia[/name_f] or [name_m]Dax[/name_m] and [name_m]Ajax[/name_m]

I’m trying to convince myself that Lilith and Lilac aren’t too close for siblings even though I know they probably are
I mean… lih in [name_f]Lilith[/name_f] and [name_m]Lye[/name_m] in lilac… 
idk lol
That’s my reasoning but they look so similar visually
WHY DO I HAVE TO LIKE SUCH SIMILAR SOUNDING/LOOKING NAMES??
